In the car.
Hearing this, Jimmy finally figured out what Tony wanted to do. He immediately breathed a silent sigh of relief and nodded. "Okay."
Tony smiled, his smile full of smugness, feeling incredibly amused inside. He remained silent for the time being, focusing on driving.
Jimmy waited for a short while, hesitated repeatedly, but finally couldn't help asking, "Where are you taking me?"
Tony shot Jimmy a look of contempt. Because he was in a good mood, he felt playful and decided to scare Jimmy. "Haven't you seen movies? This kind of private deal has to be done where there are no people, so others won't know. Besides, if we can't reach an agreement, it's also convenient for me to shoot you."
The effect of these words was excellent, so good that it somewhat exceeded Tony's expectations.
Jimmy instantly shivered in fear, dumbfounded, his eyes full of terror.
Seeing this, Tony almost laughed out loud. He held it in with great difficulty.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Jimmy recovered a little from his terror, his mouth opening and closing several times before he finally spoke with a slightly trembling voice. "As long as you don't send me to prison, whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I agree."
"Heh," Tony sneered. "I hope so."
"I promise!" Jimmy said again with conviction.
Tony smiled but didn't speak.
In a flash, more than ten minutes passed.
Tony drove the car to a piece of wasteland, parked, turned off the engine, and smiled at Jimmy. "Alright, let's talk. First, tell me, how long have you been stealing cars?"
Jimmy wasn't stupid. He hurriedly shook his head in panic. "Not long, not long, less than a year."
Tony didn't believe it, but couldn't be bothered to care. "From now on, you are not allowed to steal cars again. Otherwise, prison will be your home. Do you hear me clearly?"
"I hear you! I absolutely won't steal cars again!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, guaranteeing firmly.
"Heh," Tony sneered again. "Secondly, I need you to double your efforts. No matter what happens, you must stay with Fiona. Ideally, marry her!"
Hearing these words.
"????" Jimmy froze, somewhat doubting his ears.
The reason was simple.
On the way here, Jimmy wasn't idle. He thought a lot about the reasons for Tony's actions. After thinking it over, he felt the most likely possibility could only be Fiona...
And the result turned out like this...
"Okay, I will definitely try hard." Stunned as he was, Jimmy blinked and agreed nonetheless.
"Very good. Third point, Fiona must receive the punishment she deserves! I need you to hurt her without leaving a trace! As for exactly how to do it, wait for my notice!"
"When I call you, you must answer immediately! Whatever I tell you to do, you must do it without a single word of nonsense!"
"Understood?"
After listening.
Jimmy, who wasn't stupid, completely understood the situation, his thoughts spinning rapidly.
Is this love turning into hate?
Fiona hurt Tony, and Tony wants revenge!
Well, nothing wrong with that, very reasonable...
Jimmy could understand.
But the problem was, Jimmy really loved Fiona and truly didn't want or wish to hurt her. Therefore, after a brief silence, he decided to struggle a bit. "Tony, Fiona treated you like that, I understand you hate her. But doing this won't solve any problems. You are a good person, and a good cop, you don't want to do this."
Tony was amused. He raised his eyebrows and laughed. "Good cop? A good cop would take you directly to the police station and ensure you go to prison."
"Come on, tell me, do you still hope I'll be a good cop?"
That was a goddamn killer move!
"..." Jimmy didn't know how to refute and was speechless for a moment.
So this is how good it feels to be a bad guy! Tony watched, feeling very satisfied, thinking to himself.
Done. Tony spoke again, asking forcefully, "Well, do you agree or not? Hurry up, I don't have that much free time to waste on you!"
Hearing this.
Jimmy truly absolutely did not want to go to prison. "How long do you want to take revenge?"
Tony grinned. "Until I don't hate her anymore!"
"..." Jimmy had a huge headache. He gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, and struggled again. "Some people can hate for a lifetime... If you don't give a time limit, won't I be controlled by you forever? That won't do..."
Hearing this, Tony's brow twitched.
The fact was.
Tony also didn't want Jimmy to go to prison.
Jimmy going to prison would be of no benefit to Tony.
So.
"What you said makes sense. Then one year. I think one year should be enough," Tony relented.
Hearing this, Jimmy instantly felt a burst of joy.
Just one year; it would pass quickly.
Trading one year to avoid prison was still very worthwhile.
As for hurting Fiona...
It can only be said that Jimmy really didn't want to go to prison.
"After one year, you ensure you won't use these photos to arrest me?" Jimmy wanted to confirm.
"I'm a cop, I keep my word. As long as you obediently do as I say and stop stealing cars, I promise to destroy these photos and electronic archives. Absolutely no third person will know about this," Tony gave a very serious promise.
Jimmy felt somewhat relieved. Although not one hundred percent reassured, in this situation, this was the only way. "Okay."
Tony smiled and extended his hand. "Happy cooperation."
Jimmy had to cooperate, shaking hands with Tony and forcing a smile. "Happy cooperation."
"I'll drive you back," Tony didn't waste words. Preparing to move to the next step, he started the car and drove towards the Gallagher house.
After letting Jimmy out, Tony didn't dawdle and drove straight to the park where Lip did business.
Since he wanted to take revenge on Fiona, naturally he couldn't rely entirely on Jimmy.
Moreover, Tony did indeed want to do something personally.
Soon.
In a corner of the park.
Tony parked the car, took out binoculars, and looked at Lip, who was doing business and selling briskly.
Because Lip was selling weed almost openly, it didn't take a few minutes for Tony to see Lip sell a few joints with his own eyes. Tony got what he wanted, then put down the binoculars and drove back to the police station.
Tony wanted to torture Lip to achieve the goal of hurting Fiona. He didn't have much interest in making Lip stay in juvie for too long, so he didn't think about taking photos as evidence. He had another method in mind.
Back at the police station.
Tony briskly found a young officer who had only joined a few months ago. "Jason, change into plain clothes and help me catch someone."
As a rookie, Jason had no reason to refuse and agreed very simply. "Okay!"
A few minutes later.
Tony drove Jason back to the park.
On the way, Tony explained the specific operation.
Jason listened excitedly. "No problem, guarantee to get it done."
Time flew.
In the park, Jason got out of the car, wandered leisurely for about twenty minutes, and then walked towards the van where Lip was.
"A bottle of cold soda, a bag of chips, and two joints," arriving in front of Lip, Jason took out money and said.
