Chapter 1007 James Has Been Arrested

James’ caring tone warmed Ashlyn's heart. “I'm fine.”

Lucas patted the back of James' hand and disclosed, “Aside from Spencer, who only suffered minor injuries, a few

of my subordinates were impaired.”

“The city council will definitely issue a pension for them,” replied James hastily. “Last night was incredibly

dangerous. You two really...”

Joseph was feeling similarly emotional and lightly punched Lucas. “What the heck's wrong with you? Why didn't you

tell me?”

“It was too dangerous—” Before Lucas could finish his sentence, a few armed police officers barged into the office

and quickly surrounded the group.

Lucas frowned and glared at the police captain who had aided him the night before. “What's the meaning of this?”

“I'm sorry. I'm just doing my job,” the captain apologized resignedly before turning to James and instructing, “Take

him away!”

The moment he ended his sentence, two officers approached and handcuffed James.

In an instant, the tension in the room became so thick that one could cut the air with a knife.

Everyone was bewildered by the scene unfolding before their eyes.

Even the police chief exclaimed in disbelief, “What are you doing, Captain Lewis? Why are you apprehending Mr.

Field?” Why did he come in here with armed officers, ignore me, the police chief, and arrest Mr Field? What's going

on?

Lucas stepped forward and blocked the captain's path. "Please clarify the situation, Captain Lewis.”

"I'm only responsible for arresting him. If you want to know more, you'll have to wait for the higher-up's

announcement." Rykard Lewis was troubled by the issue as well. It's a lot of pressure for me to arrest the mayor of

Lake City, okay?

“Did you know what you did to warrant this, Dad?” Joseph asked anxiously before turning to Rykard. “My dad is an

upstanding man. Did you make a mistake?”

“No,” replied Rykard gloomily. I'm a police captain. There's no way I'd make a rookie mistake like this.

He glanced at his deputy, who immediately stepped forward and showed everyone an arrest warrant. “This is the

warrant from the higher-ups to apprehend James Field. Everyone, please take a look.”

When Joseph saw the red seal on the paper, he paled and struggled to breathe. “No! My dad didn't do anything

wrong! You can't take him away!”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Field, but this order is from the higher-ups. Neither you nor I can do anything about it.” Rykard sighed

and turned to James. “If you have anything you want to say, do it quick. We'll come again in five minutes.”

Then, he left the office with his subordinates.

“I'll help you unearth the truth behind this matter, James,” Ashlyn uttered with a grim expression. This matter is

most unusual. It happened so abruptly that it caught us all by surprise. There wasn't even a hint of that happening.

Obviously, James was shaken as well.

The city leaders were equally dumbfounded and expressed their disbelief.

“How can this be? If you leave, Mr. Field, what'll happen to Lake City?”

“There are many projects that depend on you, Mr. Field!”

“Yeah! You're the hero who helped save countless lives during the disaster! What on earth are the higher-ups

thinking?”

James looked at them wordlessly, finally snapping back to his senses.

“The higher-ups must've had a reason to make this decision.

Everyone, please calm down. Once they've investigated the matter and found me innocent, they'll give me the

justice I deserve,” he said.

James then cast an affectionate glance at his son and instructed him, "Don't tell your mom about this for now, Joe.

She isn't in great condition. I'm worried she may not be able to handle the shock. Just tell her I went on a business

trip.”
