Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
However, he had already said that no matter how Liu Ning wanted to do things, he would not interfere. It was certain that nothing good would happen to Secretary Sun's family. If Secretary Sun didn't say much, then Secretary Sun's family had to be taken good care of.
Jinzi went over to check, and the guy was already dead. However, according to orders, they needed to find the body, dead or alive. If someone disappeared, an arrest warrant had to be issued. Jinzi's 100 soldiers went to collect the body and took it away. The people around exchanged glances. At the same time, 12 other staff members in other parts of the building were also taken away. These were all people on the list. Liu Ning didn't care about evidence. He figured that taking them back for interrogation would provide evidence. So, this method of doing things was a bit excessive, but extraordinary circumstances required extraordinary measures. If they weren't interrogated now, it would be difficult to find these people once the news spread. They would definitely be scattered everywhere. Did he have to issue a global warrant for their arrest? The effect wouldn't be very good.
The Lord's Office.
The Lord of the Prefecture had also received some reports that Liu Ning was making arrests throughout the city. The Lord of the Prefecture smiled wryly. Liu Ning's methods were indeed like that. However, he had already said that no matter how Liu Ning wanted to do things, he would not interfere. Once the matter was handed over, it had to be trusted. Therefore, the Lord of the Prefecture did not make any reaction. Including some of his old subordinates, these people were all arrested without the Lord of the Prefecture giving any notice. This was because the Lord of the Prefecture knew Liu Ning's way of doing things very well. If Liu Ning arrested someone, it meant that person definitely had a problem. He simply didn't want to think about it. If he thought too much, he would only end up worrying himself. There was nothing he could do about it.
"Come in…"
Hearing a knock at the door, the Lord of the Garrison felt uneasy. It was undoubtedly another complaint. Several had already come in, each claiming their former subordinates had been arrested. If there were evidence, they would readily confess, but Liu Ning had no proof. It was tantamount to accusing someone randomly. The Lord of the Garrison had persuaded them all to leave, citing examples of his own men being arrested as well, emphasizing the need to trust Liu Ning's abilities. Unexpectedly, this time it wasn't the usual complainers; it was his own secretary, the Second Secretary. The Lord of the Garrison was puzzled. Secretary Sun was his first secretary; usually, whenever he was in the Garrison headquarters, Secretary Sun would immediately come to report, while the Second Secretary would take leave. What was going on?
"Something just happened. I just got here. Secretary Sun was taken away. Those people showed me these two orders. Since my subordinates weren't sure if they were real, they made a copy for you to see..."
The second secretary, holding his smart device, said that there were two documents on it. Just like when the incident occurred during the arrest at the West District Administrative Building, even the Prefect's secretary was implicated. Don't underestimate this secretary; if ranked outside, he would be even more powerful than the deputy city lords. This is because what Secretary Sun did represented the Prefect. While he might not be able to act arrogantly outside, he had certainly done a lot. Therefore, the Prefect was truly distressed at the moment.
Could it be that Secretary Sun got involved too?
"What are you still standing here for? Now that this guy is in jail, you take over his work. Don't bother me here. Go out and calm the people down. No matter why he went in, our work cannot stop. If your work stops, the whole city will be in chaos. Also, tell the people down there that no one is allowed to spread rumors. If the news gets out, don't blame me for being impolite. Over the years, you've all been living the high life with me. I think you know better than anyone else what to say and what not to say. If anyone isn't worried about their job, then go ahead and say whatever they want. Let's see how long they can be happy."
The City Lord's slam of the table startled the Second Secretary. Previously, the City Lord was always very measured and would never say such things lightly. This basically indicated that the Group Leader was unaware of Secretary Sun's situation. If the Group Leader knew, his reaction would be completely different. The Second Secretary was secretly overjoyed. Secretary Sun was definitely not coming back. Without concrete evidence, Councilor Liu wouldn't have arrested him. Arresting him would mean disrespecting the City Lord. Why disrespect? There hadn't been any serious conflict between them, meaning Councilor Liu had solid evidence. Therefore, this guy was out of luck, and his position was theirs.
The second secretary quickly left. The Lord of the Manor picked up his smart device, hesitating whether he should make a call. After all, Secretary Sun had been with him for so many years, and much of the evidence he possessed was in that kid's hands. If he said something reckless, things would get complicated. So, he had to be careful. However, the Lord of the Manor was also afraid that Liu Ning would misunderstand. What if this guy said something inappropriate and it backfired on him? The Lord of the Manor definitely had nothing to do with the Fusang Martial Arts School. If the Lord of the Manor had even the slightest connection, he would never have let Liu Ning investigate this matter. He could have just arrested someone and that would have been the end of it. Why bother with someone like Liu Ning?
In the end, the Lord of the Prefecture still didn't choose to make a phone call. He could only speak on this matter. If he spoke recklessly, not only would he offend Liu Ning, but he would also offend this side. It was certain that nothing good would happen to Secretary Sun's family. Lord Chu Chu also understood the current situation very well. If Secretary Sun didn't say much, then Secretary Sun's family had to be taken good care of. At least they had to be able to live safely. Otherwise, she, as the leader, would make others feel disheartened. Besides Secretary Sun, there were many people who followed her around and lived a life of leisure. She also had to make those people see that she treated her subordinates very kindly. She felt that no matter what happened, she had to ensure that their families had a chance to enjoy their old age in peace.
