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 !!"

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!"

Then, the swarm of people gathered around Harley started hurling their fists at him.

Subconsciously, Harley raised his hand to defend himself, but he accidentally exerted too much force. The man who had tried to hit him fell two steps backwards. Harley was startled and then tried to hold him in a hurry.

Fortunately, the man only took two steps back but failed to fall to the ground.

Unexpectedly, the man deliberately sat down on the ground and shouted, "Come and see, everyone! A policeman is beating us up!"

His words ignited more hatred. More people rushed over towards him in waves, punching and kicking Harley.

Harley was still at the entrance of the police station. Although he was strong, he no longer dared to fight back due to the situation that had occurred just then.

He could only protect his head and shout, "Everyone, please calm down! We are investigating this matter. Please give us some time!"

"Give you some time? You're deceiving us! You're waiting for us to forget about this and then you'll cover it up! Since you've dared to hit us today, it means that you aren't a good person after all!" Harley gritted his teeth and his fists trembled slightly.

Someone shouted again, "You still want to hit us, don't you? That punch just now wasn't enough for you, eh? You still want to hit us? Come on, do it! If you have the ability, then just beat us up! It's better for you to kill us all! That way, no one will be able to tell other people about what you did!"

Harley put down his clenched fist as he was still wearing his uniform and he could not act recklessly.

He could not smear the reputation of the police!

Just as that thought popped into his mind, the man who had shouted just now took another step forwards and punched Harley in the face.

"Since you're not punching us, then I'll hit you instead! I'll avenge the people who have been hurt by you!"

Upon seeing the scene unfold, the swarm of protestors all joined in. Soon, Harley was drowned by the crowd!

After Amos finished talking to Eudora, he prepared to call Harley to ask about the situation on his end.

However, his phone had been switched off. As soon as he opened the news, he saw the news of the public's protest in front of the police station. It had taken place at the entrance of Harley's workplace.

The situation had turned out just as Amos had expected, The consequences that Harley was suffering was much more serious than his own. Amos immediately got up and drove away, leaving his residence.

He drove speedily towards the police station.

When he arrived there, the peak of the protest had just started. Harley was surrounded by a group of people, getting punched and kicked. Harley's colleagues had come out and tried to stop the crowd.

However, before they could do anything about it, someone immediately shouted, claiming that all who govern are the same, and none of them were good people.

The faces of Harley's colleagues darkened as they truly wanted to help Harley, but how could they stop the protestors with just their bare hands? Thus, they froze for a moment. Several of his colleagues had even gotten beaten up!

Reality had proven that no matter how strong and skilled they were, if they did not retaliate the attacks, then they would not be able to win.

In a fit of anger, Amos directly drove the car towards the crowd and tried to separate the crowd.

He was not a policeman, so he had no other worries. With a little more force, the crowd quickly parted.

When he finally reached Harley, the man was on the verge of collapsing.

Harley laid on the ground with blood all over his face. However, those people still hit him as hard as they could, as if they were venting out all of their displeasure in life on him. Amos gritted his teeth and pulled the person, who was still punching Harley, away.

He yelled, "Stop it!"
