Chapter 285: Chapter 292: Arrival"Who are you people, how dare you barge into an interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau!" James Robinson, not recognizing a few people, was about to take action but was interrupted again, and immediately shouted in anger. "I am Christopher Brown!" The leading man said in a deep voice, his face incredibly troubled. "I don’t care if you are Christopher Brown or Christopher Anderson, this is a police station, everyone get out!" With Christopher Taylor here, James Robinson did not take anyone else seriously. "Slap!" A crisp slap sounded, Qian Liben’s face turned livid as he exclaimed, "Bastard, this is the Mayor." "Ah!" James Robinson, touching his face, was suddenly dumbfounded, as he had just cursed the Mayor, essentially digging his own grave. Christopher Taylor stood up, chuckled, and said, "Secretary Johnson, what brings you here?" Christopher Brown, with a stern face, looked at Christopher Taylor and said, "Christopher Taylor, you really have the nerve. You’ve turned the Public Security Bureau into a place for personal vendettas." Christopher Taylor’s face changed. Although he had support from the provincial level, he still didn’t dare to belittle a Mayor, given that his future promotion still needed their positive evaluation. If his reputation here was damaged, even with his family’s influence, it might still be a great hassle. Usually, his subordinates would boast, claiming that even the Mayor doesn’t measure up to him, but he knew in his heart that it was his family’s influence that the Mayor fears, not him. If he is faultless, the Mayor would give him face, but if someone catches him in wrongdoing, then it’s tough to defend himself. But even if he was wrong, Christopher Brown didn’t need to reprimand him so directly, seriously disrespecting him. "Secretary Johnson, I will report the details of this matter to you." "Report be damned, this is the Public Security Bureau, what are you doing here? Is this your office?" Christopher Taylor’s face darkened as Christopher Brown scolded him in public. How could he tolerate that? He said sternly, "Secretary Johnson, even if this is my fault, I accept your criticism, but is there really a need to scold me?" Christopher Brown snorted coldly and said, "These are comrades from the Integrity Department. Whatever it is, you can explain it to them later." "The Integrity Department?" Christopher Taylor’s eyes widened, absolutely in disbelief that Christopher Brown would do this, even bringing the Integrity Department. Wasn’t this pushing him to his doom? "Christopher Taylor, you are now under investigation, please cooperate with us," a man stepped forward to Christopher Taylor with a serious look. James Brown, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke loudly, "Secretary Johnson, I have a recording here; I wonder if it could be considered as evidence?" "Of course, it can," replied Christopher Brown immediately. James Brown hurriedly took out his mobile phone and said, "I recorded how they tortured me for a confession just now." Qian Liben blanched, Christopher Taylor being caught by the Integrity Department, even if it’s about this case, his involvement wasn’t a big concern. However, having a recording where he participated in the torture, he couldn’t deny his involvement now. James Robinson and Alan Johnson felt even weaker in their bodies. This matter could either be big or small, but if seriously pursued, not only would they be expelled from the police force but might also get implicated in other cases, making their situation terrible. Most importantly, the person handling this matter now was none other than the Mayor himself, and by the looks of it, he was intent on severely dealing with the situation, which was what they feared the most. Additionally, they regretted not confiscating James Brown’s phone earlier, a significant oversight, but even if they regretted it now, it was too late. Christopher Taylor suddenly realized something; James Brown daring to repeatedly oppose him didn’t look like something an ordinary person would do. He had just arrested James Brown, and the Mayor had almost immediately come forward, even bringing the Integrity Department to deal with him. This surely wasn’t a coincidence, and he recalled the manager at L Hotel had once specifically told him that James Brown had significant backing—which he hadn’t believed but now did.

