The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 149

Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chair comfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain Fuller to do anything against the law. Just let him stay inside for a few more days. He has violated the law after all. We are merely enforcing the law strictly and fairly, don’t you think so, Captain Fuller?” Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant success. Next to his wife, Brian Fuller was a loser. That was his weakness.

Deaton was taken aback and his expression fell. What was Brian doing, waiting for his instructions on such a trivial matter? Thunk! Deaton put his cup down harshly and said somberly, “Brian, do you have to ask me personally about such a small matter? Are you getting confused?” Brian steeled himself and said, “Director Wade, it may be a small matter but haven’t we been trying to crack down this sort of crime recently? I think we can use this case as an example to propagate the matter. The suspect, Philip Clarke, should be punished and sentenced heavily.” Deaton finally realized his objective. He nodded and said impatiently, “That’s fine, handle it on your own. You don’t have to notify me.” Deaton handed the trivial matter to Brian. After getting the order, Brian left the office. However, as soon as Brian walked away, the phone on Deaton’s desk rang. When the call connected, a courteous voice was heard from the other end of the line, “Director Wade, this is Theo Zander.” “Mr. Zander is calling me so late at night. How may I help you?” Deaton knew that Theo was a very influential person. “Director Wade, I won’t beat around the bush. Just tonight, your men arrested a friend of mine. I hope Director Wade can release this person as soon as possible. There has been a misunderstanding,” Theo said firmly, his tone not negotiable. Naturally, Deaton discerned it. He raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, “Mr. Zander, my men wouldn’t arrest someone for no good reason. If your friend really is innocent, we’ll deal with it impartially for sure. Please don’t worry about it.” “I’m willing to trust Director Wade, but this friend of mine… There has to be a misunderstanding. I hope Director Wade can handle it impartially.” The meaning of Theo’s words was very obvious. Deaton furrowed his brows. He was not satisfied with the other party’s attitude. Theo Zander, he had not yet even touched him and he dared to talk to him in such a manner! “Mr. Zander, we’re bound by the law

manner! Over the years, if it were not for Theo’s transformation that made him a well-known entrepreneur that did charitable deeds, Deaton would have arrested him long ago. Nevertheless, Deaton had no evidence to do so. However, Theo now dared speak to him so callously. Who the hell had been arrested? Deaton frowned as he felt uneasiness swallow him. He had a feeling that it was related to the case Brian had just reported to him. Nonetheless, just as he was about to find out personally, his private phone rang. Deaton looked at the display of his phone and immediately felt thrilled. “Hello, Mr. Thomas. It’s my pleasure to hear from you,” Deaton’s tone of voice was full of respect. It was George Thomas, the richest man in Riverdale. Countless people wished to be connected to him. Deaton Wade was no exception. He was the representative of all the entrepreneurs of Riverdale, and

find out the truth as soon as possible and release him without further delay,” George spoke with a polite tone, but it was also one that was indisputable. Deaton was
