281: Chapter 288: Captured 281: Chapter 288: Captured The police officers were all wearing stern expressions now, and one of them shouted loudly: “By doing this you’re obstructing our enforcent of the law.
If you don’t disperse, I’ll take you all away.”
Jas Brown didn’t want to get others involved and imdiately said, “Colleagues, you don’t need to stop them, I, Jas Brown, have not broken any laws.
I will go with them, explain everything clearly, and then I’ll be back.”
Everyone imdiately quieted down, while Sarah Utah looked very worried as she said, “Big Brother Brown, will you really be alright?”
“Of course, I’ll be fine.
When I co back, you owe a al.”
Tears suddenly stread down Sarah Utah’s eyes, then she nodded vigorously and said, “Big Brother Brown, no matter when you co out, I will definitely treat you to a al, whatever you want to treat you to.”
Jas Brown broke into a sweat nervously at Sarah Utah’s words—it sounded as if Jas Brown would definitely not be released.
But Jas Brown didn’t quibble with her about it.
He waved his hand, smiled, and walked outside with the police.
The police officers secretly scoffed at Jas Brown, believing he was dreaming to think he could co out quickly after offending Christopher Taylor, but since Jas Brown was cooperating, they were happy to let him maintain his illusion.
“Big Brother Brown!” Sarah Utah suddenly shouted loudly, and Jas Brown imdiately paused his steps and turned to look at Sarah Utah.
Sarah Utah dashed over unexpectedly, catching the police unprepared, rushing to Jas Brown.
She hugged Jas Brown’s waist tightly, lifted her head to look into his eyes with a choked but resolute voice, she said, “Big Brother Brown, no matter when, I will wait for you!”
The police who were about to separate Sarah Utah stopped in their tracks upon hearing her heartfelt words.
All the employees on the fourth floor were moved by Sarah Utah’s emotional words, with a few of the female colleagues even uncontrollably starting to cry.
At this mont, Jas Brown was a bit stunned; he never expected Sarah Utah to confess her feelings at this ti.
It was so unexpected and her sincere confession genuinely moved Jas Brown, even weighing heavily on his heart.
He could ignore the affections of Gina Lopez and Grace Lopez, the twins, but at this mont, her resolute confession was sothing he couldn’t just brush off.
“Sarah Utah, rest assured, I’ll treat you to a al tonight.
Don’t lose faith in .”
Sarah Utah nodded vigorously, sobbing, “I will.
I will keep waiting for you.”
Gina Lopez and Sunny Nguyen, after hearing the news that the police had co to the company, rushed over and happened to hear Sarah Utah’s conversation with Jas Brown.
Both were deeply shocked.
Neither of them expected Sarah Utah to have such deep feelings for Jas Brown—feelings so profound that it made them feel ashad.
Sunny Nguyen was sowhat better off, as her relationship with Jas Brown was more desire than affection, but Gina Lopez was gradually developing feelings for Jas Brown.
Sarah Utah’s confession forced her to introspect deeply.
At this mont, Sarah Utah had let go of Jas Brown, and as he began walking towards the stairwell with the police, Gina Lopez imdiately intercepted them, her voice grave, “I’m the general manager of this company.
May I ask why you are taking my employee?”
The police handed the arrest warrant to Gina Lopez, saying, “This is our arrest warrant.
Jas Brown is suspected of assault.
It’s a personal cri, not a work-related cri, so it has nothing to do with your company.
Please do not obstruct us from performing our duties.”
After taking one look at the arrest warrant, Gina Lopez knew she couldn’t stop them from taking Jas Brown, but she still said, “I won’t obstruct you from carrying out your duties, but as a leader of the company, I need to understand the full details of the case.”
“You better hire a lawyer then, or go to the sub-bureau to find out.”
Before being taken away, Jas Brown said to Gina Lopez, “Christopher Taylor.”
Gina Lopez froze for a mont, then quickly grasped the situation.
This was surely Christopher Taylor seeking revenge, and with her status, it was clear she wasn’t influential enough to make Christopher Taylor release Jas Brown.
But now with Linda Campbell around, who was much more influential, they had nothing to fear from Christopher Taylor.
She imdiately pulled out her phone and called Linda Campbell.
Jas Brown was taken to the sub-bureau in a police car, while Sarah Utah and Sunny Nguyen followed, but Gina Lopez couldn’t leave at this ti.
An incident such as this had occurred in the company, and she needed to stabilize the situation within the company to prevent spreading rumors and affecting employee morale.
However, Gina Lopez had already made a call to Linda Campbell.
Since Christopher Taylor had influential connections, then they would turn to Linda Campbell, soone with even greater influence.
She was quite indignant towards soone like Christopher Taylor.
Yet when Sarah Utah and Sunny Nguyen arrived at the sub-bureau, they were imdiately barred entry.
