Chapter 266 This Was Bait
The cargo ship was about to set sail. Nolan finally arrived at the scene just in time.
Jayson boarded the cargo ship with a group of law enforcement. officers. âSomeone reported that there
are smuggled goods on your cargo ship. Customs needs to recall for inspection. You canât leave today.â
The leading merchant exclaimed, âSir, I always followed the regulations and reported accordingly. I
have been running this route for over a decade. How could I possibly engage in smuggling?â
âWe found out after checking. Move aside.â
Soon, a group of people came up on the large deck. Nolan was surrounded by people, overlooking
them like a god.
He glanced at several people in charge. There was no sign of Kevin here.
Nolan raised his chin and asked, âWhere is Kevin?â
âMr. Dryden? He was of noble status. How could he possibly accompany us for the shipment? Sir,
please stop joking.â
Jayson grabbed the personâs collar with an air of arrogance and coldly said, âStop wasting time. I know
he is on the ship. Make him come out.â
They checked the surveillance footage. The car Kevin was riding in had arrived at the port two hours
ago.
âSir, we are honest and upright businessmen. Why would I deceive you?â
Nolan couldnât be bothered with the old hands who had been immersed in the mall for years, so he
went straight into the cabin.
âSir, there are no goods here. This is where we live. Please donât go in. Iâm afraid it will disturb you.â
Jayson kicked him away with one foot. âGo away.â
Nolan kicked open one room door after another.
Peyton repeatedly tested his patience. She clearly promised not to leave again.
She eventually missed the appointment.
Nolan thought, âShe has grown up. She even ran away with another man.â
Nolan was constantly thinking about how to handle Peyton after catching her.
As he kicked open one door after another, Nolanâs brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
These are the places where the ship workers lived. The rooms were really unsightly, and the majority of
them were filled with a strong smell of sweaty socks.
They quickly arrived at the last room. Nolan kicked open the door. Inside, there was only one fat
woman. She screamed in fright when she
saw him enter.
âMr. Dalton, surely itâs not that obvious. They might be in the room downstairs,â Jayson quickly
reassured.
Nolan had already sensed that something was not quite right. He looked at those doors, which were
opening one by one, like the mouths. of monsters.
Everything seemed to be too perfect.
If he were the one setting up the trap, would he hide people on such an obvious boat?
Nolan suddenly realized. Although Kevin was young, he was cunning. He probably had already made
thorough plans.
Nolan would definitely think of waterways and then go to check all the ships.
In order to prevent Nolan from finding out about him, Kevin deliberately prepared such a ship to attract
all of Nolanâs attention.
Iâm afraid by now he had already taken Peyton on another ship in the
sea!
âMiscalculated!â
Jayson hadnât realized yet. He looked at Nolan with a puzzled expression. âMr. Dalton, where did we
miscalculate?â
âPeyton was not here.â
This cargo ship was so huge, and inside were all large containers. If they searched carefully, it would
take them almost half a day.
Kevin had long since escaped with Peyton.
âYeah, thatâs right. This is the Dryden familyâs boat!â
âHe made multiple preparations and had long been prepared to be investigated. This ship was the bait
he released.â
Jayson didnât believe it. Lucian walked over with big strides. His face was serious. âMr. Dalton, there
are too many containers. Even if we have enough people, it will take until the late night to finish
opening and inspecting each box.â
Sure enough, Nolan guessed it right. He had a calm expression on his face. âNo need. They had
already left.â
âDid you leave?â
Nolan walked out of the cabin with a stern face, instructing, âPrepare the helicopter. Go and arrange it.
Say that there are drug traffickers smuggling drugs. Stop all the ships. Donât let any ship leave the
country.â
