After Jim had left, the division chief hurriedly looked at Jakel with a flattering expression and said, “Mr. White, I will arrange for someone to take Madam Elaine to go see a doctor first. I will also communicate with my superiors about the media and ask them not to notify the media about this matter for the time being. We should be unified to keep silent before the media first. As you know, there are also too many issues related to racial discrimination in American society now, and there are also various continuous protests going on. So, we should not be adding chaos to the general environment. What do you think?”
Jakel glanced at the division chief and said lightly, “If you can give my client enough humanitarian treatment, I can keep this matter from the media for the time being, but I also reserve the right to notify the media.”
When the division chief heard this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “In that case, we will arrange medical treatment for Madam Elaine immediately!”
Jakel said expressionlessly, “You don’t need to arrange for medical treatment. The hospital that you arrange would not be worthy of Madam Elaine’s distinguished status. I will arrange for Madam Elaine to go to the best private hospital in New York for medical treatment.”
The division chief said embarrassedly, “Mr. White, our police department doesn’t have such a high budget to arrange for suspects to go to the top private hospitals for medical treatment...”
Jakel snorted in disdain and said lightly, “All the expenses for Madam Elaine’s medical treatment are none of your concern as they will all be borne by my client.”
The division chief was nervous for a moment and then thought to himself, ‘According to what Mad Dog White is saying, he should have been entrusted by someone else to help Elaine get off the crime. His client must be a rich and powerful tycoon. Could it be that there is really a very powerful person backing this woman, Elaine, up?’
As he thought of this, he felt even more uneasy and apprehensive. So, he could only smile awkwardly and say, “Mr. White, according to the regulations, we have to send police officers to accompany Madam Elaine even if you arrange for her to visit another hospital. You should also know that Madam Elaine is now a suspect in a criminal case, and we cannot let her out of our sight.”
