Two guards stepped forward and immediately restrained Ling Zhonglou.
Jiang Ran’s expression changed abruptly, "Dad!"
Ling Zhonglou was calm, his expression unchanged, "May I ask when I began stockpiling firearms?"
"I’ve said it’s evidence," the middle-aged man brought the sheets of paper closer, "Is this warehouse not owned by you?"
The papers contained photographs.
In the photos were missiles, firearms, and cannons, filling an entire warehouse.
Ling Zhonglou glanced at them, frowning slightly, "The owner is indeed me."
"Isn’t that the end of it?" the middle-aged man sneered, "The Judicial Hall has fully inspected it, and these weapons you’ve stockpiled,"
Jiang Huaping’s voice was calm, "The warehouse has been abandoned for a long time, how can you be sure that it was Chonglou who transported these shells in?"
"Exactly because it has been abandoned for so long, we wouldn’t have discovered it without that anonymous letter," the middle-aged man said, "As for how to determine whether it’s Ling Zhonglou or not, that indeed is a question."
"That’s why we’re only arresting him, not directly killing him."
The middle-aged man’s voice grew colder, "Take him away, public trial tomorrow."
"Xiao Huaping," Ling Zhonglou gestured to Jiang Huaping not to act rashly, "I’ll go with them."
Jiang Huaping’s gaze turned ice cold, "Good, I’ll look for evidence."
At that moment, Ling Mianxi came over, "Ah Ying, the cameras have been destroyed, the surveillance room doesn’t have any footage of that warehouse."
Ying Zijin slightly narrowed her eyes.
Without footage, there was no way to recover it using computer technology.
The situation was indeed troublesome.
Ling Dongqing walked over, smiling slightly, "Brother-in-law, how could you not see it clearly? Why resort to underhanded methods against the Qiao Family instead of just amassing weapons? Now you’ve fallen into the trap, haven’t you?"
Jiang Ran gritted his teeth, "It was you."
"Yes, it was me," Ling Dongqing openly admitted, "but you have no evidence. If you were recording, I’d just say it was you forcing me to say this. Let’s see if the Judicial Hall believes that."
Jiang Huaping looked at him indifferently.
"Brother-in-law, and you there, young master, enjoy your last days," Ling Dongqing laughed again, "once the trial is over, you’ll be thrown out of the Ling Family."
To enter the Judicial Hall and expect to come out unscathed?
Jiang Ran clenched his fists, shouting furiously, "Ling Dongqing, I’ll slaughter you!"
"Slaughter me? You’d have to have the ability first," Ling Dongqing looked at him contemptuously, "Oh, right, I can join you tomorrow to watch the trial. Maybe that will be the last time you and your father see each other."
He left with a hearty laugh, in high spirits.
Jiang Ran was uncontrollably furious, about to chase after him.
A hand pressed steadily on his shoulder.
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, "You’re 19, not young anymore, why still act on impulse?"
Jiang Ran paused, then pursed his lips, "I’m useless."
He didn’t want to rely on others for everything.
"How are you useless? Aren’t you the school tyrant?"
Jiang Ran: "..."
Fu Yunshen released Jiang Ran’s shoulder and beckoned, "Yaoyao."
Ying Zijin walked over, "I’ve thought of a way."
"Hmm?" Fu Yunshen’s peach-blossom eyes curved up, "Let me guess, is it the same one I’m thinking of?"
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Chief, the burden is heavy and the road is long, it all depends on you now."
"Okay, stay here," Fu Yunshen pinched her face with a low chuckle, "I’ll go back for a bit."
**
The heavy firearms confiscated by the Judicial Hall from the warehouse were all placed in a sealed space, and the guards were ordered to watch over them strictly.
No one dared to slack off.
Not until the sound of footsteps approached.
The guard standing at the door stiffened, respectful, "Ying Zhuo."
Fu Yunshen hummed lightly, lifting his chin, "Inside here, are the confiscated heavy firearms?"
"Yes, Ying Zhuo," the guard answered, "the Revered One has ordered us to guard them strictly and to destroy them after the interrogation of the criminal is over."
"I see," Fu Yunshen said noncommittally, "I’ll take a look inside."
Hearing this, the guards outside hesitated, not moving.
"What is it?" Fu Yunshen’s voice was gentle, "In the Judicial Hall, my words don’t carry weight anymore? That’s good."
The last two words sent a chill down the guards’ spines, and they knelt in unison.
"Ying Zhuo, please spare us, we dare not disobey."
They dared obstruct others, but Ying Zhuo?
The guards immediately opened the door, allowing Fu Yunshen to enter.
