"We will discuss it seriously."

“It’s all for the good of the city and the common good.”

"You're right, Charlie...see you later,"

White and Yevich were about to leave, but Li Zitao held White alone.

"I hate people who disrespect elders. That boy named Andrew, you'd better keep him away from you."

"Got it, thank you, Charlie."

With difficulty, he raised his palm and patted his arm. White left with the support of people and crutches.

Perhaps, the next time I see him, he will be in a wheelchair.

"Where is Barton?" After sending the two of them off, Li Zitao wanted to arrange everything as soon as possible.

When everything is on track, he can go home and reunite with his wife.

"Already on the way, expected to arrive tomorrow night."

"Very well, send our people to pick him up and ensure his safety."

Li Zitao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The nights in Chicago are not very peaceful."

…

Two days later, Barton, personally accompanied by Li Zitao, came to the city hall.

The investigation on him has already concluded.

At this time, Li Zitao wanted to take him to see White, if there was no problem.

He will be able to officially announce his appointment tomorrow morning.

"Hi, we have an appointment with Council Speaker White."

Looking behind the front desk, there is a young girl wearing glasses and uniform, about 179cm tall.

There was something different in Li Zitao's eyes.

She looks young and cute.

Has a typical oriental appearance,

Delicate skin.

He is tall and has clear eyes, just what Li Zitao likes.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Charlie Lee."

Hearing his name, the assistant was obviously startled, and hurriedly smoothed his long hair and said: "Sorry, sir, I didn't know it was you... you look too young."

"The Speaker of the Council has given instructions that if you arrive, no notification is required."

The assistant said as he invited them to walk towards the office at the end of the corridor.

"Thank you. You look beautiful. Can I know your name?"

"Sharon, my name is Sharon."

"Sharon, have we met before?"

"I don't think so."

"That's such a shame, maybe we should meet up sometime."

When she opened the door and walked into White's office, Sharon was already amused by Li Zitao and beamed with joy.

However, his good mood was soon disrupted.

Because there is another secretary in White's room.

He is black, very fat, and looks very unfriendly.

The key is that every time she speaks, her voice sounds like she's holding in a mouthful of phlegm.

Listening to her talk, it felt like he was about to choke to death.

"White, can we talk in person?"

Li Zitao interrupted the assistant's conversation. He didn't want to be so rude.

But the other person's voice was really intolerable to him.

If he continues, he will be unable to help but turn around and leave.

"OK, let's talk in person."

After letting the assistant go out, Li Zitao, White, and Barton started talking face to face.

"I read your information, Barton."

"You can tell you're a tough guy, and that's what Chicago and we need."

White spoke positively of him and sounded like he admired him.

But this is just the beginning.

If he wants to gain the respect of others, Barton needs to fight for it through his own efforts.

"I think we all hope Patton announces his appointment as soon as possible, which is to everyone's benefit."

"Also, I'm taking him to the Fraternal Order of Police club tonight."

This is Li Zitao expressing his eagerness to White, and it also means that he is serious about this matter.

"Okay, if that's the case, I don't have any problems here!"

White looked much better today than yesterday. At least during the conversation, he was not heard coughing.

I don’t know if his health has improved or if he is using drugs to control it.

"Very well, your people will prepare the formalities and ceremonies. I will take him away now."

Li Zitao stood up and looked at Barton, who was still confused, and said, "We are very busy today."

…

Take Barton to the Police Club on the edge of the city.

When he opened the door, Li Zitao heard deafening applause, and the entire club was filled with police officers.

Everyone stood up and welcomed his arrival with a warm smile.

"see it?"

Li Zitao said to Barton who was obviously shocked beside him: "From now on, they are your people."

…

"I think there's hope for this city and its future is bright."

"This is not the way it should be, past, present or future..."

"We should have faith in this city and believe that everything will get better, because I'm here."

Patton's inaugural speech was full of passion, and combined with his powerful movements and resolute face, people saw hope.

However, this hope was short-lived.

After they get involved in work and life, they will soon forget it.

Patton had to let people realize that he was serious.

Rather than just talking like other politicians.

So, on the second day after taking office, he organized a police raid.

All the police in Chicago were on the move.

There is no cheating, no excuses or feelings.

All disorderly neighborhoods, especially black and ghetto areas, were swept away.

In just one day, the Chicago Detention Center was full of people.

The cases lined up for hearing in the court are already six months away.

This operation quickly dealt a blow to the criminals' arrogance.

But it also angered the gangs who suffered heavy losses in this operation.

Five days later, a building in the south of the city was set on fire late at night, and all exits were blocked.

When the fire was extinguished, there were only countless charred bodies in the building.

A total of 40 people died in this incident, almost all of them young people.

In an instant, the eyes of the whole world turned to this sinful city.

There seemed to be a huge force on Barton's shoulders, falling from the sky, weighing him down until he could hardly breathe.

The FBI and the Crime Squad began taking over the case.

At the same time, Patton was also criticized, and some people began to question his tenure.

This matter is no longer just a local case in Chicago, but a major case that has caused a sensation across the United States.

Several members of Congress called and asked Patton to give them an explanation.

The police chief's fate was all but sealed.

The only thing that greets him is taking the blame and resigning, which is the best situation.

For a moment, it seemed as if dark clouds were descending on Chicago, and the air became heavy.

But no matter what, the most important thing now is to find the suspect and give the public an explanation.

At the same time, Li Zitao also received a call from White.

"White, White...old friend, don't be so anxious, everything is under control."

Li Zitao sat in the study and said to him with a heavy expression.

"Charlie, 40 people have died. Are you sure you have everything under control?"

"Yes, this is not an ordinary arson case. Someone is dealing with us. They are coming for me."
