Shadow Empire

Chapter 811 Are they all here? [666+10]
As four police cars slowly approached the villa, Alan looked with some surprise and saw that two police cars were already parked outside the villa.

Alan turned his head and looked at Erwin. Erwin had already put one hand on the pistol silently, but the security guard sitting next to him did not notice it.

The security guard's attention was focused on the police cars, and he just remembered that the police had already arrived at noon.

He was also very confused at this time. There were policemen here, so why would anyone call the police?

He didn't think that the policemen around him were fake, because a group of policemen had indeed come before, and he just thought it was a prank.

Moreover, the services in the high-end community do not allow him to make a decision without clarifying the situation. He must ensure the safety of the owners before leaving.

Four police cars slowly stopped outside the villa, the doors were opened one after another, and a group of neatly dressed policemen got out of the cars. The two thugs standing outside the villa saw these people.

The community security guard took the initiative to walk over and introduced them, "You two, the policeman said someone called the police here, saying there was an illegal intrusion."

"Can Mr. Matthew or his wife come out for a moment?"

The security guard had a subtle expression, because he didn't know the two thugs and he could feel that they were not good people.

One of them had a large tattoo on his neck, and he subconsciously turned around to look at Erwin and the others.

The officers gave him some courage to not leave and call for backup.

The thug was a little annoyed, "Nothing is happening here, get out of here!"

Originally, they were living a comfortable life, and they didn't really need to do anything in the strip club.

The daily job is to find a place to sit and watch striptease shows for free, and occasionally play some adult games with the dancers.

It's not that they actively engage in "sexual blackmail", but that the dancers occasionally provide them with some extra services for free in order to avoid trouble or in the hope of establishing a long-term relationship of mutual care with them.

It could be some oral sex, or it could be some actual combat.

All in all it was very happy in the club, but here?

They have to stand from the fucking afternoon until eight or nine at night, and then two other unlucky bastards will come and take over from them and stand until dawn the next morning.

There are only a few of them in total, guarding here in three shifts. It doesn't mean they have nothing to do during the day, as they still have to stroll around the yard.

So these thugs were in a bad mood and they were very irritable.

Erwin adjusted his belt, which was slightly too big and made his pants look like they were hanging on his hips. He walked over to the two men and said, "Someone called the police and reported that this place has been invaded. I don't give a fuck who you are. Either the owner of this place comes out, or we go in."

The thug's gaze lingered on Erwin's face for a moment, then he looked down at the holster on his waist and opened the holster with the safety rope, which meant that the other party could draw his gun at any time and anywhere.

With the help of the truth, the thug's emotions were somewhat under control. "I promise, nothing happened here..."

Erwin ignored his explanation, put his hand on the gun handle, and even took a step back.

It was this step back that made the two thugs feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.

They raised their hands. "Calm down, officer. I'm notifying the owner of the house now."

Another person walked to the gate of the courtyard, where there was an intercom device. They had learned how to use it when they first came on duty.

After two days of stabilization, Matthew's wife's mood has stabilized a lot, and she has talked to Sheriff Matthew on the phone these two days.

Sheriff Matthew would definitely not say anything unpleasant on the phone. When he learned that his wife's younger brother and several thugs had also moved into his villa, the sheriff, who had not liked the guy very much, inexplicably developed a feeling that "relatives are more reliable."

Now that they were able to get in touch and it didn't seem that bad, Sheriff Matthew's wife's mood stabilized. Now, except that there seemed to be more than a dozen people in the house, there was actually not much difference from the past.

The two children had been bored at home for two days, and they kept clamoring for their uncle to take them to the amusement park.

This made the brother-in-law promise a lot of things before they gave up the idea.

There was not much time left until dinner, and the whole family gathered in the living room watching TV.

Television is such a great thing. Although it is just an antique to Lance, for people of this era, it is the most advanced entertainment facility!

The price of more than one thousand yuan for one machine also means that it can only be a pastime that a minority of people can enjoy.

The communicator in the room suddenly rang, and the maid soon answered the call. After about ten seconds, she walked into the living room from outside, "Madam, sir, the police said someone called the police and reported an illegal intruder here, and they want to verify it."

