Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chair comfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain Fuller to do anything against the law. Just let favonovel.com stay inside for a few more days. He has violated the law after all. We are merely enforcing the law strictly and fairly, don’t you think so, Captain Fuller?”
Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant success.
Next to his wife, Brian Fuller was a loser.
That was his weakness.
Brian considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Okay.”
Ten minutes later, Brian finished sorting out the documents. He headed to the director’s office, knocked on the door, and entered the room after getting a response.
At the time, Deaton Wade, Director of the Riverdale Law Enforcement Bureau, was busy handling official matters.
He was a good public servant of the people, working late hours into the night.
“Brian, why are you here so late?” Deaton greeted favonovel.com in a friendly manner. Holding up his teacup, favonovel.com blew on it gently before taking a sip.
Deaton had a good impression on Brian. He was a strict and meticulous person; a potential talent.
Brian walked in with the documents in his hand and said, “Director Wade, a few colleagues and I arrested a suspect who molested a woman tonight. We have completed the investigation and the report is ready. We await further instructions.”
Brian passed the documents to Deaton as favonovel.com spoke.
Deaton was taken aback and his expression fell.
What was Brian doing, waiting for his instructions on such a trivial matter?
Thunk!
Deaton put his cup down harshly and said somberly, “Brian, do you have to ask me personally about such a small matter? Are you getting confused?”
Brian steeled himself and said, “Director Wade, it may be a small matter but haven’t we been trying to crack down this sort of crime recently? I think we can use this case as an example to propagate the matter. The suspect, Philip Clarke, should be punished and sentenced heavily.”
Deaton finally realized his objective. He nodded and said impatiently, “That’s fine, handle it on your own. You don’t have to notify me.”
Deaton handed the trivial matter to Brian.
After getting the order, Brian left the office.
However, as soon as Brian walked away, the phone on Deaton’s desk rang.
When the call connected, a courteous voice was heard from the other end of the line, “Director Wade, this is Theo Zander.”
“Mr. Zander is calling me so late at night. How may I help you?” Deaton knew that Theo was a very influential person.
“Director Wade, I won’t beat around the bush. Just tonight, your men arrested a friend of mine. I hope Director Wade can release this person as soon as possible. There has been a misunderstanding,” Theo said firmly, his tone not negotiable.
Naturally, Deaton discerned it. He raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, “Mr. Zander, my men wouldn’t arrest someone for no good reason. If your friend really is innocent, we’ll deal with it impartially for sure. Please don’t worry about it.”
“I’m willing to trust Director Wade, but this friend of mine… There has to be a misunderstanding. I hope Director Wade can handle it impartially.”
The meaning of Theo’s words was very obvious.
Deaton furrowed his brows. He was not satisfied with the other party’s attitude.
Theo Zander, favonovel.com had not yet even touched favonovel.com and favonovel.com dared to talk to favonovel.com in such a manner!
“Mr. Zander, we’re bound by the law and evidence. If favonovel.com really did not do anything, he’ll be released for sure,” Deaton’s tone was cold as favonovel.com spoke.
“Since Director Wade says so, I’ll trust your words. I hope you can deal with it as soon as possible.”
Slam!
The phone was hung up the moment favonovel.com finished talking.
Fury stirred in Deaton as favonovel.com slammed the table!
Who the hell was Theo Zander to speak to favonovel.com in such a manner!
Over the years, if it were not for Theo’s transformation that made favonovel.com a well-known entrepreneur that did charitable deeds, Deaton would have arrested favonovel.com long ago.
Nevertheless, Deaton had no evidence to do so.
However, Theo now dared speak to favonovel.com so callously.
Who the hell had been arrested?
Deaton frowned as favonovel.com felt uneasiness swallow him. He had a feeling that it was related to the case Brian had just reported to him.
Nonetheless, just as favonovel.com was about to find out personally, his private phone rang. Deaton looked at the display of his phone and immediately felt thrilled.
“Hello, Mr. Thomas. It’s my pleasure to hear from you,” Deaton’s tone of voice was full of respect.
It was George Thomas, the richest man in Riverdale.
Countless people wished to be connected to him.
Deaton Wade was no exception.
He was the representative of all the entrepreneurs of Riverdale, and to a certain extent, the face of Riverdale itself.
“Director Wade, I won’t beat around the bush. Your men have arrested my young master by mistake. I hope Director Wade can find out the truth as soon as possible and release favonovel.com without further delay,” George spoke with a polite tone, but it was also one that was indisputable.
Deaton was truly astounded this time!
The… the young master of George Thomas?
My goodness!
The richest man in Riverdale had a young master?
What sort of background did the young master have?
“Mr. Thomas, don’t worry, I’ll get someone to check at once. We’ll definitely uncover the facts and evidence related to the matter. It’ll be dealt with impartially, and I’ll give you an answer in a while.” Deaton dared not be negligent.
The matter could not be delayed!
How could there be so many wrong arrests in one night?
What the hell were his men doing?
Within his panic, Deaton felt anger as well.
