Chapter 21 Sean Mason’s Special Status
At the time.
Golf course in the western suburbs of Hilshire.
“We haven’t played with each other for more than half a month. Mr. Young, you’re really getting better at it. I’m afraid I’ll never be able to beat you again.”
Carter Moore sat on the sofa under the umbrella, put down his cue and made two cups of hot tea.
Next to him sat a middle-aged man.
None other than Luke Young, Hilshire’s police chief.
“You’re being too modest.”
Luke Young shook his head and laughed, “You taught me all my golf skills. Speaking of which, I should call you teacher. I am not blind. How can I not see that you are deliberately letting me win?”
Carter Moore had done a lot to get Luke Young where he was. So he was very grateful to Carter Moore, and he always looked up to him.
Which was why Carter Moore could easily get him out.
“You were born to be a cop. You got sharp eyes.”
Carter Moore smiled and complimented him, then cut to the chase, “Did you get the stuff I asked you to look into?”
“Do you mean…”
Luke Young frowned, “Sean Mason? Didn’t Isaac already go to the Hilshire Detention Center to check his profile and criminal detention? Is there something wrong with it?”
Isaac was able to go to the Hilshire Detention Center to check information about the detainees and choose Sean because of Luke Young’s connections.
“Well, it’s a long story.”
Carter Moore’s face turned serious as he briefly explained to Luke Young what had happened at the engagement party this morning.
“What?”
Luke Young looked startled, “So you’re telling me that kid had the nerve to beat up Isaac in front of everyone and embarrass you at the engagement party?”
“Yes.”
Carter Moore nodded, “Wild, untamed, and highly violent. I fear that keeping such a dangerous man in the Moore family will be a disaster sooner or later.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Moreover, if he were to go out and cause trouble, murder and arson, he would be a danger to Hilshire society.”
Carter Moore was a crafty old man.
He wanted to use Luke Young’s hand to get rid of Sean, but he didn’t want to make it hard for Luke Young and make him be accused of favoritism. So, he took Sean’s threat directly to the social level.
This made him suddenly look righteous.
The implication was that I was doing this not just for myself, for the Moore family, but for the people of Hilshire. You were the director of the municipal Public Security Bureau, and it was your duty to maintain public order…
How could Luke Young say no?
Luke Young, also a smart guy, understood immediately what Carter Moore was driving at. “What are you going to do about it?” He asked.
“How about this?”
Carter Moore pondered, then said quietly, “When I got back, I will assign a few men to watch his every move. If he does anything drastic, I’ll call you. When the time comes, you will take him and put him back in prison.”
“Okay!”
Luke Young said yes without thinking, feeling sorry for Sean in his heart.
He who had a mind to beat his dog would easily find a stick.
It was so easy for Carter Moore to try to pin a false accusation on Sean.
The only thing to blame was Sean being too sharp, being ungrateful, being on the wrong side. He helped Cecilia and turned against Carter Moore.
“Can you track down the victim Sean raped five years ago?”
Carter Moore asked suddenly.
Luke Young shook his head, “Strange to say, all the officers who had been in charge of the case had left Hilshire without a trace. All we know is that Sean was in prison for rape, but for the rest of it, there’s nothing on the file.”
“How is that possible?”
Carter Moore’s pupils were constricted. He clearly didn’t believe it.
Luke Young said gravely, “In my past experience, there are usually only two possibilities.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Either at least one of the parties is special, or the case itself is special. As a result, the detailed dossier was classified, and people who were not classified enough could only see a simplified version with important information removed. It might even be a fake file.”
“Really?”
Carter Moore’s pupils constricted and tightened. He frowned and his eyes were cold.
Isaac was responsible for the engagement selection for Cecilia at the Hilshire Detention Center. He had thought it a trivial matter, and had not taken it to heart.
Who would have thought Isaac would pick a “freak” like Sean Mason?
The files were encrypted…
Was Sean something special?
Or was the case five years ago unusual?
Carter Moore would have been shocked to learn that his granddaughter Cecilia was the victim and Sean was the Young Mr. Mason of the Capital City, the General Wolf of the North.
“In my opinion, Sean Mason is probably…”
Luke Young was meticulous and experienced, and seemed to have guessed something. He was about to speak, but just then he was interrupted by the shrill ring of a mobile phone.
It was Carter Moore’s cell phone.
“Let me take this call first.”
Carter Moore stood up, took out his phone and looked at it. When he saw the number of the HR manager of the Moore Group, he looked unhappy.
A small department manager, with Isaac and Dylan in the middle, was usually not qualified to speak to him directly.
“You have thirty minutes.”
But he hesitated, and finally pressed the answer button, saying, “What?”
“Mr. Moore, we have an incident! Something big is going on!”
A panicked male voice could be heard on the phone, “Mr. Roberts, Mr. Backer, and Mr. Brown, with more than a hundred men, burst into the office and smashed everything they saw…”
“What?!”
For a moment, Carter Moore’s eyes were wide open, his eyes wide open. He was very furious.
His hand shook and he almost dropped his phone.
“Mr. Moore, what happened?”
Luke Young followed him to his feet, and as soon as he saw Carter Moore’s reaction, he knew it wasn’t good. Before Carter Moore could answer, however, another shrill cell phone rang.
This time, it was Luke Young’s phone.
Luke Young answered immediately, “Jack, what’s going on?”
“Mr. Young!”
The same anxious voice of a man came from the phone, “I just got 18 reports in a row from the Moore Group. They said that Aiden Roberts of the Roberts Group, Thomas Backer of BD Technology, and Cameron Brown of Sunlight Building Materials, with about 150 security guards, were making a scene at the Moore Group. The case is very serious and the situation is very critical…”
“The Moore Group?”
Luke Young’s heart thumped and he realized something wrong. Now, Carter Moore didn’t have to tell him what was going on.