Matthew's wife was about to stand up when her brother stopped her and said, "I'll handle them, you sit down."

He walked over to the intercom device next to the door, "You must have got the wrong address. Everything is normal here. No one has called the police, and no one has invaded here."

"If there's nothing else, you can leave."

These luxurious villas are all equipped with this simple intercom equipment, which is also one of the core promotional features of this community’s houses when they are sold to the outside world.

Technology always serves the rich first.

For those poor people, living here is like living in the future!
Although Alvin didn't quite understand the principle of this thing, he knew what he was here for.

He leaned closer to the microphone of the intercom, "Sir, we will not leave until we see the owner of this house. If the owner of the house is okay, it would be best if we could see them."

"We will only leave once we've confirmed that they are alright." "Otherwise we'll consider calling for backup and try to come in."

The brother-in-law was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at his sister who was looking at him, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

He said he could fix it, but in reality, he couldn't.

"How about I go out for a while?" she said.

The brother-in-law thought about it and shook his head. "This might be a trap. I'll let them in. You go and call the people Matthew arranged to come to the living room. I'll call my people over as well."

Matthew's wife nodded and walked to the back.

Matthew's henchmen were at the side and back of the house, his brother-in-law's thugs were in charge of the front, and these policemen were in charge of other locations.

There were also two policemen in the room. They were in a room on the second floor and could observe the situation in most of the villa.

Soon the thugs at the door received instructions from their boss and opened the door for these people.

Alvin took the security guard into the villa, saying that they did not know the owner of the house and needed the security guard to confirm it in person.

The security guard had no objection to this.

Soon a group of people entered the room. Four people stayed at the door, and the others followed Alvin into the room.

The moment they entered the room, the atmosphere in the room was noticeably depressing, but no one could sense it.

There were two state police officers in the living room. Their uniforms were slightly different from those of the local police. They looked at the young people who came in with scrutiny in their eyes.

The one walking in front was Erwin, holding a notebook in his hand. "Who is the owner of this house?"

Matthew's wife stood up. "It's me, sir."

Erwin glanced at the security guard, "Is that her?"

The security guard nodded, "Yes, this is Mr. Matthew's wife, and the hostess here."

Erwin took a few steps forward and glanced at the man standing next to her. "Who is this?"

"Were you held hostage or threatened by him?"

This question made the brother-in-law laugh in anger, "Shit, this is my sister, understand?"

"Sister!"

Erwin looked unimpressed, "I need this lady to answer me."

The brother-in-law was about to say something, but was stopped by his sister, "This is my brother. He didn't hold me hostage or threaten me."

Erwin nodded and looked at the two state police officers. "I don't know you. Which station are you from?"

Alan, who was standing next to him, almost laughed out loud. He was still wondering how Erwin would solve this problem, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he took the initiative.

The two state troopers looked at each other and said, "We are from the State Police."

Elvin looked at them twice and said, "I doubt your identities. I will verify them later!"

Before the two state troopers could refute him, he looked at Matthew's wife again, "I just heard that you have three children. Are they all okay?"

"Is there anyone who needs our help, or... isn't being held hostage or anything like that?"

"You'd better get him in our sight so we can make sure if there's anyone here who needs help."

He glanced at Alan at the same time and said, "Take the brothers and do a simple checkup."

It seemed that these policemen were not bad people, so Matthew's wife relaxed her guard a little.

Only two state troopers looked confused. Since when did the police in Red Rock City become so responsible?

But perhaps because this is a wealthy area, they didn't think much about it and didn't consider that these people would come so quickly.

Matthew's wife asked the maid to pick up the children. Soon, a boy and a girl came timidly into the living room. Matthew's wife stood behind them, hugged their shoulders, and said, "Officer, these are my two children. They are fine. No one is threatening them, and no one is holding them hostage or coercing them."

The two children were also very polite and shouted "Hello, police officer."

Erwin smiled and said, "The security guard said there is another child..."

"He didn't come back from school."

Erwin looked around. His men were already scattered throughout the living room. There were no blind spots and no one else could hide.

His eyes returned to Matthew's wife, "So, is your whole family here now?"
