The conversation with the director was only a short ten minutes, but Jack felt as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden at this
time. He was very clear about the Mayor’s intention to let him retire early, even if he did not directly dump the pot on him, but in
the eyes of the public, he was still the one who took the fall and to let himself retire early is to punish him.
At that time and then rendering his contribution to New York, subliminally release a message to the people, that is “Although from
Mr. Li, this time, things are not very good, but this man reserved all his dedication for the New York citizens for many years, not
that he thinks he is wrong this time so he has requested early retirement.”
For his hard work and dedication to the community all his life, don’t be too hard on him. Generally speaking, the people are
eating this up. This is like the dedicated security guard in his own community who has worked for half his life.
He has spent half his life doing his best to protect the security of the community and then accidentally let in a group of thieves
when he was about to retire, who can blame him for anything?
Thinking of this, Jack’s heart admired this mayor immensely. This mayor has also been a police officer for 22 years and his
methods are very powerful.
This time, he is borrowing himself to come up with a four-two-shoot.
With so much public anger, it is only by throwing himself out to play the emotion card and take the pity route so that he can
overcome the strong with softness. For Jack himself, although this tactic will make him feel doubly humiliated, right now he has
no other choice. So, he picked up the walkie-talkie and gave his last order as a detective, that all the members of the special
team immediately withdraw from the Joules Group headquarters building.
The withdrawal of the special team officially announced the failure of this arrest operation.
Media reporters were waiting for the police spokesman to come out and explain the situation and Jack, who was more than ten
years older, then stepped in front of all the media reporters. At this moment, countless reporters with long guns and short
cannons, trying their best to loudly raise their various questions to him.
He stretched out his hands to indicate everyone to quiet down, then opened his mouth and said, “I’m sorry to take up your time
as well as the Joules Group’s time our arrest operation has been declared a failure due to intelligence and decision-making
errors, now the special operations team has been withdrawn, the Joules Group will be able to resume normal office order
immediately.”
The media reporters still want to ask questions, while Jack directly spoke “I know what you want to ask, this time the failure is
mainly on me, I recently suffered a great negative impact on my body and spirit, coupled with the age has also been too old,
really not very suitable to continue, to be responsible for such a major case, so I have requested from Mayor Adams and applied
for early retirement.”
When the media reporters on the scene heard this, they were stunned and dumbfounded. No one expected that this detective,
who had always had a very good reputation, would suddenly announce his early retirement.
Jack said with a face of shame “About the recent cases that happened in New York, I am personally sorry, I failed to anticipate
the crime and terminate it in advance.
It is my failure as a police officer, here I want to say sorry to the people of New York and the whole United States!”
After saying that, he faced the camera and made a deep bow.
Then, without waiting for the media reporters to ask questions, he turned around and left the scene in a car under the cover of
several police officers.
Soon, the news of Jack’s announcement of early retirement was reported through the major media. Charlie, who was quietly
watching Stefanie’s rehearsal, also received the push of this news.
Seeing this message, his expression was slightly surprised, but soon returned to normal.
He and Jack have no grievances, from the heart he did not want him to retire early in this way, but the matter of Patrick makes
the two stand on the actual opposite side, so the conflict can not be unified, among the two one has to be the party to bear the
bitter fruit of failure in this matter, Charlie naturally does not want it to be himself. Moreover, Jack has already checked the clues
to Hogan’s restaurant, now early retirement in Charlie’s opinion, is a good thing, at least he will not subsequently bring too much
pressure on Hogan.
