Chapter 1767: Chapter 1412: You’re in Big Trouble! (Part 2) With this promise, Henry, Gian’s eyes lit up. Googlᴇ search novel{f}ire.net Yes, they are now a community of interests! Only by ensuring Mr. Berman’s success in the election can they have a future, isn’t that exactly what they seek? Besides, is it certain that the one surnamed Bai will trap them in a quagmire? With Mr. Berman’s financial resources and connections, he can completely withstand it! “The next mayor?” Lai Yin frowned, coldly staring at Berman, and reminded, “Mr. Gordon is still in office and he will also participate in the election! Mr. Berman is so confident you will definitely win? If Mr. Gordon intervenes in this matter, are you still so confident?!” Faced with Lai Yin’s “threat,” Berman laughed heartily. “Lai Yin, you don’t understand politics, you don’t pay attention to the realities of the election, are you using Mayor Gordon to scare me?” Behind Berman, Henry and Gian also sneered continuously. The mayor likely knew about the situation here long ago, but he has remained silent up until now. Isn’t it obvious, he won’t intervene at all. Previously, the two even heard Mr. Berman mention that Gordon had privately chatted with him, saying he would support him in taking office and that they should maintain “friendliness.” This represents the attitude of Mayor Gordon on this matter. Lai Yin’s words not only failed to make the two feel uneasy, but instead made them realize their previous worries were completely unnecessary. In Haru City, even the current mayor avoids the sharp edge of Mr. Berman, could an outsider really turn things upside down? “If the mayor sends someone to say to release you, then we’ll comply. After all, it’s the mayor!” Berman joked deliberately. Henry and Gian also laughed along. Lai Yin’s face turned extremely unpleasant. At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was knocked on urgently. Berman and the others looked over, their laughter subsided. Henry walked straight over to open the door, initially intending to scold whoever was the fool knocking so urgently. Outside the door, the guard raising his hand to continue knocking was startled. Henry glared angrily, but found behind the guard stood a few people. The lead was none other than Mayor Gordon’s secretary, Joseph. Henry was momentarily stunned seeing Joseph. However, upon seeing him, Joseph instead smiled. But compared to his usual courtesy, Joseph’s expression seemed a bit indifferent. “So it’s Mr. Joseph, what’s the matter with your visit?” Henry asked politely. After all, the other party is the mayor’s secretary, some respect should be given. Joseph’s smile seemed slightly indifferent, his voice still amicable, “I was sent by Mayor Gordon. The mayor requests—” “Release Mr. Lai Yin!” Joseph’s last sentence was spoken decisively and straightforwardly. Henry’s smile stiffened, he looked at Joseph somewhat bewildered. Behind him, in the interrogation room, Berman, Gian, and Lai Yin all heard this sentence. Berman suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief. Gian was dumbfounded. Even Lai Yin was stunned. The Mayor Gordon, with low popular support and about to step down soon, who had become the presence of a good gentleman in recent months, why suddenly changed style today, and intended to intervene in this matter! Berman and the others were truly puzzled. “Mr. Joseph, regarding the matter of Lai Yin’s team, our two departments are collaborating on the investigation, it’s compliant and legitimate, the investigation isn’t over yet, how can we release people so easily!” Henry said. “Yes, releasing people requires a reason, even the mayor cannot intervene arbitrarily in the specific affairs of independent departments!” Gian also approached and said. Joseph’s face still carried a faint smile, calmly said, “It’s , a gentleman surnamed Bai recently provided Mayor Gordon with conclusive evidence, Mayor Gordon also organized a high-level hearing, and it was believed that there are indeed issues here, so I was sent to return Mr. Lai Yin his freedom.” This remark immediately froze Henry, Gian, and Berman in place. Lai Yin was also incredulous. In such a short time, Bai Xiaosheng convinced the mayor to intervene in this matter? The mayor even decisively ordered, directly releasing them?! Mayor Gordon is also a formidable figure, how could he be persuaded so easily! “High-level hearing? Then why don’t we know!” Berman, with a solemn face, stepped out. He could no longer remain silent! This matter already involves the mayoral contest between him and Gordon! “Yes, why don’t we know!” “We are the heads of important city departments, how come no one notified us!” Henry and Gian shouted along. Joseph still calmly, with a peaceful smile, waited for the three to finish speaking, then said, “Currently, Mayor Gordon is holding a press conference to explain to the public about the matter involving Lai Yin. Haru Medical College there has also issued evidence at the mayor’s request, confirming that Lai Yin’s research only encountered procedural issues. As for why Mr. Henry and Mr. Gian weren’t invited to the high-level hearing…” Joseph smiled and took out a letter of appointment and dismissal signed by the mayor, “Perhaps it’s because the two of you are no longer heads of your respective departments!” Henry and Gian’s expressions turned somewhat grim hearing the previous words, and the last sentence hit them like a thunderbolt. They saw the letter of appointment and dismissal in Joseph’s hand, their eyes wide open, full of disbelief. Henry even grabbed the piece of paper, eyes bulging, quickly scanned, after reading, his face turned pale as paper.
