Shadow Empire

Chapter 528 Bad Mood [Too lazy to think about cultivating the mind ID.333+2]
After Charlie walked out of the City Hall, several plainclothes "candidate directors" in the parking lot immediately dropped the cigarettes in their hands and stood up straight.

Charlie enjoyed facing these burning gazes.

This is why he would rather accept the obviously insulting nickname of "Hound" and work so hard to climb up.

If you have never been stepped on by others, you will not know the joy and satisfaction of stepping on others.

He nodded slightly, "Okay, I don't know how the mayor will choose, as for who of you will choose..."

He paused, looked around again, and said, "Then do as we say."

Replace all positions with their true selves and run the police force into their, or Charlie's, private paradise!
Someone opened the car door for Charlie, and he got in, still keeping his head held high. The car started slowly, drove out of the city hall parking lot, blended into the traffic, and disappeared.

The whole afternoon was a torture for these people, until Chief Blue showed up at the police station a little after three in the afternoon.

Quite a few people knew him, after all, he was a graduate of the police academy and a middle-level officer in the police force.

The police academy students who come after him will try to visit these old alumni to see if there is any opportunity to get a higher starting point.

In addition, he is the chief of the Imperial District Police Station and attends the annual police conference. It is absolutely impossible for anyone not to know him!

Even the new police officers who have joined the police force know him, because didn’t he become famous again recently?
The chief of the Forest Police Bureau, except for those who applied directly for the position and graduated from the police academy, everyone knows what the Forest Police Bureau does.

To be transferred to the Forest Police Bureau, one must have offended the highest level of the Jingang City Police Force to receive such treatment.

So they were very curious, why did Chief Blue, who had been "exiled", suddenly come to the police station?
Someone greeted him with a smile, "Hi, Chief Blue, is there anything I can do for you?"

After all, he is a colleague in the police force and a chief at that, so he must be much more senior than the lowest-level police officers.

Director Blue shook his head. He was dressed very formally today, but what no one noticed was that he was not wearing the forest police uniform, but the Jingang City urban police uniform.

"I'll wait here for a moment, someone will come over later."

The others went about finding their own things to do, but someone notified the candidates for director who were waiting for the appointment results in the conference room.

They and Director Blue are old acquaintances. They were all good friends when Charlie was in office, but now they are obviously no longer good friends.

Several people came out of the office and saw Director Blue sitting in the corner in the hall and walked over.

"The alligator is gone?"

"Or did a bear attack the police station?"

What seemed like a joking greeting was actually a condescending dialogue with a slightly veiled insult. They regarded Blue, Duke, and those who approached Lance as traitors to the police force.

These people betrayed them and made the police force no longer a united whole in the eyes of others!
The way Chief Blue looked at them was different than before, with a sense of superiority, an attitude that was superior to them.

This kind of look made them very unhappy. Did the director of a forest police station really think of himself as the "director"?

Chief Blue is also on their purge list. They will find a crime to put him on and send him and his deputy Duke to jail.

This kind of thing is easy for the police; fabricating evidence is what they are best at.

All they had to do was put a bag of contraband in Chief Blue's car, give the court a heads-up, and everything would be done.

Everyone knows what happens if a policeman, who was once a police chief, is put in a public prison.

There's no way they'll get out alive.

At this time, because of Chief Blue's eyes, the silent atmosphere was somewhat solidified. The police working in the hall also noticed the abnormality here, and the noisy sounds seemed to become a little smaller.

One of the candidates for director lost his temper and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Are you planning to resign, or do you want to ask for our forgiveness?"

Director Blue looked at his former good friend and old colleague. There was some pity in his eyes at first, and then it was full of disgust. "I'm here to wait for someone," he told the truth.

"Waiting for whom?" asked his old colleague.

Just as Chief Blue was about to say something, he saw two City Hall staff members coming in from the corner of his eye. He smiled a little more and stood up. "The person I'm waiting for is here."

The others also looked towards the door. They certainly knew that the two men were staff members of the City Hall, but what they didn’t understand was what was the relationship between Chief Blue and these two people?
Aren't they supposed to be... here to announce the appointment of the city police chief?
But no matter what, several people came over with Director Blue, and the two seemed to know some of them.

