With a click, Zhou Xuan's hands were cuffed. His eyes showed no fear as he looked at the two uniformed police officers in front of him, smiling faintly. "May I ask, am I guilty, and for what crime?"
The police officers were stunned. They hadn't expected him to retort.
"Mr. Zhou Xuan, please cooperate with the investigation. We currently suspect you are involved in a kidnapping and murder case."
"A kidnapping and murder case? Haha, you're quite amusing. Fine, arrest me. I fear you'll regret it later." Zhou Xuan chuckled.
"Kid, you're just like someone who won't shed a tear until they see the coffin." Saying that, he signaled to the people behind him.
"Charge."
More than a dozen police officers surged out of the police car, drawing their batons and charging forward.
Zhou Xuan sneered and drew out a silver needle from his waist.
These people were too slow. He only needed to deal with them using silver needles.
However, at that moment, a dark muzzle was suddenly pointed at his head. "Don't move! Do not resist!"
Zhou Xuan froze. It seemed they weren't just here to arrest him, but to kill him.
He glanced at the clearly guilty person beside him.
News of Zhou Xuan being taken back to the police station quickly reached the Fang and Sun families.
Old Sun was extremely anxious.
"It seems the Qin family has made the first move. They must suspect you've been cured by Zhou Xuan. Tianyou, what do we do now?"
"Dad, you don't need to worry. Qin Huaiyu wouldn't dare to kill Zhou Xuan openly. As long as we also send people to keep an eye on things, don't forget, it's not only Qin Huaiyu who knows how to use connections. Our Sun family has connections too."
"I know, but I'm afraid the other party's background is too powerful for us to contend with."
"Hmph, I know what the Qin family is up to. The Qi Xuan elders are now on the same line as Zhou Xuan. Even if we don't act, the Tiandao Sect won't let the Qin family off."
"I'm just afraid that Zhou Xuan will blame us for not helping him after he gets out."
"Don't worry. He won't."
"Don't you forget, the Fang family won't just stand by and do nothing."
Meanwhile, at the detention area.
Zhou Xuan, bored, began to meditate and prepare to cultivate.
Just then, someone knocked on the iron bars in front of him.
"Zhou Xuan, someone wants to interrogate you!"
Soon.
Zhou Xuan was taken to a small room.
"I remember that formal interrogations aren't like this! You're actually doing this in Shangjing!"
As soon as Zhou Xuan entered, he started shouting.
"Just go in when you're told to, stop with the nonsense!"
The person behind him pushed him in.
The sturdy steel door was then closed.
Zhou Xuan felt like he had been tricked.
This could not possibly be a formal police station.
From beginning to end, he had been played by the Qin family.
Qin Qingya turned around.
"Zhou Xuan, surprised, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am a bit surprised. I thought it would be your matriarch, Qin Huaiyu, but I didn't expect it to be you, you ugly woman. It's quite a surprise."
"You!"
Qin Qingya was so angry she started to curse, "You're still tough even when death is at your doorstep. But then again, people like you deserve to die!"
With that, she winked at her subordinates.
"Go! Teach this scoundrel a good lesson!"
Upon hearing the order, several subordinates immediately rushed forward.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but sneer.
Qin family, don't think too highly of yourselves.
This time, it won't be so easy to escape!
Zhou Xuan knocked them all to the ground in a few moves.
Then, he walked step by step towards Qin Qingya.
Unexpectedly, Qin Qingya pressed a button on the wall.
Instantly, she left the room, leaving Zhou Xuan alone in the confined space.
Soon, countless wisps of smoke erupted from the room.
Zhou Xuan coughed uncontrollably, choked by the fumes.
"This is bad! This smoke is poisonous!"
"Zhou Xuan, enjoy this final moment of your life! Those who offend our Qin family never have a good end. You might as well go to the King of Hell to regret it!"
In the empty room, the opponent's voice came like a demon.
Zhou Xuan immediately covered his nose and mouth, but it was too late.
He felt his entire body going soft.
Meanwhile, outside Shangjing, those looking for Zhou Xuan were frantic.
"Have you found him?"
Old Fang anxiously asked Fang Ruolin and Fang Linfan.
"Grandpa, we haven't."
Lu Ling'er swayed, almost falling to the ground.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left at that time!"
"It's alright, Ling'er, don't worry. If they took Zhou Xuan, it must be the Qin family."
Old Fang's expression was grim.
At this moment, he received a call from Old Sun.
"Lao Fang, I know a place belonging to the Qin family. Zhou Xuan might be there."
"Quickly, tell me!"
Old Master Fang also remembered that the Sun family had always been close to the Qin family.
It was normal for him to know some of the Qin family's secrets.
However, this matter was too serious, and Old Master Fang needed to plan carefully.
"There's no time! If we don't go now, I'm afraid Brother Xuan will be in danger!"
"You guys come with me to take a look. The Zhou family kid shouldn't have escaped, but there will definitely be people guarding him. Moreover, if the Qin family is unwilling to cooperate with us, then we'll have to resort to violence."
"Alright, I'll handle it."
The Fang and Sun families had to temporarily join forces for Zhou Xuan.
They led their men to a villa in the suburbs.
"This place is more than meets the eye. I learned about it by chance."
"What's special about it?"
"The Qin family's ambition is too great. I knew before that they secretly set up punishments, attempting to replace the law, which has touched the bottom line."
"Now that my son has woken up, I'm not afraid to tell you, I will definitely oppose the Qin family. I wonder what Old Fang's opinion is."
Old Sun's words were probing.
He wasn't worried about the Fang family making a move against him.
After all, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies.
Although Zhou Xuan had helped him clear his name, perhaps the Fang family was not involved in the framing of Tianyou back then.
But so what? As long as an opportunity arose, they could deliver a fatal blow to the Qin family.
"How did you know about this place?"
"This place is not yet complete. Not many people in the Qin family know about it. I only learned about it after Tianyou woke up."
"You mean the Qin family started planning seven or eight years ago?"
"That's right! They want to build a law belonging to the Qin family, which is to disregard China's law."
Looking at the forcibly broken door, Old Fang, Fang Ruolin, and the others were stunned.
If they weren't blind, they could see that this place looked exactly like a second police station in Shangjing.
It was completely built in the same style as the original.
Except for the lack of people moving around, no one would doubt that they had walked into a solemn place.
"The Qin family really has guts!"
"Many people must have been deceived, right?"
"I guess so. What do you think Qin Huaiyu's thought process is?"
"I'm afraid this place is not yet fully developed."
"Then who captured Zhou Xuan here in advance?"
