CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 97: STOP AT THE RIGHT POINT

In the interrogation room.

Xiaowang sat opposite, staring at Yang Chen.

"I advise you to answer honestly! Where have you been these past few years you disappeared!" Xiaowang asked sternly.

Outside, Gu Xijun was directing through the surveillance footage. She decided to confront directly this time, to shake Yang Chen’s confidence.

"You can choose not to speak, but we already have some evidence. When the time comes, you won’t have the chance to confess for leniency!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

To be honest, even if Yang Chen was willing to speak, they wouldn’t dare to listen!

The things he had experienced were top secret. These people had no authority to know! Nor did they deserve to!

"What are you laughing at!" Gu Xijun stared at the screen and shouted into the intercom.

Xiaowang repeated.

Yang Chen sneered, "Are you sure you want to investigate my identity?"

Xiaowang was stunned, waiting for Gu Xijun’s directive.

"So you are admitting it?" Gu Xijun stared through the screen into Yang Chen’s eyes, hoping to see something in them.

Yang Chen’s lips curled slightly, "If you want to investigate, be prepared to face the consequences! I think these consequences are beyond what you, your superiors, or anyone in Ningchuan can bear! Also, let me warn you, let this end here, or you will surely regret it!"

"Are you threatening me!" Xiaowang slammed the table and shouted.

Yang Chen gave a disdainful snort and said no more.

Gu Xijun frowned, wanting Xiaowang to continue questioning, but Lawyer Sun had arrived.

Gu Xijun instructed others to deal with Lawyer Sun, trying to extract something from Yang Chen during this time.

However, before she could ask, the phone rang.

It was Zhao Wende!

Gu Xijun gritted her teeth, knowing someone must have contacted Zhao Wende to complain about her!

Seeing the phone vibrate constantly, Gu Xijun cruelly hung up the call.

After hanging up, Gu Xijun immediately said to Xiaowang, "Ask him what he’s been doing all these years, why he didn’t return even on breaks, and what type of Guard he is! Find out everything for me!"

Just after speaking, Gu Xijun’s phone rang again.

She was annoyed, ready to turn it off, but saw the caller ID— it was the Director!

Gu Xijun felt a jolt in her heart and quickly answered the call.

"Gu Xijun!" As soon as the call connected, there was a furious roar from the other end, "What’s wrong with you, Zhao Wende called you, and you didn’t answer, do I have to call you myself?"

"No! I didn’t see it just now, do you need something?" Gu Xijun hurriedly asked, lying without blushing.

The voice on the other end was angry: "Release Yang Chen immediately! Right now! Why are you holding the victim instead of dealing with the robbers? I’m warning you, stop chasing pointless leads, do you hear me!"

Gu Xijun’s face changed, she realized something immediately, and quickly said, "Yes, yes! I will fully cooperate with the work and won’t disrupt the organization’s plans anymore."

This completely puzzled the person on the other end. Cooperate with what work? What arrangement?

He wanted to ask what was going on, but the call had already ended.

Gu Xijun directly told Xiaowang, "Release him!"

"Release him?" Xiaowang was a bit surprised.

"Yes! Release him immediately, say the investigation showed he’s innocent, the main blame is on the thief’s side, return the money that was stolen from him!" Gu Xijun said.

"Alright!" Xiaowang stood up and said to Yang Chen, "The interrogation is over, you can leave now."

Yang Chen sneered, his eagle eyes sharp as he stared at the camera in front of him.

Sitting in front of the screen, Gu Xijun looked into Yang Chen’s eyes and felt a stabbing pain.

She increasingly felt Yang Chen was a ticking time bomb in Ningchuan!

Seeing Xiaowang leading Yang Chen to process paperwork, Gu Xijun heard someone outside asking, "Who’s the person in charge of this case?"

The voice was a woman’s. Gu Xijun thought of someone and quickly stood up to go out.

She had to see what kind of person had the influence to get the Director involved!

Stepping out, Gu Xijun was stunned.

This woman was incredibly beautiful!

Not just beautiful, her figure was impeccably perfect.

A kind of fiery beauty, not overdone.

She couldn’t help but envy the woman before her, looking like a celestial being, with such a great figure.

Ye Xin noticed Gu Xijun, glanced her up and down, finally focusing on her prominent figure, frowning slightly.

"Are you the person in charge?" Ye Xin’s eyebrows knitted, her gaze icy, face covered in frost.

"Yes! It’s me, rest assured, we will definitely cooperate with your work in the future and won’t disrupt your plans." Gu Xijun said earnestly.

Ye Xin was puzzled, a bit baffled by this statement.

"Did your boss call you?" Ye Xin asked.

Gu Xijun nodded, "Yes, they did!"

"That’s good!" Ye Xin said coldly, "I hope you understand your position, and don’t trouble Yang Chen again, or I will ensure you have endless troubles!"

"I understand! I understand!" Gu Xijun nodded repeatedly.

The other security officers looked at Gu Xijun in astonishment, hardly daring to believe it, was this still their Captain Gu? Since when did she become so agreeable?

At this moment, Lawyer Sun came out with Yang Chen.

Yang Chen saw Gu Xijun, a flash of past incidents crossed his mind, making him a bit embarrassed.

However, the embarrassment was quickly suppressed. Yang Chen walked over, staring at Gu Xijun, "The people you find suspicious aren’t necessarily bad, they might be someone you can’t afford to offend. If you keep this up, I think you will regret it!"

Gu Xijun sneered, staring at Yang Chen, "No need to threaten me, I’m just doing my job by law."

Yang Chen was about to speak when Gu Xijun raised her hand to stop him, "I have no doubt, your skills are too good, inevitably causing suspicion. As for you saying I’m troubling you, that’s nonsense. While in both cases you were indeed defending yourself, your defense was obviously excessive! With your skills, taking them down was easily doable, yet you went further and broke someone’s arm, that’s clearly intentional harm. I can’t not arrest you. If you don’t want to come here again, stop making these mistakes."

Yang Chen: "..."

He blinked, looking at Ye Xin, whose face was frosty. How did it become his fault?

Excessive defense?

He had already been very lenient, okay?

If this were on Lijia Continent, Yang Chen would have kicked someone to death, alright?

But given the situation back home, Yang Chen seemed to have gone a bit overboard.

So next time... stop in moderation?

Yang Chen thought to himself quietly.
