Chapter 350 You’re Under Arrest

• Behind Liu Qi, Pan Jin knew Maxwell York’s identity might be terrifying, but seeing Director Liu bow like that still shocked him. Even with the county magistrate, he’d never seen Director Liu this respectful, right? His waist bent into a perfect ninety-degree angle! Maxwell looked at the fat, pig-faced Liu Qi’s respectful posture and smiled faintly. He took out a golden medal and set it on the table. Liu Qi’s face changed the instant he saw the medal. He stared hard at the name etched on it. “the Royal Guard!” Liu Qi was so scared he dropped straight to his knees. He cursed in his heart. That damn Xiang Dingyun—he’d actually made him mess with someone from the Royal Guard! The Royal Guard, a god-of-war unit bleeding on the front line, with SSSS-level files. Liu Qi could tell Maxwell was absolutely a top dog within the Royal Guard. Even an ordinary soldier from the Royal Guard could stir up wind and rain in Jegland County, let alone Maxwell with SSSS-level files! Right now Liu Qi wished he could drag Xiang Dingyun over and slice him into a thousand pieces. Pan Jin shuddered the moment he heard “the Royal Guard,” and he too dropped to his knees, staring at Maxwell with pure awe. “Where’s my wife?” Maxwell asked coolly. Liu Qi trembled, whipped his head around, and glared at Pan Jin. “Where’s Mrs. York?” “Mrs. York—Mrs. York is in another interrogation room,” Pan Jin stammered. “Take me there.” Liu Qi and Pan Jin immediately walked ahead of Maxwell, leading the way with stiff respect. In another interrogation room, a female officer was taking down Daphne Lewis’s statement. When Director Liu and Pan Jin walked in, she froze. “Director Liu…” The female officer just started to speak, but Liu Qi didn’t even look at her. He stepped up and bowed to Daphne. “Mrs. York, your husband is waiting for you outside.” The female officer was dumbfounded, and Daphne was even more stunned. Wasn’t this the police station’s leader? And he was calling her Mrs. York? But Daphne quickly caught on—Maxwell had handled the leader. Even so, she was still surprised. She hadn’t expected Maxwell to have this kind of pull even in a strange county. Haier Jegland branch. Xiang Dingyun was holding a company meeting. “Director Lin, transferred from the Northbury branch, had barely arrived at our Jegland branch when he led workers to strike, then went to the county government to raise a crowd and make trouble, which has brought extremely bad impact on our company!” Xiang Dingyun spoke sternly. Beside him, Xu Fan and Shi Hai both nodded slightly. The other senior executives kept quiet. They all knew what Xiang Dingyun was up to. “As you can see, Director Lin has already been taken by the police, but I still hope everyone will join me in a joint letter to HQ to report this!” Suddenly there was a commotion outside the conference room, and Xiang Dingyun and the others frowned hard. An assistant rushed in, shouting in panic, “Bad news! The workers have swarmed up. They demand that the company’s leaders go with them to the police station to protest and release Director Lin!” As soon as the assistant finished, people poured in. Leading the charge was Zhou Fa, with several workers from before, including his wife, Xu Wen. “What are you doing? Planning a rebellion?” Xu Fan barked with a dark face. Zhou Fa and the others were boiling mad and weren’t scared of Xu Fan at all. “Come with us to get Director Lin out!” Zhou Fa growled. The others glared at the executives. They knew: if these leaders came along, getting the police to release him would be easy as pie. “Otherwise we’ll really rebel!” More workers rushed in from outside, shouting along, “Save Director Lin!” Zhou Fa was furious. His savior had been hauled off by the police, yet the one who most deserved to be taken—Xiang Dingyun—was still swaggering around the company. Like hell he’d swallow that. The two sides faced off, every face uglier than the next. Just then, the noisy clamor outside vanished. The sudden quiet stunned everyone, and then came two sets of footsteps. Two people walked into the conference room. “Director Lin, Mr. York!” Zhou Fa and the others lit up when they saw the pair. Everyone else gaped. Weren’t they just taken to the station? How were they already back? What shocked them even more was the squad of cops trailing behind them, Pan Jin at the front. “Xiang Dingyun, you’re suspected of intentional homicide. You’re under arrest!”