One of them asked, "Who is Mr. Blue?"

Under the stunned gazes of others, Blue walked out of the crowd, approached the two people, stretched out his hand and shook hands with them, "I am Blue."

"Very good, Mr. Blue. On behalf of the mayor, I now appoint you as the chief of the Jingang City Police Department. Here is the appointment letter. You need to sign it."

They took out a document and handed it to Blue, who immediately took out a pen and signed his name on the horizontal bar with slightly trembling hands.

After checking the signature, the City Hall staff smiled and shook his hand again, "Congratulations, Chief Blue."

"Thank you, thank you!" His voice was trembling. Lance once asked him if he wanted to be the director. He dreamed of it, but he knew it was impossible!

To become the director of the General Administration, what is needed is not personal ability, but connections, money, power, and background!

As it happens, he doesn't have any!

Only the Bay Area can decide who the director is, not anything else.

But now, what Lance said actually came true. He was so excited that he almost lost control of his emotions, and his eyes were getting hot and red.

"Sorry..." He rubbed his eyes to make himself look better, "I'll ask them to bring some coffee."

The two city hall staff seemed to have expected this. “Don’t bother, we have other things to do. Just hand over the appointment letter to you.”

"We'll have a chance to meet again in the future."

"Well...goodbye, Chief Blue!"

"Goodbye, thank you!"

After he saw the two off, he returned to the police station. At this time, the entire lobby on the first floor of the police station was very quiet. Only the phones that were ringing but not answered were still ringing.

Director Blue looked at the stunned director candidates with a hint of amusement and indifference in his eyes. Then he looked away and frowned slightly, "What are you staring at? Get on with your work!"

The lobby on the first floor was bustling again in an instant, but their emotions at this moment were completely different from those a minute ago!

There was only one voice echoing in everyone's mind -

Something fucking terrible happened!

Chief Blue directly transferred a group of police officers from the Imperial Branch. The Chief of the City Police Department, that is, the Chief of the City General Administration, has absolute power to appoint personnel to the police force and does not require anyone's consent.

This is definitely a great thing for his old subordinates, as it means that their status and power in the police force will become greater.

But for Charlie's diehard fans, this is devastating news!

While questioning the decision, they frantically contacted Charlie.

Charlie was talking to the Bay Area masters about Hunter's death and some subsequent changes.

The ownership of the police force plays a very important role in safeguarding the rights and interests of the Bay Area. In addition, if they need to deal with some dirty work, they also need the police to help them cover up, so the change of power of the police department is also very important to them.

When Charlie was discussing when Jingang could be restored to its former state, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

The gentlemen in the room stopped talking. This was an exclusive club and the people in the club would not disturb them unless it was necessary.

A secretary-like character standing in the corner walked to the door, opened it and walked out, then came back soon, "Senator Charlie, there's a call from a gentleman named..., I need you to answer it."

Charlie was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. He looked at several big figures in the Bay Area in front of him, including Mr. Hof, and said, "It must be the appointment from City Hall."

"This... is my old subordinate. Like Hunter, he has always worked for me and the Bay Area, but he is not as famous as Hunter."

"I can assure you that after he takes over, everything will remain the same and nothing will change!"

The gentlemen in the Bay Area all smiled and said, "Yes, Charlie, you are our most trusted partner. We are confident in your work."

"Go answer the phone. Your subordinate has something extremely joyful to share with you. You should be with him, in his moment of joy!"

Charlie stood up and bowed slightly, "Then I'll be leaving for a while."

He said this with a smile on his face as he turned and left, going to a room prepared for him and answering the phone that had been placed next to it.

"It's me, Charlie. Has the appointment been made?"

His tone seemed relaxed, but then the receiver slipped from his hand.

He hurriedly picked up the receiver in a panic and couldn't help asking, "What did you just say?"

"Mr. Charlie, the appointment has come down. The traitor Blue has become the new director!"

Charlie was stunned for a moment, then he slowly put down the receiver and let the "Hello" sound continue to ring.

His face slowly began to turn redder and redder, and finally he suddenly raised the receiver in his hand and threw it hard to the ground!

The ivory component separated from the mahogany handle in an instant and shattered to the ground.

Just like Chief Charlie’s mood at this moment!
