Chapter 1367 I believe in you a little more.

Joanne didn't reply again and directly dragged Aunt Nyla into the blacklist.

She thought about it and called Brian.

Before acting, it was better to tell Brian first.

Brian was in his office and quickly picked up the phone, his voice as always low and soft,"What's wrong?"

"What Aunt Nyla put in your wine yesterday was a banned substance. This kind of thing can only be obtained through illegal channels." Joanne said indifferently, "I will contact the police, Captain Turner and the others will investigate this matter."

"Uh-huh." Brian's response was unexpectedly flat, "You can also tell Rolando directly."

"Well, you don't object?" Joanne asked tentatively, "Isn't Lu's going to cooperate with the Hexuan Group? If this matter has any impact on the cooperation, I ..."

Joanne wanted to say that she could not contact the police and let Aunt Nyla off this charge.

However, without waiting for her to finish, Brian interrupted her-

"I'm backing out, the cooperation with the Hexuan Group ends here."

Brian's tone sounded cloudy, but Joanne could still guess that this kind of thing, was not trivial.

Bewildered, she asked, "What are you going to do if you don't work with the Waxuan Group?"

She wasn't surprised that Brian had given up his cooperation.

When Mr. He did something like this, Brian was already being merciful by not creating a big fatal crisis for He Xuan Group.

But what happens to the company's projects when you stop working together?

Brian said indifferently, "I cooperated with He Xuan for the core team under Mr. He. Now, the team has jumped ship to our company."

"...!!!"

In one morning's time, Brian had scooped up the core team of the He Xuan Group to Lu's.

Joanne's worldview shook hard and she was completely speechless.

Brian's voice carried a shallow smile, and as if nothing had happened, he continued, "Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it. If you have any problems, come back to me, I can help you."

"... No need." Joanne froze and said, "I have at least worked in the police department for more than a year, this matter, no problem."

Brian smiled, "Go ahead."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Joanne hung up the phone, still unable to return to her senses.

After a while, she dialed a phone number and contacted her former colleague, Captain Turner, to tell him about Aunt Nyla obtaining some kind of prohibited drug through illegal means.

Captain Turner said he would personally investigate properly.

A reporter from Tang's media immediately sent out a follow-up report that Aunt Nyla, in addition to disturbing the hotel attendant, was also suspected of purchasing prohibited drugs, adding to the crime.

Netizens did not expect this drama is not yet over, calling it powerful, sitting and waiting for the results.

Over at the police station, Aunt Nyla denied that she had purchased prohibited drugs, until the police presented a series of evidence in front of her eyes, and she was left speechless.

Half a minute later, Aunt Nyla stood up angrily: ''Who told you guys? Was it Joanne? Let me out, I want to get her killed!"

Captain Turner coolly reminded Aunt Nyla, "Ms. Zhang, this is a police station, you should think before you speak."

Aunt Nyla looked at Captain Turner, finally chickened out and sat down, not daring to say anything else.

Captain Turner continued, "Besides, do you think you can see Joanne? Even if you see her, do you have a chance to lay your hands on her?"

"..." Aunt Nyla thought how it was not willing, disdainfully "snort--" a sound. "Don't make Joanne sound so amazing, she's just an ordinary person too!"

Captain Turner felt that he should still give Aunt Nyla a big blow, otherwise this Aunt Nyla, not only will not die, but also will not cooperate with their investigation.

Captain Turner threw out a heavy bomb and finally reminded Aunt Nyla, "Joanne herself has a certain ability to fight back, and she has the most professional bodyguards by her side. Can you go up or down and think you have the ability to fight Joanne?"

One sentence, like a bucket of snow water poured down from the top of Aunt Nyla's head, the fact bare|naked|presented in front of her eyes-

Yeah, she didn't actually have the ability to fight Joanne.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have lost this battle so badly.

Aunt Nyla had fallen in love with Brian a long time ago, and she had always felt that as long as she made a move, she would be able to handle Brian.

So, she studied abroad and then poured herself into internet fame when she returned home.

She thought that just by her halo, Brian would definitely not be able to escape from her.

The truth is, Brian got married.

It doesn't matter, marriage can be divorced ah, she can definitely take Brian from his wife.

Auntie once advised her not to easily provoke a woman who could marry Brian.

She didn't believe in Joanne's evil and finally tossed herself into the police station.

Wouldn't it only make her look more ridiculous to say she regretted it at this point?

Captain Turner could see that Aunt Nyla was shaken, so he struck while the iron was hot and asked, "The banned drug you bought, we suspect that it was made by a gang that the police have been investigating for a long time. As long as you provide all the clues you know and assist us in catching this illegal gang, we will reduce your sentence at our discretion."

It was as if Aunt Nyla saw a glimmer of hope, "Really?"

