Fortunately, when Leslie's car went down the ravine, there was no lake or mountain rock below.
However, Leslie was old. He suffered a lumbar vertebrae fracture, but his life was not in danger.
As he laid on the bed, he cursed.
"When I find out who did this to me, I'll kill them!"
Upon hearing his words, Samuel, who had just arrived from Greene City, gave him a pinch on his waist with no expression on his face.
The next second, Leslie almost jumped up because of pain.
"It hurts! You old man, do you want to pinch me to death?"
Samuel rolled his eyes. "Since you know that you're old, don't try to be a hero! Do you still think that you're a young man in his twenties who can always fight and kill people? When something like this happens, you must remember that you should be working your brain, not your body!"
"You're smart too, so why don't you think of a solution as well?"
Samuel put his hand on his forehead and said, "That's why I'm here!"
After that, Samuel tidied up his clothes and stood up.
"Have a good rest here! Wait and see what I'll do next!" Samuel said with a smile.
Leslie was not convinced. When Samuel left, he asked his subordinate curiously.
When Samuel left, he asked his subordinate curiously, "Where is he going?"
The subordinate answered, "It seems that Mr. Chilton is going to the detention center!"
Leslie sneered and said, "Humph, I thought that he had a different approach! Isn't he doing the same thing I did?"
"It's not the same!" the subordinate said weakly. Leslie asked, "What's the difference?"
"It seems that Miss Naomi was the one who asked someone to invite him there!"
Leslie immediately frowned and said, "Naomi, this girl, why didn't she call me? See if I won't...Ahhh..."
Leslie was going to get up, but in the next second, he was in so much pain that he covered his wound and fell back onto the bed again.
At the detention center, when Naomi saw Samuel, before she could say a word, Samuel had already spoken!
"It's not that Master Chilton doesn't want to help you this time, but you've done too poorly this time!"
Naomi was stunned. As soon as she caught Samuel's eyes, she immediately cooperated with him.
"Master Chilton, I really don't know what's going on this time!"
"Stop talking! Because of you, something happened to Leslie and the Louis family! Do you think I still want to get involved in this matter? I can't handle this anymore. Don't have to look for me anymore!"
"Master Chilton, except for you, I can't find anyone else to help me!"
"That's none of my business! I'll bring Leslie back to recuperate. Take care of yourself! Remember, there isn't such an incompetent person like you in the Granger or George families! I'm so disappointed in you!"
After Samuel said that, he threw the work tag in his hand towards Naomi!
"I quit!"
"Samuel!" Naomi was also angry.
"Mom told me that you've been working for my grandfather until today, and I have always been respectful towards you. I really didn't expect you to be such a person! How could you give up at such a critical moment? I'm really disappointed in you!"
After that, she threw the tag towards him again.
"It's not up to you to decide whether you continue to work or not! If you really don't want to have anything to do with me, go and tell Mom! If she agrees, I welcome you to leave at any time!"
The two of them left the scene unhappily. The sound of their quarrel was so loud that everyone in the corridor could hear them clearly!
Samuel stood where he was, still thinking about what he had just ordered Jackie to do.
"Remember, from now on, you are me, and I am you! I will find an excuse to throw you out of the car, and then, go to the hospital in my clothes. Under my name, go through Leslie's discharge procedures, and then take him back to Greene City. Remember, don't make any mistakes!"
Jackie nodded and said, "What if Mr. Clarke doesn't want to?"
"What if he doesn't want to?" Samuel snorted and slammed his hand onto Jackie's head.
"Do you think he's a fool? When he sees you wearing my clothes, he will understand everything! You have to know that he is much smarter than you!"
Jackie was rendered speechless.
Leslie and Samuel really loved and hated each other!
It turned out that Samuel was right. As expected, when Leslie saw Jackie in Samuel's clothes, he took the initiative to cooperate.
Not only did he quarrel with Jamie, who was disguised as Samuel, but he also scolded 'Samuel' at the entrance when he was about to leave the hospital.
He shouted that Samuel was ungrateful and was a villain!
Jamie did not wipe his sweat until he got into the car.
Leslie's wrinkled face beamed with pride as he said, "How about that? I did a good job, didn't I?"
Jamie nodded and said, "Yes, you did great, but I suspect that you made it a little too personal!"
Leslie retorted with a serious face, "I didn't! Don't get me wrong! Don't be like your boss who treats good people as bad ones!"
Jamie was dumbfounded.
Outsiders like him really would fail to understand the friendship between the two old men!
