Chapter 25 Acceptance of Amnesty! Acceptance of Amnesty! What kind of amnesty is this!

In the evening, Chief George took a break from his busy work, but the thought of the large group of reporters surrounding the police station gave him a headache.

These reporters were all after a headline story; they wanted to interview Bai Ye after he came out.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating and to protect Bai Ye's personal information, he escorted Bai Ye and his lawyer out of the police station through the back door beforehand.

The entire city of New York is buzzing about this bank robbery, especially since the police couldn't handle it for ages, only to have it wiped out in no time by a young man. It's certainly worthy of conversation.

In addition, Bai Ye is incredibly handsome, so both those who appreciate good looks and those who enjoy the plot will find it interesting and pay attention to this matter.

After an afternoon of discussion, Bai Ye was even given nicknames like "the savior of the New York police" and "the Robin Hood of the 21st century" online.

On television, the news anchor declared righteously, "This humiliating defeat by the New York Police Department has become the biggest topic of discussion within the American police force. Former Police Commissioner Hoover, known for his decisive and efficient approach, commented that the New York Police Department's behavior shows they have no regard for their reputation whatsoever..."

New York City Mayor Adams turned off the video on the screen and turned to the police department's top officials, saying, "You all know how badly your department is perceived by the public in New York City. This has seriously damaged the government's image in the eyes of the citizens, and this matter must be resolved immediately."

Inside the meeting room, the police chiefs were all wondering why the mayor, who had previously been so laissez-faire about police affairs, was suddenly so concerned about them today.

But only George and a few others knew that the mayor was suddenly showing concern because he was worried that the upcoming election would affect his voter turnout.

"The crux of the matter lies in the crucial issue itself. You must resolve this matter regardless. I've summoned you here to get a plan from you on how to resolve this." The mayor looked at George: "Since no one is speaking, let the chief speak first, since you've been involved in this from the beginning."

George, surprised that this would involve him, stood up helplessly and said, "I think we should strengthen the professionalism of police officers and improve their training..."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to say anymore. What you said makes a lot of sense, but what I need is a way to immediately reverse public opinion." The mayor quickly stopped him and turned to the deputy director, asking, "Do you have any ideas?"

"I do have an idea," the deputy chief hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying, "Since the public opinion in the police station is caused by that teenager, why don't we just recruit him into the police force?"

"To offer amnesty?" the mayor asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, now the whole of New York is comparing that young man's abilities to our police department. In that case, why don't we just recruit him into the police department?" the deputy chief said, but this suggestion made the mayor's eyes light up.

"As long as we issue a statement to the public that our police department has learned its lesson and brought in the teenager who solved the bank robbery case, the public's attention will be focused solely on that young man."

"And it can also give citizens the feeling that the government is listening to their opinions, reversing the previous negative impression of being aloof and superior." The deputy director said as he pondered, becoming more and more convinced that his method was feasible.

“But that guy didn’t even graduate high school. Are we just going to make an exception and let him join the police force? There’s never been a precedent for this before,” George said.

"What's the big deal? We don't need to officially hire him. Instead, we'll add him as a special advisor to the police force. We won't need him to handle cases; we'll just use his name to support us," the deputy director said.

"Later on, we can promote him as a rising star in the police force. With his good looks, he can even turn around the government's image."

"Okay, your idea makes a lot of sense in practice. Let's go with your method." The mayor of New York City made the decision directly, then looked at George and said, "Since the deputy chief has come up with an idea, you can carry it out."

"Huh? I..." George pointed to himself helplessly.

"Otherwise, among everyone here, you're the only one who's had the most contact with that young man. If we don't let you go, who will?" the mayor said matter-of-factly.

George looked around and noticed that his colleagues had subconsciously distanced themselves from him.

The mayor looked at George and said calmly, "This matter concerns the honor of the government. I remember you've been the director for almost five years now. I hope you won't slack off in this final period of your term and will do your job well."

Faced with this blatant threat, George nodded helplessly and said, "I understand. I'll talk to him and try to get him into the police force."

"Not as much as possible, but definitely," the mayor emphasized.

……

You completed a total of 21543 weighted squats, increasing your maximum mental attribute to 1.6.

As the instructions on the screen changed, Bai Ye gently lowered the three barbells she was carrying.

It was already dark outside the gym, and it was late at night. Bai Ye had been squatting at full speed for seven or eight hours straight, but he didn't feel tired at all. He only felt hungry after a long workout.

"Is that all for today's practice?" Smith asked.

"You can go back now, I'll stay here tonight," Bai Ye said.

Now his family background has definitely been thoroughly investigated, and when he goes back, he will definitely be harassed by those reporters who are staking out his house. Since the club owner said he can stay here 24 hours a day, he might as well make this place his home for now.

Feeling hungry, Bai Ye left the club and headed towards the shops outside, but a phone call before he left made him change his plans.

Looking at the unfamiliar number on her phone, Bai Ye hesitated for a moment before answering: "Hello, who are you? How did you get my number?"

"White Night, is it? I'm Police Chief George. We met today, and I have some matters concerning the police department that I'd like to discuss with you. What are you doing right now?"

"Chief George?" Bai Ye recalled the middle-aged man she had seen that morning; his voice was indeed no different from the one she had seen earlier.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Ye said, "I don't have anything to do right now, I'm going to have dinner."

"Is that so? I haven't had dinner yet either. If you don't mind, why don't you come over to my place for dinner?" George invited over the phone.

"Let's have dinner..." Bai Ye frowned slightly, not understanding the other party's intentions, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. After all, if they really wanted to harm him, there was no reason for them to bring him to their home.

"Okay, Director. Where do you live now? I'll be right there." Bai Ye nodded.

After noting down George's phone number, Bai Ye hung up and headed straight for his house. But before he got there, another call came in from an unknown number.

The next line after "recruit amnesty" is, "What kind of amnesty is this? We'll storm Tokyo and seize the throne!"
