The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 837 - : 416 Obsession_1
Chapter 837: 416 Obsession_1
“Comrade officer, what crime have we committed?” the person in charge cautiously asked.
But the cold-looking policewoman in a mask did not answer him. She waved to her subordinates, “Take them all in.”
And just like that, a group of people was taken away.
Crystal Park was crying so hard that her makeup smeared like a ghostly mask.
“Officer, I’m innocent. I’ve done nothing wrong. It was our manager who forced us to sell counterfeit goods. I was compelled to do it…”
Vanessa Aria was getting a headache from the woman’s shrill cries. It was all very chaotic.
...
There were several computers sitting in the office area. Vanessa Aria went over and had a look. The computer screens were displaying real-time backstage gift lists, while the other computers showing real-time merchandise transaction lists.
This internet celebrity company not only cultivated online celebrities but also engaged in direct sales through live streaming, a very hot business these days.
Vanessa Aria inspected several computers without finding any issues, making her increasingly suspicious that something was amiss.
Suddenly, one of the computer screens went black, displaying a horrifying bloody skeleton that startled two young cops.
The computer then emitted a disturbingly eerie laughter.
A moment later, the English word “FOOL” appeared on the screen.
Fool!
Vanessa Aria watched coldly, took a photo, and sent it to the group chat.
—A bunch of fools, played by others. Is this the level of the experts?
The group chat exploded with activity.
Vanessa Aria tried to call Virginia Frost, but the line was busy.
The officer asked, “Commander, how should we deal with these people?”
Looking disgusted at the hysterical Crystal Park, Vanessa Aria replied, “They are not in cahoots with the hackers, but they can’t escape culpability either. Take them back for a thorough investigation.”
Releasing them after such a commotion would make us look ridiculous. These people are not any better. It’s not a wasted trip, as we are ridding the public of a nuisance.
With the police causing such a big stir, it was impossible to keep others out of the loop. Soon, the whole building knew about the raid of the online celebrity company on the 22nd floor. Some applauded, while others worried.
These days, police have been making arrests all over Man Jiang Province, causing fear among the Pethkids. In general, this was all related to Aubree Groove’s assault case.
Once Aubree Groove got into trouble, the whole Pethkids was in chaos.
So, did this Internet celebrity company have anything to do with Aubree Groove’s assault case?
“Mr. Brian, this is bad. Really bad.” Linus rushed in.
Kelly Martinez, casually sipping tea with his legs on the coffee table, replied lazily: “What’s the hurry? The sky’s not falling.”
Linus recalled that Mr. Brian disliked impulsive people, so he calmed down and said, “Mr. Brian, something big has happened. The online celebrity company upstairs was just sealed off by the police. Rumor has it that it’s related to Ms. Rinto’s attack case. Even the cleaning lady was taken in for questioning.”
“Oh, serves them right.”
Linus snorted, “Indeed.”
The manager of that Internet celebrity company harassed her several times in the elevator, saying disgusting things. She had wanted to beat him up for a long time, and she didn’t expect karma to come this fast.
Linus wanted to go out and set off fireworks to celebrate.
“Well then, Mr. Brian, carry on with your business. I’ll go gather some more information.” Linus carefully closed the office door and took out her phone to send out a shower of red envelope gifts in the gossip group.
Kelly Martinez hummed a tune, his gaze fixated on the phone screen.
The WT9 group was inundated with rapid-fire updates.
“A bunch of useless idiots, hmm, such an apt description.” Even the most capable experts would be useless with a bland nine-to-five retirement life.
With a delicate touch on the keyboard, the computer screen rapidly switched around, finally showing a small red dot near the Doublefront Bridge in Pethkids, gradually approaching another red dot.
Switched to the email screen, checking the time at the bottom right corner, she scheduled an email to be sent.
She made a cup of coffee and eagerly waited for the show to begin.
She slid the chair to the window, opened the blinds, and enjoyed the view from the high-rise building. It felt like she was closer to the sky, the stars seemed to be within reach.
“The moonlight is beautiful tonight, perfect for a hunting.”

At midnight, as the long night fell, there were hardly any people on the streets of Pethkids, with only the occasional cars passing by.
“Madam, the plan has failed. Agave Rinto was just released, no charges filed.” Belen Philbert reported quietly.
There was a stifling atmosphere in the car, as if a large silent hand was choking them. Even Bartlett Parker, who was driving, couldn’t help but shudder.
“That Madon Linggo, always saying one thing and doing another. Just wait and see how I’ll deal with him.” Bartlett Parker cursed.
