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.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
