Chapter 302: Chapter 218: Picking Faults!_2

--------

As Sui Yi sipped her tea, her mind was still on the defatted skin painting. The location had been identified indeed in Xinjiang, but something was strange. There were mountain ranges that matched the Tianshan Mountains, plains, and even features from other places.

Could it be divided into several locations?

But the terrain on the map was not to a small scale; it would be too difficult to pinpoint an exact location...

Or...

As Sui Yi pondered, suddenly she heard an angry shout!

"Sui Yi! You beast!"

The shout was so loud that it shook the entire room, and everyone looked over...

Ye Zhang’s palm was gripping a display case, glaring furiously at Sui Yi while he cursed, "Our Ye family took you in when you were a child, and you have the audacity to claim our family’s treasures as your own, to sell!

Without waiting for Lin Yun and others to change faces and intervene, he continued to berate, "Thinking my mother’s illness has clouded her judgment, you sold all these treasures. I wondered how a young girl like you could open such a shop! You must have sold our Ye family’s treasures to these friends of yours to make money... You wretched girl, you really..."

As he spluttered and spat, the customers in the shop were astounded, and their gazes toward Sui Yi grew strange.

The wealthy heirs frowned and sneered in disbelief. Was she really just this sort of person?

It couldn’t go on like this!

Just as Lin Yun and the staff were about to rush over to stop it,

Elder Tang and others frowned, but they were all staring at Sui Yi, waiting to see how she would handle the situation based on their experience.

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon remained motionless, the former glanced at the calmly smiling Huah Jue beside him and gave a sneer.

So what was Sui Yi’s reaction?

This was the opening ceremony. If news like this spread, not to mention the opening, Sui Yi would certainly no longer be able to mix in this line of work within Provincial City!

Yun Li watched with a smile, while Wei Feng was engrossed in playing with an inkstone...

Soon, they heard Sui Yi’s voice.

"Let him speak."

Slowly, quietly, like the gentle babbling of a brook.

Uh, Lin Yun and the others were all stunned, instinctively they did not move, and Ye Zhang, caught by surprise, faced Sui Yi’s calm and serene expression across from him, feeling slightly uneasy, as if he was seeing the face that had silently broken his hand bones again...

Shuddering, he met his elder brother’s gaze, gritted his teeth, and continued to curse with full force, listing Sui Yi’s alleged crimes, to the astonishment and contempt of all...

As he ranted, the crowd, entranced by the post-sale service, suddenly heard the sound of police sirens outside.

A tumult arose, and they came surging in, causing everyone in their path to retreat in fear.

This was the power of the officials!

Clack! A group of police officers entered.

Their boots stomped authoritatively on the shiny marble floor!

A tall and burly man swept his fierce gaze across the room, waved grandly, and commanded, "Arrest him!"

Like a bolt from the blue!

With thunderous speed!

Lin Xiaofeng and other police officers pounced on Ye Zhang, who was still spewing insults, like fierce tigers. Snap! Before he could react, Ye Zhang was pinned to the ground like a piglet, kneeling just... in front of Sui Yi!

"What are you doing, what are you..." Ye Zhang was confused and reflexively lashed out in anger, while Huah Jue, who had not yet reacted, frowned and inquired, "What is this...?"

Lin Quan’s gaze swept over and landed on his face like a hawk’s, and, flashing his badge abruptly, he declared, "I am Lin Quan from the Nanxun Police Station. Ye Zhang is suspected of engaging in drug dealing, child trafficking, and commercial fraud privately. We need to take him back for investigation. This is the arrest warrant!"

The badge was presented clearly, even carrying the chief’s name. Although he was just a town’s police chief, to be honest, Lin Quan had appeared in various social bulletins several months prior. Though not very famous, politically sensitive individuals would have seen his name in some prominent cases, and now... he had made an arrest in Provincial City?

This bold public action, accompanied by the sounding of sirens, clearly had the approval of the Provincial City public security authorities...

Ye Zhang’s face had turned pale, and it must be said that a person’s intellect is determined by nature. His first reaction wasn’t to cry out injustices like most, but was to look desperately towards Huah Jue and plead, "Big brother, save me, save me~!!!"

This response reflected the nature of a person; Ye Zhang was inherently a bully who feared the strong, with a spineless interior, which was why he feared Sui Yi so much. Now suddenly pressed to the floor like a dog, Lin Quan’s vividly ferocious aura caused his mental defenses to crumble completely.

And so he let out a cry that made Huah Jue wish he could strangle him on the spot.

But he had already cried out, and it was too late for him to distance himself from the matter.

Huah Jue’s face twitched, and as he tried to gather his thoughts for a strategy, Lin Quan was already staring at him with cold, gleaming eyes, asking, "Are you Ye Jue?"

"No," Huah Jue tightened inside, instinctively denying.

"Not? Lin Quan sneered like a ferocious leopard, "Marrying into a family turned you foolish, eh? Why didn’t you get plastic surgery? Changing your name doesn’t change who you are! Whether you’re Huah Jue or Ye Jue, that’s you in the photo, isn’t it?"

He produced a photo from his jacket!

Those close by saw three men sitting in a private room drinking, smoking, and talking animatedly; one of them was Ye Zhang, another was a different man, and the third was Huah Jue!

"Don’t tell me you don’t know the person in this photo. He is a drug dealer and also dabbles in human trafficking. You brothers seem very close to him..." Lin Quan’s cold but mocking tone shocked the onlookers.

Drug dealing, child trafficking... these were heinous crimes! (To be continued. If you like this work, please head over to qidian.com to cast your vote of recommendation or monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
