Chapter 588



.

When Johnson arrived at the hospital, he found Janson asleep outside Terry’s room.

He looked around carefully.

As a professional with many years of experience in the industry, he had been suspecting all along that this was all nothing more than a trap Morris and Nora were trying to lure him into.

Even though the two had been brought in by the inspection unit, Johnson did not let his guard down in the slightest.

He had always been a perceptive, paranoid and meticulous person. Otherwise, he would not have become Morris’ mentor back then.

His brash, irritable, and straight-laced personality on the surface was nothing more than a disguise to establish a sense of harmlessness to the leaders above so that he would be promoted quickly.

As the facts had shown, he had succeeded.

gαℓησν𝒆ℓs․com has your next chapter That act of his had fooled many people. Everyone had let their guard down before him. In fact, all those involved in countless cheats in the workplace at the time had underestimated him because of his facade, allowing him to turn defeat into victory.

Thus, even at this moment, Johnson’s first reaction was not to rush into the room and kill Terry, but to observe the surroundings.

With his years of experience and surprisingly keen intuition, he made sure that there was no one watching him in the vicinity and that no one was plotting against him. At last, he pushed lightly on the door to the living room and entered.

In the living room, Terry was lying on the bed. He had lost a lot of weight due to the coma of the last few days. His head was wrapped in white gauze and he was unconscious, his eyes closed.

The first thing Johnson did was to inspect the room. Even after confirming that there were no surveillance cameras, he did not immediately inject the toxic chemicals into Terry. Instead, he observed his vitals.

His heart rate was holding at just over sixty and was very stable. Although it was a little slower than normal, it was still considered healthy.

The other numbers were also very good, indicating that Terry was alive and recovering.

The genetic serum was really impressive.

With that in mind, Terry avoided all angles that might allow him to record it, pulled the deadly chemicals out of his pocket and injected them directly into Terry.

He moved naturally all at once, without any hesitation, fully exhibiting the competence of a professional.

When he finished, he stepped back. Soon after, the monitor beeped loudly. He gave Janson a shove before he woke up. Then, he shouted, “Janson, quick, come take a look! What’s wrong with Terry?”

Janson opened his eyes groggily. As he heard the monitor alarm, blood drained from his face. The hospital staff also rushed over. Unfortunately, the heart rate monitor showed only a straight line.

Terry had died.

He had died a day after being injected with the gene serum. The cause of death was cardiac arrest, which looked like a heart attack, but also appeared to be caused by the gene serum.

His body was removed by the inspection unit people. Janson was very discouraged. He would never have thought that things would turn out this way. Evidently, Quentin was still alive in the next room? When news of the incident reached the special department, most of his colleagues felt their hearts sink.

Johnson rushed back to the department to counsel everyone. He sighed and said, “The gene serum was no good from the beginning. Most people have lost their lives after being injected with it. I already objected to the idea when Nora wanted to use it to treat Terry, but they simply refused to listen…. So did Morris. I really don’t know how Nora has managed to brainwash him so much to trust her so much and follow her ridiculous actions.”

The others sighed as well.

Janson stared at Johnson.

He had a suspicion in his heart, but he didn’t know whether he should trust Johnson or not. Apparently sensing his hostility, Johnson approached him and said, “Janson, now you understand why I alerted the inspection unit, don’t you? I really did it for Terry. You can’t count on the genetic serum at all! Heaven only knows how much Terry must have suffered during the last few days! I wonder if he could have felt any pain when he was unconscious…”

As Johnson spoke, Janson’s eyes reddened.

Johnson sighed and said, “All his life, Terry had been at odds with the people behind the gene serum. I never expected him to have to suffer such torture before his death. Janson, can you understand my good intentions?”

Janson suddenly clenched his fists. However, he answered sensibly, “Nora only used the genetic serum to save my father’s life, although it failed in the end…. The real killer is Karl Moore!”

He added, “I move that we close the case and convict Karl as soon as possible!”

Johnson shook his head and sighed. After a while, he said, “The special department has the right to convict a criminal for his crimes, but the problem is that only the acting director has the right to do so! Now that the inspection unit has taken Morris away, no one in the department has the right to do it anymore!”

He immediately frowned and said, “I wonder when the Morris investigation will be completed. Also, when will the new acting director be assigned?”

The moment he said that, Janson was slightly taken aback.

He, who was still mired in grief over the loss of his father, had the vague feeling that Johnson was bringing up the subject because he wanted to fight for power. But before he could say anything, Mark, who was standing next to him, said angrily, “That’s easy! We can jointly propose to remove Captain Ford from his post and then support Captain Johnson as acting director! When that happens, you can convict Karl of his crimes!”

Johnson frowned as he heard what he said. “That’s… not a good idea, is it? Even if Morris did an outrageous thing, it was Nora who tricked him…”

Mark immediately gritted his teeth and said, “Captain Ford sure has become a jerk! The way he looks at Nora is not right. For so many years, he’s always been firm and impartial, but how many barbarities has he done for Nora? All I did was interrogate Karl for a while the other time, and he still locked me up!”

Mark and Janson were the best of friends. He often went to her house for lunch. Being his superior, Terry had also taught him a lot, and he had benefited greatly from her teachings.

That’s why Mark was so excited. He didn’t even wait for Johnson to speak and immediately said, “A lot of people in the department think so too. Hold on, Captain Johnson, I’ll take care of this.”

After speaking, Mark ran out.

Janson looked at him from behind, red-eyed.

A day later, the inspection unit came to the special department, planning to investigate the incident on Terry and also announce the final outcome. Because the incident had blown up so much in the special department, and also because Morris had gone against everyone’s will to protect Karl, they had decided to hold a big conference to settle the matter.

Seeing that everything was going well, Johnson finally relaxed. He felt that things were undoubtedly going very well and that there would be no unexpected problems.
