Before Wesley could answer, Brian's mobile phone buzzed again.
The screen showed that someone was calling him.
This person's phone number was very important for now.
"I'm a bit busy, and I'll call you later."
After that, Brian hung up the call with Wesley and picked up the call that had been put on wait.
"Mr. Brian, it's been a while." A young man's teasing voice came from the phone. "Were you calling Wesley?"
"That's none of your business." Brian asked directly, "What do you want to tell me?"
"I just came back from abroad. I didn't want to tell you such a serious thing, but my father sent me to take charge of your case. I have no choice! He pressured me!"
Next, the young man complained about his father and even suspected that he was not his biological son. He always had an impulse to do a paternity test.
Finally, he asked Brian, "Is doing a paternity test considered an unfilial act?"
Brian rubbed his temples and kept telling himself that he had to be patient with Rolando Bell, who was naturally talkative.
It turned out that Brian overestimated his patience and underestimated Rolando's talkative character.
As Rolando spoke, he gradually rambled and began to talk about what if he was not his father's biological son. Would he laugh or cry about it?
Also, could he change his ridiculous name if he wasn't his father's son?
Brian pressed his temples harder and interrupted Rolando coldly. "Get to the point."
"The point?" Rolando was stunned. "Oh, didn't I say that my father sent me to be in charge of your case?"
Brian was speechless.
In Brian's eyes, that was not the point at all.
Rolando was Chief Taylor's son.
Chief Taylor was the chief of the Arlington Police Department.
More than a decade ago, Chief Taylor and Brian's father were very good friends. It was also because of this friendship that when Brian's father was in trouble, Chief Taylor was not in charge of his case.
After Brian returned to the country, he came to Chief Taylor and told him that his father was murdered back then. The real murderer was not the driver surnamed Hong, but Rowdy.
In addition, Brian told Chief Taylor that one of his purposes for his returning was to reinvestigate his father's case and bring Rowdy to justice.
Chief Taylor also told Brian that he had been secretly investigating the case of Brian's father and found something fishy, but it was not enough to be evidence to reverse the case.
From then on, Brian and Chief Taylor had been secretly cooperating.
Of course, their cooperation was limited to reinvestigating the case of Brian's father, and it was not related to any interests.
Rolando was the youngest son of Chief Taylor. After graduating from the police academy, he was sent abroad by Chief Taylor to study. He was quite familiar with Brian and Wesley, but because of his identity, he did not intervene in any of their affairs.
After graduation, Rolando's mind was full of how to get rid of his family's control. On the spur of the moment, he established a studio in America and became a private detective.
After working as a private detective for several years, Rolando was finally tired of that kind of work that was not challenging at all. He collected himself and returned to the country.
Rolando didn't tell his family about his return.
He planned to return home for a few days and hang out with his good friends. When he got tired of it, he would go home and give his father a surprise.
He had never expected that he would be surrounded by his father's private guards as soon as he got off the plane.
A few plain-clothes policemen dragged him home and dropped him in front of Old Mr. Tennyson.
The old man said that he wanted to set up a task force to investigate a case and wanted to hand over the force to Rolando.
Rolando was well aware that he would have to obey his father's orders after returning to the country,
However, if he was assigned to leading a task force, he could barely accept it.
"Okay!" Rolando pulled over a stool and sat face-to-face with Chief Taylor. He looked greatly interested. "Dad, how many people are there in my task force? And, whose case will I be in charge of?"
Chief Taylor told Rolando about Brian's father's case and Rowdy's background.
In the end, he said, "As the police, we will cooperate with Brian to secretly investigate Rowdy. As the person in charge of the task force, your main job is to contact Brian for information. The task force's affairs will not be open to the public for the time being, and you don't have to report to the police station for work. Contact me by phone or at home."
Rolando hated being a policeman, so he didn't want to return home after graduation. He would rather be a private detective in America.
He didn't need to go to the police station. It was just what he wanted.
Rolando's expectations rose sharply and he said, "Even if I don't have to go to the police station to work, we are still a task force. There must be a secret office, right? Otherwise, how am I supposed to manage my team?"
Chief Taylor patted Rolando on the shoulder. "Rolando, you just need to manage yourself."
"Huh?" Young Master Bell looked confused. "Dad, what do you mean?"
Chief Taylor then slowly revealed the truth. "Rolando, you have no teammates in your task force."
Rolando was speechless.
He felt insulted.
After all, he had graduated from one of the top police schools in the Americand continued his criminal investigation major for several years.
Did his father have to treat him like this?
Rolando immediately turned hostile. "I quit!"
