Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2449

The moment they wanted to go into the office, a policeman with a goatee stopped them. “Stop right there! This is a crime scene, so no one is allowed to go in.”

Dawn quickly explained, “Officer, this is Zeke Williams, the owner of Linton Group. Let him in, okay?”

The police officer shook his head. “I'm sorry, but we're carrying out an investigation and collecting evidence. If we let people in, they might destroy the evidence.”

In a deep voice, Zeke said, “Just leave. This case is more than any of you can handle. I'll take over it.”

“Pfft!” The police officer couldn't help chuckling. “Excuse me? If the police aren't supposed to handle homicide, what would you have us do? Traffic control? I'm warning you. Leave now and let us do our jobs. Otherwise, I'm going to have you arrested for obstruction of justice.”

Instead of saying anything to the police officer, Zeke whipped out his phone and called the Special Unit. “Take over the homicide case in Linton Group. Get the policemen here to leave the scene.”

The Special Unit had the highest authority in criminal investigations in Eurasia, and it was one of Cygnus Room's branches.

“Understood!” the person on the other end of the phone call answered.

The police officer was amused. “Mr. Williams, who are you kidding? Why must you bluff? Why do you want us off the case? Do you have something to hide? Are you in bed with the murderers?”


















Slap!

Without hesitation, Zeke gave the police officer a tight slap across the face. “Do you know that your last sentence can get you and your family killed?”

“B*stard!” the police officer fumed.

The other police officers were angered as well, and they all whipped out their guns and took aim at Zeke. How dare he touch our superior? Is he sick of living?

The police officer with a goatee gritted his teeth. “How dare you assault a policeman? Men, arrest him! Since he was stopping us from investigating the case, I strongly believe that he's in cahoots with the murderers. Arrest him!”

“Yes, Sir!” The rest of the police officers moved to arrest Zeke.

Right at that moment, the goateed police officer's phone rang.

In a cold tone, Zeke said, “You better answer it before deciding if you want to arrest me!”

Seeing how confident Zeke was, the police officer was stunned. Is this guy legit? Is that why he's so fearless? Since I'm not in a rush, I should just answer my phone first.

He then waved his men away and said, “Let me take this call first.”

Beads of cold sweat dotted the officer's forehead when he saw who was calling him on the phone. It was a call from the highest level of their organization. Normally, I don't even have the authority to talk to them! Why are they calling me all of a sudden? Could this be his doing? If that's the case, I've really screwed up big time.

“Yes, Colonel?” he uttered cautiously.

After a few seconds, the officer's face went pale, and he was sweating bullets. At the same time, his hands were trembling. “All right. Okay. I understand. Thank you!”

After hanging up the phone, the officer saluted Zeke and said, “Mr. Williams, I'm sorry. I've made a huge mistake. We'll leave everything here to you now!”

Zeke glanced at him and said, “Buzz off.”

The officer breathed a sigh of relief. “You're truly magnanimous, Mr. Williams! Thank you.”

Turning to his men, he yelled, “Let's go!”

The rest of the policemen were stupefied. What on earth is going on here? Our superior has always been a hot-tempered man, and he was just slapped in public. Based on his personality, he should be fighting back! Why did he apologize to the man who just slapped him? What the heck happened?
