Chapter 186 Lawless
Speaking, he quickly stepped forward to support Summer, but his eyes were on Adeline. "Adeline, are you okay?"
If she really got hit, his old superiors would skin him alive!
She was entrusted to his care, and he had informed all departments.
But something still went wrong!
Daniel was a bit fret, wondering how he would explain this when he got back.
Adeline shook her head, her face calm. "They said they are police officers, enforcing the law."
"Police? Where are their badges?" Daniel looked sternly at the two officers.
But they didn't take Daniel seriously at all, and said coldly, "Is this your place to intervene? Step aside!"
In all his years of work, no one had ever dared to speak to Daniel like this. "What's your name?"
"Don't you hear me?" One of the officers was very rude, raising the electric baton in his hand. "I don't want to repeat myself!"
Jesse, who was following, frowned. "Which precinct are you from? What kind of enforcement attitude is this?"
"Why do we need to tell you?" They were used to throwing their weight around and didn't care about ordinary citizens. "Step aside! If you don't, we'll take you all in!"
Daniel heard this and said, "I want to see which blind fool dares to take us in!"
"We're taking you!" The officer was unreasonable, and his fist was about to land on Daniel's shoulder.
Adeline swiftly lifted her leg.
She kicked him far away!
Her eyes were calm and indifferent.
It seemed as if she hadn't acted earlier simply because she was too lazy to fight.
The remaining officer, holding the electric baton, was trembling and quickly called for backup!
"Officer down at 81 Chrysanthemum Alley! Repeat! Officer down at 81 Chrysanthemum Alley!"
This escalated the situation, alerting the real police.
Daniel wasn't afraid. "Adeline, don't worry. When their people arrive, my friend here will make sure they are punished!"
Jesse, with his dignified demeanor, immediately saw the problem. "Something's not right here."
"Indeed, something's off. I didn't want to act to avoid being accused of assaulting an officer, but if you two get hurt, I can't afford to compensate." Adeline, having met countless people, naturally knew that Daniel's friend was not simple.
"When their people arrive, I'll go with them. Daniel, please stay and accompany my grandmother."
This was Adeline's instruction.
Daniel glared. "Both of us are here. I want to see who really dares to take you away!"
As it turned out, sometimes being in a high position wasn't always a good thing.
None of those people recognized Daniel, let alone the soon-to-be city secretary, whom they had never even heard of.
Except for Summer, who was too old, they didn't touch her.
Everyone present, including Jesse, was taken to the Starhaven District police station on charges of "assaulting an officer."
The reason for taking them there was part of Angela's plan from the beginning.
She didn't use the Jones family's connections; for such a small matter, her own accumulated network was enough.
The chief of the Starhaven District police station was someone she had maintained a relationship with for years, and of course, he would give her face during the investigation.
Daniel's suit was wrinkled, and he growled in anger. "You have no regard for the law!"
The officers didn't listen to anything he said and directly handcuffed them!
