Chapter 960 Fury!
"Su Boqi, what are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"
Xie Wei's expression darkened as he glared at Su Boqi.
He was the head of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, and Su Boqi was merely a vice leader of the Martial Alliance. What right did he have to arrest him?
"Rebel? If you are the head of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, then I am rebelling. But if you are an accomplice to the mutant laboratory, then you are a criminal!"
"What do you mean?" Xie Wei was stunned.
How had he become an accomplice?
Su Boqi said coldly, "According to the intelligence we've obtained, Chen Xuan is the mastermind behind this mutant laboratory, and you are his accomplice!"
Chen Xuan remained expressionless, his demeanor calm. Everything was proceeding as he had expected; someone was indeed framing him.
Xie Wei, though surprised, quickly understood. This was exactly what Chen Xuan had warned him about – someone was trying to frame them!
"We risked our lives here, almost getting killed, and you're framing us?!"
Xie Wei couldn't hold back any longer, his anger flaring!
Just moments ago, he had risked his life fighting these mutants to uncover the truth. Now, these people were framing him. It was utterly shameless!
Su Boqi's face was somewhat grim.
He was taken aback by Xie Wei's imposing presence. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Let me tell you, Xie Wei, we received a report, and we've already reported it to higher authorities. Governor Wang himself approved your arrest!"
"Now that we have caught you red-handed attempting to silence witnesses, what do you have to say for yourselves?"
Governor Wang?
Xie Wei frowned. "I want to see the arrest warrant!"
Su Boqi quickly waved his hand, and someone produced the arrest warrant, complete with Governor Wang's personal signature.
Only with Governor Wang's signature could Chen Xuan and Xie Wei be arrested.
Seeing the arrest warrant, Xie Wei's expression darkened.
However, his sense of injustice and anger grew. If he had actually committed the crime, he would have accepted it. But he knew he was innocent, and had even gone through fire and water to investigate this matter. This made him furious.
Seeing Xie Wei fall silent, Su Boqi sneered and waved his hand, "Arrest them!"
A group of people took out handcuffs and shackles, stepping forward...
"Who dares to touch Mr. Xie?!"
Just then, a booming voice rang out.
The sound of hurried footsteps followed as the Yanhuang Iron Brigade arrived in force, their imposing aura palpable. They were all armed with firearms.
The dark muzzles of their guns pointed at the Martial Alliance members, instilling fear and making their scalps tingle.
Upon seeing the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, Su Boqi's face changed.
He hadn't expected the Yanhuang Iron Brigade to arrive and surround them.
"Anyone who dares to touch Mr. Xie, we will fight!"
The Yanhuang Iron Brigade shouted aggressively.
Their voices, filled with indignation, made Su Boqi and his men turn pale, revealing a hint of worry.
The Martial Alliance was not as strong as the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. If a fight broke out, they would likely be at a disadvantage!
"I have an arrest warrant from higher authorities! Your Mr. Xie is connected to the laboratory!"
Su Boqi could only present the arrest warrant, hoping to intimidate them.
"You're spouting nonsense! Our Mr. Xie immediately notified us after getting the information. How could he be connected to these people?"
For days, Xie Wei had been tirelessly working, often going without sleep to investigate this matter. All the Yanhuang Iron Brigade members had witnessed this. How could he be involved?
They simply didn't believe it.
"I think you people want to go to jail!" Su Boqi was furious.
The atmosphere between the two groups became tense. Xie Wei was reluctant to order his men to stop, but his own indignation made him conflicted.
At this critical juncture, Chen Xuan calmly said, "Mr. Xie, I think you should ask your men to stand down."
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"
Xie Wei was surprised that Chen Xuan spoke first.
Chen Xuan replied, "Since we are innocent, we have nothing to fear. Once the truth is revealed, everything will be clear."
Xie Wei considered this. If they caused too much trouble now, the Yanhuang Iron Brigade soldiers would also suffer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright!"
Turning to the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, he said, "Gentlemen, I, Xie, thank all of you brothers here. However, you must believe that higher authorities will give us justice!"
The Yanhuang Iron Brigade members exchanged glances. Since Xie Wei had said so, they had nothing more to say. They nodded in agreement and lowered their weapons.
Su Boqi, relieved and wanting to avoid further complications, quickly ordered his men to escort Chen Xuan and Xie Wei back to the Martial Alliance!
News of Chen Xuan's arrest spread like wildfire, throwing the entire provincial capital of Jiangnan into turmoil!
In a villa in the suburbs, Shi Menglu said excitedly, "Ningning, that live-in son-in-law from the Su family in the provincial capital has been arrested. You are truly brilliant!"
"I merely employed a minor stratagem," Su Ning said, swirling her wine glass with a confident expression, though her features were unusually grim.
Ever since the Yanhuang Iron Brigade and the Martial Alliance began investigating this matter, Su Ning had planted experts within the laboratory. If anything were to be leaked, everyone would be silenced. Upon receiving news that Chen Xuan and Xie Wei had infiltrated the laboratory, Su Ning gritted her teeth and ordered the silencing of witnesses, framing them in the process.
"Our Ningning is still the smartest. Now that Chen Xuan is locked up, if you make a few more moves, he'll probably rot in jail for life!" Shi Menglu said with a fawning smile, ecstatic.
Su Ning nodded slightly, took a sip of her red wine, and snorted, "Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, how dare you ruin my plans? That laboratory had billions invested, and it's all gone now. I will send you to eternal damnation!"
Although she had retaliated against Chen Xuan, Su Ning had invested immense effort and money into the laboratory. All her endeavors had been ruined.
The Wang family in the provincial capital.
"Governor Wang, I've decided to relocate all of our Su family's businesses to the neighboring province. Please sign this document!"
Su Yunxi impassively placed a document in front of Wang Zhonghua.
Looking at the document, Wang Zhonghua wore a wry smile.
Currently, the Su family of the provincial capital was powerful. After integrating the assets of the four major families in the provincial capital, they had already become the financial pillar of Jiangnan Province.
Jiangnan Province was already at the lower end of China's economy. If the Su family of the provincial capital were to leave, Jiangnan Province's economy would be severely hit and might never recover.
More importantly, a large number of workers would become unemployed, creating many unstable factors in society.
In short, the Su family of the provincial capital absolutely could not leave Jiangnan Province!
Governor Wang Zhonghua said with a smile, "Miss Su, do you have any difficulties? Why don't you sit down and talk? We can discuss anything. Is the tax too high? No problem, I'll immediately offer you preferential treatment!"
Su Yunxi shook her head. "No!"
Wang Zhonghua frowned. "Do you want a piece of land? I think the land at Dongshan Lake looks good. I'll grant it to the Su family!"
"No need!" Su Yunxi shook her head again, her eyes cold.
The land at Dongshan Lake could be used to build villas, worth billions. It was a prime target for real estate developers, but in her eyes, it was now insignificant.
Wang Zhonghua chuckled. "Perhaps the policies are not suitable? No problem, no problem, we can provide better policy support for the Su family of the provincial capital!"
"Not that either."
Wang Zhonghua was in a difficult position. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Yunxi, and said with a bitter smile, "Is it because of Chen Xuan's matter?"
