Chapter 147: Prison
The first thing they saw when they woke up was Jeffrey’s assistant with his lewd smile.
Then a group of men like iron towers pushed the door and entered, carrying the nine of them like cargo and placing them on white cloth without a word. Afterward, these people fluently carried them out of the room and all the way to the spacious and magnificent hall.
Zhou Zhijing similarly had a pale face and then speculated: “Maybe he’s still in the room where we woke up from our faint?”
The hall was exceptionally noisy, with various shouts and arguments joining together. In contrast, the voices of the few of them were simply as weak as the humming of mosquitoes, appearing extremely powerless.
In this noisy and chaotic commotion, the subordinate who had hurriedly left just now returned.
He came in with a group of dejected bodyguards behind him. The bodyguards, who used to be majestic, were now in a mess, each more or less carrying some injuries.
Originally, the group of guests who had been forced to squat on the ground by Tong Shenba and his subordinates were still arrogantly shouting that they would definitely make Gu Wanrong pay.
But when they saw that the villa’s bodyguards had all been detained without exception, in an instant, the entire scene was as if a “freeze spell” had been cast, falling together into a death-like silence.
This silence lasted for only a few short seconds. Then, a man in a suit shouted loudly: “Madam, your purpose for taking these nine people has been achieved. How about letting us leave?”
His words echoed in the empty hall, attracting everyone’s gaze for a time.
Gu Wanrong was slightly stunned after hearing him say this, and then couldn’t help but laugh out of extreme anger. “What kind of beautiful dream are you having? You kidnapped my people and still expect me to let it go and not pursue it? You truly have a big face.”
“We have already called the police. It won’t be long before they arrive here.” Butler Liu, standing to the side, declared loudly with clear words and a high-pitched voice.
As soon as her voice fell, the man in the suit changed color, and the quiet crowd also seemed to be ignited like a powder keg, instantly exploding. The noise was constant.
“So what if the police come? Won’t they still have to nod and bow to us obediently! I swear, they will definitely take all of you stupid fellows away and lock you in prison to reflect properly.”
“Oh, my God. Look at this group of people who have been tamed so well by social rules that they actually believe in the police. There is simply nothing more laughable to me than this!”
“You stupid and clumsy East Asians, why do you have to make such a big fuss? I can already foresee what tomorrow’s trending news will be!”
“Hmph, I promise God that I will definitely torture each of you severely to commemorate my company’s stock price, which is about to plummet because of this storm.”
Everyone attending Jeffrey’s party tonight was either a famous celebrity or a child of a wealthy and powerful family.
They had always enjoyed privileges in this country. They were not afraid of the police at all; the police and they were in cahoots.
What they were worried about was only that once the police took action, they would inevitably attract many keen paparazzi and reporters. These ubiquitous media people would report the incident extensively, and they would have to spend an extra sum of money to suppress the news that might cause a sensation tonight.
What were they mocking? What were they laughing at? What were they angry about? And what was their confidence? Gu Wanrong knew it all.
Long before arriving outside Jeffrey’s villa, while sitting in the car quietly waiting for Tong Shenba and others to successfully subdue all the villa’s security personnel, Tong Shenyi’s call had already come.
He had already reached a consensus with Richard Labette, the CEO of Pǔlán Kōngkè. Tonight, no party was allowed to intervene and interfere with their action to send Jeffrey and his group of guests to prison.
It should be known that behind Pǔlán Kōngkè was the Western European Six-Nation Consortium, which maintained inextricable and close ties with the largest arms manufacturer in Europe, and involved many other powerful groups behind it.
It was no exaggeration to say that in Europe, Pǔlán Kōngkè’s background was one of the strongest.
In contrast, even if Jeffrey and his guests joined forces, they would definitely not be able to compete with Gu Wanrong, who held the greatest say in Pǔlán Kōngkè.
Amid Jeffrey’s shouting, the police finally arrived late.
Contrary to what Jeffrey and the others imagined, and consistent with what Gu Wanrong and the others expected, the leader didn’t pay any attention to Jeffrey’s shouting.
All the police were extremely dedicated to searching for evidence and comforting the victims. Everyone subdued by Tong Shenba and his group was handcuffed and taken to the police cars.
At this time, the Endless-9 manager, who had not been found, was carried down by two subordinates.
“Miss, we found him in a secret passage of a room.” After putting down the manager and letting him slump on the ground, one of the subordinates said somewhat speechlessly and with a bit of disgust.
“Huh?”
Gu Wanrong was quite curious. Seeing the manager like this, he was injected with a drug just like Jing Xiu and the others. Why was he so uniquely hard to find?
The manager buried his head firmly in his chest with shame and fear. The coat, which was obviously several sizes too large and loose, covered his face tightly. Gu Wanrong’s curious gaze, which couldn’t be ignored, swept back and forth over him, but couldn’t make him lift his head to explain to Gu Wanrong.
“We didn’t find him in any of the rooms and suspected if there were secret rooms in the villa. Then we found him in a secret passage.”
As the subordinate spoke, his expression was a bit hard to describe, and his gaze uncontrollably drifted toward the manager’s lower body.
“Jacob likes his physique. To not disturb others, he privately took him into the secret room. We arrived just as he was being injected with muscle relaxants…”
Well, you’ve all suffered.
Gu Wanrong felt she could almost smell it. No wonder the manager looked so ashamed, and no wonder they were delayed for so long.
“As long as everyone is fine. Have Tong Shenba arrange two more days of leave for you two later, and this month’s salary will be increased by another thirty percent.”
While speaking, all the perpetrators had been arrested and taken to the police cars.
They didn’t understand why the privilege that had always worked in the past didn’t work today. How could a person from the Xia country send all of them to the police station?
Gu Wanrong would not answer for them.
Butler Liu, who was responsible for handling this series of follow-ups, also didn’t have the heart to explain for them.
Maybe when their families come to visit the prison, they can explain a sentence or two for them. More was impossible; all of Gu Wanrong’s information was well-protected by the system.
