Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 216: Chapter 216: A Change in the Weather?

Su Yang glanced at Fang Jianhong and counter-asked, ”What do you want to do then?”

”I’m not unkind, after all, we almost became in-laws,” Fang Jianhong smiled, ”How about this, you kneel down, apologize to me, your elder. Then, obediently cooperate with our project. Moreover, hand over Qi’er to assist in our research, and I can overlook this matter!”

Fang Jianhong laughed again, saying, ”You should know the importance of these projects. Do you realize the magnitude of the crime for delaying the project? If I really wanted to pursue it, ten years in prison wouldn’t be enough for you!”

”Why are you bothering talking so much to him!” Fang Hui came over and directly said, ”Su Yang, listen carefully. The marriage is off, and in our eyes, you’re less than nothing now. Don’t even think about us saving you. Also, tell Hu Xiexie that now, even if she kneels before me, I wouldn’t forgive her!”

Fang Cui looked around the room sneering, ”Thinking you can turn from a sparrow to a Phoenix? Heh, with no solid foundation, it’s all empty talk. Everything in this house has nothing to do with you anymore. I advise you to pack up quickly and move out, better than being thrown out and embarrassing yourself!”

Lin Qingru walked up to Su Yang and said coldly, ”From now on, we no longer have anything to do with each other. Don’t come near me in the future, do you understand?”

Throughout, Su Yang remained silent, as if he hadn’t heard a word they said.

Meanwhile, the sound of police sirens could be heard from outside.

”They’ve arrived so quickly, huh...” Fang Jianhong laughed, ”Su Yang, it seems you have decided not to kneel and beg for mercy? Well, a man’s knees are as precious as gold. If you don’t kneel, that’s fine, but prepare to go to jail.”

About a dozen uniformed men entered, with the leading officer saying gravely, ”May I know which one of you is Fang Jianhong?”

”That’s me!” Fang Jianhong immediately went over and smiled, ”What should I call you?”

The officer glanced at Fang Jianhong and said sternly, ”Handcuff him!”

”Ah?” Fang Jianhong was stunned, not yet able to react, as he was handcuffed by several men.

”What... what are you doing?” Fang Jianhong was bewildered, ”Why are you handcuffing me?”

”We suspect you of abusing your power and taking bribes, with serious circumstances and heinous crimes. We need to take you back for assistance in the investigation,” the officer said gravely.

”Ah?” Fang Jianhong was dumbfounded, ”When... when did I do these things? Don’t... don’t speak nonsense!”

”How did those provincial projects come to be under your Third Hospital?” the officer asked sternly.

”Those were arrangements from above, Director Xue knows about this!” Fang Jianhong said urgently.

”The Director Xue you mentioned has been suspended for investigation,” the officer said coldly, ”And the province has also issued an order to thoroughly investigate this matter. We are here on the personal command of Number Three to arrest you for questioning. Do you have any more questions?”

”What?” Fang Jianhong was gaping. Director Xue was one of his major backers; had he really fallen so quickly?

He suddenly realized that something was wrong. Wasn’t it said that the Xue Family had already used their connections to get Number Three transferred? Why was Number Three suddenly issuing orders?

And Director Xue was under investigation—how big was this? Could even the power of the Xue Family not suppress this matter? Could it be that there was a change at the provincial level?

”No way, the Director Xue is that Director Xue from the Xue Family!” Fang Jianhong said unwillingly, ”He’s under investigation?”

”What about it?” the officer glared, ”The crimes he’s suspected of are more severe than yours, and the evidence is conclusive. Now it’s a matter of trial. You should be more concerned about yourself—do you still have time to worry about others?”

”This... how is this possible?” Fang Jianhong still couldn’t believe it.

Fang Hui and Fang Cui too were stupefied. If Fang Jianhong got into trouble, wouldn’t they be knocked back to where they started?

”What’s possible or impossible, take him away!” the officer ordered sternly.

Several men dragged Fang Jianhong away without further discussion.

Not long after their departure, another group of about a dozen people entered, and this time, they were indeed police officers.

”Who called the police?” The leading officer asked.

Fang Hui quickly responded, ”The one who called the police just went out, there has been a misunderstanding.”

”What happened?” the officer frowned.

”It was him!” Fang Hui pointed at Su Yang immediately, ”He delayed the progress of the provincial projects, which were under the charge of my brother. You should arrest him quickly and take him back!”

”Provincial project? What project?” the officer asked curiously.

”It’s those projects for the Third Hospital...” Fang Hui explained the situation.

The officer scratched his head, saying, ”Are you lying? We’ve just received orders to mobilize a police force to help transfer these projects. Now, these projects no longer belong to the Third Hospital, so there’s no such thing as causing any delay!”

”What?” Fang Hui and Fang Cui were dumbfounded, ”How could this be?”

”It’s the decision from the province, all these projects are returning to their original units. The Third Hospital will no longer be in charge of any projects,” the officer stated.

”They are all going back to the original units?” Fang Hui and Fang Cui nearly went mad, what was going on?

”Wasn’t Changsheng Corporation sealed, how... how could they go back?” Fang Hui asked urgently.

”That’s just an unfounded rumor; there’s nothing wrong with Changsheng Corporation!” the officer said immediately, ”Do not spread such false rumors, Director Hou Xiaolian has already refuted them in the province.”

Fang Cui exclaimed, ”Hou Xiaolian? Wasn’t he arrested? How did he get out?”

The officer angrily said, ”What nonsense are you talking, Director Hou just had a routine talk, he was never arrested. I warn you, if you continue to slander like this, I will arrest you!”

Fang Hui and Fang Cui quickly shut their mouths, exchanging glances, both shocked. What exactly was going on?

Although they didn’t know the exact details of what had happened, they knew that something big had indeed changed.

Director Xue had been arrested, Director Hou Xiaolian had been released, sending a clear signal that in this power struggle, the Xue Family had fallen, and the Hou Family emerged as the final victor!

Then, Su Yang, with close ties to the Hou Family, was on the verge of a comeback?

They looked towards Su Yang and only now realized that from beginning to end, he had remained very calm!

”If there’s nothing else, we will leave. Don’t make false emergency calls again!” the officer said.

”Wait a moment...” Su Yang finally spoke up, ”You should check out the villa at the very back, there will be a surprise.”

”What?” The officer was taken aback, while Fang Hui’s complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly ran out.

”What’s she doing?” the officer was somewhat puzzled.

”She’s probably trying to rush to destroy the evidence,” Su Yang smiled.
