In a luxurious suite at Glio City's Snail Hotel, Wang Ling, Lotus Sun and the rest of the people from No. 60 High School were restricted from leaving Mixiu nation, according to the latest instructions from the Glio City Cultivation Police Headquarters.
This was mainly aimed at Lotus Sun, and the other people being implicated was mainly a disguised threat to her.
"I'm sorry, everyone, they're here for me … I wanted to bring everyone out to have some fun, but I didn't expect everyone to be implicated …" Lotus Sun blamed herself. If she'd known this would happen, she wouldn't have come all the way here. She hadn't expected to cause trouble for everyone.
The most important thing was that she had caused trouble for Wang Ling.
Recently, she felt that her relationship with Wang Ling had improved a little with great difficulty. In the end, something like this had happened today. Who knew if this would lower his impression of her?
"It's fine, Boss Sun, don't mind it too much. Even if we can't go out, it's good to enjoy good food in the hotel, "Super Chen and Hero Guo said one after another.
"That's right, it's fine, Rongrong. This group of people is just jealous of your family's development. We have plenty of time, I'm sure you can handle it. "Li Youyue also echoed.
If they could go out, they would go out to play. If they couldn't, they would just turn on their shut-in mode and stay at home. As for Li Youyue, it didn't matter as long as she could learn new cuisine. Their attitudes were much better than Lotus Sun had imagined.
"Thank you for trusting me. I'll resolve this problem as soon as possible." Lotus Sun smiled with relief, then turned to look at Steward Lin next to her. "Uncle Lin, what's the situation now? Can we see the truck driver? "
"We're still in communication. The Glio City Cultivation Police Headquarters said that they're still investigating … they've already arranged for a lawyer to meet with the truck driver, but the situation doesn't look good. It's possible that we won't be able to see him at all. "Steward Lin frowned.
It was clear that this group of people had come prepared, and had deliberately arranged for this to happen by forcibly detaining them.
Furthermore, this was a serious crime. If they didn't think of a way to clarify the facts and used other means to slip out of Mixiu nation's territory, it might lead to deeper misunderstandings, and it would have an extremely negative impact on Huaguo Water Curtain Group and Battle Sect in international public opinion.
Wang Ling was naturally aware of the stakes in this matter.
He didn't blame her in his heart, because all of this was just an irresistible trend.
Back then, he had vigorously pushed Grenade-Throwing Senior Immortal to establish Battle Sect and supported the latter's cooperation with Huaguo Water Curtain Group because he wanted to use Battle Sect as a cover for himself.
Now that Battle Sect was growing stronger and stronger, and the attention of cultivators all over the world was focused on it, Wang Ling had expected to encounter a backlash in Glio City.
It was just that he hadn't expected the other party to use this kind of method to forcibly detain them.
He thought about it carefully for a moment. It seemed that Western cultivators were very popular to use this kind of hostage diplomacy method … No matter what, they had to put a label on you first. As for other things, they could slowly negotiate until one side completely gave in.
However, there was no evidence to support this claim.
It was the same for the cultivation police in Glio city accusing Lotus Sun of murder. From beginning to end, there was only the truck driver's false testimony.
"Right now, the worst case scenario is that truck driver. He's the only witness; if we can't prove that he testified, it'll be hard for us to prove our innocence. Also, if something happens to the truck driver, it'll be even harder for us to explain ourselves. "Fang Xing rubbed his chin and analyzed calmly.
"Classmate Fang is right." Steward Lin nodded. "So our Huaguo Water Curtain Group has also applied for a witness protection order, but it's hard to say whether the cultivation police in Glio City will enforce it."
"These people are xenophobic to begin with; they probably won't listen to us, right?"
Hero Guo sighed. "I just asked an uncle of mine who works in the cultivation police in Glio City. We were clearly on good terms before, but he didn't tell me anything this time. He told me to stay put, and said that he'd find a way for me to get rid of his connections and return to China. "
"You actually have a foreign uncle?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Back then, my grandmother had more than thirty children, and my father was the fifteenth in the family. Now that the Guo family has expanded, my uncles are naturally all over the world."
"…"
Hearing this, Steward Lin stared blankly for a long time before he continued, "Classmate Guo … you're really amazing … but your uncle has his own concerns about not telling you more. Because the power structure in this matter is too complicated.
"According to the information I've received so far, Glio City's Crimson Orchid Association is leading this matter. This is the largest local mafia, and has several excellent mercenary groups.
"The president of Crimson Orchid Association, Levis, used to be a famous captain, but he once blocked a giant ship in the canal, causing a huge traffic jam that caused huge economic losses around the world.
"Later, Levis was fired, and his family property was confiscated as a punishment. His family broke up, and he was thrown into Glio City's prison. Who would have thought that he would make a comeback in prison, and now he's the president of Crimson Orchid Association … "
"But if he's the boss of a mafia, will the authorities in Glio City listen to him obediently?" Fang Xing said.
"That's why things are troublesome."
Steward Lin said, "It's very likely that the church in Glio City is involved in this matter. In Glio City, the church is the true symbol of power. If the church steps forward and demands that the Cultivation Police Headquarters punish them, we won't be able to do anything even if they're being unreasonable. But what I don't understand now is why our Huaguo Water Curtain Group is being targeted by the church, since we've never had any grudges with them. "
"Could it have something to do with Tengu?" At that moment, Wang Muyu raised his hand obediently.
"Wooden Fish's judgment is correct."
And this was exactly what Fang Xing wanted to say: "It doesn't make sense for the church to intervene when there's no grudge between them."
"The only possibility is that Tengu's people might be in the church. They tried to kidnap Student Lotus Sun previously, but failed, and tried to shoot down the immortal boat with a missile on her way to Glio City, but failed as well.
"Now that Student Lotus Sun has come to Glio City, it's like putting a bird in a cage. Naturally, they won't miss this opportunity.
"We'll handle Miss Rongrong's matter. Compared with Miss Rongrong, I'm more worried about your safety, "Steward Lin said, then looked at Wang Ling and Wang Muyu.
Steward Lin then looked at Wang Ling and Wang Muyu. "Before the results are out, Student Wang Ling and Young Master Mokugyo, please wait in the hotel and don't go anywhere. These mafias are too much. Student Wang Ling and Young Master Mokugyo are so cute; if you fall into their hands, you might lose something and be sold off by them."