Chief Taylor did not talk much about the major principles with Rolando but just talked to him calmly. "Boy, this case is related to the truth of your Uncle Lambert's case, as well as Brian's future life. I am worried about handing it over to someone else. You are the only and most suitable candidate."
Rolando thought for a moment. His tone grew softer, but he was still unwilling to compromise. He deliberately asked, "Dad, do you know that you are sacrificing me as your son?"
Chief Taylor said justly, "I've selected the most suitable candidate."
Rolando had nothing to say in reply.
He had to admit that his father had really found a good excuse.
"What's more-" Chief Taylor calmly aroused Rolando's fighting spirit. "Don't you think this is a great challenge? Rowdy is someone that even the international criminal police have been investigating."
"Oh?" Young Master Bell looked like he didn't believe it. "Is this Rowdy very powerful?"
"The international criminal police have been investigating him for many years, but he can still be the executive president of the Scott Group openly. Do you think this person is powerful?"
Chief Taylor admitted that he deliberately did not answer Rolando's question directly.
He knew that this was the easiest way to arouse Rolando's fighting spirit.
As expected, Rolando was lost in thought.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "I'll take this case!" Challenging a villain was his favorite thing to do.
Chief Taylor nodded with satisfaction and then told Rolando about the grievances between Wesley and Rowdy. Of course, he did not miss the entanglement between Wesley and Yuna.
"What?" Rolando found it incredible. "How can someone like Wesley fall in love with a woman? Damn it, Cupid must have missed his shot!"
"Wesley is such a workaholic. I thought that he was destined to be alone for the rest of his life!
"However, a person like him is in love?
"That's so unfair. Why hasn't my love come to me yet?"
Although Rolando was sulky, he was very efficient. He began to pay attention to Rowdy's movements that day.
Then, he found out that Rowdy had received an invitation letter to the banquet. Of course, he also noticed the requirement of bringing a female companion.
According to Chief Taylor, Rowdy was wooing Yuna.
At this time, as long as Rowdy was not out of his mind, he would definitely take Yuna to the banquet, wouldn't he?
If Rolando could think of this, then Brian and Wesley could also think of this.
According to Wesley's style, he would most likely set off a bloody storm at the banquet.
However, it would not be the right time for him to do that.
Therefore, when Rolando hurriedly called Brian, he found that Brian's phone was busy.
He was sure that it had to be Wesley who was calling Brian.
Chief Taylor had already told Brian that Rolando would assist him in the investigation of Rowdy.
After receiving Rolando's call, Brian wanted him to get to the point. He did not want Rolando to repeat what he already knew. Instead, he wanted to know the purpose of Rolando's call.
Rolando didn't hear Brian speak for a long time, and he couldn't help asking, "Hasn't my dad told you that I'm in charge of your case?"
"Chief Taylor has told me about it." Brian asked coldly, "What are you calling me for?"
"I already know that Rowdy is going to attend the banquet." Rolando said, "And I guess Wesley also knows, doesn't he?"
After a while, he still got to the point.
Wesley knew that Rowdy would attend the banquet, so Brian did not hide it. Instead, he asked, "Is there a problem with that?"
"Yes, and it's a big problem!" Rolando almost jumped up. "Wesley will definitely take action at the banquet, won't he?
Brian didn't have any clue about this matter, so he didn't dare to make a rash conclusion.
Brian tentatively asked Rolando, "What are you going to do if Wesley takes action for real?"
"My god. I'll have to stop him, of course!" Rolando felt worried. "Everything that happens at the banquet will be exposed by the media. If Wesley wants to stir up any trouble, it will not be as simple as being exposed by the media. The Public Security Department will intervene and investigate! Regardless of whether Wesley can save Yuna or not, his action will have a great impact on the image of Arlington."
Brian paused and asked, "Do you mean that Wesley can't do it?"
"It's not that he can't, but he can't do it at this time!" Rolando said earnestly, "The image of Arlington is not the most important. What matters the most is that once this operation fails, it will directly pose a threat to Yuna's safety. Brian, tell Wesley that this is not a joke."
Brian had considered what Rolando just said, and Wesley must have thought of it as well.
However, it would be Wesley who made the final decision.
Brian just said, "I'll talk to Wesley."
"Thank you for doing that." Rolando's tone suddenly became particularly sincere. "Brian, please take care of the safety of the entire Arlington on the day of the banquet!"
Brian did not say anything more and hung up the phone.
Joanne listened to Brian's phone call from the beginning to the end, but she couldn't understand what he was talking about, nor did she know the one he mentioned.
"Rolando? Who's that?
"How come I don't know that Brian and Wesley have this friend?
"And that person sounds talkative. It's surprising that Brian and Wesley, that indifferent guy, make friends with such a talkative guy."
