Chapter 600: Chapter 619: County Magistrate Johnson Arrives
“Yes! He’s the one who beat us, Mr. Lewis. Hurry up and get a couple of police officers to arrest him. Damn, he beat us up so badly.” John Robinson was extrely angry at this mont, and shouted loudly.
“What exactly happened?” Mr. Lewis frowned, then turned to glance at the few people not far away, speaking very cautiously.
John Robinson was really frustrated at this point, so he didn’t see those people, and said to Mr. Lewis, “This guy is acting all cocky with . Damn, just a lousy security guard. This ti, I’m going to ruin him!”
“John, you are a governnt official, you can’t just act recklessly,” Mr. Lewis reminded John Robinson again.
Lily Joe snorted and said, “Just a tiny, pathetic security guard. If we don’t ruin him this ti, do we even have any face left?”
John Robinson also added, “Hmph, if you’re not comfortable doing it, then I’ll just go find soone myself.” Saying that, he picked up the phone and directly dialed a police station chief in Q County, “Chief Carter, there’s a situation here, I got beaten… Yes, send people right away to arrest this guy. Don’t worry; my dad is backing , nothing will go wrong.”
While John Robinson was on the phone, Mr. Lewis kept giving him eye signals, but John Robinson didn’t even notice. After finishing the call, he imdiately said to John Brown, “Kid, you’ll soon find out what happens when you hit .”
John Brown smiled and said, “And what will happen?”
“Hmph, you’ll see soon enough. Once you’re in the station, let’s see how cocky you still are.”
“Does Public Security Bureau belong to your family?” a woman’s voice ca from behind. Although the voice was not loud, it carried an air of authority and anger.
“Nonsense!” Lily Joe angrily turned around, seeing several n surrounding a woman standing behind them. The woman was very pretty, probably about her age, and upon seeing such a beautiful woman, Lily Joe imdiately felt displeased. She couldn’t stand others being prettier than her, so she spoke with a bad tone, “What’s it got to do with you? Go cool off sowhere else, or I might just get you arrested too.”
“Fine, I’d love to see who can co and arrest ,” the pretty woman said coldly.
John Robinson had already turned his head, looking at the woman, and felt his heart skip a beat. He hurriedly pulled Lily Joe aside and said anxiously, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Upon hearing this, Lily Joe beca angry and said sharply, “You vixen, are you trying to seduce my husband? Don’t think that having a pretty face makes you anything special. I’m telling you, if you really piss off, I’ll have you arrested and thrown into the sea.”
John Robinson flung Lily Joe aside and, with a smile, said to the pretty woman, “County Magistrate Johnson, why are you here?”
The pretty woman was none other than lody Yoody. They weren’t in Q County, but after the eting today, everyone just happened to co here for a walk, unexpectedly encountering such a situation.
lody Yoody is usually quite principled in her work, but when it cos to John Brown, she would definitely favor family over reason. Moreover, John Robinson was being so arrogant, publicly calling upon police to help settle personal vendettas, a major taboo.
“Hmph, you’re sothing, aren’t you? The Public Security Bureau is your family’s now,” lody Yoody snorted again.
“No, no…” Sweat imdiately began to form on John Robinson’s forehead. His father was rely a deputy director of the county’s construction bureau, while lody Yoody was a Deputy County Chief. His father could dream of reaching lody Yoody’s position for a lifeti, but it would never happen. In front of ordinary people, his father’s deputy director position held influence, but in front of lody Yoody, it was nothing.
“Am I deaf?” lody Yoody’s tone grew even harsher.
Lily Joe, upon realizing this pretty woman was the Deputy County Chief, was scared stiff. Her family business was in Q County, and if she offended this Deputy County Chief, it would be disastrous. She shrank timidly behind John Robinson.
John Robinson wiped the sweat off his brow and stamred, “County Magistrate Johnson, this… this was my mistake.”
“Hmph, Director Smith, investigate for later. Who’s giving him such courage, and who allows him to recklessly use state power against the public? I want a detailed report.”
A nearby person, whose face was dark, imdiately agreed, while John Robinson was so shaken he collapsed to the ground. This Director Smith was the chief of the Integrity Departnt in Q County, notoriously difficult to deal with. He had been sowhat restrained while working within the county, but now, under lody Yoody’s supervision, he dared to act. Rumor had it he had already investigated several people; if this falls into his hands, both he and his father are in for a tough ti.
The onlooking crowd at this mont applauded enthusiastically. This was the kind of leadership the people loved to see; handling things in such a way was deeply satisfying.
