Chapter 131: The Mischevious Ember Vance
While Felix Zuck from Yanggu County was returning home to drink, Yusuf Zuck at the Ruiz Family’s residence was also clicking his tongue in amazement. Jerome Hart and his grandfather had come to the capital to provide medical treatment for someone, and they were even brought in by a military aircraft. Yusuf had long noticed that Jerome Hart was no ordinary individual, and if he was extraordinary, then his grandfather must be even more remarkable.
"Well, speaking of the patient, I wonder how the sports car driver from last night is doing, whether they’ve found his family or not. After finishing the conversation with the renovation team, I should go to the hospital to check on him." Yusuf had been busy all day and had forgotten about the person he had saved last night. He didn’t know whether the man had undergone surgery or if his family had been located.
...
While Yusuf was waiting for the renovation team at the new store, there was a community on Garden Road where a community police station was located.
Ember Vance, who could be said to have grown up within the system, was very clear about all the rules and regulations within it.
She knew that if she took Bud Trujillo back to the station, many people would come to plead for him, even the division chief, even her second uncle would come to find her.
So after taking Bud to the hospital for a urine test, she made a detour to the community police station and turned off all mobile phones, including her own.
Interrogating in a different location, she wanted to pry open Bud’s mouth in the shortest amount of time and obtain some of his criminal evidence. Even if there were people coming to intercede for him later, as long as she presented Bud’s criminal evidence, who would dare to plead on his behalf?
Times are not like the early years when communication and networks were underdeveloped; people could get away with shady actions without anyone noticing. Leaders could wave off a sentence with a single word, even release murderers.
Not anymore. The networks are too developed, and the legal system is becoming more and more sound. For the sake of their official hats, those within the system dare not easily pull strings for someone. If the matter is exposed on the internet and public opinion arises, everyone would be trembling with fear.
