Chapter 358: Chapter 358: What Justifies Vigilante Justice
Adrian Law’s leather shoe fiercely crushed against the face of that mink coat shrew, filling everyone’s heart with fear, yet they were overpowered by the man’s formidable aura, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.
It was only when the police sirens of Stellerton’s precinct blared that the crowd hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief.
A reporter, eager and rubbing his hands, stepped out, pointing angrily at Adrian Law and Cecilia Vaughn.
"Officer, it’s this shameless couple that’s been disturbing the peace, and this woman even has a criminal record for murder. You must bring her to justice!"
"Exactly! Why isn’t this murderer locked up in jail? She only served three years and was released? Isn’t this a threat to society? Does Veridia’s law show favoritism towards beauties?!"
"Maybe she’s got a sugar daddy covering her up! Bribed the judge with money!"
The onlookers felt this made sense, nodding in agreement one after another, glaring resentfully at Cecilia Vaughn, wishing they could bore holes into her with their eyes.
A woman who has killed, how is she fit to live in this world, how is she fit to receive a higher education?
This must be a power-sex transaction!
As this thought ran through the crowd’s minds, suddenly they saw Chief Quinn, a high-ranking and well-known official from Stellerton’s police department, stepping out of a car, which made everyone even more excitedly crane their necks to get a look.
"Great, Chief Quinn is here! He’s the fairest and most impartial!"
"It’s definitely this shameless cold-blooded woman that caught the higher-ups’ attention, the bigger the fuss, the better, we must bring her to justice!"
...
Hearing the one-sided remarks, Adrian Law’s brows knitted tightly, and his sharply defined face appeared even more menacing.
"Tch, pretty boy still putting on airs here, so arrogant, just wait till Chief Quinn arrives to take you down..."
A reporter sneered at Adrian Law, wanting to say more, but was suddenly stopped by a gloomy and icy glare from Adrian, his terrifying aura almost freezing the air solid, sending a chill down the reporter’s spine, silencing him instantly.
Is he really just an ordinary rich pretty boy?
Why does his presence feel even stronger than some of the industry big shots I’ve met?
...
Adrian Law pulled Cecilia Vaughn’s slender body closer, his gaze slowly scanning over all the onlookers present, especially those who had hurled abuse.
"You all, very impressive..."
The crowd collectively felt the chill of Adrian Law’s cold aura... In an instant, everyone couldn’t help but shiver.
So intimidating... Luckily the police are here...
In a matter of seconds, everyone was trembling with fear, and in their terror, they all chose to make way, hoping Chief Quinn would quickly take away this shameless couple.
Chief Quinn’s face was grim, and despite the cold weather, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
Everyone was touched, thinking he arrived so fast because he knew the murder case needed to be handled cautiously, and jail was the best place for the culprit.
"Chief Quinn... you’ve worked hard..."
Everyone said this sentence, their eyes extremely smugly looking at Cecilia Vaughn in Adrian Law’s arms, fully expecting Chief Quinn to immediately take her away for questioning.
However, contrary to all expectations, Chief Quinn, in a very humble manner, lowered his head toward Adrian Law.
"Mr. Law, I sincerely apologize, Stellerton University falls under my jurisdiction, yet I failed to control this disturbance, causing you and your wife alarm..."
Hearing these words and seeing the rare respectful expression on Chief Quinn’s face, everyone was utterly shocked speechless!
Could it be... he’s not here to arrest Cecilia Vaughn and send her to prison?
...
"Chief Quinn, these troublesome people here are in your hands now."
Adrian Law nodded indifferently, pulling Cecilia Vaughn even closer, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding crowd, his voice like the icy waters of winter.
"All onlookers who spoke disrespectfully at the scene, as well as those who spread false information online, will be dealt with strictly!"
The man’s voice wasn’t loud, but as soon as he spoke, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck from out of nowhere.
Chief Quinn nodded fearfully, sweat pouring down his face.
"Yes, sir."
In a matter of moments, over a hundred officers surrounded them, creating an impenetrable barrier, not a single person could escape.
"Oh my god! Is it really necessary? Does being a bystander count as a crime?"
"Who on earth is this man,"
"Damn, collusion between officials and businessmen! How can you unlawfully detain us?"
Adrian Law’s eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s, coldly sweeping over the journalists who were clamoring particularly loudly, his voice cold as a sharp blade.
"Everything here has been recorded by drones, whether there has been an invasion of my wife’s private reputation will be ascertained by evidence."
"And those who have posted insulting comments online, none of you will escape."
Adrian Law’s voice was extremely cold and indifferent, yet his lips curled into a deadly arc.
During an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.
"Don’t you all love standing on the moral high ground to condemn others? Rest assured, what you said and did will soon spread through your own social circles."
You should know, this is a real-name internet society now, if someone really wants to investigate, they can dig very deep.
Don’t think you can get away with a few snide comments on Weibo, vanishing without a trace.
Previously, no one thought someone would spend such great effort to do this, and suddenly realized the severity of the situation.
They never thought someone would go to such lengths to defend a disloyal, disrespectful, vulgar, and cold-hearted gold digger?
...
Adrian Law coldly eyed the mink coat shrew still writhing in pain on the ground, his voice icy.
"This woman, make sure she’s well taken care of, understand?"
The last few words Adrian Law uttered almost through gritted teeth.
The mink coat shrew stared in disbelief with wide eyes.
"What right do you have, are you planning to take the law into your own hands? I’m the wife of the Crestwood Department Store’s boss, you can’t arrest me!"
"I only slapped that slut twice, and you hit me back! I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet!"
Hearing these words, a cold laugh escaped Adrian Law’s throat.
"Crestwood Department Store? Very good..."
The mink coat shrew was pinned down firmly by several officers, still unaware of the gravity of the situation, when she suddenly heard her phone ringing.
"Answer it."
Adrian Law gave a nod, and the officer beside him nodded respectfully, immediately pressing the speakerphone button.
In an instant, an enraged roar erupted from the woman’s phone.
"You wretched woman, how did you manage to provoke the Law Family! Now all our stocks have hit rock bottom! Are you trying to bankrupt the company? You’re going to ruin me and our son!"
"Bankrupt? No... how could... this isn’t real!"
The mink coat shrew let out a piercing scream, looking at Adrian Law as if she had seen the King of Hell.
"Who... who are you really?"
