Seeing this person, Henry Walker seemed to see the arrogant smile he wore when he was detained at the police station; seeing him, Henry Walker was reminded of the time he left Westbrook Township in disgrace, covered in dust, and this guy had led a group of local thugs to set off firecrackers to "send him off" in celebration.

Those humiliating scenes made the anger in Henry Walker's heart flare up. Watching William Carter stride quickly toward him, he hurriedly got out of the car.

Although William Carter's official rank wasn't high—not even a deputy section chief—within all of Westbrook Township, he was definitely the kind of figure who could make the whole township tremble with a single stomp of his foot. Which of the local hooligans and punks in Westbrook Township didn't bow and scrape before him, acting like cowed grandsons?

As the chief of the Westbrook Township police station, trivial matters like a car accident were far beneath his attention. It was only because he happened to be idle at the station today, and heard a report from the public that a car had crashed into a tree, that he was initially indifferent. But as soon as he heard the license plate involved, he jumped up as if his seat was on fire!

The Westbrook Township government only had one car, and of course William Carter would never forget its license plate. Originally, this car was driven by his sworn brother, the township chief Samuel Carter, but ever since that damn Party Secretary sent from above arrived, Samuel Carter had handed the car over. Although Brother Carter had smiled cheerfully when handing over the keys, there was one time, drinking in private, when Samuel Carter smashed two wine glasses over it.

A car hitting a tree shouldn't have been a big deal, but for some reason, William Carter's sensitive nerves kept giving him the vague feeling that an opportunity had arrived!

With his trusted men in tow, William Carter rushed to the scene. Through the jeep's window, he immediately saw Henry Walker and the township Party and Government Office staffer Grace Dawson sitting inside. In that instant, memories of many past cases flashed through his mind like lightning, jolting him awake: a bold idea suddenly sprang up!

How did this Henry Walker get out of the car? As William Carter strode forward to greet him and saw Henry Walker stepping out, he was startled! But as an experienced old police officer, he instantly came up with a countermeasure.

Opportunities are like drifting clouds, floating by—if you don't seize them, they're gone in a flash! Such a good chance absolutely couldn't be missed! Hardening his resolve, William Carter stepped right up to Henry Walker, and with a mocking tone said, "Secretary Wang, you sure are in high spirits today, playing around in the car!"

Having made up his mind, William Carter was ready to slap the label of "improper relations between men and women" on Henry Walker as soon as he responded. Once that kind of filth stuck, there would be no way to clear his name, and his reputation would be ruined!

Looking at the insincere smile on William Carter's face, Henry Walker was startled. Back then, when William Carter framed him, he had also started with a leading remark like this. But now, there was a subtle difference: back then, it was said to him inside the car; now, he was already standing outside.

Reborn into this life, was all he had achieved just getting from inside the car to outside? No, I absolutely can't let this guy pull the same trick again!

Thoughts racing, Henry Walker looked at William Carter's greasy, grinning face, and without hesitation, slapped him hard across the face: "Fuck your mother, you're the one with high spirits!" After shouting this, Henry Walker felt his mind become exceptionally clear—no, it was running at lightning speed.

"What kind of police chief are you? Don't just sit there doing nothing—if you can't do your job, get lost! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged men around!"

"If you can't solve cases, I won't blame you—there are many reasons for that. But if you can't even teach the people basic traffic rules, that's an attitude problem!"

"There are so many of you at the police station, and you can't even properly promote traffic rules—what the hell do you do all day?"

Without another word, Henry Walker started with a slap, leaving William Carter completely stunned. The following barrage of curses made William Carter's back go cold: could it be that Henry Walker had suffered a concussion in the crash? He had never seen Henry Walker act like this before!

A top leader—what is a top leader? That's someone who can take your official cap off at any time. Technically, the staffing and promotions at their police station were managed by the county bureau, but if the township Party Secretary went to the county leaders and insisted on transferring you, you basically couldn't stay here.

"William Carter, this week, don't do anything else—just go teach the people some basic traffic knowledge. If you don't, I'll charge you with dereliction of duty and strip you of your position!" With that, Henry Walker opened the car door, turned the key, and the jeep roared to life. Its wheels churned up the bumpy dirt road, sending a cloud of dust all over William Carter.

Staring blankly at the rapidly departing jeep, William Carter didn't react for a long time. As a police chief with a background in criminal investigation, William Carter's reflexes were usually first-rate.
