Power and wealth bring fragrance

The roar of Sun Chao, a young man and a confidant of Zhao Gang, the vice chairman of the tax investigation committee, echoed throughout the single room, instantly waking up Zhao Xuan, who was still in a daze.

"people?"

"The person is right here... huh?"

Zhao Xuan's consciousness was still stuck in the moment before he lost consciousness when he was attacked by evil spirits. He instinctively looked towards where Liu Xiangrong was.

Then he saw nothing.

There wasn't a soul in front of the empty wall, let alone Liu Xiangrong.

Zhao Xuan's eyes widened instantly, his body sat up straight, and his head swayed from side to side at an unprecedented speed, searching for Liu Xiangrong's whereabouts.

When all that met his eyes was emptiness, Zhao Xuan's face turned even whiter than the first snow of winter, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

Where are they?

"That's impossible, the person has been here the whole time!"

Zhao Xuan muttered to himself in disbelief, his face and eyes filled with an intense, unyielding panic, even more terrifying than when he had just seen a ghost in his hallucination.

He did come here tonight with Zhao Gang's tacit approval.

Zhao Gang tacitly agreed that he could retaliate against Liu Xiangrong at will, as long as no one was hurt or escaped.

Because of Liu Xiangrong, Zhao Gang still has a great use.

That's right, the big shot who has already booked Liu Xiangrong is Zhao Gang!

Although Zhao Xuan did not know why Zhao Gang wanted to reserve Liu Xiangrong, logically speaking, someone of Zhao Gang's level would not lack women, and it was impossible for him to keep Liu Xiangrong because of her beauty.

However, since Zhao Gang had ordered that Liu Xiangrong be kept alive and unharmed, he had no choice but to comply.

But now that Liu Xiangrong, whom Zhao Gang valued highly, is gone, things have gotten really serious!

Given the nature of Zhao Gang and other high-ranking officials, their first priority wouldn't be to find the person, but rather to cause trouble for the person who lost the person!

In other words, Zhao Gang will cause trouble for Zhao Xuan first!

Their thinking is very simple: I entrusted this person to you, and now you've lost him. If I don't look for him, who else can I look for?

We either find them or face their wrath and retaliation.

The thought of Zhao Gang questioning him in a fit of rage made Zhao Xuan's legs tremble uncontrollably, and the wet patches on his crotch became even more pronounced.

This guy is scared to death again.

The stench of urine that rose again made Sun Chao cover his nose in disgust. Looking at Zhao Xuan, who was slumped on the ground in fear and unable to speak, Sun Chao was both angry and furious, wishing he could kill him with a knife.

"More trouble than they're worth!"

"Go explain to Young Master Gang yourself!"

Sun Chao slapped Zhao Xuan hard across the face, kicked him to the ground, and then ignored him, giving a stern order to the security guards.

"Notify all security personnel to cancel all leave and return to headquarters immediately!"

"Immediately seal off all entrances and exits to the headquarters building. In conjunction with the monitoring room personnel, search every floor and every room!"

"We must find him no matter what!"

The eight security guards, having returned empty-handed, solemnly agreed and quickly split up to get back to work.

Sun Chao was also preparing to leave the single room that reeked of urine, his face grave as he prepared to report the matter to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Xuan was deeply shaken when he saw Sun prepare to leave without even glancing at him.

He knew that Sun Chao had completely abandoned him.

After Sun Chao leaves, he will definitely notify Zhao Gang as soon as possible.

At that time, he will face Zhao Gang's fury and retaliation, which will be like a raging storm.

He won't make it.

He will die!

Upon realizing this, an overwhelming desire to survive surged within Zhao Xuan.

Provoked, he suddenly grabbed Sun Chao's leg and cried out in pain, begging for mercy.

"I see!"

"I know where Liu Xiangrong went!"

"It must have been that bastard Wei Yuan who did it!"

"He rushed here as soon as he learned that Liu Xiangrong had been arrested; he definitely has ill intentions."

"It was definitely him!"

In a moment of desperation, Zhao Xuan disregarded whether it was reasonable or not and directly pinned the blame on Sun Chao.

Sun Chao was about to kick Zhao Xuan away in disgust when he heard these words and immediately stopped.

Sun Chao glanced down at Zhao Xuan and snorted coldly.

You'd better tell the truth.

Having spent years navigating the world of the powerful and influential, Zhao Xuan had honed his skills in reading people to perfection. Upon hearing Sun Chao's words, his eyes lit up.

A chance for survival has arrived.

Zhao Xuan said hastily, his tone extremely firm.

"That's right, it was Wei Yuan, it must have been him!"

"Almost all of Liu Xiangrong's family members have died, so there is no one to take care of her."

"Besides her lover Wei Yuan, who else would save her? It has to be Wei Yuan!"

It must be said that although Zhao Xuan was talking nonsense and trying to pin the blame on someone, he inadvertently hit the nail on the head.

Sun Chao didn't respond to Zhao Xuan's comment.

He knew, of course, that Zhao Xuan was talking nonsense and trying to frame someone.

But Sun Chao didn't care at all.

His needs were actually the same as Zhao Xuan's.

Regardless of whether Wei Yuan is innocent or not, he just needs a scapegoat now.

He was just a scapegoat who could take the blame for Zhao Gang's rage when he was furious!

Originally, Zhao Xuan was supposed to be the scapegoat. Since Zhao Xuan was unwilling to be the scapegoat and offered another more suitable candidate, that's fine too.

Anyway, it doesn't have to be Sun Chao himself.

Sun Chao kicked Zhao Xuan away in disgust.

The smell of urine was absolutely awful.

"Where is Wei Yuan, the one you mentioned?"

Zhao Xuan was kicked and fell, but he didn't care. He scrambled to his feet and bowed obsequiously.

"He's in room number 3, I'll take you there right away!"

Zhao Xuan disregarded his pride and fawned over Sun Chao, rushing out of the private room to lead the way.

At this point, saving face is useless; let's get through this first.

Sun Chao followed Zhao Xuan out of the private room and went straight to room number 3, looking inside through the iron bars on the window.

First, Sun Chao led his men in to search the place, and then Sun Chao beat Zhao Xuan, who screamed in pain. The whole thing has already caused a huge uproar.

The other suspects in the same cells had long been woken up, but in cell number 3, Wei Yuan remained soundly asleep with his eyes closed, as if the commotion outside didn't exist.

Such silence is the biggest anomaly!

Sun Chao's eyes suddenly became incredibly sharp.

He had originally planned to just go through the motions and find a scapegoat to take the blame, but now he suddenly became more alert.

This is so unusual, something's definitely not right!

Could it be that they were so lucky that they just grabbed a scapegoat and ended up catching the real culprit?

"Go in and take him under control!"

Sun Chao shouted in a low voice, and the four burly security guards beside him silently opened the door of the private room, rushed into the room, and pounced on Wei Yuan, who was lying on the bed.

Wei Yuan, who was fast asleep with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, flashed away from the bed, and the two burly security guards missed their target!

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, the fragile makeshift bed frame collapsed under the weight of the two burly security guards!
