Chapter 177: Yusuf Zuck’s Backer
Yusuf Zuck had always said, in this world, there was no such thing as fairness.
Bud Trujillo was experiencing that unfairness right now, the testimony of socialites and business tycoons had all confirmed a gang of small-time thugs were collecting protection fees, and the reason the gang leader got beaten was that the store owner knew martial arts.
There was no helping it, the store owner knew martial arts, and the thugs couldn’t withstand it. There were witness testimonies, and with Ember Vance, a relative, on their side, the statement was quickly completed, Bud Trujillo was also sent to the hospital, and the other lowlifes were collectively taken back to the station. Ember Vance’s order to her colleagues was to dig deep, thoroughly investigate these social scums.
As Bud Trujillo was being carried out, he was slightly regaining consciousness, but when he saw Ember Vance in her high heels walking towards him, he fainted again. Enemies often cross paths; he was now most afraid of Ember Vance, even his family had warned him to stay away from that woman with the surname Vance, never to offend her again, as she had some of his criminal evidence in her grasp.
The last time they didn’t pursue charges, it was a compromise on all sides, so if you offended her again, she wouldn’t give you any face.
So Bud Trujillo was scared faint.
Ember Vance, this girl, was particularly shrewd; while others were taking statements from Everest Zuck and the others, she took the initiative to record Miles O’Brien’s statement, asking her name, age, why she was there, and even the relationship with the store’s owner Yusuf Zuck, inquiring about everything in great detail.
However, Miles O’Brien was also clever, merely claiming to be the Chief Antique Appraiser of a prestigious gallery because she had a certification; she said nothing more about anything else.
