Everyone else in the meeting room was stunned. They wondered, ‘Who would actually dare to apprehend Stanley and the iing municipal party secretary?

‘Are they crazy? They just offended these two powerful figures all at once!

“Who is in charge of the Northside Precinct?” Connor felt as though his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

Marcus swallowed a mouthful of saliva and timidly raised his hand. The area to the north of the city falls under his jurisdiction.

“Marcus? How could it be you?” Connor looked at Marcus in disbelief. As far as he knew, Marcus was not someone who would make such a mistake; he was known as an honest and upright official.

“I–I’m not sure either,” Marcus said, feeling somewhat guilty. “Maybe my subordinates mishandled things, which led to a mistaken arrest.”

‘How the hell do these idiots get anything done? Isn’t it enough for them to just catch a young girl?‘ Marcus thought.

At that moment, all Marcus could do was pray that those two big shots hadn’t been arrested by his subordinates. If they had, he would be in deep trouble.

A municipal party secretary who had just arrived in Hirica was immediately arrested by his own subordinates. If news of this were to spread, it wouldn’t be considered eptable.

“Marcus, how could you make such a mistake?” Connor frowned, clearly displeased. “Who is the chief of the Northside Precinct?b” /b

“Nn Briggs.” Marcus’s voice trembled slightly.

“Contact him immediately,” Connor instructed his subordinates. “Hurry!”

Nn served at the Northside Precinct as a grassroots officer and was a trusted subordinate personally promoted by Marcus. He was not acquainted with individuals at Stanley’s level.

“Mr. Vale, I can’t get through on the phone.” As Marcus continued speaking, his voice began to tremble involuntarily. ‘What on earth is Nn doing?‘ he thought.

Connor was also anxious, his heart pounding. ‘Whether it is Stanley or Victor, both are extraordinary individuals whom one cannot afford to offend. Who on earth is it?‘ he thought.

Connor mmed his hand on the table. “Get the car ready. We’re heading to the Northside Precinct right now. Marcus, you’reing with me.”

Marcus verbally agreed, but he was extremely afraid inside. He was afraid that after repeated investigations, the focus would eventually turn to him.

The Northside Precinct was ustomed to such actions. With Marcus’s instructions and protection, there was

nothing they wouldn’t dare to do.

Soon, Boris arrived with Nn, the head of the police station.

Nn knew that this girl was being targeted at Marcus’s instigation. He plopped himself down, ignoring everyone else, and made a few sarcastic remarks.

“Youngdy, being attractive is an asset, but you shouldn’t swagger about and swindle people online. Other people’s money is also earned through hard work and sweat.

“Since we have received a report, we are obliged to handle this matter. Ensuring the security of the online environment is a central focus of our work and is very important.”

Nn, a seasoned veteran, knew that being forceful would not work. He held a ss cup, took a sip of coffee, revealed his yellow teeth, and smiled at Olivia.

He said, “You need to learn to be content. You’re only being fined and will be detained for a period of time. Once that’s done, the matter will be over. Don’t fail to recognize what’s good for you.”

Although Nn spoke very politely, the underlying message was straightforward. He wanted Olivia to know better than to defy him and to ept her punishment obediently.

“Do you think I don’t know what’s right and wrong?” Olivia’s gaze sharpened instantly, her voice assertive. “I was simply conducting a regr livestream, yet your subordinates inexplicably detained me.
