Edgar paused, raised his eyes and took a slight glance at Bill who was clearly surprised and confused. After meeting Bill's eyes, Edgar once again stared at the documents in his hands and said,"Even if he does know that, he can pretend to know nothing…"
Puzzled from what he heard, Bill took a frown and placed the lollipop into his mouth as he stepped back. He said,"Is that it? Will he just allow her to stir up the situation? !"
Suddenly, the smile at the corner of Edgar's mouth became invisible. He placed the documents on the table, like nothing was wrong. Edgar's gentle face could not hide the power he held as he pondered with his back leaning against the chair, one arm at rest and the other hand supporting his chin.
Bill had worked with Edgar since their time at the army as they had carried out Superior-subordinate Communication. After leaving the army, Edgar had managed to make Bill work for him. Bill, who knew Edgar for the longest time, knew that the expression on Edgar's face covered his anger he intentionally suppressed.
Anybody who was in that situation would definitely be filled with anger. The mayor had worked hard and invested many years in it. Despite aiming to enter and host the State Parliament, he did not like to be manipulated by anybody. But with what was currently happening, for some reason, it seemed that he had to compromise with Major General Zeng. To compromise, it does not include turning a complete blind eye on their dirty tricks.
Bill, while sucking the lollipop in his mouth, was ceaselessly thinking. During Bill's earlier visit to his doctor, the doctor had suggested him often eat candies to relief the symptoms of his Hypoglycemia. From then on, he had developed the habit of eating candies.
"Sir, why not let Jenifer deal with those groups of people… so that we can get away?" Bill finally asked the question he couldn't understand.
Since everybody wanted to get into the muddy water, why didn't they live in the silt without getting stained?
Edgar took a glance at Bill and thought, 'This guy is quick-witted and sensitive enough, but often fails to look at the bigger picture.'
"In your opinion, how did Jenifer get in to her current position, through Major General Zeng's protection or anything else?"
Bill did not know how to answer Edgar. People who gained no knowledge about what had happened might think she got her current position because of Major General Zeng's position in the army and the Zeng Family's relationship to the local forces. However, Bill did know what had happened. He knew that Jenifer got into her position all by herself. Moreover, people who did not know her well might even know nothing about her background.
Despite having an enchanting and attractive appearance, Jennifer worked hard, perhaps even harder than men. She was able to finish every training program designed for men and even managed to perform better than most men in the training ground!
He often thought, 'If females get admitted to the Wolf SWAT Team and Jenifer and the mayor become rivals, what will happen?'
