My beautiful boss

"No. No more!" The man hastily shook his head. He was not a fool to get beaten up, given that he was no match for Peter.

Peter glowered at the man and shouted, "Then, get out of my sight now!"

"I will. I'm leaving!" In fear, the man was about to scoot away. However, it was already too late. With sirens wailing, three police cars appeared on site.

The police cars stopped on the roadside in an orderly fashion. Then, dozens of fully armed policemen got out of the vehicles and surrounded Peter and the others.

"Arrest them all, and bring them to me!" The head of the police did not even hesitate for a second and commanded to arrest Peter and the two girls without any intentions to figure out the truth.

Shelly and Lisa went pale upon seeing so many policemen gathering here. Their legs could not help but shake out of fear.

They were just ordinary women with normal lives, and they had never seen anything as frightening as this scene before.

Peter knew this had something to do with Alfred. The policemen did not even ask about what had happened. They just wanted to arrest them even without evidence.

Shelly and Lisa were about to be taken in handcuffs. When Peter saw that, he went to the head policeman and said, "Sir, these two woman have nothing to do with what happened just now. They are innocent and should not be treated this way."

"Who do you think you are? You are just a nobody! Your words count for nothing! We suspect them to be prostitutes. We have to take them to the police station," the head policeman shouted as he glowered at Peter.

Prostitutes?

Peter was trying really hard not to punch the cop in front of him because he knew that the consequences would be very serious if he did, given the circumstance they were in.

Peter calmly said, "These are only allegations, not facts. Besides, you don't have any evidence. Even if you still take them away, there's no need for handcuffs." Peter put on a loud, authoritative voice.

The policeman was furious because he felt that he had just been challenged by Peter. However, the people around the scene were watching them, and they all heard what Peter had said, so the policeman had to suppress his anger.

The public opinion was quite powerful these days. If he would lash out, his brutality might get posted on the internet and go viral, and then he would be doomed.

"Fine. No need for handcuffs. Just take them away, " The policeman said angrily, and then he went into a police car.

Peter, Shelly, and Lisa were all brought into the same car somehow. The others were taken to another two cars.

The policemen took Peter and the two girls and left the scene.

Peter looked furious in the car while

Shelly and Lisa were sitting beside him, leaning their bodies against him, trembling in fear.

The two women did not know what was going to happen after they arrived at the police station.

If they were accused for prostitution, even though it was not the truth, they would no longer be able to go back home because that would tarnish their names for a lifetime.

"Don't worry. You have done nothing wrong. The policemen should set you free,

Peter comforted the two women upon seeing their pitiful facial expressions.

"Shut up!" Peter was interrupted by a shout from the passenger side. "You should take care of yourself, not others."

The policeman turned his head and smirked, "You two, I have seen women like you before. You look like regular office employees, but I know that you're prostitutes. You'd better admit that, so you won't suffer from the interrogation."

"We are not prostitutes! We are just receptionists. We really are not prostitutes."

"We've done nothing to violate any laws. You must be mistaken."

Shelly and Lisa trembled as they sat on the backseat of the car. They tried to clear their names with trembling voices because they could not bear the false accusations.

"Since you won't admit it, we can interrogate you later in the police station. We know how to let criminals admit their crimes."

The head of police believed in his accusation. There seemed to be no way to change his mind. He, then, faced the road and did not make any sound anymore.

The two girls' minds went blank. They did not know what else to do. They felt like they were entering a black hole, unsure of what would be waiting for them. Their faces went pale, their lips were trembling, and they were in a total desperation.

Peter was so angry that he wanted to kill that devil.

He did not understand how a jerk like that could become a police.

Policemen should not have this kind of bullshit in their team. It was an insult to the police to have that kind of jerk in the system.

However, Peter knew that he had to endure all this. He would not assault the police, especially if it was not necessary for him to do so.

Peter did not argue with the policeman. Instead, he just kept comforting the two ladies.

He knew that it was useless to argue. It would do nothing good for him.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the southern branch of the police station of Golden City. When Peter and the two ladies were asked to get out of the car, he noticed that the other six people in the other two cars did not alight.

Peter had already figured out what was happening, but he still asked, "Sir, since we are being accused of affray, why didn't the others come along? You only arrested us, right?"

"Shut your mouth up! How dare you teach me how to deal with crimes?" The head policeman got angry, so he roughly kicked Peter on his buttocks.

Peter could have dodged that kick, but he did not. He let out a little shrill and fell down to the ground, even scratching his left arm in the ground to bleed a little.

"How could you hit me?" Peter shouted angrily.

"Hit you? I just wanted to!" The head policeman felt offended by Peter's questions. He wanted to beat Peter to death. The other policemen saw this and stopped him in a hurry.

"Kid, you just had a taste of what we're going to do to you later!" The head policeman shouted as if he wanted Peter dead.

He was the one who was instructed by Alfred to arrest Peter in the bathhouse. However, he failed to seize Peter last night.

He got upset upon thinking of what had happened last night. His failure to capture Peter had angered Alfred. In addition to that, Peter had been challenging him. The policeman's fury was directed toward Peter. Peter was soon taken to an interrogation room, and the ladies were taken to another.

Within the residential area of the municipal complex, in the big living room, a family of three was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

However, their attention was not on the TV but to the two phones on the tea table.

The elder woman in the family was Grace Feng, who had been rescued by Peter this morning. The younger woman in the room was her daughter, Audrey.

The man in the room was the father of Audrey, James Xie.

James was a handsome middle-aged man with distinct features. He had an upright temperament. One could tell that he was somebody who held a high position. Grace glanced at the phone from time to time, a little bit anxious.

James saw that and said, "Grace, I think that the doctor will not come today. Let's go to bed and wait for him tomorrow, okay?"

James was furious. Some people had dared deceive him and fooled his wife. If he was not worried about Grace not being able to handle the blow, he really wanted to tell her that she had been tricked and that the so-called doctor would never show up.

Grace understood what James was trying to say. She shook her head and said, "No. I'm confident with my gut feeling, and I know a talent when I see one. That young man is not a fraud. He must be busy with his work and is not off duty, yet."

She continued, "What kind of company does Peter work in? He's putting in too many hours. It is already late, yet he is still at work."

Audrey had lost her patience, so she said, "Mom, it is already ten in the evening. Doesn't he have the basic courtesy of calling since he's late? I'm calling him!"

Audrey said that as she took out her phone and dialed Peter's number. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
