Chapter Summary
It wasn't just Wei Xiong who was arrested; all the people in charge at the gathering points where things happened that day have been taken away and taken to the Xue family's warehouse. Even if I am a God of War level expert and the Lord of the city, I still have to be polite to someone like Xue Qiang. Back when he became a War God-level expert, the manor lord lacked one thing, which was found for him by the Xue family.
Sun Qiang's words calmed everyone down a bit. After all, the Xue family was extremely domineering. If they really found evidence, none of the people present would survive, including this gathering place. They might wipe them out. They were doing this to make an example of someone, to let everyone know that if you dare to touch the young people of the Xue family, this is what will happen to you.
"Brother Zhang is back..."
Someone shouted, and Zhang Chu came in, panting. Everyone looked over to see what was going on.
"I've found out everything, so everyone can rest assured. This is another large-scale investigation. It wasn't just Wei Xiong who was arrested; all the people in charge at the gathering points where things happened that day have been taken away and taken to the Xue family's warehouse. This time is a little different from the last time; they presented an arrest warrant, which was approved by the garrison headquarters..."
Director Zhang spoke breathlessly, but after he finished, everyone was both happy and worried.
The good thing is that no investigation has been conducted, but the bad thing is that the naval base approved it, which gives it a legal veneer.
It turns out that the Xue family was conducting a large-scale scan, taking away anyone who seemed suspicious. It seems that the method wasn't very effective and didn't bring them any useful information. So now the focus is on breaking through the control group first, hoping to find information from them. Although this has offended many gathering points, do the Xue family care about that?
"Everyone, don't panic. Since this has already happened, there's no use worrying. Everyone should go back first. You're all injured, and if you don't get treatment soon, it could cause serious harm. I'll go check on the Xue family's warehouse first, and I'll let you know as soon as I find out what's going on."
Liu Ning thought for a moment and said that this was the only way to do it now. After all, Liu Ning was more capable and could handle anything that happened. These people were just small fry and wouldn't be of much use there.
Besides, Liu Ning's trip wouldn't necessarily be dangerous. This was another large-scale operation. They all trusted Wei Xiong's character. Even with a knife to his throat, Wei Xiong wouldn't reveal their identities. Wei Xiong knew very well that if he uttered a single word, not only would he die, but the entire gathering point would be doomed.
Naval Base Building.
More than 10% of the city's controllers have been arrested, so the naval base is unusually busy, with all sorts of complaint calls coming in like crazy.
Although the garrison commander had agreed to cooperate with the Xue family, he did not expect the Xue family to act so quickly and with such force. As a result, the garrison commander could not withstand the pressure and asked the head of the Xue family to come and give him an explanation. Xue Qiang, the head of the Xue family in this city, quickly came over.
Although the four major families are incredibly powerful and may not necessarily take a garrison commander seriously, in this city, he is the supreme authority, and the Xue family must show him a certain degree of respect.
However, this respect was very limited. Just look at Xue Qiang's demeanor. He wasn't sitting properly in the room; instead, he was sitting with his legs crossed. He was very good at maintaining proper boundaries. "You call me here and I come, but I'm not your subordinate. I don't need your approval to do anything." This was the message that the head of the Xue family wanted to convey. Although Zhu Pingcheng, the garrison commander, was unhappy, there was nothing he could do about Xue Qiang.
If it were anyone else, the garrison commander would have thrown the cup at them long ago. You people are too ruthless. You've arrested so many controllers. Are you kidding me? Are you trying to bring the entire city to a standstill?
"Old Xue, although I agree with your way of doing things, you can't do things like this. Just walk out of my door and listen to the phone in every office. Aren't they all being called off the hook? And there are tons of people waiting to complain. Do you think I'm here just to serve your family? The whole city is about to fall into chaos. What am I supposed to do?"
Lord of the city is a God of War level expert. To control a city, there are various requirements, but the most crucial one is that one must be a God of War level expert. Even if I am a God of War level expert and the Lord of the city, I still have to be polite to someone like Xue Qiang. After all, he has the support of the four great families.
Xue Qiang wasn't in a hurry. He had his reasons for doing this. With the higher-ups investigating so closely, if he didn't do his job properly, his position might be in danger. As for the Lord of the Prefecture in front of him, Xue Qiang wasn't too worried. "You were able to become the God of War because of the help of our Xue family, weren't you? Otherwise, how could you have become the God of War? Don't be fooled by your stern words now; you just want benefits."
When Xue Qiang looked over, the manor lord felt a jolt in his heart. Of course, he understood why he was being looked at like that. Back when he became a War God-level expert, the manor lord lacked one thing, which was found for him by the Xue family. Without the help of the Xue family, he might still be a high-level general, how could he have become a War God? If he couldn't become a War God, then he wouldn't be able to become the manor lord.
"Lord of the Manor, please calm down. This matter is also very difficult for me. As you know, a very promising direct descendant has died. His family was ranked ahead of mine. If we don't investigate quickly, I will lose my position. That's why this happened today."
Xue Qiang still emphasized this reason, but didn't reveal the real reason. That was something that couldn't be said. If the news leaked, the Xue family's enemies would be overjoyed, and they would have nothing to worry about and would immediately take action against the Xue family.
After speaking, he pushed a piece of paper towards Zhu Pingcheng. This was no ordinary piece of paper; it was a piece of land within the city. We won't discuss its value, but the fact that it could silence this lord of the city meant its value was definitely not low.
Zhu Pingcheng glanced at the paper, feeling a surge of secret joy, but his face still held a hint of sadness. No matter what your reasons were, the city couldn't let you play around like this. This was the foundation of our existence. If you cheated us, things would get complicated, and no one would recognize him as the lord of this city.
