Chapter 229 Noah in Action

When Christopher was caught, Jefferey immediately informed Noah without any hesitation despite knowing that he might be scolded again, and Noah, who was having a meeting at that time, was enraged when he heard that Christopher had been arrested by Jim without a reason. As the Director of the Department of Public Security of Brentwood City, his Deputy Director actually arrested his daughter’s savior right under his nose for the sake of a woman—his act was no different from slapping him in his face. If Christopher had committed a crime, he would have nothing to say about it. However, according to Jefferey and Harold, Christopher had been arrested although he had done nothing wrong, which was exactly why Noah couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. Therefore, upon hearing this news, he couldn’t hold back himself and immediately ended the meeting before rushing toward the police station where Walter was, as he was clear about the relationship between Walter and Jim. After Jim had caught Christopher, the place that he most likely would go would probably be Walter’s territory; he reckoned that the police force that Jim had used at that time belonged to Walter as well.In order to head over to rescue Christopher, Noah drove his car at the maximum speed allowed on the highway, and he even went way beyond that when there was no car around. Thus, he was able to reach the place where Walter was in time. Noah, who was wearing spectacles, arrived at the entrance and barged into the place. Meanwhile, Jefferey followed the former from behind and he wore a sneer as he entered through the door. Behind him were the police officers that he had brought along from his police station. When Jim saw Noah, a hint of fluster appeared on his face as he quickly put down his legs from the counter and went up to Noah. He had arrested Christopher for the sake of Lilian, so he hadn’t thought of what crime to accuse him of. His eyes darted around as a million thoughts instantly flashed across his mind, then he seemed to have figured out an excuse. He asked Lilian to come over to him before he quickly blurted out the excuse that he had managed to come up with, “Director Turner, Christopher ordered the police officer to hit Miss Queen—this lady beside me here—in public, which I think can be considered as a deliberate assault. I don’t think that it’s too much to arrest him, yes?” Wearing a rather pitiful expression, Lilian let out a sigh and said, “Yes, Director Turner. Christopher has taken it too far. As a citizen himself, how could he order a police officer to hit me? He must have colluded with the police. You have to investigate this matter thoroughly!” Upon hearing their words, Jefferey, who was beside them, was infuriated. He quickly stepped out from behind Noah and walked up to Walter before he scoffed. “Walter, what do you mean by this? Christopher is part of our team from the Southwest District, so his matter is none of your business. Also, you didn’t even inform me when you arrested him. Aren’t you acting too cocky here?” Jefferey naturally dared not reprimand Jim, but he wasn’t afraid of Walter at all since both Walter and him were chiefs of police stations. Although what he said seemed to insinuate about someone else, he was completely fearless with Noah beside him. When Walter heard that, his expression instantly darkened as he gritted his teeth and dared not say a word. On the other hand, when Jim heard Jefferey’s words, he narrowed his eyes slightly. A hint of dangerous gleam flashed across his eyes, but he soon returned to his usual self and let out a faint smile. “Director Turner, Christopher was too arrogant. Since he is here in the Southeast District, I have no choice but to arrest him here. Moreover, he refused to obey the orders, which left me no choice but to use an electric prod on him,” Jim nonchalantly replied as he cast a glance at Christopher beside and shrugged. In this regard, Noah, who had been quiet since he had arrived, took a step forward. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he murmured, “Now that Jefferey and I are here, I believe that you will hand Christopher to me, then?” Jim widened his eyes and tightly clenched his fists at that moment. A conflicted expression appeared on his face before he revealed a smile and answered, “Of course! It is not quite right for Walter to meddle with the affair of the Southwest District, anyway. Return Christopher’s phone to him.” Upon hearing this, Jefferey did not hesitate before he directly instructed the police officer next to him to carry the fainted Christopher and returned him his phone as well. After that, Noah left without saying a word. As the Deputy Director of the Department of Public Security, Jim had always been at odds with Noah and he even had the intention to kick the latter out of office. Even so, Noah had no way to deal with Jim without any solid evidence. After Noah had left, Lilian approached Jim from the side and said, “Deputy Director, are you going to let Christopher go just like that? We have barely made him unconscious with the electric prod!”“I didn’t expect him to have Noah supporting him from behind. Don’t worry, there are other people who will take action on him even if we do nothing. I reckon that the Kelley Family won’t just sit back and watch!” Jim scoffed as his lips curved upward. … After Noah and the others had rescued Christopher, they hurriedly sent him to the nearest hospital at Southeast District for a body check-up for fear that Jim might have done something to him. After some time, Christopher opened his eyes and saw Jefferey beside him. His head felt heavy, so he shook his head hard while a puzzled look appeared on his face. Upon seeing that Christopher had regained his consciousness, Jefferey filled him in on what had happened before. Then, Christopher nodded. Soon, he seemed to remember something, which caused his expression to tremendously change and he abruptly reached into his pocket. When he saw that he still had his phone with him, he felt relieved. After that, his expression soon darkened. Jim and Lilian have really angered me this time! Lilian had been trying to harm him more than once. She was unfazed by the fact that Christopher had saved her father’s life when he had been ill and insisted on going against him. Therefore, Christopher had no intention of letting a woman like her off the hook. Jim, on the other hand, actually had his men use electric prods on Christopher, which was something that the latter would never forget. “Has Director Turner gone back? Help me to thank him on my behalf. I have some business to deal with right now,” Christopher muttered. He felt that his body had almost fully recovered after he regained his consciousness—this might be due to the Bone Broth Detox Soup, which had made his body a little different from others. Knowing that Christopher was someone important, the nurse beside them immediately helped him to sit up upon seeing that he had woken up. Just then, his phone rang again. “Hello, is this Divine Doctor Yard? I found something about the man behind Callum.”
