The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 149

Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chair comfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain Fuller to do anything

against the law. Just let him stay inside for a few more days. He has violated the law after all. We are merely enforcing the law

strictly and fairly, don’t you think so, Captain Fuller?” Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant success.

Next to his wife, Brian Fuller was a loser. That was his weakness.

Brian considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Okay.” Ten minutes later, Brian

finished sorting out the documents. He headed to the director’s office, knocked on the door, and

entered the room after getting a response. At the time, Deaton Wade, Director of the Riverdale Law

Enforcement Bureau, was busy handling official matters. He was a good public servant of the people,

working late hours into the night. “Brian, why are you here so late?” Deaton greeted him in a friendly

manner. Holding up his teacup, he blew on it gently before taking a sip. Deaton had a good impression

on Brian. He was a strict and meticulous person; a potential talent. Brian walked in with the documents

in his hand and said, “Director Wade, a few colleagues and I arrested a suspect who molested a

woman tonight. We have completed the investigation and the report is ready. We await further

instructions.” Brian passed the documents to Deaton as he spoke. Deaton was taken aback and his

expression fell. What was Brian doing, waiting for his instructions on such a trivial matter? Thunk!

Deaton put his cup down harshly and said somberly, “Brian, do you have to ask me personally about

such a small matter? Are you getting confused?” Brian steeled himself and said, “Director Wade, it may

be a small matter but haven’t we been trying to crack down this sort of crime recently? I think we can

use this case as an example to propagate the matter. The suspect, Philip Clarke, should be punished

and sentenced heavily.” Deaton finally realized his objective. He nodded and said impatiently, “That’s

fine, handle it on your own. You don’t have to notify me.” Deaton handed the trivial matter to Brian.

After getting the order, Brian left the office. However, as soon as Brian walked away, the phone on

Deaton’s desk rang. When the call connected, a courteous voice was heard from the other end of the

line, “Director Wade, this is Theo Zander.” “Mr. Zander is calling me so late at night. How may I help

you?” Deaton knew that Theo was a very influential person. “Director Wade, I won’t beat around the

bush. Just tonight, your men arrested a friend of mine. I hope Director Wade can release this person as

soon as possible. There has been a misunderstanding,” Theo said firmly, his tone not negotiable.

Naturally, Deaton discerned it. He raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, “Mr. Zander, my men

wouldn’t arrest someone for no good reason. If your friend really is innocent, we’ll deal with it impartially

for sure. Please don’t worry about it.” “I’m willing to trust Director Wade, but this friend of mine… There

has to be a misunderstanding. I hope Director Wade can handle it impartially.” The meaning of Theo’s

words was very obvious. Deaton furrowed his brows. He was not satisfied with the other party’s

attitude. Theo Zander, he had not yet even touched him and he dared to talk to him in such a manner!

“Mr. Zander, we’re bound by the law and evidence. If he really did not do anything, he’ll be released for

sure,” Deaton’s tone was cold as he spoke. “Since Director Wade says so, I’ll trust your words. I hope

you can deal with it as soon as possible.” Slam! The phone was hung up the moment he finished

talking.

Fury stirred in Deaton as he slammed the table! Who the hell was Theo Zander to speak to him in such

a manner! Over the years, if it were not for Theo’s transformation that made him a well-known

entrepreneur that did charitable deeds, Deaton would have arrested him long ago. Nevertheless,

Deaton had no evidence to do so. However, Theo now dared speak to him so callously. Who the hell

had been arrested? Deaton frowned as he felt uneasiness swallow him. He had a feeling that it was

related to the case Brian had just reported to him. Nonetheless, just as he was about to find out

personally, his private phone rang. Deaton looked at the display of his phone and immediately felt

thrilled. “Hello, Mr. Thomas. It’s my pleasure to hear from you,” Deaton’s tone of voice was full of

respect. It was George Thomas, the richest man in Riverdale. Countless people wished to be

connected to him. Deaton Wade was no exception. He was the representative of all the entrepreneurs

of Riverdale, and to a certain extent, the face of Riverdale itself. “Director Wade, I won’t beat around

the bush.

Your men have arrested my young master by mistake. I hope Director Wade can find out the truth as

soon as possible and release him without further delay,” George spoke with a polite tone, but it was

also one that was indisputable. Deaton was truly astounded this time! The… the young master of

George Thomas? My goodness! The richest man in Riverdale had a young master? What sort of

background did the young master have? “Mr.

Thomas, don’t worry, I’ll get someone to check at once. We’ll definitely uncover the facts and evidence related to the matter. It’ll

be dealt with impartially, and I’ll give you an answer in a while.” Deaton dared not be negligent. The matter could not be delayed!

How could there be so many wrong arrests in one night? What the hell were his men doing? Within his panic, Deaton felt anger

as well.
