334 Something Happened (1/2)
”Zhou Wen, something happened. Come to Old Dragon Cave quickly.” Early in the morning, Zhou Wen was still sleeping when his phone rang. When the call connected, he heard Zhong Ziya's anxious voice.
Zhong Ziya was usually an indifferent person who didn't take anything to heart. Zhou Wen had never heard him speak in such a panicked tone before and had an ominous feeling in his heart.
”What happened?” Zhou Wen hurriedly asked.
”The League's Special Inspector Bureau sealed the laboratory, saying that Teacher is a spy from overseas and has arrested him. The school is negotiating with the Special Inspector Bureau,” Zhong Ziya hurriedly explained the situation.
”What?” Zhou Wen was immediately stunned when he heard that. He couldn't connect Wang Mingyuan to being an overseas spy.
”Wait for me. I'll be right there.” Zhou Wen didn't believe that Wang Mingyuan was a spy. Furthermore, with his understanding of the Special Inspector Bureau, he knew their modus operandi. They would place a groundless, trumped-up crime on their target. He was a living example.
When Zhou Wen arrived at the scene, he realized that the entire Dragon Gate Grotto was sealed off. The uniformed inspectors from the Special Inspector Bureau probably numbered about a thousand. Many of them had high-ranking epaulets on their shoulders.
Zhou Wen recognized Liz from before, but from the looks of it, she was only qualified to stand guard at the entrance.
There were also Luoyang military, college management, and students outside, making the scene look extremely chaotic.
Zhong Ziya, Hui Haifeng, and Jiang Yan were outside, their expressions grave.
”What's the situation now? Is he alright?” Zhou Wen hurriedly asked.
”It must be a mistake by the bureau. How could Teacher be a spy?” Zhong Ziya said.
Hui Haifeng comforted, ”It should be fine. This is Luoyang, and Tutor is from Luoyang's Wang family. If there's no concrete evidence, even the Director-General of the League's Special Inspector Bureau being here in person wouldn't be able to take him away so easily. Ms. Wang Fei and the school's management, and Deputy Governor Qin are inside. It won't be that easy for the bureau to frame Tutor.”
Zhou Wen felt better hearing Hui Haifeng's words, but on second thought, he felt that something was amiss.
”The Deputy-General of the Special Inspector Bureau is here?” Zhou Wen asked Hui Haifeng.
Hui Haifeng nodded slightly. It was obvious that he was very worried about this.
If only they were ordinary inspectors, even if they were ministers of a particular ministry, everything could be easily resolved. It was almost impossible to take someone away from Sunset College.
However, it wasn't an easily resolvable task if the Special Inspector Bureau's Deputy-General was here personally. There was only one reason for him to come personally. The six hero families had already reached a consensus on the matter. This might be extremely disadvantageous for Wang Mingyuan.
The four of them no longer had any desire to speak. They looked at Dragon Gate Grotto eagerly, hoping to see anything or hear good news.
Not long after, they saw a group of people approaching them from the stone staircase. Many of them were part of the school management, including Wang Fei and Deputy Governor Qin, but their expressions were sour.
However, when they saw Wang Mingyuan, their bodies trembled. Wang Mingyuan was held by two inspectors at gunpoint. He was handcuffed.
Zhou Wen and company knew very well what this meant. Even Deputy Governor Qin had been unable to stop Wang Mingyuan from being arrested. The situation was already at a terrible level.