“Alright, you can go now. I want to walk around by myself for a bit.” lody Yoody waved her hand, and those people instantly left. Although lody Yoody was just a Deputy County Chief, her prestige within the county was extrely high. Rising from a Mayor to a Deputy County Chief so quickly, and being so young, anyone with vision could see that lody Yoody had a bright future ahead. Maintaining good relations with her could be very beneficial for them in the future.
John Brown didn’t talk to lody Yoody. At such a mont, it was the ti for lody Yoody to establish her prestige. If others knew that lody Yoody knew him, that prestige would be discounted. So he left with Sarah Utah and Jessica Wilson.
At this mont, Boss Qian caught up and said to Jessica Wilson, “Jessica, I was trying to fool those two people earlier. Why don’t you co back to work for ?”
Jessica Wilson snorted and said, “Sorry, Boss Qian, don’t hire anyone. I can’t serve a boss like you.”
Boss Qian hurriedly said, “Co on, I’ll give you a raise. How about three thousand a month?” Jessica Wilson’s previous salary was only one thousand six hundred a month, so this was almost double.
“Sorry, even though I, Jessica Wilson, am short of money, I have my ambitions. You treated like that back then. No matter what, I can’t work for you anymore. Goodbye.”
Boss Qian was even more upset as he saw Jessica Wilson completely disagreeing. If Jessica Wilson ca back to work for him, maybe he could bring John Brown, a major client, over. Now it was all for nothing; not a single business deal was made.
Jessica Wilson was truly excited at this ti and eagerly said to Sarah Utah, “Sarah, now I see you really have a keen eye. Your boyfriend is truly amazing.”
Sarah Utah was genuinely very proud but still glanced at John Brown and softly said, “No, Big Brother Brown is really not my boyfriend.”
“Lisa Smith, why keep it a secret from ? I really have to thank you guys today. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?”
Sarah Utah looked at John Brown, who apologetically said, “Sorry, I have to go ho and cook dinner for my wife tonight.”
“Ah, your wife? You’re already married?” Jessica Wilson suddenly widened her eyes.
John Brown smiled slightly and said, “Yes.”
Jessica Wilson looked at Sarah Utah, who also smiled slightly and said, “I told you before that we don’t have that kind of relationship. We’re just colleagues, friends. Big Brother Brown’s wife is truly excellent, much better than .”
Jessica Wilson twisted her mouth. She still noticed that Sarah Utah had those feelings for John Brown. She should advise Sarah not to fall too deeply.
The three of them turned the corner, and just as John Brown was about to get the car, soone walked over and said, “You scoundrel, you’re really enjoying yourself.” It was lody Yoody who ca.
Sarah Utah imdiately sweetly smiled at lody Yoody and said, “Sister Smith, thank you so much earlier.”
lody Yoody really had no hostility toward Sarah Utah either and smiled back at her, saying, “Why thank ? It’s just cleaning up the trouble this scoundrel caused.”
Jessica Wilson was dumbfounded as she looked at lody Yoody. She was completely captivated by lody Yoody’s deanor earlier, but now this County Magistrate Johnson was speaking to John Brown like this, stuttering, “You… you are his wife?”
lody Yoody imdiately turned her gaze to John Brown, waiting for his response.
John Brown chuckled, put his arm around lody Yoody’s waist, and said, “Wife, let introduce you. This is Sarah Utah’s classmate Jessica Wilson. Jessica Wilson, this is my wife lody Yoody.”
Jessica Wilson quickly reached out her hand, blushing, and shyly said, “Hello, County Magistrate Johnson.”
At this ti, lody Yoody was very satisfied. If John Brown had said she wasn’t his wife at this mont, it would certainly not end well for him. She shook hands with Jessica Wilson and said with a smile, “Hello, I’m also quite familiar with Sarah Utah. No need to be formal with , just call by my na.”
“Mm-hmm,” Jessica Wilson was even more excited. When her father was in office, he liked to be pretentious. And most of the officials she knew also liked to put on airs, but a county magistrate like lody Yoody, who was so approachable, truly gave her a different feeling.
lody Yoody then said to Sarah Utah, “Sarah Utah, I have so matters to discuss with Jas. We’ll head off first.”
Sarah Utah imdiately said, “Okay, you go ahead. I’ll head back to the company on my own.”
After John Brown and lody Yoody left, Sarah Utah couldn’t help but sigh. When she saw lody Yoody and John Brown together, she wondered if she could be with John Brown too if she was like lody Yoody, even if it ant being an unacknowledged lover.
