Chapter 222:
"What happened?" Lynch could feel Vera's body trembling slightly, so he gently supported her.
Vera took a deep breath, perhaps because she saw Lynch arriving and had a blind trust in him. Given Lynch's history of magically resolving many troubles, it was easy for her to develop a kind of "miraculous" admiration for him.
She began to explain the situation: Gap had received a call and left hurriedly, and now the police had arrived.
Lynch comforted her a little and walked with her towards her house, intending to find out what was going on. The simplest way was to ask the police.
When they returned to the house, another police car had arrived. This car differed from the ordinary police cars; its design gave an impression of being more expensive, and most people could recognize it—it belonged to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Two agents, wearing trench coats and sunglasses, whose identities anyone could guess at a glance, stood by the car chatting with a policeman. When they saw Lynch and Vera approaching, the officer ended the conversation and left.
One of the agents opened his trench coat, revealing the badge inside his inner pocket. "Senior Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation..."
His gaze swept past Vera and directly settled on Lynch, who took a slight step forward and positioned himself in front of Vera.
He might still be young, but that step made his back appear like a towering mountain in Vera's eyes, calming her previously panicked emotions.
