"Zhou Wen, something happened. Come to Old Dragon Cave quickly." Early in the morning, Zhou Wen was still sleeping when he was woken up by his phone's ringtone. After picking it up, he heard Zhong Ziya's anxious voice.
Zhong Ziya was usually a carefree person who didn't take anything to heart. Zhou Wen had never heard him speak in such a flustered tone before. He immediately had an ominous feeling.
"What happened?" Zhou Wen hurriedly asked.
"The people from the League's Special Inspection Bureau have sealed the laboratory. They say that Teacher is an overseas spy and have arrested him. Now, the school is negotiating with the League's Special Inspection Bureau." Zhong Ziya hurriedly recounted the matter.
"What?" Zhou Wen was stunned when he heard that. He couldn't connect Wang Mingyuan to any 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 Inspection Bureau, those fellows were unreasonable in their actions. They were best at imposing groundless charges on others. He himself was a living example.
By the time Zhou Wen arrived at the scene, he realized that the entire Dragon Gate Grotto area had been sealed off. There were probably no less than a thousand inspectors in the bureau's uniform. Many of them had flowers on their shoulders and were rather high-ranking.
Liz, whom Zhou Wen had previously met, was also there. However, from the looks of it, she was only qualified to guard the entrance.
There were also some Luoyang troops, school leaders, and students outside. The scene looked very chaotic.
Zhong Ziya, Hui Haifeng, and Jiang Yan were all outside with solemn expressions.
"What's the situation now? Is Teacher alright? "Zhou Wen hurriedly went forward and asked.
"The bureau must have made a mistake. How can Teacher be a spy?" Zhong Ziya said.
Hui Haifeng comforted him. "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 Inspection Bureau wouldn't be able to take Tutor away so easily. Tutor Wang, the school's leaders, and Deputy Commander Qin are all inside. It won't be that easy for the bureau to frame Tutor."
Zhou Wen felt much better when he heard Hui Haifeng's words, but on second thought, he felt that something was amiss.
"The bureau's Director-General is here?" Zhou Wen asked Hui Haifeng.
Hui Haifeng nodded slightly. It was obvious that he was also very worried about this.
If it was just an ordinary inspector, even if it was a division minister, it would be easy to resolve the matter. It was almost impossible to take him away from Sunset College.
However, with the bureau's director coming personally, it wasn't an easy matter to resolve. There was only one possibility for the director to come personally. The six hero families had already reached a consensus. This was very disadvantageous for Wang Mingyuan.
The four of them no longer had the desire to speak. They stared eagerly at Dragon Gate Grotto, hoping to see something or hear some good news.
Not long after, they saw a group of people walking over from the stone steps. Among them were many school leaders, Wang Fei, and Deputy Governor Qin. However, their expressions were very ugly.
However, when they saw Wang Mingyuan, their bodies trembled. Wang Mingyuan was being held by two inspectors at gunpoint, and his hands were already handcuffed.
Zhou Wen and company knew very well what this meant. Even Deputy Governor Qin had failed to prevent Wang Mingyuan from being arrested. The situation was already extremely bad.
"Teacher," Zhong Ziya called out and wanted to rush forward, but he was stopped by the inspectors on both sides.
Zhong Ziya wanted to barge in. He had a fearless personality. If anyone dared to touch Wang Mingyuan, he would stab them even if they were the Emperor of Heaven.
"Ziya, stop." Wang Fei came over to stop Zhong Ziya. Zhong Ziya knew Wang Fei's relationship with Wang Mingyuan, so he didn't forcefully charge forward after being stopped by her. He only continued glaring at the inspectors.
"They are Wang Mingyuan's students, right? Bring them back for interrogation. " A tall and sturdy old man wearing a military uniform and a coat said as he looked at Zhong Ziya and the other three.
"Yes, Director-General." The inspectors beside him immediately responded and wanted to arrest them.
"Director-General, they are only ordinary students. They only have an ordinary teacher-student relationship with Wang Mingyuan. We will conduct a strict investigation regarding them. There's no need to trouble your bureau." Governor Qin extended his hand and gestured. The troops beside him immediately protected Zhou Wen and company, forming a standoff with the inspectors.
"Governor Qin, the evidence is conclusive that Wang Mingyuan is an overseas spy. Can you guarantee that his students weren't brainwashed by him and turned into his subordinates?" the elder said as he stared coldly at Qin Wufu.
"No, so I'll take them back to investigate. Our Sunset Army won't let a bad person off, but we won't malign a good person either," Qin Wufu said.
Seeing that Qin Wufu wasn't backing down, the elder frowned slightly. Qiao Siyuan walked over and whispered something into the elder's ear before glancing at Zhou Wen.
The elder's gaze landed on Zhou Wen and he said indifferently, "So it's someone from the An family. It's no wonder Governor Qin is deliberately protecting him. Forget it, I'll give the An family some face. However, if we really find out that he's involved in this case, I'm afraid the An family won't even be able to get rid of him."
With that said, he ignored Qin Wufu's reaction and walked out with the inspectors.
Wang Mingyuan looked very calm as he was escorted out. He only nodded slightly at Zhou Wen and company with a smile on his face, but he didn't say a word.
"Ms. Wang Fei, did they malign Teacher? Think of a way. We can't let them take Teacher away. If a person enters a place like the bureau, even if they are innocent, they will be crippled. Teacher can't go there," Zhong Ziya said as he pulled Wang Fei.
He knew that with his strength, it was impossible for him to save Wang Mingyuan in front of the bureau's Director-General even if he risked his life.
"We'll talk when we get back," Wang Fei said with a heavy expression as she held Zhong Ziya down.
Everyone watched helplessly as Wang Mingyuan was escorted away, but there was nothing they could do.
"Ms. Wang Fei, what's the situation now?" Zhou Wen asked.
Wang Fei sighed softly. "Although I don't believe that Uncle Mingyuan is such a person, there's conclusive evidence."
The four of them were stunned when they heard that. Zhong Ziya shouted, "Impossible! How can Teacher be that kind of person? The bureau must have maligned Teacher. They are a bunch of mad dogs that bite anyone they see."
Wang Fei shook her head slightly and said with a bitter smile, "Those documents have Uncle Mingyuan's personal signature. Many of the things were personally collected and organized by Uncle Mingyuan. Those things can't be faked."
Zhou Wen and company were stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.
