Time passed by swiftly in the blink of an eye. It was the day of the official retirement ceremony!
Thomas waved at his family members at the front door and watched them leave.
In the car, Harvard still said, “Thomas has beaten me so many times. This time favonovel.com is definitely going to lose to me! He also bet that favonovel.com would meet me at the retirement ceremony. N ow favonovel.com is not even going to the venue. How could we possibly meet each other there?”
Emma smiled, “You better don’t get too happy too soon. My husband never lied. He said that favonovel.com would definitely meet with you there if favonovel.com said so. You just wait and see.”
Harvard shrugged, “Then I have to wait and see.”
Forty minutes later, the car came to a halt.
Johnson’s family got out of the car one after another and walked towards the venue of the retirement ceremony. The venue was crowded with people today. All the famous and prestigious people in Southland District were present. Besides the official personnel, many corporate executives had also attended the event.
Even more, reporters from hundreds of news media companies had arrived at the scene. Each of them was holding a microphone and a camera. They were taking photos so that they could write about a real-time news article for today’s event.
In order to safeguard the security of the venue, thousands of police officers were dispatched today.
All of the police officers were fully armed with guns. With so many armed officers, no one would choose to make trouble under such circumstances. Each and every person was checked thoroughly before they could enter the venue. Every attendee had to show their invitation letters and also verify their identity by undergoing a biometric facial scan, ID card verification, and so on.
Before entering the venue, there were two passages for men and women. Everyone had to go through a very thorough body search to prevent anyone from bringing in any dangerous items.
The most influential people of the entire Southland District had gathered in this retirement ceremony today. No mistakes were allowed to happen at all. If criminals managed to slip in, it would probably bring a devastating blow to Southland District. Therefore, the police had to be extra careful about this.
Johnson’s family walked down the passage and looked at the crowded people around. They could not help but sigh emotionally, “It’s really amazing. Looking at the atmosphere today, there are tens of thousands of people here at the venue, right?”
Harvard nodded and said, “I am sure there’s a great number of people who attend the ceremony today. Being able to attend such a ceremony is a recognition of one’s social status. Anyone who is influential or famous would attend such an event willingly.”
They talked while walking down the passage. As they were walking, they heard a sonorous voice.
“Stop right there!!!”
Johnson’s family was startled, stopped and looked back. ‘Who is speaking to them in such a domineering tone?’
After a glance, they instantly knew who this person was. The person who called out to them was someone they have known for many years. He was Jade’s husband, Donald!
Last month, Donald had left temporarily for a task in the Eastern Region.
As soon as favonovel.com got back home, favonovel.com was shocked to know that his wife had been arrested and imprisoned. He was so anxious that favonovel.com could not sleep all night. He tried various ways to get favonovel.com out of jail, but it was all in vain. It was the chief officer in charge who had personally taken care of Jade in jail. Even though Donald was a person of status, favonovel.com could not think of any other ways.
He had been sulking at home for the past few days. Today, favonovel.com was attending the retirement ceremony of the chief officer in charge as a representative of the Eastern Region. As soon as favonovel.com came to the meeting, favonovel.com saw a few very annoying people, Johnson and his family members. He was raging in anger. He was already feeling upset today. When favonovel.com met with these few people who were his enemies, favonovel.com became angrier.
‘By the way, who are these people? Are they worthy enough to be invited to participate in the retirement ceremony of the chief officer in charge? What kind of joke is this?’
Harvard smiled and took the initiative to say, “Oh, isn’t this Mr. Brick? You have also come to participate in the retirement ceremony of the chief officer in charge?”
Donald snorted and said, “What do you mean by ‘I have also come to participate’? As the Deputy Commander of the Eastern Region, it is natural that I’m invited to participate in the ceremony! On the contrary, you guys are the ones who don’t know your place. People like you shouldn’t attend this kind of event. Hurry up and get lost!”
There was an uneasy look on Harvard’s face.
