The Supreme Soldier in the City

Williams now flashed a strained smile and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m just enforcing the law impartially."

Susan Will sneered coldly, "Impartial law enforcement, you say? I’ll make sure to have a word with our Mr. Scott about this. Your so-called impartial law enforcement has come down on my son."

James Johnson, offended by Susan Will’s mocking and righteous indignation, felt annoyed. If it were John Smith talking to him like that, it would be one thing, but Susan Will was merely John Smith’s wife. What right did she have to talk to him this way? Besides, Williams had come on direct orders from the Director himself, so he felt quite confident. With a faint smile, he said, "I will report this matter to Mr. Shaw and the Director."

"So what you mean is, you’re going to let the person who hit my son walk free now?" Susan Will’s tone grew even more hostile.

James Johnson still wore a smile, "Indeed, the fault does not lie with the other party, so of course, they should be released."

"Very well!" Susan Will laughed out of sheer anger, "Well then, I must talk to our Mr. Scott about this." As she spoke, she pulled out her phone.

At this point, James Johnson’s expression remained calm, while Susan Will began to rant loudly into the phone: "Mr. Scott, I see your position as Deputy Director is becoming increasingly worthless. Your son has been hit at the police station, and Director James Johnson is going to let the culprit go... If our own son gets beaten to death, don’t you care? Good!"

Having said that, and with a triumphant stretch of her hand, Susan Will said to James Johnson, "Our Mr. Scott wants to speak to you."

James Johnson took the phone but turned and walked out, closing the door behind him. Only when he was alone in the hallway did he answer the call.

"Mr. Wilson, what’s going on?" The voice of John Smith came through the phone, sounding as though he was about to demand accountability.

James Johnson immediately said, "Mr. Shaw, it’s not that I don’t respect you, but I was personally instructed by the Director to handle this."
