The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 4362

The conversation with the police commissioner only lasted for a short ten minutes, but Merlin felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

He was well aware of the mayor's intention for him to retire early, and even if he had not pushed the blame onto him directly, in the eyes of the public, he would still be the one taking the fall for it.

Letting Merlin retire early was a punishment for him.

When the time came, they would then exaggerate Merlin's contribution to New York and subtly relay the message to the people that Merlin was considered someone who had dedicated his life and career to the New York citizens for so

many years even though he had not done a good job this time. It could also be counted as hard work and now, Merlin already knew that he was wrong, and he had taken the initiative to request for an early retirement. So, everyone should see how hard he had worked for New York for most of his life and not be too hard on him.

Generally speaking, people usually accepted this kind of theory.

This was just like a dedicated security guard in his own neighborhood who had worked hard for most of his life, doing his best to protect the safety and security of the neighborhood. As a result, he had accidentally let a group of thieves in just as he was about to retire. Who could blame him for anything, then?

As Merlin thought of this, he suddenly admired the mayor immensely.

Although the mayor was not an Oskian, he had also been a police officer for twenty-two years, and his tactics were very powerful.

This time, he was using Merlin to receive a big payoff for a little effort.

With such great public anger, it was only by throwing Merlin out to the public to play the emotional cards and take the pity route that the mayor would be able to overcome the rigidity with softness.

For Merlin himself, although this tactic would undoubtedly make him feel humiliated, he had no other choice right now.

So, he picked up the walkie-talkie and issued his last order as a detective so that all the members of the special operations team would withdraw and evacuate Fox Group's headquarters building immediately.

The withdrawal of the special operations team officially declared the failure of this arrest operation.

The media reporters were waiting for the police spokesperson to explain the situation, and Merlin, who felt as though he had aged more than ten years, stepped forward before the media reporters.
