You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 603 Vivian Was Arrested

Early the next morning, the makeup artist worked on Noah's disguise for hours. By the end, Noah was unrecognizable. His face was wrinkled, and there were age spots on his dark yellow skin. Noah, a handsome man of thirty, turned into an old smuggler whose eyes were full of the same hatred and rebellion he had seen in the eyes of every criminal he had ever arrested. Noah's voice was deep and hoarse and easily identifiable to Vivian, so he was not to speak during the entire sting operation. His subordinates would do the talking for him. Director Shen had already sent people to guard the intersection of South Road and West Forest Street close to Silverhall Nightclub. Everything was going in perfect order.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Noah's subordinates received a phone call. They had been instructed to drive along the route Vivian had given them with the money, but the specific location was not revealed. Vivian was a cautious person. She had installed many cameras on the route she had given them. The car had almost circled around half of Lexingport City. After confirming that there was no one following them, Vivian ordered the driver to go to Silverhall Nightclub.

Two hours later, it was exactly four o'clock. Silverhall Nightclub was closed in the daytime. Only a few guards and members of the cleaning crew were present at this time.

Vivian's people led Noah and his men to the nightclub's underground warehouse.

"You can only bring one of your subordinates with you, Mr. Yuan."

"Mr. Yuan" was Noah's chosen code name. It was from his mother's surname, Yuan.

One of Noah's subordinates was Mr. Black. His real name was Rayden Zhang, an irritable man. Even if he did not disguise himself, no one would suspect him of being a spy. One of Vivian's men frisked the two of them and even checked the black-framed glasses and watch that Noah was wearing. He was very thorough.

Noah's black hat was also inspected.

Noah had a camera and a bug on him to collect evidence. They were on the watch that Nina gave him, and they were impossible to detect without precise equipment. "You may go in."

Noah dipped his chin in acknowledgement and put his hat back on, shrouding half of his face in shadow.

Rayden followed Noah into the underground warehouse, carrying two silver suitcases in his hands.

The warehouse was dimly lit and filled with piled-up stuff that looked like they had been pushed aside to clear the center of the room.

It was deathly quiet save for the sound of Noah's and Rayden's shoes scraping across the floor.

They had just adjusted to the darkness when something clicked and then half of the warehouse lit up.

The sudden light made them close their eyes instinctively. As they squinted their vision back into focus, they saw a group of people standing in front of them. Up front was a faintly smiling woman in a white dress, swirling red wine in a glass in her hand.

Vivian was fond of this style. She even set up a marble round table in front of her that was adorned with flowers that matched the color of her drink. She was leisurely sitting in a blue velvet chair. Behind her was a small army of hulking men who looked like they snapped necks and crushed bones for a living. The dignified and elegant Vivian was in stark contrast with her henchmen.

But if there was something that she and her burly subordinates shared, it was the viciousness and wild ambition in her eyes.

As the old saying went, appearance was created by the heart, and therefore, evil eyes reflected evil hearts.

Except for the way she was dressed, Vivian was no different from the people behind her.

"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Yuan. Finally we meet. It hasn't been easy setting up a meeting with you these past three years." Vivian raised her wine glass to show her respect. When the glass was close to her red lips, she flashed them a charming look, like a poppy blooming slowly.

Over the years, Vivian had learned a lot about seducing men to get her way. Her every move was no longer as reserved and noble as a lady's. She had turned into a cold, heartless bitch that would do anything for material gain.

Noah knew that Vivian had changed a lot, but he did not expect her to be totally different. In the past, even if she did something wrong, she was still kind-hearted.

But now, she embezzled the Ye Group's funds, illegally imprisoned her biological father, and engaged in smuggling.

No matter what, Vivian was still his sister. At the thought of this, Noah felt a dull pain in his heart. He had tried his best to stop her but to no avail.

In the end, he had to arrest her.

Noah raised his right hand, and Rayden set down the silver suitcases on the marble table and opened one. Layers of bills greeted Vivian.

Then, he opened the other suitcase, which was also full of cash. After a few heartbeats, he closed the suitcases and said, "The money is here. Where are the goods we want?"

Seeing the money, Vivian smiled even more brightly. She waved her hand, and one of her men brought a suitcase to the table. She opened it and let them have a look.

Noah and Rayden leaned in and carefully inspected the contents of the suitcase.

They were as agreed upon. The two nodded at Vivian and pushed the suitcases of money toward her. With a smile, Vivian handed them the goods.

After getting what they wanted, Noah and Rayden left the warehouse.

The smile on Vivian's face disappeared. "Follow them," she ordered one of her men.

He followed them out cautiously.

As soon as he was out of the warehouse, someone grabbed him and pressed his face against the wall. He saw many of his fellows lying face-down on the ground with their hands cuffed behind them. Vivian's man remained still as the police cuffed him and took him away. At the last possible moment, he pretended to trip and fall to his knees.

Unknown to the police, there was a panic button on the ground at the entrance of the warehouse, and Vivian's man was able to press it by intentionally falling on it. The moment he knelt on the ground, the door to the warehouse snapped shut.

Inside the warehouse, the warning lights started flashing madly.

Vivian's face turned red with rage. But she still didn't doubt Mr. Yuan. It could be seen how successful Noah's plan was.

Vivian wouldn't have agreed to make a deal if she had thought Mr. Yuan was suspicious.

She was worried that if Mr. Yuan would betray her after he was arrested.

"Let's go. There's another way out of here. Hurry up." Vivian stood up and led her men to one of the exits.

She took the two suitcases of money with her.

She was absolutely confident that she would not be caught, and now that she had the money, she could afford to return the funds of the Ye Group that she had embezzled. However, she did not know that Tim had already betrayed her. The police were guarding her two possible escape routes, waiting for her to fall into their hands.

Noah and Rayden waited at the exit on West Forest Street. They only caught a group of Vivian's subordinates but did not see Vivian.

"Vivian isn't with them, Captain Ye." Rayden walked to Noah's side and saw him taking off his hat.

All that makeup on Noah's face was troublesome and could not be removed immediately.

Noah straightened up and replied, "Then go to South Road. She'll take that route."

As expected, Vivian was intercepted and arrested on South Road. As a police officer put her in handcuffs, she screamed and shouted. Tears started streaming down her face as she bitterly cried injustice. She did not stop talking until she saw Mr. Yuan coming over with a man in a policeman's uniform. Her eyes widened.

"You..." Vivian did not expect that Mr. Yuan would cooperate with the police to catch her. Her face once again turned red with fury as more tears rolled down her cheeks.

And then, the man beside Mr. Yuan called him Captain Ye.

Vivian caught her breath, stared at the man in disbelief, and said, "Noah?"

Noah gave Vivian a deep look and said, "Confess your crime."

As soon as Noah's voice reached her ears, Vivian felt her knees buckle. 'So everything in the past three years was just to set a trap for me?' she thought bitterly.

She could not believe it. She pointed at Noah's face and screamed, "You're not Noah! Noah's in Spring City! He's been there for more than three years!"

Noah did not want to see or talk to Vivian anymore. "Take her away," he ordered.☐☐☐☐☐☐
