309: Chapter 309: Capturing Someone 309: Chapter 309: Capturing Someone “What did you just say?” Su Qingyu looked over the document.
“Wu Liang owns forty percent of the shares.
Coupled with those held by the Wu Family’s descendants, the total exceeds half.
They could certainly establish a one-voice system.”
“The reality of things is never quite the same as what’s on paper,” Ye Shikai said lightly, foreseeing that the upcoming negotiation would likely be a tough battle.
“Knock, knock, knock.” At that moment, the conference room door was suddenly burst open, and a squad of armed people walked in, led by a woman who strode in with a commanding presence reminiscent of a female general.
To Ye Shikai’s utmost surprise, they were even carrying automatic rifles.
“Who are you?” Su Qingyu, seeing this and becoming nervous, stepped forward to block their path, while Luo Shiqi also confronted them coldly, her eyes expressing deep hostility.
These people had come on strong, clearly up to no good.
“Cough, cough, which one of you is Mr.
Ye Shikai?” the woman coughed lightly and asked.
“Madam, I am Ye Shikai.
What do you want with me?” Ye Shikai stepped forward without any panic, willingly acknowledging his identity.
“Please come with us,” the woman said flatly.
“Okay, but I’ll need to see your identification,” Ye Shikai replied, showing neither servility nor fear.
“You’ll find out once we get there.” The woman reached down, but instead of pulling out an ID, she drew a shiny black pistol and aimed it straight at Ye Shikai’s forehead.
I’m going to call the police,” Su Qingyu shouted, trying to intervene and push away the intruders, but Luo Shiqi firmly stopped her.
“Qingyu, don’t worry, they’re not bad people,” Ye Shikai reassured her, then turned to the woman, “To walk into a hotel brazenly armed, you must be someone of significant status.”
Ye Shikai looked over the woman’s shoulder and said with a smile, “So young and already such a high rank in the police.”
“Hmph, take him away,” the woman said coldly, gesturing with her hand, and two people behind her immediately arrested Ye Shikai.
“Qingyu, Shiqi, stay here, don’t worry, I’ll be right back,” Ye Shikai spoke softly, and then he was led away by the group.
After they left, Su Qingyu collapsed to the floor, murmuring in despair, “What should we do now?
Who are these people?”
“Don’t worry, they’re not bad people.
If I’m not mistaken, they’re probably from Hong Kong’s law enforcement,” Luo Shiqi helped Su Qingyu up, being no stranger to big storms as the queen of Yanjing’s Underworld.
But Su Qingyu, who had taken over Tianya Group straight out of the ivory tower, was naturally alarmed by such situations, especially since her husband had just been taken away.
Ye Shikai’s head was covered with a black hood as he was taken to a vehicle, feeling two people sitting beside him while the car bounced consistently.
“Turn left, go straight, turn right, straight again, three consecutive rights, then go straight, and finally, stop.” Ye Shikai muttered to himself, picturing a map of Hong Kong in his mind.
As a cultivator, his perception exceeded that of an ordinary person.
He visualized himself on this map, and the car’s stopping place was…
The security bureau of Hong Kong.
“Madam, isn’t it wrong to arrest a law-abiding citizen without any reason?” Ye Shikai spoke with a smile, then felt something being stuffed into his mouth.
“Cut the crap, keep moving,” the leading woman shoved a cloth into Ye Shikai’s mouth with brusqueness resembling Zhang Ting.
He remembered how, due to a minor jest, Zhang Ting, without further words, had taken him into custody at the police station for “aggressive interrogation.”
Ye Shikai felt a push from behind, urging him to walk forward; he seemed to hear the faint sound of a door opening, and then another push.
“Sit down,” the woman ordered sharply.
Ye Shikai felt the coldness of what seemed to be a metal chair beneath him.
Suddenly, the hood was removed from his head, and his eyes, unaccustomed to the abrupt bright light, struggled to adjust.
Ye, we have the impolite burden of asking you a few questions today,” Ye Shikai found himself in a chair, uncuffed, across from a man and a woman at a table in front of him.
The woman was, of course, the one from before, and the man—Ye Shikai took a moment to be sure he didn’t recognize him—had a high rank judging by his shoulder badge.
Quite an impolite way to invite someone,” Ye Shikai remarked sarcastically.
“I told you not to be so rough,” the man said to the woman with an embarrassed face.
“I was just worried he might run off,” the woman muttered back.
“Cough, cough, sorry about that, Mr.
Ye, some of our people can be a bit rough and have offended you,” the man stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Shikai.
“Alright, what does the security bureau want with me?” Ye Shikai said, growing impatient, surprised the man was aware of their agency’s name.
In Hong Kong, maintaining public order fell to the police department; the security bureau was a special division under its umbrella, tasked with handling major cases, such as the Tomb Spirit Organization incident from five years ago.
Ye here in regard to the Tomb Spirit Organization,” the man got straight to the point.
“The security bureau has secretly discovered that the Tomb Spirit Organization is quietly reviving, and they have had recent interactions with Mr.
“Investigations are your job, nothing to do with me,” Ye Shikai flatly declined.
Ye, please cooperate with us,” the man replied, somewhat embarrassed.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now,” Ye Shikai stood up, with no intention of continuing the conversation.
“Sit down,” the woman suddenly stood up and yelled at Ye Shikai.
“Cooperation with our work is everyone’s duty,” she shouted loudly.
“Heh, I’ll have my lawyer talk to you,” Ye Shikai was also getting agitated by now, overwhelmed by these people’s baseless actions and rude demeanor.
“Captain Cheng, sit down,” the man bellowed, pulling the woman behind him, then walked up to Ye Shikai with an apologetic face.
Ye, I am truly sorry.
My subordinate is impulsive and has angered you.
Please, have a seat,” the man quickly apologized, calming Ye Shikai down a bit.
“Deputy Director Guan, you dare to kidnap my guest without saying a word?” At this moment, the room’s door opened, and Wu Yu walked in with a dozen bodyguards, followed by several people from the police department.
Wu, this is all a misunderstanding.”
