hapter 206: His Intentions
Chapter 206: His Intentions
Edward widened his eyes, a look of panic flashing across his cheeks.
He instinctively tried to evade-
Narrowly avoiding the attacks from the crowd.
However-
The guy with the buzz cut suddenly made a move, grabbing Edward’s collar.
the midst of the chaos, it was unclear who had caught Edward’s leg.
He was completely unable to move agilely!
In the blink of an eye, the guy with the buzz cut threw a punch that landed heavily on Edward’s abdomen!
The tall and cold youth’s back slightly bent, and his originally indifferent expression finally showed a crack.
He let out a muffled groan, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes.
Instinctively, he leaned against the wall, using his hand to support his tottering body.
Little did he know, the guy with the buzz cut and his followers were still unwilling to let him go-
“What’s the matter, can’t handle it? I’m not done having fun yet!” The guy with the buzz cut sneered, revealing a sinister smile.
His followers behind him also seemed unwilling to stop.
After all, it was just too boring here.
It’s only fun to pick on the new guy.
As soon as he said this, the guy with the buzz cut led a few of his lackeys to charge at Edward again-
Meanwhile, Edward, leaning against the wall, had a frighteningly pale face.
He tightly bit his lip, still feeling intense pain in his body.
Onlookers nearby, however, looked on with unusual indifference.
They had either grown used to or were indifferent to such occurrences.
This kind of thing happened often.
If Edward had been a bit more tactful from the beginning and tried to please this guy with the buzz cut, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation
now.
The young man leaning against the wall, slightly hunched over, could only watch countless fists approaching him with wide–open eyes.
He clenched his fists and involuntarily closed his eyes.
Just then-
“What are you doing?!”
A loud and stern voice suddenly rang in everyone’s ears.
Two police officers broke through the barriers and swiftly rushed over.
They quickly subdued these troublemaking delinquents and sternly said, “Causing trouble here, you’ve got some nerve!”
The guy with the buzz cut had both of his hands restrained, and he was pinned to the ground.

The Tycoon’s Deepest Repentance
Chapter 206: His Intentions
The others had long been scared out of their wits, crouching on the ground and trembling.
Normally, the supervisory staff turned a blind eye to their actions, which is why they acted so recklessly and without restraint.
Now, the sudden appearance of these two police officers looked unfamiliar to them.
Perhaps they were dealing with someone important they didn’t recognize!
“You’ve got too much free time. From now on, you’ll work on time, no slacking, and I’ll increase your workload,” one of the police officers reprimanded sternly.
So, these delinquents were quickly taken out to work.
The place returned to calm once more.
The two police officers immediately approached Edward. Their expressions were still stern, but their tone was slightly more relaxed. “Are you Edward Bellerose?”
Edward raised his eyes to look at them, his eyes filled with puzzlement and anxiety. “You…”
The officers sensed his anxiety and wariness. In a calm tone, one of them said, “Don’t worry. We’ve got a general idea of the situation. Your case is quite complex, and there are no definite conclusions at the moment. Technically, you shouldn’t be here.”
The place where Edward was being held was typically reserved for convicted individuals. It was indeed inhumane to place someone who had not yet been convicted here.
“You come with us.”
The police officers said this to Edward and then escorted the pale–faced youth out.
Edward was taken to a clean and tidy single room. The environment here, while not exceptionally good, was far better than the previous location.
“You’ll stay here for now. Cooperate with the investigation, and if you are truly innocent, the law will definitely deliver justice for you,” one of the officers said to him before leaving.
Upon hearing this, Edward paused for a moment. How had everything suddenly taken a turn for the better?
When he was first brought in, the officers assigned to his case had been very strict, continually urging him to confess as soon as possible. Now, these two officers were speaking to him in a different manner and had brought him to this clean and well–lit room.
Why?
Although it was a positive development, Edward couldn’t help but feel curious. As he was lost in thought, the door suddenly closed. The two officers had left, leaving Edward alone in the room. He instinctively moved closer to the door.
There was a small window in the room that allowed him to see the situation outside. The two officers walked straight ahead, and suddenly, a few men approached them- these men were the officers who had been handling Edward’s case before. They looked at the two officers in confusion, clearly puzzled by their decision to release Edward.
However, the two officers leaned in close to them and lowered their voices, saying, “Surname Fos… Har…er”
Edward moved closer to the window, trying to hear what they were saying. Unfortunately, the voices were too soft, and he couldn’t make put anything. Vaguely, he only heard the word “Har and Er.”
Har and Er… Harper?
