Power and wealth bring fragrance

"Don't move!"

"Hands up!"

The two security guards missed their target, but the remaining two guards, who were on guard duty, reacted quickly, drawing and raising their guns, aiming at the committee member standing on the ground, and shouting a warning.

Their fingers were already on the trigger, ready to fire without hesitation should Wei Yuan make any unexpected move!

Sun Chao and Zhao Xuan were also startled and quickly took a step back, looking at Wei Yuan with suspicion and uncertainty.

They didn't even see clearly what Wei Yuan did when he jumped from the bed to the floor!

Is this guy some kind of kung fu master?

If that's the case, then he's even more suspicious!

However, they would have to stay far away to avoid being killed by Wei Yuan if he didn't like them.

However, Wei Yuan did not fight back as they expected. Seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, Wei Yuan was startled and quickly shouted.

"Hey bro, take it easy."

"What are you guys doing?!"

"Not only did they arrest me for no reason, but the food is also as bad as pig swill, and now they won't even let me sleep?"

"You're not planning to pull that 'cooking raw pork' trick, framing me and killing me on some assault charge or something, are you?"

Note: "Steamed pork" refers to finding a scapegoat to take the blame and close the case. Brothers who are familiar with Hong Kong movies should be very familiar with this. This was the most popular thing to do in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 70s.

Hearing Wei Yuan's words and seeing his cowardly expression, a hint of disappointment flashed across Sun Chao's eyes.

It seems he was wrong.

This guy probably reacted quickly and managed to evade the security guards' capture.

Even with a gun pointed at him, he still backed down.

But admitting defeat is fine, at least we don't have to bother arresting them.

"Arrest him and take him to the interrogation room."

Sun Chao ordered that the two armed security guards remain on alert.

The other two security guards, who had missed their target, stood up with dark faces, roughly handcuffed Wei Yuan's hands behind his back, and shoved him out of the private room.

Wei Yuan didn't take it seriously and followed them to the interrogation room.

Once inside, two security guards pinned Wei Yuan to the interrogation chair, handcuffing his hands to the table and his feet to the chair legs, rendering him completely immobile.

Sun Chao didn't go inside. Instead, he went to a corner with his phone and dialed Zhao Gang's number with a sullen face.

The phone rang seven or eight times before someone answered, and Zhao Gang's slightly tired but somewhat impatient voice came through.

"What's so urgent that you need to call me now, so late at night?"

Sun Chao gave a wry smile and forced himself to speak in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman, but there is indeed a very important matter that requires your attention."

"Zhao Xuan lost Liu Xiangrong."

After a one-second pause, Zhao Gang's voice rang out again, no longer showing fatigue or impatience, but only a sharp and chilling tone.

What does "lost" mean?

Sun Chao recounted the whole story without reservation, including how Zhao Xuan framed Wei Yuan. After finishing, he held his breath and waited for Zhao Gang's decision.

The deathly silence didn't last long before Zhao Gang's cold, sharp voice rang out again.

"That good-for-nothing Zhao Xuan ruined my plans!"

"Lock him up. He's representing the Tang family of the Bafu Group, making a phone call to the person in charge of the Tang family now."

"Because they lost an important prisoner, they want an explanation from me."

"Interrogate that kid named Wei Yuan first, and see if we can get any clues out of him."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it when I get there."

"By the way, keep this news under wraps. Absolutely no leaks!"

After saying that, Zhao Gang hung up the phone without waiting for Sun Chao's reply.

Sun Chao didn't care at all; on the contrary, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

He managed to extricate himself from this matter, albeit somewhat.

All that's left is to keep Wei Yuan locked up until Zhao Gang goes to work during the day; the rest is none of his business.

Sun Chao put away his phone and walked toward the interrogation room.

Zhao Xuan stood in front of the interrogation room door. When he saw Sun Chao walking over, he hurriedly opened the door for him in a fawning manner, nodding and bowing obsequiously.

"Brother Chao, this way please."

Sun Chao stopped, glanced at him coldly, and beckoned to the security guard standing at the door of the interrogation room.

The security guard came over, respectfully greeted him as "Sir," and waited for instructions.

Sun Chao pointed at Zhao Xuan and said coldly.

"Are there any empty interrogation rooms? Lock him up."

"clear!"

The security guard readily agreed, extending his thick arm to grab Zhao Xuan's arm and easily handcuffing him.

Zhao Xuan was caught off guard by Sun Chao's sudden arrest. He thought he had already gotten away with it and panicked, shouting and yelling.

"Brother Chao, Grandpa Chao, Ancestor Chao, what are you doing?!"

Sun Chao frowned, and the security guard, quick to react, covered Zhao Xuan's mouth with a slap.

No matter how much he struggled, he could no longer utter a single word.

Sun Chao then relaxed his brow and said expressionlessly, "This is the order that Vice Chairman Zhao Gang just gave."

"You were here tonight to help the Tang family. You lost people, and the Tang family is also involved."

"Vice Chairman Zhao said that the Tang family needs to give an explanation."

"So you'd better think about how to talk to the Tang family and get them to pay for it on your behalf!"

"Lock him up, but don't confiscate his phone."

Sun Chao waved his hand, not even glancing at the pale-faced Zhao Xuan, and then had the security guards take him away.

Sun Chao immediately pushed open the door and walked straight into the interrogation room, glancing up at the camera hanging in the corner of the wall.

In the monitoring room, an investigator shrugged indifferently and turned off the recording equipment in Wei Yuan's interrogation room.

Only after seeing the red indicator light, which showed the camera was working, go out did Sun Chao feel relieved and pull out a chair to sit opposite Wei Yuan.

Seeing Wei Yuan's composed expression, Sun Chao didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"I don't have much time, so I won't waste any more time."

"Tell me everything you know, including your relationship with Liu Xiangrong and how you helped her escape."

"Speak out, and you can live."

"If you don't tell, you'll be in big trouble."

"I'll give you one minute to think about it."

After saying that, Sun Chao started staring at his watch and began the countdown.

Wei Yuan stared wide-eyed at Sun Chao in shock.

"Sister Rong ran away?"

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

"When did this happen?"

"You arrested people, and now you can't even keep them, and you're asking me?"

"What do I know?!"

"I ate your pig slop tonight and slept all night. How was I supposed to know where she went!"

Wei Yuan immediately launched into a tirade against Sun Chao, whose expression quickly turned cold.

There's no need to watch the countdown anymore; Wei Yuan's words have already made his stance clear.

Sun Chao stared intently at Wei Yuan and slowly nodded.

"very good."

"Since you put it that way, I hope you can keep up this stubbornness."

"Someone come here."

At Sun Chao's call, the two security guards standing at the door immediately came in, heads bowed, ready to obey.

"Give him a good welcome and get him to tell me what I want to know."

"By the way, be more refined, don't make it too ugly."

Sun Chao coldly uttered a sentence, then turned and left the interrogation room.

The two burly security guards naturally understood Sun Chao's words. They looked up at Wei Yuan, their fleshy faces suddenly contorted with rage.

Wei Yuan looked at the two security guards slowly approaching, his face full of helplessness.

"Gentlemen, I need to discuss something with you."

"Don't hit my face, okay?"
