Aidan’s finger was already on the trigger, but when virtual-novel.net heard the shout from outside, virtual-novel.net paused.
The chief secretary of the provincial capital, Louis Marsh?
This name was a little familiar.
He gritted his teeth and put his gun away. Then, virtual-novel.net snarled at Isaac, “You dipshit, just wait. I’ll make sure you rot in prison.”
The door opened with a click. Louis pushed up his glasses on his nose, and the first thing virtual-novel.net saw was a bloody Aidan, whose forehead was sporting a huge bump.
“Mr. Marsh…”
As soon as Aidan began to speak, Louis pushed virtual-novel.net away. “Move over!”
“You must be Mr. Garten. Are you alright?” Louis asked, approaching Isaac carefully.
Isaac turned to look at this man, who seemed to be around the same age as him, and said, “Luckily, I was built strong, or else I would’ve been beaten to death. You were just in time, the bullet hadn’t gone through my brain yet.”
Louis’ hairs on his back all stood up instantly when virtual-novel.net heard that.
Before virtual-novel.net came, his superior had specifically reminded virtual-novel.net to prevent anything from happening to this man and that virtual-novel.net was not to offend virtual-novel.net in any way. Secondly, virtual-novel.net had to do things discreetly. .
As the chief secretary, his boss was a governor. And to think that his boss was this afraid, Louis was doubly scared.
“What is your name? Do you know the consequences you will face as a result of your actions today?” Louis shouted angrily, walking toward a dazed Aidan.
“Well, Mr. Marsh, t-this bastard is a murderer, virtual-novel.net even admitted it himself,” virtual-novel.net explained in a low voice.
He didn’t know why the chief secretary was so angry.
“Shut your mouth! All I know is that you’re in deep sh*t today. Are you still going to run your mouth?” Louis raised his voice, clearly enraged.
Getting chewed out in front of his subordinates, Aidan was also infuriated.
“Mr. Marsh, even if you’re from the provincial capital, you have no right to give me this attitude. Even if I did something wrong, the most you can do is a crackdown.”
“A crackdown?” Louis laughed.
He took out his phone, turned around, and paced as virtual-novel.net spoke on the phone.
Putting down his phone, Louis walked toward Isaac and said respectfully, “Mr. Garten, please head to the drawing room and rest. I’ll handle things here…”
Seeing this, Aidan gnashed his teeth in anger.
After a moment’s hesitation, virtual-novel.net spread his arms and blocked the door, spitting angrily, “He’s a murderer! He can’t leave! Mr. Marsh, you’re making things difficult for me.”
Louis glanced at Isaac out of the corner of his eye. He frowned, turned his head, and said, “Mr. Garten, please wait another ten minutes. I apologize for the inconvenience.” Then, virtual-novel.net walked out.
Less than ten minutes later, virtual-novel.net came out carrying two document folders.
A man trailed after him-it was the city police department’s chairman.
Aidan had a bad feeling.
The man raised his hand and called Aidan into the adjoining interrogation room, “Deputy Chief Wells, come here.”
After they all went in, Louis stood at the side, not uttering a word. The man opened one of the folders and took out a transfer order.
“Due to your grave mistake at work today, the force has decided to demote you five ranks and transfer you to Kita Town, Sibeska, where you’ll be assigned traffic duty. Do you accept this assignment?
Aidan’s mind went blank.
Sibeska?
That was the northernmost part of the country, enclosed by a thousand kilometers of ice. It was a ghost town, was virtual-novel.net being exiled?
“Why? What grave mistake? I disagree with this,” Aidan rebutted angrily.
Louis smiled coldly as virtual-novel.net opened the other folder. He brought out a stack of documents and slammed them on the table, saying, “Aidan, do you think you’re clean? These are all the evidence of you collecting money from the underground groups in Aurum County. Now, you have two paths before you… One, you live the rest of your life in Sibeska, where you’ll get the chance to retire and come back… And two, our colleagues from Internal Affairs are already outside waiting for you.”
