Chapter 2189


    Soon after Nathan ended the call, an ambnce arrived.


    A doctor led a team of medics over to Leah. He examined the severity of her injury and said to Nathan, “Sir, our preliminary analysis shows that your mother most likely fractured her shin. She needs to be rushed to the hospital for medical assistance right away."


    “Alright,” Nathan said as he nodded. "We''ll be right behind you."


    After that, he, Colin, and several of the medics helped Leah onto the stretcher.


    However, Mrs. Shulz was not happy. She barred their way and yelled, "Where do you think you''re going? You''ve hit me in the face, and do you think you can leave before settling this?"


    Nathan scowled at that. His priority was to escort his mother-inw to the hospital and then return to the park to end this once and for all.


    How outrageous is she! Even during times like this, she wouldn''t let us go to the hospital?


    Nathan''s eyes shed with anger.


    At that moment, Shangleyughed. "Hey, brat, weren''t you talking about firing me? Didn''t you ask the mayor to meet you here? What is it? Are you thinking of running off now?"


    "Don''t think you can escape before settling matters," Mrs. Shulz said. "No one leaves, including this broken-legged b*tch."


    Mrs. Shulz looked at Leah as she said that.


    Her words made Leah trembled with anger.


    The doctor had had enough, too. "You can resolve whatever this is by filing a police report. Thisdy has a fractured shin, so please do not obstruct me from doing my duty as a medical officer.


    "If we miss the window for treatment, this could lead to after-effects of an injury not properly healed. Do you want to be responsible for that?" "After effects?" Mrs. Shulzughed.


    "Before this matter is settled, she is not allowed to leave - not even if she had to end up limping.


    “Besides, they are the dregs of society. It wouldn''t have made any difference even if it did, would it?"


    Careful, you might make her famous as a mentally tough paraplegic." Shangley chuckled.


    The Shulzs and their followers all roared withughter.


    Nathan, feeling murderous, was just about to order Colin to teach them a lesson they would never forget. But he was interrupted by the raucous arrival of several ck sedans followed by police cars.


    The appearance of the fleet of cars left the bystanders in shock.

    Since Shangley was a bureaucrat, he was aware of the appointment of Audis and Passats as governmental vehicles of the highest-ranking. government servants. Thus, he grew pale when he saw that the car that led the fleet was an Audi A6. Content

    Instantly, his eye fell to the number te, and his heart stood still. JD00001!


    Shangley felt as though he was struck by a bolt of lightning. Fear filled his face, and shock and dread filled his heart.


    Maybe an unknown fact to most, but Shangley was aware that the te JD00001 belonged to the mayor of Channing.


    Oh God, the mayor himself is here!


    A man of medium built, aged forty or so but already with streaks of white in his hair, exited his vehicle with an air of elegant justice. A group of his men followed suit.


    This man was Channing''s new mayor - Vernon John.


    Vernon John used to serve in the North Army under Nathan as a high-level intelligence operative. After several shifts in his career, he found himself transferred to Channing as its new

    Mrs. Shulz was thunderstruck. "My God, she screamed hoarsely. "It''s the mayor! The mayor is here."


    Shangley sprang to action from his frozen pose.


    With an unctuous smile, he trotted

    over to wee the mayor. "Sir, I am the director of the Park Maintenance Department, Shangtey Shulz What brings you here? If you''d sent word beforehand, we could have been better prepared to receive you."


    Vernon was walking past him before he finished speaking, without even a nce at him.


    Meanwhile, Shangley was dumbfounded.


    He was still a departmental head. Even if the mayor didn''t think he was worth talking to, it was stillmon courtesy to at least acknowledge himlSo why was it that the mayorpletely ignored him?


    Shangley was still trying to recover from his shock and embarrassment when the mayor walked up to Nathan and smiled. “Mr. Cross, how are your
