Chapter Summary
Of course, if you have evidence, you can decide whether to arrest or kill this person, but if you don’t have evidence, the city must return to normal operation. Do you understand, Lao Xue?” Although he accepted the gifts, he still had to say what needed to be said: his foundation was in this city, and if the city fell into chaos, the Human Council would not let him off the hook. These people up there are using modern technology, but I'm a soldier with firearms, so I can see very clearly..." Besi...
After a back-and-forth battle, Xue Qiang made some additional sacrifices to ease the pressure on the manor lord.
“We’ve reached an agreement on this matter. I don’t care who you’re trying to track down, this situation must stop. And no matter what you’ve done, you must release everyone by noon tomorrow. Of course, if you have evidence, you can decide whether to arrest or kill this person, but if you don’t have evidence, the city must return to normal operation. This is my bottom line. Do you understand, Lao Xue?”
Although he accepted the gifts, he still had to say what needed to be said: his foundation was in this city, and if the city fell into chaos, the Human Council would not let him off the hook.
Xue Qiang smiled and nodded, then left directly. The Lord of the Manor was really dissatisfied with Xue Qiang's arrogant attitude, but what could he do when the other party was so powerful?
Xue Qiang was also dissatisfied. Normally, a simple greeting would suffice. Why would they send you a gift if they weren't making a big fuss? Aren't you just the lord of a garrison? Do you think you're some kind of god?
After Xue Qiang left, the Lord of the Manor summoned his trusted confidants.
What do you think it is?
Zhu Pingcheng took out all the gifts on the table. The Xue family had really gone all out this time. If it was just for a direct descendant, Zhu Pingcheng didn't believe it at all. Don't think he's a fool.
"In my opinion, they're in trouble. Even if they want to investigate someone, they don't need to send such a valuable gift. Take this piece of land, for example. The Xue family spent a huge amount of money on it and made enemies with other families. Now they're just giving it to us. They clearly want you to keep quiet. I think they're in quite a bit of trouble."
Hearing his subordinate say this, Zhu Pingcheng nodded.
"Immediately give the order to have your men keep a close watch on this matter, but avoid any conflict with the Xue family. If any opportunity arises, try to bring them the people or things they've found, so we can see what they're really up to..."
Zhu Pingcheng stroked his beard and said, "This matter has escalated to this point, it must be no small matter. If we don't know anything about it on our own turf, it would make us look too incompetent." His confidant nodded and then went to make the arrangements.
Xue Family Warehouse.
Wei Xiong was transported here by car. Before the car had even come to a complete stop, the trunk was opened, and the people below used iron hooks to pull them down. The action was extremely brutal.
Wei Xiong looked around and saw several hundred people standing there. Some of them he knew, and some he didn't. The few he did know were the people in charge of the area.
Looking around, Wei Xiong realized he wasn't familiar with the area. On the surrounding wall, which stretched for over ten meters, many people were armed with high-powered weapons. Despite the strength of the few hundred men below, if they tried to cause trouble, those above would definitely open fire. They were no match for them.
Judging from the identities of these people, the Xue family is determined this time and will not stop until they find the information. These people are not ordinary people; they all have complex and intertwined forces behind them. However, the Xue family does not take them seriously. For what they want to find, they would not hesitate to kill these people, because that thing is too important.
"Don't stand here anymore. Arrange your numbers, either odd or even, and line up to go in when your number is called. If your number isn't called, stay where you are. If anyone makes any other moves, don't blame our guards for being ruthless. You're not wearing any equipment; bullets can easily pass through your bodies. If you want to live, behave yourselves..."
A soldier in black, holding a megaphone, announced that these people were not ordinary individuals, but rather controllers of various gathering points. Several of them were indignant at being treated this way. Before they could utter a few words, the soldiers dragged them inside. Nearby was an interrogation room converted from a factory building, from which came the screams of those men. It was unclear how they had been treated, but it certainly wasn't a good thing.
"Everyone, don't move! These people up there are using modern technology, but I'm a soldier with firearms, so I can see very clearly..."
Beside Wei Xiong, someone whispered that it was indeed possible to deduce from the way the gun was held that the bullets used in the city were usually special bullets that wouldn't kill people, but these people were using live ammunition, which was meant to deal with the ferocious beasts.
Seeing that this man was a good person, Wei Xiong whispered a few words to him and learned about his ordeal. Wei Xiong truly felt sorry for the man.
This guy was a firearms soldier. Although he had a machine gun at home, and it was the same model as the one that shot Xue Yang, he didn't leave the city that day and stayed at home the whole time. But no one could prove that he didn't leave the city. Even if he didn't leave the city, it's very likely that he changed the record, so he was also arrested.
Wei Xiong was speechless. The Xue family had gone to great lengths for this investigation, capable of doing anything.
After the conversation, Wei Xiong breathed a sigh of relief. When these people rushed into the gathering point, Wei Xiong really thought he had been exposed. At that time, he even thought about biting his tongue and committing suicide. As long as he died, he would not be able to get the news. Others might be able to survive. Now it seems that this is another way of investigation by the Xue family. They brought all the controllers here to see if they could find anything. Only the Xue family dares to handle cases like this. No one else has such ability or courage.
"They're out! They're out..."
A commotion broke out in the crowd as several people helped each other out. These were the same group that had just gone in. These people were really ruthless; inside, they were subjected to pure torture and forced confessions. Some of them were missing a leg, a serious injury that wouldn't heal no matter what medicine they took. They would be crippled from now on. These people weren't ordinary; they were all controllers of their respective gathering points, in other words, they were considered garrison commanders. Yet the Xue family still dared to use such ruthless methods. The Xue family was truly lawless.
The disaster wasn't over yet, and the second batch of people was immediately selected...
