Chapter 1304: Suffering a Secret Loss

"Bang!"

It wasn't a gunshot; it was the door being kicked open.

Outside were many reporters, and also police.

As the reporters' cameras were "clicking" away, the gun in Qi Heng's hand was still pointed at Yun Qitian, and he hadn't had time to lower it.

"What are you all doing? Get out."

By the time Qi Heng reacted, it was already too late; this scene had already been captured by the reporters.

The police produced an arrest warrant: "Qi Xiansheng, please come with us to the police station to assist with the investigation."

He glared angrily at Yun Qitian: "You are truly despicable, actually plotting against me?"

Yun Qitian shrugged innocently: "I don't understand what you're talking about. You were the one who impersonated my old classmate to lure me here, and then pointed a gun at my head, and now you're saying I plotted against you? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

"You..."

Qi Heng no longer had the chance to bicker with Yun Qitian.

With the evidence ironclad, he was forcibly taken away by the police.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am?"

Qi Heng did not want to be taken into the A Country police station; this was a trap, he could see it now.

He owned the café; he was the boss behind the scenes here.

The cup of coffee that Yun Qitian ordered had been spiked, and even though he had clearly drunk it, he was still jumping around perfectly fine to this very moment, with not a single issue.

Whatever he was doing inside, the people outside should have known, yet the waiter had shouted about calling the police, and had actually called them...

The scenes that had just occurred played through his mind rapidly, like a movie.

Qi Heng realized it: the people in his own café had been bought off, and the only person who could have laid out all of this before him was one person—Shi Ran.

Shi Ran was the one who understood him best, the one who knew best what he wanted to do!

After figuring it out, he gave up struggling and was taken away by the police.

The one-hundredth anniversary celebration of the First High School of A Country was held as scheduled; it was very lively and very grand.

After attending the school anniversary, Shi Ran prepared to head back.

Tao Qingyao and Class Monitor Chen saw her off to the airport, and Tao Qingyao was reluctant to part: "Ranran, just stay and keep me company for a few more days. It was so hard to finally meet this time, and you're leaving after staying for only two days."

Shi Ran smiled: "Next time. Next time if there's a chance, I will definitely stay and keep you company for two more days. There are some things back home that need me to handle them; I have to go back."

It wasn't that there were things back home, but rather that there was someone she didn't want to see currently locked up in an A Country Prison.

Class Monitor Chen put his arm around Tao Qingyao's shoulder, coaxing her: "Alright, don't be unhappy. I promise you, if she doesn't keep her word, we'll go to Jiangzhou to settle the score with her, okay?"

He was smoothing things over for Shi Ran; for this plan, Class Monitor Chen was a crucial link.

But Tao Qingyao, who was Shi Ran's best friend, didn't know that.

She and Shi Ran were best friends, good friends, but Tao Qingyao had a carefree personality and found it very hard to keep secrets.

Qi Heng was no ordinary person; he was meticulous in his thinking and had an exceptionally high level of vigilance. If even a single link had a slight flaw, everything would fall apart.

"Okay."

Only then did she feel a bit happier.

Tao Qingyao and Class Monitor Chen were a couple; both were in A Country, and feelings had grown between them over time.

Detention Center.

Interrogation room.

Qi Heng insisted that he was just joking with Yun Qitian; he didn't want to kill him at all, he was just trying to scare him, even though the evidence was ironclad.

As long as he didn't admit it, the laws of A Country could do nothing to him.

Qi Heng's Lüshi had already rushed over from L Country and was currently protesting strongly to the A Country government, demanding they release him.

The person interrogating him was under great pressure.

In another five hours, if he still didn't admit it, he would have to be released without charge.

A Country was a land of etiquette; even criminals were treated according to the rules.

The interrogator had never seen such a shameless person. It was clearly something he had done, yet he refused to admit it, kept quibbling, and kept splashing dirty water on the victim. What kind of person was this?

The interrogator slammed a palm onto the table: "Qi Heng, the evidence is ironclad; it's useless for you not to admit it. Just wait to spend the rest of your life in Prison."

"Heh!"

He sneered, not afraid in the slightest, and even retorted: "Since you are so certain, why bother asking me? Wouldn't it be enough to just throw me into Prison directly?"

"Or, when it's dark and no one is watching, secretly take me out and shoot me, and be done with it once and for all."

He was fearless because he understood A Country and knew that most people in A Country were gentlemen who couldn't do such things, which was why he was confronting them head-on.

He only needed to wait now, wait for his Lüshi to arrive.

The interrogator's face was flushed with anger, yet he was left speechless by the retort.

At this moment, a staff member entered from outside and whispered a few words to the interrogator.

His face turned even redder, and he looked even angrier than before.

"No, I don't agree. You cannot take him away; he definitely has issues."

The person who had come darkened their face, displeased: "Follow orders. This is the opinion from above; your disagreement is useless."

"Hmph! You can go. Consider yourself lucky! Remember not to fall into my hands next time. If you fall into my hands next time, I will definitely shoot you."

The interrogator angrily unlocked the handcuffs on Qi Heng's wrists and let him go with the person who had arrived.

Qi Heng was triumphant, and as he was leaving, he still provoked: "Rest assured, next time it will only be you falling into my hands; I won't fall into your hands again."

Walking out of the interrogation room, a man in a suit and leather shoes stood outside, whom he did not recognize.

The man said, "Greetings, President Qi. I am the person here to pick you up."

"Who are you? Where is Lawyer Wang?"

Qi Heng did not recognize the person who had come, and he felt a sense of vigilance.

This person explained, "Lawyer Wang is on his way. My name is Jin Yuanhang, I am the legal representative of Yuanhang Law Firm, and I am also a friend of Lawyer Wang. He entrusted me to pick you up and have you stay at my place for the time being."

Jin Yuanhang, a famous gold-medal lawyer in A Country.

Although Qi Heng had never met this person, he had heard of his great name.

No wonder he could get him out ahead of schedule; it turned out Lawyer Wang had sought out Jin Yuanhang.

So he no longer doubted, finished the procedures with Lawyer Jin, and walked out of the detention center.

The sky outside was very blue, but he had no heart to admire it; he only wanted to leave this place quickly, the faster the better.

"Lawyer Jin, please take me to the airport. Sorry for the trouble."

Jin Yuanhang said, "There is air traffic control at the airport today, and all flights are prohibited. It is useless for you to go to the airport."

He also explained that it was precisely because the airport was closed to flights that Lawyer Wang could not come, which was why he had asked him to come and pick him up to stay at his place temporarily.

Lawyer Jin was very polite, expressing that his humble abode was simple and that he had wronged the President.

It was already quite good that Qi Heng could get out of the detention center; it counted as escaping a disaster. He had been terrified for these past two days, fearing that the people of Yun Qitian would enter the detention center to assassinate him.

Fortunately, he had overthought it, and the thing he was worried about did not happen.

Having escaped death, having a safe place to stay was the most important thing; who would care whether it was simple or not?

But upon arriving at the place, he discovered that Lawyer Jin had truly not lied; this place was indeed simple enough.

It was so simple that it didn't look like a lawyer's home at all.

It was a very large room with walls on all four sides, only a circle of worn-out sofas placed in the middle of the room, and the walls were bare with nothing on them.
