chapter 31 Put more aniseed

At this moment, ten armored Paramount Marauder roared in. People from the Public Security Bureau quickly scattered to the side. Before the first Paramount Marauder came to a complete stop, Devin swung open the door and leaped out, taking a few large strides inside. Dozens of individuals in black, wielding war knives at their waists, descended from the other vehicles, encircling the area. Though they only carried cold weapons, while the Public Security Bureau personnel were armed with firearms, they understood these individuals belonged to the Patrol Division—true warriors. Warriors were not comparable to ordinary folks; conventional weapons hardly scratched them. In their hands, cold weapons unleashed their maximum potential. "Chief... Chief Wei!" Tristan was astonished. How did this minor incident manage to alert Chief Wei, head of the Patrol Division? Even though both were law enforcement agencies within Jinghai, the Patrol Division dealt with major, challenging cases and managed the city's warriors. Their authority far exceeded that of the Public Security Bureau. "Tristan! You've got some nerve!" Devin roared. Upon receiving Victor's call, he dropped everything and rushed over. The urgency Victor conveyed could only mean one thing. "Palace..." Approaching Fernando, Devin bowed, ready to speak, but Fernando gestured to stop him. Devin immediately understood, standing by, awaiting instructions. "Chief Wei, Jinghai falls under your jurisdiction. Handle it as you see fit," Fernando calmly stated. "I wouldn't dare. Please, Palace... Please give instructions." Devin dared not handle it independently before Fernando. Jinghai was his jurisdiction, but the entire Huaxia was under the authority of the person before him. Tristan was completely dumbfounded. This person made Chief Wei bow and scrape like this. Who on earth was this formidable figure? Oh no, oh no, it's all over. Completely over. Tristan sat on the ground in shock. "Why are you sitting down? Get up and quickly catch him!" Tristan's wife, anxious, urged repeatedly. "Shut up!" Tristan angrily stood up, walked to his wife, and delivered a heavy slap to her face. It was all because of this extravagant woman. Now, instead of capturing someone else, Tristan would be lucky if he didn't get apprehended. "You audacious fatty! How dare you hit me! I'll fight you to the death!" In the cramped Academic Administration Office, the two engaged in a violent scuffle, rolling and grappling incessantly. The people from the Public Security Bureau were all dumbfounded. What's going on? How did the Director end up fighting with his wife? Do we still need to make arrests? Fernando fell silent for a moment, then called out, "Chief Wei." Devin quickly gestured with his hand, "No need for formalities, just call me Dev or Devin." Being addressed as Chief by the Palace Master made him extremely uneasy. Fernando didn't care much about titles; it was just a form of address. "Devin, investigate this person's source of income and see if there's any gray income. If so, deal with it according to the law, with severity." "And his wife, charge her for complicity in shielding a criminal." "Yes!" Devin nodded in acknowledgment. Tristan and his companion instantly stopped their scuffle, their eyes filled with fear. Tristan knew very well that his gray income over the past few years was enough to keep him in prison for a lifetime. Each income was meticulously recorded by his wife, and if they were charged together... "It's all because of you! It's all because of you!" Tristan slapped his wife repeatedly. His wife no longer resisted; the current outcome was a result of her actions. If only she hadn't tried to seize that last spot, everything would have been fine. But it was too late for everything now... "Also, investigate the Director of the Education Bureau," Fernando added. Those who abuse their authority are bound to be corrupt; once corruption occurs, bribery is inevitable. "Teacher, have we registered?" Fernando handed over the completed registration form. The enrollment teacher took it with trembling hands, "We... We have." This day was more eventful than most of the teacher's life. "Good then." Fernando gently held his daughter's hand, preparing to head home. When they reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "Oh, Devin, stew that Chihuahua for me. And remember, use plenty of spices." With that, he walked out of the school with Zoey. Tristan's wife was stunned for a moment, then completely broke down and cried, "Wuwu... Who is this person? Wuwu... Even my baby is not spared!!" Devin coldly snorted, "If you want to know, I can tell you. But when you find out, it'll be the moment you meet your demise!" This statement left Tristan and his wife completely shocked, unable to utter a word. ... On the way back, Zoey was especially happy; she could finally go to school like other kids. This was something she had been dreaming of. Father and daughter returned to the presidential suite, where Ella had already come back. As soon as Zoey saw her mom, she joyfully ran over, diving into her mother's arms and excitedly recounting everything that happened at school. Zoey's narration was a bit confusing, and Ella found it even more perplexing. In the end, the only thing she understood was that her daughter had enrolled in school. However, Ella's face showed no sign of joy. "What's wrong?" Fernando asked. Ella looked troubled and sighed, "Today, while I was organizing the house, my classmate Maya came to see me and invited me to a class reunion tomorrow night." Fernando chuckled, "What's wrong with a class reunion? Just go and enjoy." Ella shook her head, her concerns deepening. Under Fernando's questioning, Ella slowly said, "The restaurant for the class reunion is Qingteng Mountain Villa in the Western Suburbs." "Hmm? Feel it's too far? No problem, I'll have Victor drive you there," Fernando said dismissively. Ella remained silent, letting out a heavy sigh. After a brief pause, she continued, "Qingteng Mountain Villa used to be the property of the Gu Family. After our family was expelled from the Gu Family, we couldn't find work. Later, it was the manager of the Villa who showed a bit of kindness, allowing my dad to work as a security guard and my mom to wash dishes there." "With so many restaurants in Jinghai, why did Maya choose that one? It's deliberate, so I don't plan to go," Ella said angrily. Fernando listened thoughtfully. "It's okay; just go to the class reunion and enjoy yourself. They are all old classmates; maybe it's not as you think," Fernando reassured her. Hearing Fernando's words, Ella's expression improved slightly, but she still had some worries. Fernando comforted her a bit more, assuring her that he could accompany her tomorrow night. Ella then showed a faint smile. For some reason, as long as she was with Fernando, she felt unusually calm and secure.
