The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1442

To make matters worse, Harold had spent years building an empire in Penang. His influence was vast, and it was highly likely he had already bought off the local police. Expecting their help was nothing but a pipe dream.

"Forget it. Don't waste your breath," Alex said. "We can't rely on the locals. We're on our own."

"But Penang is huge, and we're short-handed. Tracking him down alone is going to be nearly impossible."

Captain Quinn leaned back against the sofa, his chest heaving with anger. But as the rage subsided, it was replaced by a crushing sense of helplessness.

He had flown halfway across the world to team up with Alex and finally bring Harold to justice, only to hit a brick wall.

Not only had their target vanished, but the local authorities were giving them the cold shoulder. They didn't have a single lead to work with.

"So we just give up? We're going to sit back and watch that bastard get away with it?"

Captain Quinn gritted his teeth. "He's got so much blood on his hands. He's ruined too many lives. We can't just let him walk!"

"I don't want to let him go either."

Alex's voice was tight. "But right now, our hands are tied. He's hiding in the shadows, and we're out in the open. He knows this city like the back of his hand."

"We're in foreign territory without any official backup. If we stay in Penang, we won't just fail to find him—we might walk right into a trap. Sticking around will only do more harm than good."

Captain Quinn fell silent. He knew Alex was right. Staying in the city was pointless; it would only drain their time and resources, and put their lives at risk.

But leaving felt like a bitter pill to swallow. The injustice of it burned in his gut.
