    Chapter 192 The Secretary–General


    Lucas asked grimly, “Are you suggesting that we bribe our way out of this?”


    He knew Southdale had its problems, but he didn’t think these officers would have the nerve to ask for


    bribes outright.


    He thought about his phone call with Otis from yesterday where thetter said Southdale had been rid


    of corruption.


    Lucas clenched his fist. At this point, he would have to personally verify the truth of that


    statement.


    The officer drawled, “I see no point in continuing this interrogation. How dare you use public officers


    of soliciting bribes?”


    He set his pen down and stared at the three of them evenly.


    The three of them made it difficult for the officer to tackle a confession out of them. An idea


    crossed his mind as his gazended on Wynter.


    He would have to coerce a confession out of her. He doubted a youngdy like her could endure their


    grueling interrogation methods.


    “Bring the other two away!” he ordered.


    The moment Dom heard this, he understood what the officer’s intentions were. The officer wanted to


    interrogate Wynter alone and force a confession out of her.


    “Don’t you dare touch us!” Dom yelled as he rose to his feet.


    However, Dom was knocked backward when the officernded a punch on his chest. “m it, old man!


    This is a police station, not some run–down vige!


    “You’d better start cooperating if you want to make it out of this room!”


    Wynter had not seen that punching. She was too far away to block it from hitting Dom. Now, she


    cast the officer a dark look.


    Dom had never experienced getting punched like that. He coughed as a dull ache spread through his


    chest.


    Wynter’s eyes gleamed wickedly. She moved too quickly for anyone to notice.

    In a sh, she materialized before the officer with a vicious look on her face.


    The officer nearly shrunk back in fear. “Touch me and I’ll put you behind bars for good!”


    Chapter 192 The Secretary General


    Dom silently pleaded for Wynter to stay calm. He was still out of breath, but he knew he had to stop


    Wynter before she was ovee with violence.


    “Dr. Genius,” he rasped. “I’m fine. I can bounce back, no problem.”


    In truth, the punch earlier had left Dom in a stupor. He thought his identity in Southdale was enough to


    keep the police officers in check.


    Unfortunately, none of the officers recognized him; he was too high up on the social


    pyramid.


    He wondered why the City Bureau hadn’t made a move yet. It shouldn’t take this long to


    make a phone call.


    He also contemted the possibility that Otis was dying help on purpose,


    At the thought of this, Dom looked at Lucas. “Mr. Keller, we have to get out of here.” If they didn’t,


    Wynter would end up bearing the brunt of this situation.


    Lucas‘ expression was grave as he kept his gaze on the interrogator who had barged in. “I was in the


    military and I was an officer with merit. I want to speak to Jerome Grayson,” he


    bit out.


    The mention of Jerome stunned the officer and his co–workers. None of them expected


    Lucas to know Jerome.


    Meanwhile, Adam Weissman could no longer ignore the chaos brewing in the Ravenwood police


    precinct.


    Reluctant to leave the woman with whom he’d slept, he disgruntledly got out of bed.


    He was upset that the Yates‘ dirty work was more trouble than it was worth. Wanda had told him that


    the live–streaming youngdy was merely a bumpkin.


    “Haven’t they confessed yet?” Adam demanded of the interrogator before going into the


    room.


    The interrogator answered in hushed tones, “Captain Weissman, one of them knows Chief


    Commissioner Grayson.”


    “Oh, please, he’s just bluffing you. Do you think I wouldn’t know anyone who is acquainted with the


    Chief Commissioner?” Adam was unconvinced, and he was still dazed from the amorous affair he’d


    had beforeing over here.


    His phone had been ringing incessantly in the office. About twenty calls hade in, but Adam did not


    answer any of them before entering the interrogation room.

    He asked Lucas gruffly, “You wanted to see Jerome ?” His features twisted with malice, “1 don’t care


    who you are. You’re in Southdale now, and you have to y by our rules.”


    Lucas sneered. “Having a police captain admonishing me on my first day as the City Bureau’s


    Secretary–General. I wonder what the deputy mayor will think of that.”


    “You’re the Secretary–General?” Adam barked augh. “Don’t be…”


    However, before he could say the word “ridiculous“, he was cut off by a loud bang.
