Chapter 435 - The Chief Is Going Crazy

The two police officers were practically suicidal at this point. They couldn't fathom how they hadn't recognized her. If it weren't for their initial intention to investigate her background and discuss the "seriousness" of the matter with her parents, they wouldn't have discovered that she was the legendary genius director and the granddaughter of the owner of Moran Group!

But when they saw the information displayed on the computer screen, they were shocked beyond words.

"What should we do next?"

"What should we do? I'd like to know what we should do! Who can tell me what to do?" The chief was on the verge of losing his mind. He knew that some of his subordinates found ways to earn extra money. Being in their line of work, with low pay and constant danger, they needed additional income just to afford a ring for their girlfriends.

However, there was a limit to how they could earn extra money, and they shouldn't be doing it like this!

If this matter got out, not only would external media criticize them, but just one article from Moran Media could make their lives miserable.

"Let's first find a way to appease the young lady. I'll see if someone influential can mediate this situation." At this point, he had no choice but to seek help from someone with more influence.

"All right, we'll try to appease her!" The two police officers quickly nodded in agreement.

As for their method of appeasement... it involved ordering takeout from a restaurant they knew Laila liked and providing complimentary drinks.

The chief, who was busy making phone calls to contain the situation, couldn't have imagined that his subordinates would be so foolish as to do this. Did they think Laila would care about having a meal with them? And it was cheap fast food!

But what angered him even more than this incident was when the delivery guy, with a look of surprise and shock, recognized Laila when he delivered the food to her. If he had a camera with him, he would have surely asked for a photo with her.

However, he was satisfied with getting her autograph, which was enough for him to brag about outside. It was Laila Moran, after all! Hollywood's most famous and talented director! He not only happily obtained her autograph but also displayed his "outstanding" acting skills, just in case it would impress her in the future and help him achieve success, like Roy Seasonstar.

So, the delivery guy enthusiastically shared the story with everyone and proudly showed off the autograph he had just received.

This discovery immediately caught the attention of those with sharp minds who knew how to make money. Laila Moran was at the police station, and she was even in an interrogation room.

What on earth had caused her to end up here? Whether she was here to bail someone out or waiting to be rescued, it was definitely a sensational news story. If she was bailing someone out, who did she know that had been arrested?

And if she was waiting to be rescued, why had she been arrested in the first place?

Everyone knew that despite the numerous news stories surrounding Laila, the public's impression of her was overwhelmingly positive. She was like every parent's ideal child, someone who didn't pick fights didn't stay out late, and didn't frequent dangerous places. Besides her unwavering dedication to her work, even the most diligent paparazzi couldn't dig up any negative habits or scandals about her.

So, why had this exceptionally clean and almost angelic person ended up in the police station's interrogation room?

In a very short period, the news of Laila being in the police station spread like wildfire among the journalists, who had keen instincts. Some received information from their sources, while others heard it from friends. Regardless, everyone who got wind of the news dropped whatever they were doing and rushed to the police station to get the scoop.

"Chief, we've got a problem!"

A police officer rushed into the chief's office in a state of panic.

The chief, who was still on the phone, already had a belly full of anger and couldn't vent it. He immediately yelled at the intruder, "What problem could be worse than what I'm dealing with right now? Don't you know that the office has a door for a reason, so you can knock on it, not just barge in?"

The officer anxiously replied, "Chief, it's the reporters! There are many reporters outside, and they all want to know why Director Moran was arrested and brought to the police station."

He put it mildly, but a more accurate description would be that the police station was on the verge of being besieged by reporters. If it weren't for their fellow officers tirelessly blocking the entrance, the elevators might have been broken from the pressure.

The chief was on the verge of losing his mind.

"Reporters? How did the reporters find out? Weren't those two idiots supposed to be appeasing Moran?!"

"Them? It seems like they've been sitting outside the whole time," the officer replied honestly.

"What you're saying is that those two idiots' idea of appeasing Moran was to leave her alone in an interrogation room?" The chief was shocked and could hardly believe that his subordinates could be so foolish.

The officer wisely refrained from saying more. He was glad that the chief's anger was not directed at him, and as for the two people outside, they could deal with the trouble they had brought upon themselves.

"Yes, they ordered fast food for Director Moran and just left her in the interrogation room. Oh, and Mr. Victor was in there for a while before."

"Victor?" The chief furrowed his brow. "Who's Victor?"

"He's a real estate businessman, and he's said to be very wealthy. He's trying to develop a piece of land, but that land currently belongs to Director Moran."

The officer looked at the chief's increasingly dark expression and chose not to share more details. He feared that if he continued talking, his boss's blood vessels might burst on the spot.

Victor wanted the same piece of land that Moran owned, and Moran ended up being arrested. Considering the usual actions of the two detectives who had caused this mess, how could the chief not guess what had happened?

"Those two idiots! After this is over, I'll personally strip them of their police uniforms!"
