Handling Emily was already a challenge, but throwing Wilbur into the mix was like adding fuel to the fire.Wilbur's face grew even more stormy. "If I hadn't come, you'd have torn the sky apart by now!"Andrew tensed up, trying to keep his cool. "Chairman Robinson, I explained everything over the phone. Give me some time to look into it. If there's truly a misunderstanding, I'll release them for sure."Wilbur wasn't buying it. "I don't have time for your bureaucratic nonsense! I want them released immediately!"Andrew retorted, "As the deputy director of the precinct, it's my duty to apprehend criminals and maintain peace in the area. I see no fault in my actions."Chairman Robinson snapped, "Andrew! I'm warning you again, release them now, or you'll regret it!"Andrew narrowed his eyes, "Chairman Robinson, are you threatening me? Do you realize the consequences of causing a commotion in the precinct?"Wilbur shot back, "I don't care about the conse

The shackles and handcuffs here were custom-made, so strong that even the mightiest strongman couldn't break them. How did this guy manage it?"Nelson, you've really pushed my buttons!"Lucas ripped off the shackles and stalked toward Andrew, step by menacing step."Quick! Pin him down!" Andrew roared immediately.Several burly men, without hesitation, charged at Lucas."Get lost!" Lucas stomped his foot fiercely, unleashing a surge of raw power.The men barely got close before they were hurled back, slamming into the walls with bone-rattling force.In an instant, they were spewing blood uncontrollably."Someone! Get someone here, quick!" Andrew's face blanched with terror as he scrambled to flee.Lucas swung his foot, sending one of the fallen men flying like a human projectile, slamming hard into Andrew.Andrew let out a scream, knocked to the ground."I warned you, don't touch her." Lucas approached slowly, his gaze as cold a

Elijah, known to everyone as "Sting Lizard" due to the phonetic similarity of his name, had long since gotten used to the teasing nickname.Feeling a bit on edge, Elijah had accepted the same amount of gold bars from Harold and knew he had to see this through.After a moment of thought, he realized his only option was to butter up Andrew Jones. “Mr. Jones, Gabriel is just Emily Patel’s boy toy. He doesn’t have any real connections. With your standing, he’s not even worth a second thought.”“Hmph! It better be that way!” Andrew Jones grumbled, his irritation barely concealed. He instructed Dave, “Go tell Emily Patel that our station didn’t arrest the wrong person.”After pocketing Harold's gold bars, he knew he had to deliver. “No matter what, just muddle through for now,” he thought.But as soon as Dave left, Andrew Jones’s phone suddenly rang.“Mr. Robinson?” Seei

Upon hearing this, Tyler's face turned sour, but just as he was about to speak, the brunette planted a kiss on his cheek. "Hey, Tyler, my birthday's just two days away! Why not swing by for some birthday noodles at my place? It's the perfect time to propose to my parents and set a date for our wedding.""What? Getting married so soon?" Tyler's eyes nearly popped out of his head, his face drained of color.Tyler had his sights set on marrying Evelyn; this brunette was merely a side distraction, a means to leverage her connections.She was just a hospital doctor, but her dad's got some serious clout in the police force.The brunette studied him closely. "What’s the matter? Chicken?"Tyler hesitated for a moment, then quickly grinned. "Your dad's legendary. Who wouldn't be shaking in their boots?""Of course, for you, my darling, I'd face a hurricane or walk through flames!""Ha, your sweet talk is something else. So, it's settled then!"Wi

Having weathered the storms of the business world for years, she had naturally heard the tales of Mr. Jones. They said he was a mole, ruthlessly ambitious, and merciless in his methods. Anyone unfortunate enough to fall into his hands, guilty or not, would never have a good outcome. "This spells trouble!"Unlike Evelyn, Gabriel remained unfazed, speaking with a calm demeanor, "Ah, Mr. Jones, the infamous legend himself.""Since you know about me, you should also know my methods. So, I advise you to cooperate obediently. That way, you might just have a chance to walk out of here in one piece!" Mr. Jones lit a Zhonghua cigarette, taking a deep drag.Gabriel stared at him, puzzled, "Mr. Jones, how exactly do you want us to cooperate?""You've stolen someone's valuable items, which should land you in prison. But now, I'm giving you a chance. If you can reach a settlement with the owner, I might let this slide."Gabriel's lips curled into a smirk, "Mr. Jones, you

Evelyn replied urgently, "I'm just his friend!""Hmph! You look just as suspicious. For all I know, you're in on this with him. Take her too!" The deputy chief waved his hand, and two officers stepped forward, cuffing Evelyn.The unexpected twist left everyone frozen in shock.Gabriel frowned and said, "Officer, she's got nothing to do with this. It's all on me."Claire rushed forward, pleading, "Yes, yes! It's Gabriel who's the troublemaker, not my daughter! If you need to arrest someone, arrest him. My daughter is innocent!"Dominic was in a panic, "Officer, my sister's done nothing wrong. You can't punish the innocent!""We'll sort out who's innocent after the investigation. Take them away!" The deputy chief ordered, and the two were promptly escorted to the police car."Wait!"Tyler stepped forward, saying assertively, "I'm Mayor Nelson's son. Cut me some slack and let my girlfriend go.""Mayor Nelson's son?" The deputy chief scrutini
