In the Dragon Investigation Bureau.
Ye Longlin sat in the Director's office. Shi Potian had already been escorted to the interrogation room, and no one was paying attention to him now.
"Please, try this tea. A friend gave it to me."
Director Zhang stood nervously beside Ye Longlin. He didn't know the identity of the person before him, but the system had flagged a warning when he tried to search their information, which immediately made him realize that Ye Longlin's identity was far from simple.
This was the first time he had encountered someone whose information could not be found in their system, and the system had issued a warning.
Even when searching for information on military personnel in the past, it would display a "system mismatch" prompt.
Later, Ye Longlin monopolized the power of the southern province, and he had already understood that the other party's identity was definitely not problematic. Otherwise, how could this happen? But it just happened, and crucially, no one could say anything!
This...
"I give you two days. Use the Dragon Investigation Bureau's authority to indict me in the military court. For these two days, bring all the 'evidence' given to you, and make a note of each of these people."
In the next two days, many people would come to the Dragon Investigation Bureau to provide evidence. These were all people who wanted to get rid of Ye Longlin, so they had to be noted down one by one.
"Director Zhang, many people are here wanting to confirm if Mr. Ye has really been apprehended by us."
At this moment, figures appeared at the entrance of the Dragon Investigation Bureau.
The Li family, the Wang family, the Yang family, and more. More than a dozen people were gathered, and it was unclear where others came from.
"Since Ye Longlin has been arrested, we naturally need to confirm it. At least we need to see it with our own eyes to feel at ease."
"Tell your Director Zhang that representatives from our three families have arrived, and he should get out and take us to see Ye Longlin! Are the Zhang family and Ye Longlin working together not afraid of being annihilated by the combined might of our three families?"
"Hurry up and get your Director Zhang out here. The secretary of Chairman Ye is here to see him!"
People of extraordinary status were all blocking the entrance. Many Dragon Investigators were blocking them from entering, but instead of Director Zhang, they were met by Xuan Niao.
Xuan Niao exuded an endless cold aura. In the already very cold winter, many people present felt another drop in temperature and shivered.
"My master has been arrested. Is it for you to visit? Who do you think you are? I'm telling you, when my master is released, none of you will escape!"
Xuan Niao said coldly, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.
"Hello, miss. I am Chairman Ye's secretary. You can call me Secretary Lin. I'm here to..."
Before Secretary Lin could finish speaking, Xuan Niao slapped her across the face, sending her flying and crashing to the ground.
"What? Can't you understand human speech?"
"My master is not a panda in the zoo. My master is not seeing anyone during the interrogation."
After speaking, Xuan Niao condensed her martial energy into a long sword, reaching out and grasping the air. It was as if she had reached out, and a sword materialized, stunning everyone present.
"This is the boundary. Anyone who crosses it will be killed without mercy!"
The sentence, filled with killing intent, made everyone present fall silent, not daring to say another word.
Before long, all the assembled people dispersed, not a single one remaining!
But as they were leaving, a car suddenly blocked their path. Xie Wenzhan quickly got out and looked at Xuan Niao.
"Director Zhang has asked me to stand guard for two days. Do you have any objections?"
Xuan Niao snorted coldly, and then returned to the Dragon Investigation Bureau. Her silence represented consent.
Everyone exchanged glances. It seemed that the situation had indeed developed as they had desired, which was excellent!
Even the Director of the Zhenwu Division had come to maintain order!
"Boss, all the people outside have been dealt with. Before the formal lawsuit is filed, no one else should come."
Ye Longlin revealed a faint smile and nodded. He then looked at Xie Wenzhan. "I'll trouble you with the next matters. In short, anyone who wants to see me, send them all back!"
Xie Wenzhan bowed slightly, with a flattering smile. "I understand. Don't worry, I will handle it properly."
Ye Longlin patted his shoulder, and then left through the back door with Xuan Niao.
Seeing them leave, Director Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Director Xie, what exactly are their identities that they are worth your personal presence to manage the situation."
Xie Wenzhan shook his head slightly. "These are not things you should be concerned about. You only need to know that they are people I cannot afford to offend. Even in the capital, they are people who can walk around with impunity."
"Hiss!"
Director Zhang gasped, his breath catching in his throat. People who could walk around with impunity in the capital, this...
"Alright, I'll just be here pretending for a few days. You just need to follow their instructions."
...
Leaving through the back door, Xuan Niao and Ye Longlin departed directly, with no one knowing that they had secretly left. The outside world still believed that Ye Longlin was at the Dragon Investigation Bureau.
"Shall we go to Cloud Top Heavenly Palace now?"
Xuan Niao asked. This was a top-tier villa that Xuan Niao had secretly purchased. It was located in the mountains, with excellent surroundings, warm in winter and cool in summer. Furthermore, it was not a place where ordinary people could reside.
Status, wealth, and power were all indispensable.
The true financial tycoons of the southern province lived here. Each villa represented a financial group, representing capital!
"Take me there first, then you go pick up Mu Hanqi. Yuan Gang should be on a plane to the capital by now, so no need to worry about him for the time being."
"Okay."
Cloud Top Heavenly Palace was located between Lion Mountain and Baijia Mountain. It was far from the city, and tranquility was its sole characteristic.
Even daily necessities were procured by the property management every morning according to the residents' needs and then delivered to their homes. This was what was called property management.
"The villa purchased is number three. The people currently living here are the hidden financial magnates of the southern province. Most of them are older, so they are here for retirement, and they don't have much connection with us."
Mu Hanqi parked the car in front of villa number three and handed the room card to Ye Longlin before driving off to pick up Mu Hanqi.
It was still nearly an hour's drive from the city, so there was no need to worry about anyone knowing that Ye Longlin had appeared here.
The modern minimalist decoration style made the entire villa very bright. At a glance, it was all white.
Flames burned in the fireplace, and sofas were placed in the center. Behind the sofas was a long table, next to which was a staircase leading to the second floor.
To the left of the sofas were floor-to-ceiling windows made of bulletproof glass. The overall decoration looked very simple.
Ye Longlin also liked this minimalist style, finding it quite pleasing.
"This setup was specifically arranged for you. Come on, and bring more war criminals, preferably all of them at once."
