Among the people who were witnessing the commotion were Raymond and Gale. They were so shocked that their eyes had widened. What the hell is going on? Why is Shawn acting like this after the phone call Christopher had made? At this moment, a bad feeling was brewing within them. Could it be possible that we had offended a powerful figure? If so, we’re doomed! The three other police officers aside from Shawn were also dumbfounded as they didn’t know what was going on, but seeing how pathetic Shawn seemed at the moment, they could roughly guess the situation. As they recalled Shawn’s previous arrogant attitude, they sighed silently as they knew Shawn deserved his karma. Meanwhile, Shawn was still trying to use all means of persuasion on Christopher, but to no avail. After approximately half an hour, the sound of another patrol car could be heard. The siren was blaring until the vehicle had come to a stop near where Christopher was at. Then, a casually dressed middle-aged man who was slightly stout had alighted the vehicle. There seemed to be a trace of anxiousness on the man’s face as he glanced at Raymond and Gale before snorting.The man, Owen Roberts, had walked straight to Shawn with an angry face before giving him a hard kick. “Who told you to capture anyone as you wish? You work as the people’s police! Have I ever told you you can do that?” “C-Chief, I admit my mistake. I shouldn’t have done that!” At this point, Shawn was already on the verge of tears. Owen was the one who told him to come take Christopher in, but now, Shawn was being the scapegoat. Why am I so unlucky?! he thought. With a righteous look on his face, Owen scanned through the surroundings until he saw that Christopher was in handcuffs. At once, his face darkened and he turned to glare at Shawn before snatching the key over from his hands. Then, he rushed over to Christopher. “Mr. Christopher, I’m Owen Roberts, the chief of the police branch in Harmony Village. I’ve always been telling him not to arrest people without solid evidence, but he’s obviously disobedient. I’ll fire him right after I get back. Let me remove those handcuffs for you.” As Owen tried to butter up to Christopher, he had a courteous smile plastered on his face. At once, Shawn paled upon hearing what Owen said. He staggered before he fell to the ground in a sitting position, speechless and regretful. At this moment, he thought that things would not have come to this if he weren’t so arrogant earlier. “Okay then.” Christopher, who had heard Owen’s words, had just nodded and casually agreed to it. When he raised up both his hands that were locked in those handcuffs, Owen immediately brought the key to the cuffs. As he didn’t have any experience in uncuffing people, he was a little overly anxious. Hence, it took him a few seconds before sticking the key into the keyhole and opening the handcuffs. Clack! Upon hearing the sound of the handcuffs being unlocked, Owen heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he offered Christopher an awkward smile before throwing the cuffs onto Shawn’s body. D*mn you for causing me so much trouble! After the handcuff was removed, Christopher used his left hand to give his right wrist a gentle massage. He then looked up at Owen before shifting his gaze to Raymond. Raymond’s heart was already in turmoil when he saw Owen being so respectful toward Christopher, and his shock was evident on his face. Obviously, Christopher had connections to some really powerful figures. At the moment Christopher’s gaze landed on Raymond, Raymond felt like a sharp blade had penetrated through his body. At once, his body trembled and he immediately looked away to avoid eye contact. Now that Owen, who was initially very close to him, no longer wanted to help him, and was even mad at him, he knew that it was a big mistake to mess with Christopher. “Chief Roberts.” Christopher suddenly spoke up. “Yes, Mr. Christopher. What can I help you with?” Owen immediately replied as his body shuddered upon hearing Christopher’s mention of his name. At this moment, Christopher shut his eyes for a brief moment before opening them again. He then took a deep breath before saying, “I heard that Raymond has been collecting a bunch of random fees in this village like marriage management fees, funeral fees, and labor fees. Why have I never heard of such a thing in other villages?” Upon hearing that, Owen glanced at Raymond with his eyes widened before cursing silently. This old fart is so good at lining his pockets! At once, his legs trembled as he was very shocked by the news. “What? I was oblivious of this! This is absurd! This must be reported to the higher-ups so that they will take strict actions against this. He must be punished severely.” At this moment, Christopher looked toward Owen, who had a righteous but angered look on his face. Christopher then thought to himself, This person is a bureaucrat indeed; he’s so fluent in bureaucratese. Meanwhile, Raymond’s face had turned as pale as paper while he stood at the side. Owen could simply ask any villager about this and the person would definitely verify that it was true. In other words, there was no way he could weasel his way out of this. Once the People’s Court or the police branch got involved, he would be doomed. Not only would he be relieved of his post as a village committee, but he might even face even more severe punishments. As he thought of that, he began to regret his decisions. Why did I have to be so unrelenting? Now that I have offended Christopher, it’s too late to change anything! When Raymond was shaking his head in despair, he suddenly noticed Kenny’s presence. At once, a look of joy crossed his face. Right! Kenny is my younger brother, so he will not just stand by and watch! “Kenny, we’re brothers. Can you really bear to watch me get punished by the law? Can you please ask Christopher to put in a good word for me?” He immediately went to Kenny before pleading at him as he tugged on his arm.Christopher did not say a word when he saw that. If his father did not want to see Raymond get punished, then he wouldn't be punished. In fact, Christopher wasn’t really bothered about it; all he cared for was Kenny’s thoughts. Upon hearing that, Owen could roughly guess the relationship between these people. Hence, he’d let things slide if needed. After all, he had to obey Christopher’s wishes in order to keep his job as the chief. Once Kenny heard what Raymond said, he revealed a torn expression. He then took a glance at the villagers by the side. At this moment, his hesitation was replaced with a determined look as he gritted his teeth and shook his head. “No. If I were to help you, I’d let the whole village down. You should accept your punishment for your wrongdoings.” After those words left Kenny’s mouth, Raymond’s face turned even paler. Now, he recalled his evil-doings of taking advantage of the villagers, and regret grew in his heart. He sighed and no longer said anything else. Upon hearing what Kenny said, Christopher turned to look at Owen, and Owen took the signal immediately. After giving Christopher a nod, Owen gave orders to his subordinates. “You guys, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take Raymond in!”The three police officers rushed forward at once the moment they heard the instruction. They quickly pulled Raymond over to put handcuffs on him before stuffing him into the patrol car. After the job was done, Owen asked with a smile, “Mr. Christopher, is there anything else to deal with?”
