Chapter 191

191 False Statement
As it turned out, the Ravenwood police precinct did have the audacity to pull dirty tricks.
Granted, they dared not take things too far. With a trivial case like Wynter’s, it was easy money for the
officers.
It was no surprise that an older officer came in after the interrogator left.
The officer, who looked like a sleaze, paid no mind to Dom and Lucas.
He addressed Wynter directly, “Even streamers aren’t above the law, you know. I’ve certainly never
heard of legitimate doctors giving medical advice through live–streaming.
“The Shepherds are famous in the Southdale medical industry, but I don’t see them commercializing
their skills at the expense of human lives!”
Wynter’s icy gaze snapped up to the officer’s face. “Top–tier hospitals such as the ones owned by the
military have long since given medical advice and consultation through live- streaming.
“The doctors who preside over the live–streaming are specialists too. The whole point of doing this is to
make healthcare accessible for everyone and lower their travel costs.
“The reason why the Shepherds refuse to set up a live–streaming channel is because they know
they’re not good enough.”
She maintained her composure as she surveyed the officer’s face. “I have the necessary
documentation to give out medical advice through live–streaming.
“I’m qualified in modern and traditional medicine, which makes me legitimate. The only thing that’s
illegitimate here is your grounds for arresting us.”
The officer scoffed. “Quite the talker, huh?”
He ignored Wynter and led in the middle–aged woman who had interrupted Wynter’s live- streaming
earlier.
He asked the middle–aged woman “Is this the young lady who gave your grandson the wrong
prescription?”
At that moment, the officer deliberately switched on the surveillance cameras.
The middle–aged woman immediately replied, “It’s her, officer! You have no idea how cruel she is.

“My grandson was down with the flu, but his condition got worse after taking the medicine she
prescribed. He’s been comatose since.”
“Right, I’ve got the answer I need.” The officer pulled out an affidavit that had been
prepared in advance. “Sign here and you may leave after that.”
The whole process left Dom furious. Even Lucas had gone livid. “You’re fabricating a witness
statement!”
This whole ordeal was rotten to the core.
With a signed affidavit, Wynter could be deemed medically negligent. It would also imply that Dom and
Lucas had assaulted officers who were on duty.
“Shut up!” The officer’s palm struck the table as he shot Lucas a warning look. “Nobody asked for your
opinion!”
Lucas willed himself to calm down. There was no point in retorting at this juncture, no matter how
satisfying it might be.
The officer couldn’t care less about what Lucas thought. He turned and left the room to
retrieve a second affidavit.
After he was out of the interrogation room, he said to his co–worker, “You should’ve been more
efficient.
You need to work faster if you want to get Captain Weissman the statements he asked for. Keep that in
mind, all right?”
The co–worker was none other than the interrogator from earlier.
He had done as Wynter asked and looked into the circumstances of the arrest.
Not only were the circumstances suspicious, but the middle–aged woman who had gone into the room
just now also had a criminal record. She was paid to play the victim.
However, the interrogator couldn’t tell Wynter any of this. He poured a glass of water and
went into the room.
“Listen to me, young lady. Stop being stubborn,” the interrogator said quietly. “Things aren’t as simple
as you think. If your family has any connections at all, give them a call. You could get out on bail if
you’re lucky.”
Dom snapped angrily, “Why should we ask for bail when we’ve done nothing wrong?”
“Nothing wrong?” The older officer had returned and was pointing at the auxiliary officer outside. “You
roughed up my colleague, and yet you claim you’ve done nothing wrong?”

“I was the one who beat him up, not these two,” Wynter countered.
The officer didn’t even bother looking up at her. “Then do as Levi suggests and call your family. We’re
just doing our jobs.”
The implication behind his words was clear.
