My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) novel Chapter 911

As Amos predicted, Harley was called into his superior's office at the same time.

"What do you think about the news?"

His superior, Morgan, was very calm and had even asked for Harley's opinion. Harley pursed his lips and said, "It's not like that. Amos is my best friend!"

Morgan nodded and said, "Could you stay away from him for the time being?"

Harley remained silent, thus Morgan continued, "Of course I believe you, but the media is putting us under a lot of pressure now. The public's opinions are extremely important to a department like ours. I'm also taking your future into consideration. You are already the most capable junior in our department at such a young age. Your future is limitless. I'm just asking you to stay away from him for a period of time, so you..."

"I refuse to!"

Before Morgan finished speaking, Harley interrupted him.

"Amos is my best friend. When I met him, he had not become the president of Valiant East andtheTEM Company yet. We've been through hell and back together. Why didn't anyone put pressure on us at that time? The people we protect aren't fools! They will not be swept up into this chaos just because of a few words from the media."

Morgan touched his forehead and said, "I knew you would say that and I also believe that the people aren't fools. However, no matter how smart they are, there will always be a buffer time. Looking at the current state of the media, I’m just asking you to stay away from him for a while. When the situation becomes stable, you two can hang out again..."

"There's no way I'll agree to that!" Harley spoke with gritted teeth. "What are friends for? Boss, I believe that Amos is also being investigated, just like I am! He hasn't given up, and neither will I!"

After that, Harley took out his badge and gun, putting them on the table.

"I request to be suspended!"

Morgan frowned and said, "Harley! Why are you so capricious?"

"I'm sorry, but this is what I need to do!"

After saying that, Harley saluted Morgan, turned around and left.

Outside Morgan’ s office, several of Harley’ s colleagues gathered around and asked, "How is it?

What did Boss say?"

Harley shrugged and said, "Nothing. He didn't say much. It's just that I've been a little tired recently, so I'm applying for a vacation! Don't miss me too much!"

Everyone was stunned and said, "Officer Louis..."

"Alright, enough with the talking! Although the recent cases in your hands aren't too major, you should also pay attention to them! You should handle them properly. If anything goes wrong, I will not spare you when I return!"

"Yes, we'll give them our utmost attention!"

"That's good! If you handle them well, I'll feel proud!"

When Harley walked out of the entrance, many people were gathered outside with banners to protest.

Their red banners were filled with white letters that said, "Punish those who behave rashly! Give the people clean law enforcement officers!"

"Never forgive those who know the law and yet still break it!"

Looking at the group of people, Harley suddenly felt all forms of criticisms piercing his heart.

"The people we protect are not fools!" he reassured himself once again.

However, he had no idea when they would regain their rationale!

While Harley was deep in thought, a loud voice broke out from the crowd, crying, "That's him! He's working with businessmen behind our back!"

As soon as someone shouted, the rest of the crowd suddenly surrounded Harley.

"Don't you know that we're talking about you? It's because of law enforcement officers like you whose conscience has been taken away that ordinary people like us are treated unfairly all the time."

"What conscience? How could people like them have consciences? They only have evil hearts. For their own interests, they won't care about the people's welfare!"

Someone shouted, "Beat him up! Beat him to death!"
