Chapter 149


    Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chairfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain


    Fuller to do anything against thew. Just let him stay inside for a few more days. He has vited the


    law after all. We are merely enforcing thew strictly and fairly, don’t you think so, Captain Fuller?”


    Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant sess.


    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 minutester, 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, workingte hours into the night.


    “Brian, why are you here sote?” Deaton greeted him in a friendly manner. Holding up his teacup, he


    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 havepleted the investigation and the report


    is ready. We await further instructions.”


    Brian passed the documents to Deaton as he 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 rke, 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 sote 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, he had not yet even touched him and he dared to talk to him in such a manner!


    “Mr. Zander, we’re bound by thew and evidence. If he really did not do anything, he’ll be released for


    sure,” Deaton’s tone was cold as he spoke.


    “Since Director Wade says so, I’ll trust your words. I hope you can deal with it as soon as possible.”


    m!


    The phone was hung up the moment he finished talking.


    Fury stirred in Deaton as he mmed the table!


    Who the hell was Theo Zander to speak to him in such a manner!


    Over the years, if it were not for Theo’s transformation that made him a well-known entrepreneur that


    did charitable deeds, Deaton would have arrested him long ago.


    Nevertheless, Deaton had no evidence to do so.


    However, Theo now dared speak to him so callously.


    Who the hell had been arrested?


    Deaton frowned as he felt uneasiness swallow him. He had a feeling that it was rted to the case


    Brian had just reported to him.


    Nheless, just as he was about to find out personally, his private phone rang. Deaton looked at the


    disy 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 him without further dy,”


    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 rted 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 dyed!


    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.
