Sophia simply smiled. “I don’t think it’s appropriate to refer to me as ‘chief’ before the swearing-in ceremony.”She had only been appointed the West District police chief on paper and approved by the Director-General. Only after the swearing-in would she officially start her duties as chief.“I heard you’re acting as the chief already, so it’s no different. Finally, a woman in police power. Congratulations, Officer Sophia.” Rosalie grinned widely, and Sophia smiled in response.If someone saw them right now, they would think that they were old friends who had been together for a long time.Sophia said politely, “About Officer Tiffany, I apologize on her behalf. We have been trying to catch that Brother K for a very long time, so she must have been stressed about it.”“Since you’re here, I’m not angry anymore. Can we leave now?” Rosalie waved dismissively.Sophia smiled apologetically. “I have to take your statements on the matter. Brother K is a criminal who escaped from prison and

Rosalie stopped the female officer with her hand and said quickly, "He's not one of them."The officer frowned at Rosalie and responded arrogantly, "Don't touch me. I'm not arresting him because he's one of them.""Then why are you arresting him?"Even Elijah frowned slightly and looked keenly at the young woman's face. He recognized her, but he couldn't quite remember where from. But one thing was certain: he hadn't offended the police yet."You! Stay out of my way. If you dare interfere with an ongoing investigation, I'll arrest you too." The female officer warned Rosalie, her expression feisty as she waved her hand.Rosalie gritted her teeth. "Is something wrong with you? You come here and try to do as you like because you are an officer? We are the victims here, not the perpetrators of crimes." She couldn't understand why the police officer was being arrogant and unreasonable."Don't blame me if I arrest you..." she snorted, and laid a hand on Rosalie's, intending to put cuffs

Leader K groaned in pain, feeling gradual cracks in his wrist joint.He couldn't understand how a frail looking person could have such a tight grip that he couldn't break free from.Even Rosalie was surprised to see Elijah step in from behind her.She wanted to pay whatever he owed these people, but didn't expect that they would be shameless and try to act despicably.The other hoodlums were instantly agitated and gripped their clubs tightly in response."You! Let go of Leader K right now!"Leader K gritted his teeth angrily. "Yes—let go of me right now, or don't blame my men for being reckless. We'll beat you until you can no longer walk.""How can a frail-looking kid be this strong?" He winced in pain, secretly struggling to free himself, but Elijah's grip was like an unmoving clamp. If he applied further pressure, the bones in Leader K's wrist might really break completely."Julius, be careful—these people look dangerous," Rosalie whispered in fear from the side. She was aware tha

Elijah raised his hands like a helpless man and said hurriedly, “I didn’t say Wilson Rosenberg sent you. I was only wondering. Isn’t it okay to wonder?”He didn’t know who the bigger fool was in a situation like this.Was it these unprofessional men who hadn’t completed their course in hoodlum tactics and intimidation, or Director Wilson?The Brotherhood Gang and the $2 million recovered were important details that only a few people at the Medical Center knew about. Who else had stolen the credit for everything if not Wilson Rosenberg, who had not the slightest idea how things had been solved?Serena and her secretary didn’t believe his claim, so they couldn’t possibly have sent people after him. Even Vivian Cross was out of the question.Director Wilson was the sole suspect in the matter, with every single piece of evidence pointing back to him. He had sent him out here to be crossed and questioned by this group of hoodlums.Instead of asking him about the truth of the matter or a

Elijah's expression indeed changed slightly upon hearing that they were here for him."Do you have a better vacancy for me?" Elijah simply asked with a raise of his brows.He didn't recall having any altercation with a group of hoodlums today.The leader of the group, who went by the name K, huffed coldly. "Humph! Don't you fear that you'll be crippled today?"He brandished the club in Elijah's line of sight, but Elijah remained calm."I've offended a lot of people, but you are not one of them."If the great families were behind this, then he would truly be ashamed on their behalf, but they didn't even know that he was an apprentice at the Medical Center."You really know how to run your mouth..." One of the hoodlums stepped forward and pointed his club. "You'd better make this easy for us, or don't blame me for beating you to death today."At this moment, Rosalie got out of the car to see what was going on.She was confused and couldn't help but say, "Who are you people? What's the p

Long before their downfall, the Radcliffes were the first family in Brooklyn Heights to build a real pharmaceutical and healthcare system.Back when the four districts still relied on crude clinics and street-corner remedies, they were the ones who opened proper dispensaries and treatment centers, laying the groundwork for the city’s medical world.What made them truly unique was their approach: the Radcliffes were the only enterprise that practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern Western medicine side by side, never favoring one over the other.They treated patients with balance, ancient formulas for the body, modern science for the wounds—earning the trust of both the older generation who preferred TCM, and the rising youth who wanted modern methods.But when the Radcliffe family crumbled fifteen years ago, something else died with it.TCM vanished from Brooklyn Heights with no bold surviving Radcliffe successors, nor guardians of the craft. Those who once practiced the old
