Chapter 84: Try Me

Looking at the determined gaze of Nie Zhenbang, the lead police officer, experienced in reading people, understood very well. Saying it and doing it was the typical style of these young masters and princesses in Jingcheng. Normally, these people were all fun and games within their own circles. But if anyone really provoked them, their fate would be extraordinarily tragic.

Thinking of this, the lead police officer gestured to his men. At this time, no other officers went after Long. The lead officer had already started walking towards Nie Zhenbang.

Standing in front of Nie Zhenbang, he handed over a document to him, “Nie

Zhenbang, take a look. This is an arrest warrant signed by the Ministry of Public Security. From now on, you are suspected of selling state assets, smuggling, and private relations with foreigners, damaging Huaxia’s international political image. You’re arrested.”

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang sucked in a breath of cold air. What kind of a person was he dealing with, three serious charges all at once? Any one of them could be enough to get him executed. Moreover, the order came directly from the Ministry of Public Security. It seems that the political landscape of Jingcheng had changed quite a bit during his absence.

At this point, what Nie Zhenbang needed was calm. Resistance, or even confrontation, was not the best choice. Under the current circumstances, the opponent had fully taken the initiative. He and Long were different, Long was just a bodyguard. Even if they killed him, with Nie Zhenbang still around, none of these people could get away.

Yet, if he himself were to resist, Nie Zhenbang looked into the lead officer’s eyes and saw a gleeful expression along with a hint of the quick intent to kill. At this moment, given the situation, Nie Zhenbang could be certain that if he made any move or resistance, these people would not hesitate to execute him on the spot.

After a moment of silence, Nie Zhenbang laughed and said, “Comrade, is it really that serious? Don’t worry, I won’t run away. However, you must at least give me a chance to notify my family.”

Nie Zhenbang understood at this moment. The person who could accurately track his movements and deploy the Ministry of Public Security to arrest him was no ordinary figure. Neither Ou Zheng nor Zhou Chen had this kind of power. Even Ou Zheng’s father, Ou Huajun, a state councilor, probably didn’t have this power. The Minister of Public Security, usually, also held a deputy national-level position and was on par with Ou Huajun. Ou Huajun could not command him. Hence, deducing from these facts, the one who had targeted him was probably none other than—comrade Xuri.”

Thinking of this, Nie Zhenbang was taken aback – Comrade Xuri making a move on him? What did this mean; using him as a breakthrough to totally defeat the reformists?

At this time, the lead police officer revealed a pitiful expression on his face. He then sternly said, “Nie Zhenbang, haven’t you realized the situation? You won’t be able to notify your family. We’ll take care of those matters. Now, you should cooperate with us. If not, don’t blame us for being rude.”

Seeing Nie Zhenbang put forward his hands to cooperate in handcuffing, the lead police officer released a breath of relief and ordered, “Return to the team!”

Jingcheng

At the entrance of the Yang family’s residence

At this moment, the gate of the Yang duplex was crowded with people. Long was hiding in a corner, carefully observing. He even spotted a sniper in a house opposite the compound.

At this moment, Long was on high alert. Who were these people? Despite not appearing to be from the military, they were extremely skillful. Plus, how dare they openly surround the home of a national leader? What did this mean, were they trying to control the news of the third young master’s arrest? Didn’t they fear being discovered by the guards at the Yang residence?

However, Long had seriously underestimated these people’s capabilities. Though appearing brazen, with time passing, these people quickly disappeared from around the residence, and the nearby snipers also concealed themselves.

About five minutes later, a big Red Flag car slowly drove into the alley and parked in front of the Yang duplex. Elder Yang, accompanied by a guard, got out of the car.

The guard looked around with some confusion before finally resting his gaze on Long’s direction.

Long, who had been watching carefully, immediately withdrew. This person was too formidable. That was Long’s initial feeling. As the Soldier King of the military district, Long had his own pride. But at this moment, before this guard, Long felt somewhat timid.

“Sir, someone is watching from outside the gate.” The guard whispered to Elder Yang as soon as they entered the yard.

Elder Yang paused, looked outside, gave an acknowledging grunt, and then said, “Let it be. It would be strange if we weren’t being watched at this time.”

Upon scanning his surroundings, Long sprang into action. This was his prime opportunity. He quickly moved from the corner to the side of the Yang family’s courtyard, made an agile leap, and in an instant was over the three-meter-high wall.

As he landed in the yard, a gust of wind hit him. Long rolled on the ground to dodge the sharp attack and immediately assumed a defensive stance, saying, “Hold off. I am here on Nie Zhenbang’s orders to bring news. As soon as the third young master returned from Baghdad, he was taken away by the police before he could even get off the airplane.”

Upon hearing Long’s words, the guard paused. Elder Yang had also gotten up, his usual calmness gone. Looking at Long, Elder Yang felt a hint of familiarity. After confirming that Long was not joking, Elder Yang sternly said, “Get the car. Go to the Red Wall Compound.”

Jingcheng

A training base of the Public Security Bureau

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was handcuffed in a deserted room in the training base. The room was a vast hundred square meters.

Suddenly, the lights in the room brightened. Two strong beams directly hit Nie Zhenbang’s head. The intense light had Nie Zhenbang squinting and lowering his head to avoid it.

This was a commonly used police interrogation technique. Under such circumstances, criminals who had not undergone counter-interrogation training naturally felt a strong sense of inferiority and guilt.

About ten meters in front of the chair, a table was set up with two middle-aged police officers in uniform sitting across it. They were staring intently at him.

Nie Zhenbang, avoiding the glare, scrutinized the two officers. His mind, however, steadily calmed. He wasn’t sure what had transpired in Jingcheng and why Comrade Xuri had, in a desperate move, sought a breakthrough from him. All he knew was that as long as he held on, he was absolutely secure.

Subsequently, a smirk crossed Nie Zhenbang’s face, he said, “Quite the grand show, indeed. I didn’t expect that I, Nie Zhenbang, would have the privilege to experience such pomp. This must be my fortunate incarnation.”

“Bang!”

All of a sudden, one of the officers slapped the table, his eyes burning with anger, stared at Nie Zhenbang aggressively and said in a stern voice, “Nie Zhenbang, be honest, don’t you dare think that you can be above the law because of the connections and privileges of your family. I tell you, that is absolutely not allowed. Now, frankly admit your crimes. Perhaps, there may be a lighter punishment. Otherwise, get ready for the prison.”

Nie Zhenbang only shook his head in amusement and taunted, “Officer, there’s a saying, confess and be lenient, resist and be strict. Do you think I’m an idiot? Confess? Haha, confess what? There’s a Chinese saying: if they want to condemn you, they’ll always trump up a charge. Why don’t you just slap me with a bogus charge? Why the need for the charade with the interrogation? Wouldn’t that be simpler?”

As soon as the words came out, one of the officers stood up, looking at Nie Zhenbang and said sternly, “Good lad, it seems that unless we use some methods on you, you’ll not realize what the Horse King sees.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang’s expression also instantly darkened. These people were actually going to torture him for a confession? He then looked solemn, saying fiercely, “Torture for a confession? Dare to touch me? Don’t say I didn’t warn you, if you have the guts, try touching me..”
