âNo problem,â Huo Yunting replied with a smile. âI am a citizen of Z Country too.â
He chose this plan because it was a move against Xiang Jinxi and also a contribution to his country.
It was killing two birds with one stone.
âThank you again for your assistance!â
State Security personnel escorted Xiang Jinxi away. Abruptly, the man in question turned back to look at him.
âHuo Yunting, I have a feeling that we will meet again!â
Huo Yunting replied calmly, âIn prison, you mean.â
He would make sure Xiang Jinxi never leave prison alive.
Cooperating with the Rondel Gang was treason, in a way.
He would arrange for Xiang Jinxi to avoid the death sentence.
Instead, the man would be locked away in the most secure and gruesome prison in the world for the rest of his life.
Huo Yunting smiled coldly at him.
âXiang Jinxi, I once said that I will take away everything you care about so that you may reflect and regret over your mistakes for the rest of your life.â
â...â
Xiang Jinxi was about to say something when a guard kicked him in the knee. The officers then dragged him away.
State Security operations were often conducted in dramatic fashion. Moments after State Security entered Xiang Yuanâs office, fully armed soldiers secured a perimeter around the office building to keep the outsiders from prying.
Reporters had sensed that something big was unfolding in the building and waited patiently outside as they filmed live updates to the public.
When Xiang Jinxi was finally escorted outside, it sparked a huge commotion.
âPresident Xiang, what are the charges against you?â
âSir, can you explain what the State Security is charging you with?â
âPlease give us some answers!â
â...â
The officers escorted Xiang Jinxi through the crowd into a specially modified black sedan. They then left without responding to any of the media.
After the car left, many reporters continued to linger around the office building. Some even entered the building and asked random staff members about what happened.
However, Xiang Jinxiâs capture was a heavy blow to the morale of the companyâs employees.
From the highest level managers to the office janitor, everyone was at a loss.
âBrother Ting,â Huo Li said as he looked away from the window toward him, âItâs over.â
âIndeed.â
Huo Yunting leaned against the wall lit up a cigarette.
He looked a little distracted. The pain from his loss had not faded.
âItâs over...ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
But grandma is never coming back.
âHuo Li!â He cried abruptly.
âYes?â
âTake someone with you and make sure that Xiang Jinxi is locked away in prison,â Huo Yunting said cooly. âJust in case.â
âRight away!â
Huo Li thought that having so many State Security officers escort Xiang Jinxi was good enough, but he would not deny Huo Yuntingâs request.
He was about to leave when Huo Yuntingâs phone rang.
The latter took out his phone and swiped to answer the call.
âHello?â
âSir, something happened to Madam. She just...â
It was the butler from his mansion. The butler was speaking urgently when the call was cut off without warning. The screen turned dark.
In a rare moment of panic, Huo Yunting tapped hard on his phone and realized that it had run out of battery!
He cursed under his breath and said, âHuo Li, letâs go back first!â
âOkay!â
