“Burns, don’t worry, it’s just temporary administrative leave. Those media and reporters are like wild dogs attracted by the scent.
We, the LAPD, have our independence. How could we possibly act against you based on a few unfounded comments from the media?”
Lake made it sound so real, as if the administrative leave for Burns was really just to protect his subordinate.
Facing his superior’s evasion, Burns responded.
“Maybe someone from the hospital leaked information to the media, Captain, administrative leave won’t solve the problem.”
No matter what you say, it’s just arranging for me to stay out of sight, you have no intention of helping with my issues at all.
This won’t do!
I charged forward during the critical time, I was loyal.
Now just a few words and an administrative leave, and you want to dismiss me, let me take the fall, I won’t accept it!
Burns absolutely refuses to accept a slow death!
“Don’t worry, they don’t have evidence, so many days have passed, besides, those unidentified bodies are just that, unidentified. Can they really pin it on us?”
Lake was just pretending to be naive, but this captain actually didn’t have a good solution either.
If there’s someone pushing from behind, any direct interference from him would bring the risk to himself, making it hard to resolve in the future.
If there’s no one pushing from behind, Burns’ administrative leave is just that, administrative leave, and he can resume his position after the fuss blows over.
For Lake, temporarily sacrificing Burns to gain his own advantage, or to keep himself from being in a passive situation, is worth it.
“This matter is probably related to Gru’s people, the tip we received back then had issues, the subsequent handling was very careful and confidential, outsiders couldn’t possibly know so much inside information.
Captain, I can accept administrative leave, but this matter can’t just end so easily. If Gru’s people keep entangling me from behind, handing knives to the media, what should I do?”
Seeing Lake unwilling to help, Burns stopped pretending as well.
Buddy, don’t make me your enemy!
“Hahaha, Burns, Gru is a thing of the past, you know the situation with West State Logistics, he can’t even take care of himself now, might even be arrested tomorrow!”
In this complex game as it develops, everyone is interconnected.
Lake doesn’t believe Gru has the guts to cause trouble for him while struggling with CNN’s scrutiny over West State Logistics.
“Are you saying you want to arrest Gru?” Burns seemed both surprised and happy.
Gru, that son of a bitch, had tripped him up during the BEC case, and now seems to be the hidden hand feeding the media. If Lake could make up his mind to arrest Gru, then everything would be easier to handle.
Once Gru is under control in prison, making him take the fall for something is basically a piece of cake, isn’t it?
What, you talk about the law?
Ha, the law is a joke isn’t unique to anywhere, in any country, the law is just a tool, a tool of governance.
Who governs, controls it!
“I’m considering it. One Thomas isn’t enough, the issue with the Underground Forces is at a point where it has to be resolved.”
Lake answered sternly and then continued to console Burns.
“Burns, you’re an excellent officer, don’t worry, I’ll protect you!”
What a lie.
How would he dare to touch Gru, Gasetti hasn’t even made up their mind, and Niusen must protect Gru at all costs.
Touching Thomas is already the limit of Lake’s courage.
The higher-ups haven’t settled their matters, even if Lake is foolish, he wouldn’t dare cross the line and do anything outrageous.
Faced with Lake’s continuous coaxing, Burns made no expression.
He was thinking about how to continue the conversation.
“Knock Knock Knock~” Someone knocked on the door.
“Come in!” The captain called out.
“Sir, the mayor requests your presence.”
The captain looked at Burns, smiled with an apologetic tone, and said.
“Burns, let’s call it a day for now, go and get some rest.”
The person involved gave no response and didn’t get up from his seat, he just leaned back in the chair, touching his chin with one hand, appearing to be in deep thought.
“Go ahead.”
After saying this, Lake stood up and left.
The mayor’s summons, he had to hurry over promptly.

Imagine you are a middle-aged man, and after work, burdened with responsibilities from your boss, you return to your warm home, hoping to recharge your weary heart tormented by reality with some family warmth.
You stop the car, the little dog at home didn’t bark today, but you didn’t notice.
Opening the door, everything seems just as usual.
Beneath the cross on the wall is the TV, broadcasting your grandma’s favorite show — your grandma is ninety, but she still loves watching male models.
Though you’re not very pleased, as her most cherished grandson, you can only smile and accept it.
You notice grandma isn’t sitting on the old sofa from the 1950s, and call out to her twice dearly, but she doesn’t answer.
Realizing something is off, you notice the dog’s cage is empty.
You quickly retrieve a hidden black gun from the secret compartment by the entrance and start to carefully check your house.
Your daughter is missing.
Your wife is missing.
Your grandmother is missing.
Your heart sinks, sinks, plunging into an abyss of no return.
You want to call for help, but your many years of experience and rationality remind you—it’s useless.
In the master bedroom, you see your dog.
