Chapter 665: Chapter 703: Heroic Deeds
When Brother Blackjack was arrested, there were not only a large number of police officers but also a team of news reporters. This was a golden opportunity to salvage the reputation of the YODC City police force. The bureau chief, where Helen Wilson worked, decisively contacted the city television station after consulting with the T District chief. They successfully captured the footage of Brother Blackjack’s arrest, even filming his surprise as he crawled out of the hole with perfect clarity.
Blackjack initially thought that the police had no evidence against him and didn’t resist arrest, loudly proclaiming his innocence. But when he saw those extrely well-hidden ledgers being brought out, he collapsed to the ground. No matter how glorious or fierce he had been in the past, he realized he was finished. Given his cris, even ten deaths wouldn’t be enough.
In the security room of J Corporation, Jack Carter and several others were shouting in excitent. Yesterday, they were all on edge, fearing Blackjack would co after them. But there was no sign of him yesterday, and today, they anxiously ca to work, only to see the shocking news on TV.
John Davis, hugging John Brown’s arm, laughed happily: “Haha, Manager Johnson, you were spot on; Blackjack has really been arrested. We no longer have to worry about him seeking revenge.”
Qian Laoshi was the most excited at this mont. He had elderly parents and young children to care for and was the pillar of his family. If sothing happened to him, his family would be dood. So, he was the most worried yesterday, sprouting a few more gray hairs. Now that he knew Blackjack wouldn’t seek revenge, it was truly a great relief.
Of course, no one was happier than Jack Carter. The main reason he couldn’t stand up to Henry Forman was Blackjack’s existence. Now that Blackjack had fallen, even if Henry Forman didn’t follow suit, he would have lost a crucial support. At least Jack wouldn’t have to fear him as much.
“Manager Johnson, was it you who orchestrated Blackjack’s downfall?” Qian Laoshi suddenly asked.
John Davis quickly replied, “Old Qian, you have quite the imagination. If our Manager Johnson had such capabilities, would he still be working as a security manager here?”
Qian Laoshi chuckled, “True, but Manager Johnson, you did say that Blackjack wasn’t scary, that no matter how tough he was, he couldn’t be stronger than the police. And now, he’s been caught by police.”
John Brown blinked and said, “Don’t forget, there’s sothing called insider information.”
“Oh…” Everyone stretched their voices in unison, looking as if they understood. They naturally assud John Brown had received inside information beforehand, but due to the sensitive nature of capturing Blackjack, he didn’t dare to say anything.
Qian Laoshi looked wise and said, “No wonder, even with Blackjack being so fierce, you dared to go against him a few days ago. Turns out, you knew he was going down. Manager Johnson, you’re incredible.”
John Brown laughed and said, “Old Qian is indeed smart.”
Today, there were several security guards on duty who weren’t there that day. As they listened to the storytelling, they beca more and more curious and started asking questions.
Imdiately, Qian Laoshi, John Davis, and the two other guards who were there that day beca energized, enthusiastically embellishing the day’s events. The listening security guards were flabbergasted, wanting to doubt the story’s authenticity, but with John Brown present, it seed to have credence.
John Davis swung a punch and said, “You guys don’t know, but that day, I was super fierce. I punched a guy who was over six feet tall and over two hundred pounds, and his face blood like a flower.”
Another security guard said, “My kick was even mightier; it sent the opponent flying off the ground and knocked over the person behind him.”
Qian Laoshi sniffed and said, “You call that impressive? Our Manager Johnson fought six dagger-wielding thugs alone and took them all down in less than half a minute. That’s truly impressive.”
John Davis and the others nodded repeatedly, “Indeed, if we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes, we would’ve thought it was from a movie. Manager Johnson is amazing.”
The few security guards who hadn’t been there looked at John Brown in awe, knowing they were just ex-soldiers with so combat skills and slightly more robust bodies, capable of outdoing average people. But the idea of fighting multiple ard opponents alone seed far-fetched to them.
Seeing their disbelief, John Davis and the others grew frustrated, repeatedly emphasizing the events, determined to convince everyone.
Not only in the security room, even outside during patrols, they shared their tale with others in the company. This was their heroic story, and soon, everyone in the company knew about John Brown and the security team’s courageous battle against the underworld.
John Brown then called Jack Carter into his office, where Jack excitedly expressed gratitude. John Brown laughed, “Save it, kid. How’s it going with your Nancy?”
Jack sighed, “Not great for now.”
“Hmm?” John Brown frowned slightly.
Jack quickly said, “The issue isn’t with . For what Nancy went through, I don’t bla her at all. Even if she was montarily infatuated, as long as she chooses to be with in the end, I’ll be happy. It’s just… she can’t get past it herself, always feeling guilty towards .”
“Then I can rest assured. In such matters, you need to slowly reassure her. This shows she’s a good girl. A typical girl wouldn’t care that much, wouldn’t you agree?”
“Yes, yes. I’ve always believed Nancy is an exceptional girl, which is why I like her so much. I also believe that sooner or later, I’ll help her overco this psychological barrier. I just called Nancy, and she saw the news of Jack’s arrest; she’s much happier now.”
“Good, that’s good. When we get a chance, we’ll figure out how to handle Henry Forman, and she’ll feel even more relieved. Oh, I haven’t told her about her dad yet. I’ll find soone to talk to her later.”
“Thank you, Manager Johnson. You’re really my savior.” Out of excitent, Jack almost kneeled before John Brown.
John Brown could hardly accept that and quickly pulled him up, sending him out of the office. Then he dialed Helen Wilson’s number.
Helen Wilson was busy at the ti, but seeing it was John Brown’s call, she imdiately stepped out of the interrogation room to answer. Hearing John Brown’s voice made her feel quite comfortable. Despite his usual sleazy deanor and his hidden true identity, he always thought of her when sothing good happened, and that was enough.
