Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1405: You... Don't know?

[Station Commander's Office]

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

The station commander loosened his tie as he kept smacking the two officers and Detective Lander on the head without stopping. If not for his rising blood pressure and his age, he would've continued.

"Do you three have any idea what you've just done?!" he bellowed, his voice echoing through the office. "Ugh! I swear, I'd keep smacking you senseless-you almost cost not just your jobs, but mine as well! How could you make an arrest like this without consulting me first? Have you all lost your damn minds?!"

The two officers kept their heads down, while the detective remained defiant, keeping his head raised.

"Chief, we were just questioning Miss Miller, but she was being aggressive," the detective defended himself. "If she had just answered our questions without freaking out, we wouldn't have been forced to cuff her-"

SMACK!

Before the detective could finish his sentence, another slap landed on his head.

"Sir, this isn't fair!" The officer, who had already endured the brunt of the smacks earlier, finally spoke up. "That woman assaulted me inside the station! How can you just let that slide? Even if that lawyer sues us, are we seriously going to let these rich people walk all over us—"

"Hah! And you're the one talking about being on the elite's payroll?" The station commander glared at them, his fury only intensifying. "Forget getting sued-you just put all our careers on the line! And that's the best outcome we can hope for. If this escalates, there could be a full-blown investigation into this station. Do you think I don't know about the shady business you've been involved in?"

He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a migraine coming on. "That woman you want to be arrested for smacking you? You're lucky she only smacked you after you detained her people and arresting them from inside her own company- and for a ridiculous reason! Do you have any idea who her brother is? Or the kind of people she's connected with?"

The commander scoffed before continuing, "Her brother is the Lieutenant General. And if you think this agency is outside his jurisdiction, guess what? The Chief of Police is just one phone call away from him. If they find out you arrested someone without probable cause, do you really think you'll keep your jobs?"

Silence.