Staring intently at James Brown, Christopher Taylor ominously said, "James Brown, you won this time. I am very curious, who exactly are you?" James Brown smiled faintly and lit another cigarette, saying, "If you just do your official duties well, you don’t need to worry about who I am. If you misuse your power for wrongdoing, then perhaps every person you’ve bullied might have significant backing." "Fine, you won’t tell me, but I will find out. I’ll tell you this—you won this time, but it doesn’t mean I will always lose in the future. I will have my revenge." Secretary Johnson signaled with his eyes to the comrades from the Integrity Department, who immediately escorted Christopher Taylor out. At this moment, James Smith, the director of the bureau, rushed over with several deputy directors. Just as he was about to speak, Christopher Brown said sternly, "I need a detailed report and clarifications on how this matter was handled. I want to see it in my office by tomorrow." After finishing, he glanced at James Brown again and walked out. Several directors hurried out, leaving only Qian Liben, James Robinson, and Alan Johnson standing there in a daze. "Hey, can I go now?" James Brown asked with a smile. All three of them were stunned, not knowing what to do at the moment, but before they made a decision, James Smith rushed in and yelled, "Why don’t you release him?" Only then did James Robinson hurriedly go over to unlock James Brown’s handcuffs, while James Smith kept apologizing to James Brown. He didn’t know what status James Brown had, but today’s incident started because of James Brown. If he didn’t appease James Brown, and James Brown kept making trouble, he, as the director, would be in big trouble. James Brown didn’t make it difficult for James Smith. With Christopher Taylor present, these people were somewhat helpless. As for how to handle the situation, that was something for Christopher Brown and others to do, which had nothing to do with him. As he walked out of the corridor on the first floor, James Brown saw several beauties there, all looking his way. Sarah Utah even sprinted forward two steps, grabbing James Brown’s arm, her eyes red as she said, "Big Brother Brown, are you alright?" James Brown, smiling, said, "Do I look like I’m in trouble?" "Uh-huh!" Sarah Utah nodded repeatedly, suddenly throwing herself into James Brown’s arms, holding tightly onto his waist and starting to cry. This left James Brown somewhat at a loss, especially with Gina Lopez and Sunny Nguyen watching, as well as Helen Wilson, who wore a strange expression. It was easier said with Gina Lopez, as they hadn’t been involved yet, but he had been involved with both Sunny Nguyen and Helen Wilson. Now, however, Sarah Utah was hugging him, which inevitably made him feel uneasy. But how could James Brown ignore such affection from Sarah Utah? The kind of promise and sadness she showed when he was taken away were not something an ordinary girl could do. Seeing him come out and be so emotional, if he didn’t respond, he wouldn’t be much of a man. He opened his arms and hugged Sarah Utah’s shoulders, gently patting her twice and softly saying, "Don’t cry, I’m fine, aren’t I?" Sarah Utah gradually stopped crying, gently let go of James Brown, and said with a blush, "It’s good you’re fine, Big Brother Brown, you really scared me." "It’s my fault, let’s go, so many people are watching." With this reminder from James Brown, Sarah Utah remembered the people nearby and her face flushed again. She hurriedly stepped back two steps and bowed her head, daring not to look at James Brown again. James Brown’s heart softened, and he reached out to hold Sarah Utah’s hand, bringing her over to Gina Lopez and the others, saying, "Hehe, thank you all for rushing over." Gina Lopez, seeing James Brown coming out, should have been pleased, but seeing him with Sarah Utah like this, she felt a pang of sourness and showed no good attitude towards James Brown, snorting, "You still realize we are troubled by you, just creating trouble all day, making us worry along with you." James Brown, cheekily smiling, said, "Yes, yes, my fault, I really appreciate Mr. Lopez’s concern and I won’t do it again." "Hmph, good that you know." Gina Lopez gave James Brown a cold look, turned and walked towards the door in her high heels. Sunny Nguyen, however, was in a better mood, smiling at James Brown, "You guy, you’re really in for it now." James Brown forced a laugh, "No worries, no worries." Both spoke with implicit meanings, but Helen Wilson and Sarah Utah didn’t catch on at all. "Well, I’ll go with Mr. Lopez now." Sunny Nguyen smiled again, chasing after Gina Lopez. James Brown led Sarah Utah to Helen Wilson, who snorted, grabbed Sarah Utah, and said, "Sarah, what is this..." Sarah Utah’s face grew even redder, but she bravely met Helen Wilson’s gaze, saying, "Helen Wilson, I like Big Brother Brown." Helen Wilson felt an indescribable taste in her heart and said, "But he already has a girlfriend." Sarah Utah bit her lip, firmly saying, "I know, but I still like him. I won’t force Big Brother Brown and I won’t disrupt his relationship with his girlfriend, but if they aren’t compatible, I’ll definitely be with him." Helen Wilson’s lips twitched slightly, saying, "Do you even know he’s been involved with other women, even been in... relationships?" After saying this, Helen Wilson felt a bit sordid, but still couldn’t help saying it. Sarah Utah smiled faintly, "I won’t mind Big Brother Brown’s past, and we are modern people, it’s normal to have relationships before when dating. Moreover, I just like Big Brother Brown, he isn’t my boyfriend now, I have no right to interfere with his freedom." Helen Wilson sighed, "You really are naive." After looking at James Brown again, she turned and also walked out. Sarah Utah pondered Helen Wilson’s words; she did seem naive, but she felt this naivety was sweet. For love, even if it meant being naive once, what of it?
