Harley sighed heavily.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to fool Clint. Amos' subordinates had always been extremely sharp.
However, this was not beyond his expectations.
He did not intend to hide the truth from Clint. After all, Clint was Amos' valuable assistant, so he had to be clear about the situation in order to plan his next step.
Thinking of this, Harley spoke firmly,
"He is not doing too well. His body has not fully recovered yet. He was already feeling unwell when he arrived at the police station. He was then immediately transferred to the military hospital. He was afraid that Mrs. Granger and the children would worry, so he told me not to mention it."
Clint was stunned. "Is he alright then?"
However, before he could even finish his words, he felt that he had asked a silly question. With Mr. Granger's strong willpower and body strength, he would've held on if he could. Now that he had collapsed, it definitely meant that something was wrong.
Clint couldn't stand it anymore!
"I'm going to contact the others right now. Let's get President Granger out!"
Christopher immediately agreed. "Count me in! If it wasn't for Amos' help back then, Tina and I might not even be together now. I'll always remember his favor!" "Clint!" Harley reached out to stop him and turned to glare at Christopher.
"Are you both out of your mind? The situation is not that serious yet! Furthermore, by having this conversation in front of me, aren't you plainly disregarding my job as a fellow policeman?"
Although he seemed as though he always took things easily, it was just some of his daily disguises. He would still take his job seriously.
Clint looked at Harley with slight disappointment. "I thought that you and Mr. Granger were best friends."
"It is because he's my best friend that I'm telling you very seriously now to not do anything that you might regret. Where do you think this is? We are bound by the laws of our country. As long as a thorough investigation is done to find out the truth, we will definitely solve it! Violence is never the solution to anything! Who do you think you are, the mafia?"
Clint lowered his head in silence.
He had gone through fire and storm with Amos since he was a child. It was normal for him to fight and kill.
"Alright, listen to me. Don't let Eudora know anything about this. Also, stay calm and take good care of her and Juju. Leave the rest to me, okay?"
Clint nodded his head. Eudora had just so happened to have finished her checkup as well.
The three men recollected themselves and said to Eudora with a smile,
"Mrs. Granger, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine! I'm most worried about Amos right now..."
"Amos is fine as well. You don't have to worry about that since I'm here. I'm going back with Christopher to discuss further on how we could help him. Have a good rest in the hospital..."
Harley then fled alongside Christopher before Eudora had the chance to speak.
Eudora couldn't sit still in the hospital. After lazing around for the whole afternoon, she couldn't help but pay the person-in-charge a visit in the evening.
