Chapter 521

Harvey didn’t go home immediately, and instead went to Clearview General Hospital first.

In the hospital’s general ward, Mr. Terence was groaning in pain.

He had consumed more than three bottles of high alcohol percentage wine and had suffered from a recurrent epilepsy due to gastrointestinal perforation. He was given an emergency gastric lavage and his condition was eventually stabilized. He was out of immediate danger now, but the pain he was feeling didn’t diminish in the slightest.

He felt as if his stomach and intestines were all twisted together. That kind of agony made him wish he were dead.

His resentment towards Zeke intensified.

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. A figure walked in soon after.

When Mr. Terence saw the person’s face, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Isn’t this... Isn’t this the Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee, Harvey Hoffman?

Why is such an influential person here in my room?

Is he here to visit me? Who am I kidding? I’m a nobody. How could I have possibly gotten Harvey Hoffman’s attention?

He must have come to the wrong room.

He struggled to get into a sitting position on his bed. “Mr. Hoffman, good day to you. May I know who you’re looking for? I think you have the wrong room.”

Harvey smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Terrence, lie down, lie down. Don’t move too much.” He came closer to the bed. “I didn’t come to the wrong room. I’m here to see you.”

What?

Mr. Terrence was pleasantly surprised.

Harvey Hoffman has come to visit me in person... What a huge honor.

At the same time, doubts filled his heart. He had never had any dealings with Harvey Hoffman. To be precise, he wasn’t qualified to do so. Hence, he couldn’t fathom why he would visit him out of nowhere.

When Harvey saw the doubt that was clearly written on Mr. Terrence’s face, he took the initiative to explain, “Mr. Terrence, I heard about what happened to you.”

Then, he sighed and continued, “I’m the one who should be blamed for doing a poor job of ridding the society of evil and malice. That’s why the underground world is getting more rampant and wreaking havoc everywhere. But don’t worry, I’m here to seek justice on your behalf.”

What?

Mr. Terence was overflowing with excitement.

The Secretary of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee himself is going to seek justice for me...

My God. I must be dreaming.

He was so shocked that he didn’t know how to react.

Harvey filled the silence by saying, “However, Zeke Williams has incredibly strong and deep ties in Oakheart City’s underground world. It won’t be easy to find his weakness. That’s why, I need your help.”

“Mr. Hoffman, just give me the word and I’ll go through hell and high water for you!” Mr. Terence uttered with sincerity and a hint of fear.

Harvey smiled. “If only all the citizens had the same sentiments as you, I wouldn’t have to worry so much. Mr. Terrence, very well. After you help me by finishing the mission I gave you, you will definitely be handsomely rewarded.”

Mr. Terence shed tears of joy. “Thank you for your trust in me, Mr. Hoffman. I won’t disappoint you. May I know what my mission is?”

Harvey leaned closer to whisper a few words into Mr. Terence’s ear.

A bright smile broke out on Mr. Terence’s face. “Sure, sure. Don’t you worry, Mr. Hoffman. I’ll be sure to do it perfectly for you.”

After a brief exchange, Harvey left the wardroom.

Just as he stepped out of the door, his phone rang.

It was the municipal secretary, Wilson Wood.

“Hoffman, the boss wants to know your progress.” Wilson asked over the phone.

Harvey quickly said, “Mr. Wilson, please tell the boss that I’m actively handling it. I can assure you that Zeke Williams won’t be able to get his hands on Reagan Pharmaceutical. In fact, he might even be dead by the time I’m done with him.”

“Okay. Hurry it up. Time is of the essence. The boss has already gathered enough power to ambush Zeke Williams and Rivermouth’s underworld forces at any time. But before that happens, we must do our best to keep Reagan Pharmaceutical firmly in our clutches. If Reagan Pharmaceutical really falls into Zeke Williams’ hands, not only will you and I suffer the consequences, but it’ll be also impossible for the boss to turn things around.”

“I understand. I really do. Please be rest assured, Mr. Wilson, I’ll make sure everything will go smoothly without a hitch!”
