Chapter 387:

Harlee said, “In Uwhor, most gangs fall under Matteo’s sway, and no assassin group would dare challenge him. If Rhys was here to negotiate with Matteo, why would Dark Night target him?”

Patrick was taken aback.

He hadn’t realized Harlee was so well-acquainted with Uwhor’s dynamics.

“Miss Sanderson, we did initially come to partner with Matteo, but upon our arrival, Matteo abruptly postponed our discussions due to other commitments. Mr. Green, concerned about further delays affecting the special police’s operations, opted to conduct his own investigations, leaving me to support the police.”

Harlee’s lips curled slightly. This mention of “other commitments” likely involved her… In that case, she realized she had no choice but to step in.

Harlee gave a slight nod, her eyes half-closed, her voice empty of any feeling.

“Continue.”

Patrick felt a chill at her tone, finding her presence even more daunting than Rhys’…

He swallowed nervously, looked away, and continued, “Mr. Green got a tip that Dark Night’s base was in the rainforest, so he went in alone. It’s been exactly two and a half days since he disappeared without any sign.”

Harlee glanced at her drink, took a long sip, and said, “Alright, I’ll go find him.”

Patrick stared at her, puzzled.

Harlee didn’t elaborate further. She simply asked for a contact number and told him to wait for her call at the hotel.

Holding her drink, Harlee walked back to the hotel, reflecting on why the news of Rhys’ situation had stirred a hint of anxiety in her. She unconsciously placed her hand over her heart.

Could this be a sign of affection?

Harlee returned to the hotel and casually brought up Rhys’ situation to Ritchie and Tonya.

Both Ritchie and Tonya looked utterly shocked, as if they had seen a ghost.

Ritchie asked with widened eyes, “Harlee, are you turning into a Good Samaritan now, meddling in others’ troubles?”

Tonya voiced her suspicion hesitantly, “Harlee, darling, could it be that…

Hmm… You’re jealous of me and Ritchie’s affection, so you also want to…

Hmm…”

Harlee felt no wonder that they were her closest friends, each with their unique quirks. She glanced at them indifferently. Sitting down on the sofa slowly, she touched her face thoughtfully. Resting her chin in her hand, she frowned slightly and explained, “The trouble he’s in has something to do with me.”

Once again, Ritchie and Tonya wore expressions of astonishment. When they heard that Matteo had canceled his meeting with Rhys at the last minute, they exchanged a knowing look. Learning that Rhys was involved in a perilous mission tied to anti-drug operations, they glanced at each other again.

Then, together, they asked, “Harlee, when are we heading to the rainforest?”

Harlee answered with a raspy voice, “Pack up. We’re leaving immediately. Matteo’s mission is in the rainforest too, so we’ll handle both tasks at once.”

“Alright.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll call Robbie over.
