The secretary's voice cracked a bit.
Heinrich turned his face and calmly said, "They're talking about me."
The secretary's legs went weak at the sight of this face. He grabbed the detective's collar beside him to barely stay on his feet.
Heinrich! The former deputy minister of SG?!
"How could you provoke him!"
The detective, who had been unsure in the first place, now felt even more insecure. "He said he's Zhu Ning's legal representative..."
The secretary's vision went black. "Heinrich is Zhu Ning's legal representative? Who blocked such a big piece of news?"
The detective was filled with bitterness. "I don't know either. We didn't hear a single piece of news before we came. But this isn't the time to talk about this. Should we arrest this Zhu Ning or not!"
"Of course we should arrest her!"
The secretary took a deep breath. "The deputy governor's order has come down. She must go with us!"
The person in charge of UST immediately stepped forward to block them. "No. No one can take Miss Zhu away!"
"Are you still going to stop me?!" The secretary was enraged. "Didn't I make myself clear enough before? This is the territory of the Wolf's Head Society!"
The detective chimed in from the side. "Traitor! Which side are you on exactly? Zhu Ning is just a foreigner. What are you so afraid of? Come on, everyone, follow me!"
Heinrich stepped forward and calmly blocked in front of Zhu Ning's car. "Who dares!"
The detective and the secretary looked at his face, and hesitation welled up in their hearts again.
The detective said, "Heinrich, I can overlook your repeated interference with my work. But we must take Zhu Ning away. I advise you not to get involved. Otherwise, when the Wolf's Head Society gets angry, you won't be able to handle it!"
The secretary had no idea whether the prestige of the Wolf's Head Society would work on Heinrich.
But among the organizations he knew, the Wolf's Head Society was the most terrifying.
So he also followed suit and said, "Heinrich, this has nothing to do with you. You're just helping Zhu Ning with the lawsuit. You have no obligation to protect her. Why not give our Wolf's Head Society some face? We'll take the person away, and you'll gain the friendship of our Wolf's Head Society. Isn't it a win - win situation?"
"Unnecessary." Heinrich refused straightforwardly.
The secretary was annoyed. "Heinrich, don't be so arrogant! You used to hold a high position and made a lot of money in the law firm. But with your current civilian status, are you sure you can withstand the anger of our Wolf's Head Society? We have an entire organization behind us!"
The detective echoed to boost his courage. "That's right! The Wolf's Head Society is not an ordinary club. The current president is a real power - holder. And do you really think the boss is coming here later to save you? Don't have any illusions. He's on our side and won't care about your life or death. You'd better step aside now. I don't want to see blood!"
Hearing this, Heinrich was not afraid at all. Instead, he took a step forward. "See blood? Do you still want to start a fight?"
As he stepped forward, the secretary and the detective were actually forced to take a step back. "Heinrich, let me tell you. If you still stubbornly oppose us, the worst - case scenario is that neither you nor this Miss Zhu will even have someone to collect your corpses!"
Heinrich stared sharply at him. "What, if I offend your Wolf's Head Society, I'm doomed?"
"You, you'd better know that!" The secretary didn't want to back down anymore. He stood straight on the spot and said, "Heinrich, you should have more time to create more glories, instead of ruining your future because of this momentary impulse. Hand over Zhu Ning, and we'll all be fine. If you don't appreciate it and become our enemy, you'll live the rest of your life under the retaliation of our Wolf's Head Society!"
Screech—
With a sudden emergency brake, the car's headlights shone on everyone. The detective immediately said, "The boss is here! Heinrich, if you still don't agree, he won't help you!"
The person in charge of UST also thought it was bad. If these people really dared to arrest Heinrich and Zhu Ning together, it would probably be very dangerous.
He whispered in a low voice, "Heinrich, why don't you just pretend for a while and let them take Miss Zhu away and then..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he met Heinrich's gloomy and angry gaze and immediately choked. "I didn't mean anything else..."
"No one can take the young lady away."
Heinrich looked in the direction of Philadelphia. "The Wolf's Head Society is not qualified."
Wilson, the top - ranking official in Philadelphia, briefly checked the scene. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was injured. Then he calmly asked, "What's going on? Why did you block Heinrich?"
The detective immediately reported, "Boss, Heinrich stopped us from taking Zhu Ning away!"
Wilson's face changed. He asked Heinrich, "Heinrich... Are you on Zhu Ning's side?"
Heinrich said, "Yes. From now on, I'll be the young lady's most loyal servant."
Wilson's face kept changing. He said anxiously, "Heinrich, there must be some misunderstanding..."
"There's no misunderstanding." Heinrich said, "Your subordinates wanted to arrest me too. They also said that they'd make me and the young lady end up with no one to collect our corpses."
Wilson suddenly turned his head and stared at the detective. "Did you really say that?"
The man was startled by the stare. "I, I..."
The secretary was unhappy. "So what if I said it? He's determined to protect and favor Zhu Ning and go against our Wolf's Head Society. He's our enemy. You should arrest him right now!"
"Right!" The detective said, "He's determined to go against the Wolf's Head Society. We should arrest them right now and lock them up..."
Wilson's temples throbbed. "Shut up..."
The secretary complained, "Is it really that difficult for you to arrest a person? Do you also want to be an enemy of our Wolf's Head Society?"
"Shut... up..."
The detective roared, "I didn't expect that even you, Wilson, are afraid of Heinrich. Then we don't count on you anymore. Come on, let's do it ourselves. Capture Heinrich and give him to the Wolf's Head Society as a greeting gift! Charge—ah!"
Wilson kicked the man to the ground. He looked around angrily and roared, "I told you to shut up!"
"Wilson, you're also going to go against our Wolf's Head Society!"
"Boss, are you also going to offend the Wolf's Head Society?" The detective couldn't understand. "Boss, what on earth are you afraid of? Just arrest this Heinrich. The Wolf's Head Society will back us up. What's there to be afraid of!"
The secretary also said, "Wilson, I understand your concerns because the one on the other side is Heinrich. I'm willing to give you another chance. Now order to arrest them all together. Our Wolf's Head Society will forgive your previous betrayal!"
The detective advised again, "Boss, this is a chance for you. You should seize it! Just arrest Heinrich. Hurry up and do it!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Wilson's patience had reached its limit. He kicked the detective in the chest and then punched the secretary hard in the face in front of his shocked eyes. He roared, "Your Wolf's Head Society is nothing!"
"Mr. Heinrich is the vice - chairman of the Skull and Bones Society!"
