In addition to the officers from the Saint Callen Police Department and the curious reporters, Luo Wei also noticed another group.
They were few in number, not wearing uniforms, and their appearances and behaviors were bizarre, giving off a mysterious vibe.
These individuals stood silently not far from him, as if they would swarm him at the slightest unusual movement.
Luo Wei only confirmed their identities by recognizing two "old friends" among them.
They were the "wizards" and "demon hunters" hired by Evelyn to deal with him during a previous timeline.
These people were agents from the Special Affairs Department.
Luo Wei couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that both major official supernatural organizations had been stirred up because of him.
Evelyn had already finished bandaging Luo Wei, and after they stood up, Luo Wei was handcuffed by the officers and brought to Chief Raymond's side.
The Third Prince glanced at Luo Wei, then looked at Chief Raymond and a man in a black coat standing beside him.
"You can take this person, but!"
The Third Prince pointed at the servants in the manor, "These accomplices who aided the evil forces, I will take them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several maids cast pleading looks toward Luo Wei.
"Oh, that's fine with me..." Chief Raymond hadn't finished speaking when Luo Wei nudged him with his elbow.
The agents from the Special Affairs Department all tensed up, glaring at Luo Wei, and roughly pulled him back.
"Don't touch my brother!!" Helena shouted angrily.
Evelyn also gave them a dangerous look.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Luo Wei explained quickly, exchanging a meaningful glance with Chief Raymond.
Chief Raymond paused for a moment, then immediately understood Luo Wei's intention.
"Well... these people..." He stroked his chin and shook his head at the Third Prince.
"They are all witnesses and must be taken back to the police station for questioning. Your Highness, you cannot take them."
"What did you say?" The Third Prince's eyes flashed with anger.
He had come here to cause trouble for the Fifth Princess, and although she had already escaped, taking her trusted servants would still be a significant victory.
With both witnesses and evidence, if this matter reached the Emperor's ears, the Fifth Princess would undoubtedly lose face, and he could naturally weaken her influence.
His plan was well thought out, but he hadn't expected so many obstacles to suddenly appear.
"Your Highness," the older man in the black coat stepped forward, wearing a polite but firm smile.
"The Special Affairs Department has been personally assigned by His Majesty to handle this case." He reached into his coat pocket. "I have His Majesty's signed order here. Would you like to see it..."
"Enough!" The Third Prince, already frustrated, had no desire to continue this conversation.
The Special Affairs Department had always been at odds with the Knights, and since they were sent by the Emperor, he had no authority to stop them.
After the Third Prince finally relented, the senior officers present all breathed a sigh of relief. Chief Raymond glanced back at Luo Wei and waved his hand.
"Wrap it up! We'll discuss this back at the station!"
Compared to Luo Wei, who was handcuffed, the officers treated the servants much more politely. After all, they were the Fifth Princess's subordinates and not suspects.
As Jason, the leader of the Shadow Guards, passed by Luo Wei, his usually stern face showed a grateful smile.
All the servants in the manor owed him a favor.
Luo Wei gave him a slight nod.
Over the past half month, his relationship with these people hadn't exactly been friendly, given that he and Ophelia had been constantly at odds. These servants were all "accomplices," and it was already generous of him not to kick them while they were down...
But to Luo Wei, Ophelia was one of his own, and her trusted subordinates were, in a way, also "his people."
The Third Prince, however, was an outsider. Luo Wei couldn't let Ophelia's weaknesses fall into the hands of her rival, especially when that rival was a life-and-death enemy. After all, among the five siblings, one prince had already died under mysterious circumstances...
Luo Wei believed that even the scheming Ophelia wouldn't use Luo Wei's enemies to attack him. This was their game, and it was built on mutual understanding.
After Luo Wei was taken away, the Third Prince watched his retreating figure, his brow furrowed in thought.
It was supposed to be an arrest, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed more like these people had come to rescue him.
He couldn't understand why this man was so important that so many people would step forward to protect him...
The Saint Callen Police Department, the Special Affairs Department, and even... the mysterious Abraham family from the imperial upper echelons.
The woman by his side seemed to be the designated heir of that ancient family...
The Third Prince knew that these people hadn't come to arrest the suspect in the bombing case, because the one who did that was...
So...
What was so special about this man?
The Third Prince pondered Luo Wei's name, and suddenly, his eyes widened slightly.
He quickly waved his hand, and a trusted aide hidden among the Knights quietly approached.
"If I'm not mistaken, his name is Luo Wei?"
The aide immediately nodded, "Yes, he's Luo Wei Edlin."
The Third Prince looked at him in surprise and immediately lowered his voice, "The same Luo Wei Edlin that Ophelia has been searching for all over the world?"
The aide replied, "Yes, I once pulled up his file. It's definitely him."
The Third Prince gazed at Luo Wei's retreating figure, his eyes gradually darkening.
"If he's someone Ophelia has gone to such lengths to find, he must have some unique ability that others don't know about. Her recent recruits have all been troublesome. Keep a close eye on him, and don't let your guard down."
"Yes, Your Highness," the aide immediately nodded.
...
After Luo Wei was escorted into a vehicle by the agents, Helena anxiously followed behind but was stopped from boarding the same car.
"Let me in! I want to sit with my brother!!"
The expressionless agents ignored her and slammed the car door shut.
Seeing Helena about to lose her temper, Evelyn quickly pulled her back.
"Don't worry, your brother is out of danger now. There's no need to panic..."
But Helena was surprisingly strong and wouldn't listen, struggling to break free.
Evelyn smiled helplessly. She had always known about Helena's stubborn personality.
So she gently patted her back, comforting her like a child:
"Be good~ Don't act rashly, or even if your brother isn't a suspect, he might become one because of you..."
Luo Wei, who had been communicating with the agents inside the car, slowly rolled down the window.
He looked at Helena with a gentle expression.
"Helena, be good. You might be able to visit me at the police station in a few days."
"Okay..."
Helena looked at Luo Wei through the window, her eyes filled with sadness, but she finally calmed down.
Luo Wei then smiled at Evelyn, "Take care of Helena for me. Don't let her do something crazy like breaking me out of jail!"
"Don't worry!" Evelyn chuckled, "You just focus on reforming yourself in there. And maybe reflect on why you keep attracting so many women!"
It was the usual sharp-tongued "Evelyn-style" remark, and Luo Wei shook his head with a wry smile.
"Teacher, please take care of things at home for me. Is everything okay there?"
It was just a polite question...
But Evelyn's guilty expression made Luo Wei frown.
"Uh... yes, everything's fine..."
Evelyn quickly urged him, "Just focus on your own situation. Don't worry about the house."
But in her mind, she was thinking...
Thank goodness he can't see the state of the old house right now. It's a mess, with snacks everywhere... it's practically a pigsty...
I need to clean it up before he gets back...
Hmm, I'll make Helena do it.