It wasn’t that the Public Security Bureau didn’t allow them inside, but the interrogation room was off-limits, leaving them in the dark about what was happening within.
This left both of them anxious; there shouldn’t be any torture tactics for interrogation, but the circumstances surrounding Jas Brown’s arrest were suspicious.
Gina Lopez had even inford Sunny Nguyen that soone was retaliating against Jas Brown, so they simply couldn’t believe that Jas Brown would not be physically mistreated inside.
“Director Green, what should we do now?” Sarah Utah paced back and forth in the hallway, anxious, unable to sit still or stand calmly.
Sunny Nguyen was also feeling the urgency, but at that mont she tried to stay calm and said, “All we can do now is wait.
Mr.
Lopez has gone to look for soone.
It shouldn’t take long to get Jas Brown out.”
“But it’s been a while since they took him in,” Sarah said anxiously, “I’m really worried those police will beat up Big Brother Brown.”
Sunny Nguyen sighed and said, “I know, but this is the Public Security Bureau, we can’t just barge in.
No matter what, we have to wait.”
Tears suddenly stread down Sarah’s face as she choked up, “Big Brother Brown…” She couldn’t continue speaking at the thought of Jas being beaten, and just sobbed softly.
Sunny Nguyen had never realized how deeply Sarah cared for Jas, but at this ti, she did not feel a trace of jealousy.
The way Sarah defended Jas before, Sunny had seen it all, and she admired such a girl who dared to love.
Just then, Sunny Nguyen saw a female officer walking in and she felt a sense of familiarity.
Suddenly, she rembered that this officer was Helen Wilson, who had also noticed Sunny Nguyen and Sarah, and quickly walked over, asking, “Sarah, what are you doing here?”
As soon as Sarah saw Helen Wilson, she felt she saw a savior and imdiately grabbed Helen’s arm, pleading urgently, “Helen, it’s terrible.
Jas has been taken here.
You have to save him.”
Helen Wilson was shocked and asked hurriedly, “What happened?
How did he get taken here?”
The first thing she thought of was that there was a problem with the goods Jas had smuggled, but then she realized it didn’t add up.
The goods were handed off in YODC City; even if there was trouble, it shouldn’t have resulted in his arrest here.
So, it might be that their smuggling investigation had been discovered.
As an officer, she couldn’t be touched yet, so they were targeting Jas first.
So Helen Wilson seed even more anxious than Sarah.
Choking up, Sarah said, “I don’t know what happened either.
It was just this morning that police ca to the company and took Big Brother Brown, saying he was suspected of intentional injury.”
Helen Wilson frowned.
Intentional injury seed unrelated to their situation.
Could it be that Jas had gotten into so trouble over the past few days and beaten soone up?
It was likely for him to get into a fight, she thought, as he wasn’t the type to stay out of trouble.
But no matter what, Jas was too important to her at this mont, and she had to get him out by any ans necessary.
Moreover, this jerk had been involved with her, and out of a subtle psychology, Helen Wilson felt obliged to protect Jas.
“Wait here, I’ll go in and check,” Helen said.
Helen Wilson was not from this subdivision, but she was here because her office had a case that required cooperation with Q County’s subdivision.
However, since they were all part of the Public Security System, they would normally show so courtesy.
If Jas’s issue was not serious, she was confident she could get him released.
Helen Wilson didn’t try to enter the interrogation room.
First, she couldn’t directly interfere with the case here, and second, she didn’t anticipate that the officers here would practice torture during interrogation.
So she went straight to the office of a deputy director of this branch, whom she had t twice before and was here to liaise with.
“Good to see you, Chief W,” Helen Wilson greeted as she entered the deputy director’s office.
Chief W had a square face and looked spirited and imposing—very much the image of a police officer.
Chief W had a good impression of Helen Wilson, this young female officer who was ambitious and had solved two major cases.
Despite being a deputy director of a subdivision, he treated Helen very courteously and smiled, “Little Lin, co in and have a seat, I was just waiting for you.”
After quickly discussing work-related matters, Helen Wilson swiftly turned the conversation to Jas, saying, “Director W, I have a friend nad Jas Brown, he works at J Corporation.
He was taken in by your subdivision today, and I don’t know what for?”
Chief W imdiately frowned, looking sowhat displeased, “This order ca directly from the higher-ups.”
“From the higher-ups?
Is it that serious?” Helen Wilson tensed, fearing that it was related to the case she was investigating.
Chief W sighed and said, “Little Lin, are you very close with this Jas Brown?
If not, I think you better not get involved.”
Helen Wilson replied urgently, “We’re very close.
No matter what, I need to deal with his situation.”
Chief W looked at Helen with a puzzled expression, then gave a bitter smile and said, “Little Lin, don’t tell he’s your boyfriend?”
Helen Wilson bit her lip and said, “Yep, he’s my boyfriend.”