Next, she gave a full account of the whole process of purchasing the drugs, and provided several key clues to the police, who smashed the illegal gang's pharmaceutical factory that afternoon and captured all the main perpetrators.

Police posted a notice on the Internet that Aunt Nyla was fined and detained for 15 days for maliciously wounding the victim, but not causing significant harm, and for providing key clues that assisted the police in dismantling an illegal pharmaceutical ring.

So, Aunt Nyla is really buying banned pills.

Netizens start another round of discussion ...

Someone in the financial circle broke the news that the core team of the Hexuan Group left Lu, and the stock price of the Hexuan Group began to fall, and the entire company was on edge.

Mr. He remembered what Brian said yesterday at the hotel-

"Mr. He, He Xuan Group is not as indestructible as you think. In half a month, I can have you in debt and begging for your life!"

Brian wasn't kidding, he started to act, and the He Xuan Group started to shake things up!

Mr. He was so chagrined that he couldn't bite his teeth off.

Most men with successful careers like them have affairs, and it's not uncommon for them to have affairs with three or four young girls at the same time, so he assumed that Brian, like them, must not be able to pass the beauty barrier either.

However, the rumor that Brian was in love with Joanne was actually true.

They usually send out this kind of "husband and wife love" news just to solidify their image, but Brian actually came for real!

It's insane!

Mr. He tried to contact Brian to at least salvage the cooperation between the two companies, but Brian simply didn't answer his calls, let alone see him.

Just as Brian had said, the huge He Xuan Group had begun to be in jeopardy.

On the other hand, Brian went straight home after work.

Joanne was on the phone with Captain Turner in an elegant and comfortable housecoat.

Captain Turner said, "Joanne, thank you. If you hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't necessarily have gotten such an important clue from Aunt Nyla. That illegal pharmaceutical gang wouldn't have been eliminated by us in one fell swoop so quickly."

"You're welcome." Joanne smiled, "I knew you guys were investigating that gang, I just guessed that Manny Mayaght know some clues, I didn't realize that she was really the key to solving the case."

Captain Turner hesitated for a moment and asked with some anticipation, "Joanne, will you still come back to the police station to work with us?"

"I ..." Joanne apologized, "Captain, I haven't thought about it yet."

Captain Turner was relieved when he thought about it and said, "That's right, you should be very busy with your two children, how would you have time to think about this?" Saying this, his tone became solemn, "However, I still want to make a statement to you on behalf of the bureau--Joanne, as long as you're willing to come back, you're welcome at any time."

"Thank you Captain!"

Joanne hung up the phone and turned her head to see Brian.

Brian changed into his house slippers, walked over, and looked at Joanne,"You uncovered Aunt Nyla because you suspected that she could assist the police in solving the case?"

"Not exactly for that reason." Joanne made a gesture of "a little bit", "Of course there is also a little bit of selfishness."

Aunt Nyla had almost created a wedge between her and Brian, so how could she be completely unconcerned?

However, it was indeed because Aunt Nyla could assist the police in solving the case that she had called Captain Turner so decisively.

Brian looked at Joanne,"Have you long heard about the 'office scandal' between Aunt Nyla and I?"

As things stood, Joanne had nothing to hide.

She nodded, "The day I went to the office with you after Wesley and Yuna got their marriage license, when I went to make you coffee, I happened to hear someone in the pantry talking about you and Aunt Nyla."

On that day, Joanne's behavior was so abnormal that Brian still remembers it vividly.

Brian raised his eyebrows and smiled helplessly, "So, you weren't even trying to drink any fancy coffee that day?"

"Not at all." Joanne bristled, "I've always liked black coffee just like you."

"Well, good taste." Brian complimented Joanne, then the words turned, "There was another night, you were also very abnormal you ... were rarely that active."

Thinking of that night, Joanne's cheeks burned red as if they were tinted with the color of peach blossoms, subconsciously avoiding Brian's gaze.

Brian, however, didn't give Joanne a chance to escape, gradually approaching her, "Joanne, why?"

"... "Joanne Xin crossed her heart and blurted out, "Because that night, I inadvertently saw the call records of you and Aunt Nyla, but that number of yours, it is clear that only Gavin and I and they know it! I thought ..." she didn't have the courage to say anymore.

Brian pursued the question nonchalantly, "What did you think?"

Joanne s voice weakened all of a sudden,"I thought that you and Aunt Nyla ... really had something."

Brian frowned and stared at Joanne, "Why don't you ask me directly?"

"Because ..." Joanne said more and more her voice got smaller and smaller, but finally dared to raise her head and meet Brian's gaze, "Brian, compared to skepticism, I treat you... I believe that you won't want me. I believe that you won't not want me, much less Aiden and Romy."
