“What?” Even though Jake had anticipated the answer inside his heart, the expression on his face still froze the moment he heard the short man’s words. Looking at his expression, Christopher couldn’t help but say, “I warned you not to do anything that you’ll regret.” … Inside Jake’s office in the Southwest District police station, the previously arrogant and domineering Jake had completely disappeared. At the moment, he became a shivering fat man with a sweaty face as he bowed to the people in front of him. In front of him, Christopher and Noah seemed to be having a conversation. He never expected that a cook like Christopher would have any connection with a big shot like Noah. Before he ordered his men to arrest the former for intentionally hurting someone, he carefully looked into his background and found out that he was just a powerless cook. But why would Noah come here asking for such an ordinary person? Southwest District was Jake’s territory, which meant a chief officer like him was practically the emperor of these lands. However, when compared to Noah, he was nothing. The moment he thought of what he had said and done, the anxiety inside him started to grow exponentially. “Are you saying that not only is Jake protecting the criminal underworld here, but he is also personally involved in human trafficking?” On the other side, Noah asked quietly after hearing Christopher’s description. “That about sums it up.” Christopher nodded his head. “Got it.” At that moment, Noah’s face darkened as he revealed a gloomy expression. When he received the call from Christopher a few hours ago asking him for help, he didn’t think much of it at all. At first, he only thought of it as repaying a favor since Christopher was able to fulfill Mr. Moses’ lifelong wish. However, he never expected that it would involve a chief officer of a police station under his supervision, and he definitely didn’t expect the situation to be this serious. As the chief officer of the Southwest District police station, not only did Jake fail to enforce the law by breaking it himself, he also had a hand in the local human trafficking. The seriousness and despicable nature of the situation far exceeded Noah’s imagination. Under my rule, if there is such a scumbag in Brentwood City’s public security, doesn’t that mean I’ve failed in my duty? Even if Christopher has nothing to do with this, I must cleanse the police force from scumbags like him! “What else do you have to say?” Noah roared coldly at Jake after turning around. “Director Turner, this is all a misunderstanding!” Jake revealed a bitter expression as he murmured, “It is not what you think it is.” “It isn’t what I think it is?” Noah smiled menacingly. “Then what is it? Are you saying that Chris is lying to me?” “No, what I’m saying is that—” Jake was about to explain himself but Noah cut him off directly. “You can stop now. If you want to explain yourself, you can do so to the commission later on!” “Director Turner—” Jake tried again. However, Noah cut him off once more. “This is outrageous! I can’t believe a chief officer like you would commit such a despicable crime. Luckily, Chris just so happens to know me, but what if he doesn’t? What are you planning to do to him? I think that you’ve been in this position for so long that you’ve forgotten your duty. Jake, you really got some nerve!” Noah thundered and it was as if he was sentencing Jake to death. It’s over! It’s all over for me! Suddenly, Jake’s legs turned to jelly and he collapsed onto the floor with a desolate expression. Meanwhile, Christopher felt that the situation was dealt with rather smoothly. Actually, he was a little surprised about Noah’s identity as the director of Brentwood City’s Department of Public Security. He knew that the latter was a big shot, which was why he called him for help, but he didn’t know that his position was this powerful. If Director Turner is the director of the Department of Public Security, goodness knows who Mr. Moses is. Outside the Southwest District police station of Brentwood City, Noah called out to Christopher when he noticed that the latter seemed to be in a daze, “Chris?” It was only then that Christopher came back to his senses. “Yes, Director Turner?” “What are you thinking about?” Noah asked with a smile. “Nothing,” Christopher answered. “I’m just thinking that Jake isn’t the only one who deserves a severe punishment in this situation. In the whole situation, there are also Henry and William, who acted as the middlemen. All of them must be brought to justice.” “You don’t need to worry about that.” Noah smiled. “Naturally, we won’t let people like them, who endanger the safety of people’s lives and property, get away with it that easily.” “Thank you, Director Turner,” Christopher replied. If he can arrest all of these people, Samantha will finally be safe. “There’s no need to thank me!” Noah patted his shoulder. “Alright! Since everything is settled, I have to leave now to take care of some business at the department.” After that, he turned around and walked toward a car with a government license plate which was parked not far away. “Goodbye, Director Turner.” Christopher understood that a man like Noah would have many things to deal with every day, so he waved goodbye without saying anything else. After he left, Christopher immediately called Samantha and told her not to be worried because everything was settled. Then, he called a cab toward The Serenade. In the meantime, it was almost 12 noon yet he hadn’t clocked in to work. He didn’t ask for leave either, which meant that he had skipped work for half a day. Scarlett will definitely use this to scold me again. Knowing that witch’s temperament, she’ll definitely give me a good scolding. At 1.00 PM, Christopher finally arrived at The Serenade. As expected, the moment he stepped into the entrance, Scarlett came rushing toward him and shouted at him angrily, “You’ve skipped half a day’s work. I’m going to fire you!” Upon hearing that, he was rendered speechless. Why does she always want to fire me? However, he didn’t want to argue with her, so he chose to ignore all of her scolding. No matter what she said, he pretended as if it was nothing. After finishing with work that evening, he prepared to go to the hospital because he was still worried about Samantha, but Luna suddenly showed up. “Ms. Sears, is there any problem?” he asked. “Didn’t I promise to treat you to a movie after I’m done with all my work?” She spoke to him in an irrefutable tone. “Yesterday, I went out and finished all my work, so let’s catch a movie today!” After that, she turned around and left without waiting for Christopher’s response. Luna’s actions really match her ‘director personality’. I wonder how strong a man must be to conquer such a woman. It’s so stressful being with her! Fine, it’s just a movie, after all. You’re lucky that you are gorgeously endowed!
