"This female officer needs to ask you some questions. Just answer truthfully," the vice-chancellor said to Zhou Wen and company.
Liz didn't seem to have any intention of targeting Zhou Wen. She asked the six students questions one by one and treated him the same. It was as though she didn't know him.
After Liz was done with her questions, the vice-chancellor said, "Sir, is that all?"
"The rest of you can go back first. I wish to invite Zhou Wen back to assist in our investigations." Liz waved her hand to get the other students to leave the office. She scrutinized Zhou Wen and spoke in a seemingly casual manner.
The vice-chancellor frowned slightly, but he instantly restored his smile. "Sir, it's naturally possible if you want our students to assist in your investigations. However, as you know, our Sunset College is considered half a military school. These students can be considered reserve soldiers. If you wish to take them away, you will need to go through some procedures to get them to leave with you. If you are in a rush, I'll help you with the procedures now."
"There's no need. This is an arrest warrant. Take a look. We will be taking him away now. We only want him to assist in our investigations. We will soon send him back unharmed, so you don't have to worry too much." Liz sneered as she took out the arrest warrant and placed it on the table in front of the vice-chancellor.
How could she not know what the wily vice-chancellor was planning? Although he spoke nicely, it was likely that he would inform the An family of the matter the moment he left. Sunset College was run by the An family, so even if they didn't like Zhou Wen, they definitely wouldn't sit idly by if something happened here.
When the vice-chancellor saw the arrest warrant, his expression changed slightly. He stared at Liz and asked, "What law did our student break? Is there a need for you to use an arrest warrant of this level? "
He could already tell that Liz was here for Zhou Wen. She had only said those words to get Zhou Wen here.
"No comment," Liz said as she gestured for the inspector beside her to detain Zhou Wen.
She knew that there was no time to lose. She had to take Zhou Wen away before the An family arrived.
Zhou Wen was the An family's only candidate, the kind that couldn't be changed. It was self-evident how important he was to the An family. If they directly went to the An family to get him, it was impossible for them to let him go with them without concrete evidence.
As for interrogating Zhou Wen under the An family's supervision, it was almost useless. It was clearly telling Zhou Wen that they couldn't touch him, so how could they get anything out of him?
Furthermore, Qiao Siyuan suspected that the An family might be involved in this matter. This was also one of the reasons why he had to take Zhou Wen back for interrogation.
Killing Zhou Wen was something Qiao Siyuan wouldn't do, much less Liz. The An family only had Zhou Wen. Killing him was equivalent to forming a feud with the An family. Qiao Siyuan didn't wish to offend the An family to the extreme. At the very least, he wouldn't do so without concrete evidence.
Of course, it would be a different story if he could obtain concrete evidence that the An family was involved with Jing Daoxian from Zhou Wen.
The possibility was very low, so Liz didn't really wish to obtain such evidence. All she wanted was to bring Zhou Wen back before the An family arrived and interrogate him about the information Qiao Siyuan wanted.
When Zhou Wen saw this, he immediately hid behind the vice-chancellor. He had heard from Li Xuan about the Special Investigation Bureau's style of doing things. Anyone who entered would be skinned. Since the other party had spent so much effort to come to Sunset College to capture him, it was clearly impossible for them to let him go after a few questions.
Furthermore, Zhou Wen felt guilty. After all, he had cultivated Jing Daoxian's Lost Immortal Sutra. If the Special Investigation Bureau recognized that the Primordial Energy Art was related to Jing Daoxian, wouldn't that make him Jing Daoxian's accomplice?
Zhou Wen didn't know that Jing Daoxian didn't cultivate the Lost Immortal Sutra. The Lost Immortal Sutra wasn't his to begin with. Even if someone recognized the Lost Immortal Sutra, it was impossible to connect him to Jing Daoxian.
Furthermore, no one in the League had ever cultivated the Lost Immortal Sutra. Almost no one could recognize it.
"Sir, you should know that Overseer An is very concerned about Sunset College. Shouldn't you inform him first?" the vice-chancellor said with a frown.
Liz said in all seriousness, "The League's laws are above everything else. I don't care where this place is or who is here. As long as it's my duty, I have to do what needs to be done. It doesn't matter who comes. Or do you think Overseer An is above the League's laws? "
"Taking things out of context. Our Sunset College will definitely demand an explanation from the senate." The vice-chancellor's face was livid.
"Go ahead." Liz knew that she couldn't delay any further. She had to leave with Zhou Wen immediately, so she signaled the inspectors with her eyes.
The two inspectors flanked him like phantoms as they tried to subdue Zhou Wen and take him away.
"Don't touch me. I can leave by myself." Seeing that the vice-chancellor didn't stop the two inspectors, Zhou Wen knew that it was impossible to rely on the school to suppress them.
"Alright, let's go." Liz wasn't afraid that Zhou Wen would stir up trouble. She waved her hand, gesturing for the inspectors not to take action and let Zhou Wen leave by himself.
She didn't wish to cause too much of a commotion if it wasn't too conspicuous.
Zhou Wen didn't resist and obediently walked out. The two inspectors followed behind him, ready to immediately subdue him if he did anything out of the ordinary.
"Chancellor Yan, we'll be taking our leave," Liz said before leaving with her men.
Zhou Wen didn't dawdle as he headed straight for the school's entrance.
Zhou Wen's EQ wasn't high, but it didn't mean he was stupid.
Liz had tricked him into coming in the beginning and was in such a hurry to take him away. Although her words and actions were domineering, he could vaguely tell that they had qualms in taking him away as though they were afraid of something.
All I can do now is stall for a little more time. Zhou Wen didn't have a chance to send a request for help. Ever since he entered and saw Liz, he knew that it was impossible for Liz to get him to send a request for help under her nose. Therefore, Zhou Wen didn't make any attempts to prevent himself from being detained. Perhaps even the mysterious phone would be taken away.
However, it was likely that the vice-chancellor had already spread the news. As long as he could stall for some time, there would likely be a turn for the better.
It was clearly impossible for someone at the Mortal stage to escape from a few Legendary inspectors. At least, it was impossible under normal circumstances.
Zhou Wen kept walking towards the school's entrance without any abnormal actions or taking any detours. It made Liz and the inspectors believe that Zhou Wen had given up resisting and was returning with them.
In fact, even if he was a high-ranking League official, he wouldn't be able to pull any tricks under their control, much less a student.
Zhou Wen walked very normally, as though he had resigned himself to his fate. However, when he arrived at a tiny forest in the school, he suddenly exerted his strength and charged into the forest. As he ran, he said, "I need to pee. I'll relieve myself first."
After passing through the forest, the entrance to Underground Buddha City was not far away. As long as he could escape into Underground Buddha City, he could use Small Buddha Temple's mysterious powers to stall for time.
Although it was risky because Zhou Wen still didn't know if Small Buddha Temple in reality was the same as in-game, he had no other choice. He had something he absolutely couldn't expose.
