Patrick only faintly responded to Hansel’s greeting. He was called here by Hansel in the first place. In fact, he had already agreed with Hansel previously that if he stepped forward and helped Hansel succeed in blackmailing The Serenade, he would get the half of the settlement amount. And that was exactly why Patrick, a Deputy Director of the Complaints Department, would come by so quickly. If it wasn’t for this, with my status, why would I even come down here? Who am I? I am the Deputy Director, for God’s sakes, and I would not be so easily called to places. If it weren’t for the money, dream on! As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the corner of Patrick’s mouth curved into a slight smile. However, Patrick’s smile didn’t last for long. When he saw Christopher, his smile immediately froze and disappeared without a trace. Without much thought, he took out his phone to look for a photo at once. The minute he saw the photo on his phone, panic took over his previously smug face. His palm was sweaty, and he almost lost grip on his phone. Isn't this Christopher Yard? Patrick thought to himself nervously. As a matter of fact, Brian Hughes, the former deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, had once told him that there was a person who had a very good relationship with Director Turner. Although he was not an official, he must not be provoked; otherwise, whoever that provoked him would be in huge trouble. Patrick recalled when he first heard of this man from Brian, he immediately shuddered at the thought of it—someone who was close to Director Turner was someone that he should take note of, so he immediately asked Brian for a picture of Christopher to memorize his look. In fact, Patrick had looked at the picture for so long that he could memorize Christopher’s look by heart. So the moment he saw Christopher, he immediately brought his phone out to compare. Once he had confirmed that this person standing right in front of him was indeed Christopher, Patrick immediately scolded Hansel as an idiot and b*stard in his heart. If he really went against Christopher without even confirming his identity, then not only would Deputy Director Hughes blame him, but Director Turner would too. Then, he would be dead meat. Thinking of this, a ghastly look painted over Patrick’s face. Immediately, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and coldly glanced at Hansel next to him. “Hansel, what’s going on?”At this point, Patrick had immediately shifted his grounds. He obviously did not have the guts to rip Christopher off, so he immediately pointed at the man at the side, who was still laughing with foam on his lips. Hearing that, Hansel assumed that Patrick was really doing what they had planned beforehand. He then hurried forward while looking at Christopher and Luna next to him with a smirk and said, “Deputy Director Cohen, the food in The Serenade is poisonous; it has made my brother go mad. You see—he is still laughing like a crazy person. His lips were purple just now, and his mouth was foaming.” Seeing the situation of the person next to him, Hansel thought he could simply change the plot on the spot, first saying that his brother was poisoned and unable to move, then changing to saying that he had gone mad and foamed at the mouth because of the poison and was still crazy now. Honestly, Hansel even began to admire himself after making up this story. This kind of adaptability and quick-wittedness was not something that anyone possessed. As he finished speaking, he also handed over the so-called hospital certificate and let Patrick look at it. Patrick went speechless the moment he saw this; now, he had no evidence to prove that Hansel was trying to frame The Serenade. Since there was no evidence, there wasn’t much left for him to say; he could only look at Christopher beside him to see he had anything to say. As long as Christopher spoke up, he would then be able to whip something up to get Christopher out of this. Hansel, on the other hand, was so proud of himself that he wanted to laugh out loud. As long as Patrick said there was a problem with The Serenade, it would be useless no matter how much they try to insist otherwise. After all, Patrick worked under the Consumers Association, so his word would be the verdict. Christopher only listened to Hansel’s words with a cold face because the latter had completely angered him. Following that, Christopher didn’t come up with any nonsense but instead walked directly to the side of the man who was now laughing hysterically. Immediately afterwards, he pulled out the needle off the hand of the man who was laughing. The moment the needle was out, the man stopped laughing. He then sat at the side while panting heavily. Before the rest could react in time, Christopher quickly pierced a lot of silver needles into this person. Soon, his complexion gradually turned ruddy, and most of the paleness on his face had faded. “Deputy Minister Cohen, right? Do take a look at this person’s lips and his ruddy complexion—does he look like someone who had been poisoned? Previously, Hansel said that this man was in a coma due to the poisoning and could not even move. However, after you arrived, he said that this person had gone mad because of poisoning. In this case, I really want to know: What is the exact condition of this person now?” Christopher pulled the silver needle out from that person again and said coldly. This person was indeed sick, so his face was naturally pale, but there was not the slightest hint of being poisoned in his complexion. It only took Christopher one glance to figure that out. “I know, right! Hansel Young, did you think we were all blind? This person is not poisoned at all!” “I have already called the police. They will come to arrest you later for fraud!” “Deputy Director Cohen, we can testify that Hansel is deceiving the restaurant by saying that his brother is dead and demanding 500,000 as settlement. We all heard it loud and clear.” When the people next to him heard what Hansel said, they were all filled with righteous indignation as they exclaimed loudly.Hearing this, Patrick’s expression got a little more ghastly than earlier. Now, even if he was a fool, he would be able to tell what happened. Besides, Patrick was not a fool, and he was called here by Hansel himself, so how could he not know what happened? Hansel, who was at the side, didn’t get to see Patrick’s expression. Hearing what the crowd said, his smug look remained unchanged. Did you think Patrick would help you? How ridiculous! he thought to himself. “You are so funny. Did you think Deputy Director Cohen would believe—” Hansel laughed while stretching out his finger to point at their noses as he spoke. However, before he could even finish speaking, he was interrupted by Patrick next to him. “Hansel, enough. You got someone to fake being poisoned and came here to scam people? This is fraud, you know? As you’ve heard, someone has called the police just now, but you still dare to be arrogant. What do you take me for? Huh?” Patrick snorted coldly out of the blue, as he spat coldly without any sympathy in his eyes. Hearing this, Hansel immediately froze. Isn’t Patrick here to help me out? Why is he being this way now? Hansel was confused and stunned for a while, unsure of what to say. All of a sudden, the sound of a police siren rang nearby. A cold-faced beauty got out of the car, and upon understanding the situation, she swiftly obtained the so-called hospital certificate from Hansel. These cold words were quickly spoken from Serene’s mouth. “Someone come and arrest Hansel Young at once!”
