Chapter 197:
"Our warehouse was robbed?" Noel looked extremely surprised. He had no idea about this incident.
Lynch handed Noel a glass of juice and poured himself some wine. "This is not unusual; many people are struggling to survive and have stopped worrying about whether their actions are legal."
"The warehouse manager told me this morning that they found a smashed open ventilation duct in the warehouse we rent. We lost about a few hundred bucks' worth of goods. This is not a good sign."
Lynch's expression was calm as he spoke, and his tone showed no change, as if it were just an ordinary conversation.
"This time, they succeeded. If we don't stop them, there will be a next time."
"If they succeed again next time and we still fail to stop them, their desires will escalate. So we must find them before they cause more destructive behavior."
Lynch raised his glass and clinked it with Noel, who had just learned what had happened. After taking a sip, he said, "You need to keep an eye on these things for me and find them."
Originally, Lynch thought about asking the driver assigned by the residential compound's service company, Jack, as such a person would have a traceable background and couldn't easily escape. But after some thought, he gave up on this idea.
When he left the municipal office building earlier, the way people in the square looked at him made him feel a sense of danger. These people were no longer mere protesters; they were evolving into rioters.
