Chapter 741 -740 For Your Own Good
Newark Police District.
In the interrogation room, a doctor treated Harriman’s wounds and then said, “Mr. Harriman, there will be no problem with the recovery of your right hand. You just need to visit the hospital every day and receive an injection of the recovery medication.”
“Alright, thank you.” Harriman moved his right hand, nodded in satisfaction, and expressed his gratitude.
This was Catherine’s personal doctor, whom Harriman had called over to treat his wounds.
Towards Catherine’s personal doctor, he was very polite.
After all, Catherine was his boss.
...
In front of his boss’s personal doctor, he dared not act arrogantly; otherwise, he’d certainly be in a world of trouble.
He did have some self-awareness, knowing that he was Catherine’s toy and that in a few years, Catherine would grow tired of him, then kick him aside and seek out fresh meat.
That’s how it had always been when Catherine looked for fresh meat.
Catherine had kept several such young lovers, and this had been the end for all of them.
He had even gone to ask those who had once been kept by Catherine.
Asking what he should do to stay by Catherine’s side forever.
Since those young lovers hadn’t been able to stay with Catherine permanently, it meant they were failures.
Asking a loser how to succeed was undoubtedly not going to yield an answer.
So, he didn’t get an answer.
Moreover, those failures told him not to harbor such illusions.
The best thing to do was to make as much money as possible while Catherine still needed him, to ensure a secure life for the future.
Therefore, he had no expectation of serving Catherine forever; he only hoped to make enough money for a comfortable life in his later years while he was Catherine’s plaything.
Hence, he didn’t care about his image at all; being rude, impudent, and overbearing was of no consequence.
As long as Catherine was still playing with him, his career would not suffer the slightest harm; Catherine would smooth everything over for him.
And if Catherine grew tired of him, no matter how well he performed, his career would go downhill until he disappeared from the industry.
Since that was the case, he obviously did whatever made him feel good.
Being rude, impudent, and overbearing was the most pleasurable, so of course, he would act that way.
“You’re welcome.” The doctor smiled faintly, packed his medical bag, and left.
After the doctor had departed, Harriman looked up at the ceiling, images of Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong surfacing in his mind, a vicious glint appearing in his eyes.
He had taken such a big loss today; he had to get his revenge, or he would not be able to calm the hatred in his heart.
As for the relationship between Xu Yang, Wang Xiaocong, and Richard, he didn’t care about the details; he just wanted to get his revenge.
“So what if you’re friends with Richard, I’ll make you two pay a price, even make you two guys stay in the great USA forever!” Harriman said viciously.
His mind worked quickly as he considered how to take revenge on Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.
Since Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong were so wealthy, then he would make them bleed money.
If he could extort money from Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, he could break free from Catherine and stop being her plaything.
Yes, that’s the plan; kidnap and extort money from Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong.
After succeeding, he would find a secluded place to live a carefree life.
As for the possibility that Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong might not pay, he didn’t believe that could happen.
Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong are wealthy individuals, and wealthy people always cherish their lives, spending money for safety is nothing out of the ordinary.
Thinking about finally being able to be free, Catherine couldn’t help but start laughing with excitement.
At that moment, the interrogation room door was pushed open.
“What are you laughing at?” Bright walked in, came over, and sat down in front of Harriman.
Seeing Bright, Harriman’s smile immediately faded, and flames of anger blazed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth and said, “Bright, you shameless bastard, what are you doing here seeing me? Get out and go lick the asses of Richard, Xu Yang, and Wang Xiaocong; they must have countless benefits for you!”
From the moment Bright changed his attitude, he had hated Bright thoroughly.
Seeing Bright still so leisurely appearing before him, he became livid with rage.
Bright just gave a slight smile, “Mr. Harriman, it seems you have quite an issue with me.”
Harriman angrily said, “Shouldn’t I have an issue with you? You’re a lowly, shameless, fickle, unprincipled villain!”
Harriman threw all these derogatory terms at Bright in one breath.
And to be honest, they were rather fitting.
Bright smiled again, “Mr. Harriman, you’ve misunderstood me, I am not a lowly, shameless, fickle, unprincipled villain.”
Harriman scoffed, “If you aren’t a lowly, shameless, fickle, unprincipled villain, then why did you originally stand on my side, and as soon as Richard arrived, you’re groveling at his feet? Your actions are utterly disgusting to me! Ugh! Phooey!”
Harriman made a gesture of vomiting and even spat on the ground to express his contempt for Bright’s character.
Bright didn’t get angry but simply said, “In front of Richard, I am just an ant; Richard merely needs to puff a breath, and I’m done for. Even the great commander has to treat him with courtesy in front of Richard. Tell me, as a little district police chief like me, how could I not kowtow to him? Besides, my kowtowing is not for my own sake, but for your own good.”

At these words, Harriman was stunned into silence, before cursing, “Bright, you motherfucker, kowtowing to Richard and getting me caught—are you saying it’s for my good? What the fuck is that logic?”
He truly couldn’t understand how Bright could be doing this for his sake.
Kowtowing to Richard, getting him caught, and then saying it’s for his own good.
It can be said, he had never seen such a brazen and shameless person.
Bright chuckled, “Mr. Harriman, think about it, if I had staunchly stood by your side and not groveled to Richard, directly opposing him, what would have been my fate, and what would have been yours?”
At these words, Harriman was stunned once again.
He wasn’t a fool.
He had just been blinded by anger, hating Bright deeply, believing Bright to be a lowly, shameless, fickle, unprincipled villain.
But now, after hearing Bright’s statement, he thought of many things.
If Bright had still stood by his side when Richard arrived, that would surely have incurred Richard’s discontent and wrath.
Such dissatisfaction and rage from someone like Richard weren’t something Bright and he could bear.
Bright’s position as chief might not last, and he might even be purged from the police force.
And as for him, a celebrity, his career would certainly be over, and he might even be killed.
Because once people knew that he, a celebrity, had angered a boss like Richard, there would be countless people wanting to please Richard by dealing with him.
It can be said that without Richard lifting a finger, his fate would be very tragic indeed.
Catherine certainly wouldn’t care about him; she might even take it upon herself to deal with him to please Richard.
In Catherine’s eyes, he was just a plaything, and that wasn’t impossible.
Realizing this, Harriman suddenly felt a jolt through his body, his back breaking out in a cold sweat, his face turning somewhat pale.
Seeing the change in Harriman’s complexion, Bright knew his words had taken effect and continued, “We cannot afford to offend Richard, so we must bow our heads. If we don’t, we might not be able to sit here and talk like this. I think you understand what I mean.”
