"C-Captain!" Sunny approached Elsa shakily and whispered in her ear, "His father is a deputy in the city. We're all on the same side. We should show him some respect."
"You want me to respect him? I don't recall him showing my friend any respect, though," Elsa replied with a chuckle.
Sunny was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He did not expect to run into this kind of situation from just passing by the area. What should he do?
Just then, Leon suddenly shouted, "You're trying to arrest me? On what grounds are you doing that? What right do you have to arrest me?"
Although Elsa had a high rank, Leon figured she would still need to pay some respect to his father and would not seriously consider arresting him.
Moreover, his new girlfriend was just next to him. He could not afford to suffer such humiliation. Hence, he decided to keep acting tough.
Elsa replied coldly, "You tried to assault a national figure with special status. I suspect that you're a spy. Sunny, arrest him and send him to the Special Forces headquarters for interrogation."
Elsa placed Leon under arrest just like that, scaring the living daylights out of him.
"Captain, this is…" Sunny tried to intervene.
Elsa gave him an icy stare and said, "The same goes for you. Head over to the Special Forces headquarters. You're temporarily suspended. You better fess up on your own. If I find out that you're hiding anything, you better be ready to face the consequences."
Sunny felt weak in the legs and almost fell to the floor.
He was dragged along into this mess. Right now, he could not even save himself, much less have the courage to help Leon beg for mercy.
Having no other choice, he ordered his subordinates, "Didn't you hear the captain? Carry out her orders and arrest Leon Shawn."
His subordinates were stunned for a moment. They had no choice but to walk up to Leon with their handcuffs ready.
Seeing that he was about to be arrested, Leon started to panic. He said anxiously, "You can't do this to me. My father is…"
"Shut up!" Elsa cut him off before he could finish. "Stop bringing shame to your father like this. Tell him to pick you up from the Special Forces later. If he has anything to say, he can say it straight to my face."
Leon succumbed immediately. He knew that Elsa outranked his father. In this situation, all he could do was admit defeat and think of a solution later.
