Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

........

Meanwhile, on the first floor of the Thousand Star Pavilion, several large flying cars with flashing police lights slowly landed.

Many people dressed in Interstellar Peace Corporation uniforms quickly got off the vehicles. A serious-looking middle-aged man led the way without stopping and went straight into the lobby.

Upon seeing this scene, the lobby manager at the front desk took a closer look and his expression immediately changed.

"Oh my, it's Minister Risco who has graced us with his presence. What brings you here today?"

Risco was unsmiling at this moment, which was contrary to his usual demeanor.

"I'm here today on company business. Is Mr. Leo, the director of Qianxing Group, up here?"

"Um...yes, the board members are entertaining distinguished guests."

The lobby manager's expression changed, and he gave a meaningful look.

"Hmph!" the minister said coldly.

"They still dare to pass messages face to face? Take these people under control!"

The subordinates behind him stepped forward and apprehended all those who had made the suspicious move.

Upon seeing this, Risco felt a long-lost sense of pleasure.

IPC is ultimately just an IPC. As the head of the Thousand Star City branch, he inevitably felt somewhat constrained when dealing with these business partners.

But now, after consulting with a deputy minister at headquarters, he is full of confidence.

After Lin Yuan revealed the identity of the mastermind, he was able to openly arrest people to demonstrate his ministerial-level authority.

"Hmph, don't think that just because you're a director of the Qianxing Group and have family connections, you're so great that you dare to make a move on the deputy minister's granddaughter. You're asking for death."

That's right, according to Lin Yuan's previous agreement, the credit for this arrest has been partially attributed to him.

As for why the target was locked on... the other party obviously wanted to use the guise of entertaining distinguished guests as a cover, while setting a trap to capture Mr. Mo.

And Lin Yuan and his group were using Mr. Mo as bait to lure him out.

The company entourage strode into the elevator and headed straight for the floor where the reception was being held.

The elevator doors opened, and several security guards looked over upon hearing the noise.

Seeing their menacing approach, he was about to step forward to stop them, but was forced back by their displayed credentials and imposing aura.

"Is this the one?" Risco asked.

"Yes," the assistant confirmed.

A barely perceptible flicker of excitement crossed Minister Risco's face; he rarely visited the front lines in person. At this moment, however, he found it quite thrilling.

.......

Inside the private room, everyone was surrounding Kurihara-kun, chatting and laughing.

Although Director Leo appeared to be chatting and laughing, his mind was actually preoccupied with the commotion downstairs.

There was no response for a long time. He appeared calm on the surface, but anxiety was growing in his heart.

"What's going on? It takes this long to arrest one person? What a waste of money to support them!"

He was secretly annoyed when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

A sudden sound rang out, and the scene fell silent.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the door, and the person who had arrived late looked particularly excited.

"I was late because I didn't drive my own flying car. This person is so late, did they drive a flying car from the Motor Group?"

The door opened.

Risco entered the room, his gaze sweeping across the entire space before lingering briefly on the white-haired youth.

"Who do we have here... It's Minister Risco! What an honor to have you here! I'm so sorry, if I had known you were available today, I would have sent you an invitation much earlier."

Director Leo recognized the man and was secretly alarmed.

He quickly got up to greet him, his face beaming with smiles.

Although he was still concerned about what was happening downstairs, his mind was racing, trying to figure out the purpose of the company minister's sudden visit.

"Director Leo, you don't need to be so polite."

Risco said with a smile.

"I've come today to invite you for tea; there are some things I need to ask you about."

"Is there...something you need to know?"

Leo's expression changed slightly, and an ominous premonition quietly rose within him.

"Yes, it's not a big deal."

Risco's smile remained unchanged, but several company agents behind him were already subtly closing in.

Leo instinctively turned his gaze to the white-haired youth.

The young man remained calm, met his gaze, and nodded slightly.

"This must be the head of the Thousand Star City branch of the Interstellar Peace Company?" the young man asked slowly.

"That's right. And you are?"

"This is Mr. Kurihara Tetsu, one of the core successors of the Congyun Group. His visit to Qianxing City is to discuss an important investment."

Leo quickly explained, his confidence seemingly returning.

"The Kurihara family?"

Risco's expression hardened slightly.

Congyun Group is a name known to everyone in Tver.

Even at Sith headquarters, he had a considerable network of connections within the Market Development and Business Consolidation departments. This influence was far beyond what he could match.

Noticing that the other party's aura had subsided slightly, the white-haired youth smiled calmly:

"Minister Risco, is there some misunderstanding? Perhaps I should first clarify things with Mr. Leo, and then have him personally come to explain later. What do you think?"

Minister Risco looked hesitant.

Just then, he heard a barely audible notification sound.

"Think of your granddaughter."

The next second, his expression returned to solemnity:

"No, please ask Director Leo to come with me."

What Kurihara family? They dare to protect the person who kidnapped the vice minister's granddaughter. Isn't this the same as kidnapping my mother?

"Whoever hinders my progress is the culprit," Risco thought righteously.

Seeing the unmoved Minister Risco, the white-haired youth shook his head.

“Mr. Leo, then go ahead. Trust the company; it will handle this impartially.”

"We can't let it fall into the company's hands... Don't you understand why?!"

Leo roared inwardly, but could not utter it aloud.

He gave the young man a deep look, then finally got up dejectedly and silently left with Risco and his group.

Meanwhile, in the private room downstairs, Mr. Mo straightened his clothes and calmly stepped out.

He gently closed the door behind him and disappeared into the long corridor.

.........

"The target has been apprehended, and our people are searching his home and office."

Xiang Yu said.

“Make them hand the person over to us, otherwise our granddaughter will not be given to him.”

Lin Yuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"I always feel like something's missing."

......

Chapter 111 Joint Committee Meeting

After Leo was taken away by the company, the atmosphere at the reception instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Amidst a horrified and anxious gaze, the white-haired youth rose and left with a somber expression.

After getting into his private flying car, Kurihara Tetsu tapped his knuckles lightly on the armrest, lost in thought.

"Has the company... noticed something?" he wondered to himself.

The Qianxing City branch personally made the arrests. Which department is behind this?

He did not intend to use family resources to pressure and get the person out. At this moment, any move to put pressure on the Thousand Star City branch would only attract more unnecessary attention within the company, which would be counterproductive.

"Does Leo's summons mean his identity has been exposed? If his identity is exposed, does it mean the company is preparing to take action against the Mutual Aid Association? And if they take action against the Mutual Aid Association... has the company already detected any clues about the Congyun Group?"

Thinking of this, Kurihara Tetsu's expression suddenly turned serious.

He sent a short message through an encrypted channel, and then opened the family's confidential communication channel.

"The situation is different. Our plan may need to be launched ahead of schedule."

"The time is not yet ripe."

A moment later, a message came in.

Upon seeing the reply, Kurihara Toru frowned.

"Something's not right, we can't wait any longer."

After thinking for a moment, he finally took out another communicator and sent a signal.

Are you ready?
