Chapter 193: Taking Action

~7 min read 1,377 words

The next day, the group of five arrived in front of the Fuhua Mansion. At the entrance, two security guards quickly stepped forward to intercept them.

"Do you have an invitation letter? No one is allowed to enter without one," a tall security guard said coldly.

Director Wang handed over a gold-inlaid card from his pocket.

The security guard took it with both hands, checked it, and then hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Sir, you hold an A-grade invitation letter and may bring five people inside."

"Mm." Director Wang nodded slightly, and after a brief response, he led Chen Fan and the other three into the mansion before them.

"This invitation letter was actually sent by Zhang Rubing himself. But he would never imagine that I am here today to bring him to justice." A cold sneer played on the corner of Director Wang's mouth.

At this moment, the first-floor lobby was already bustling with people, and many local celebrities had gathered here.

As the Director of the Qingcheng City Supervision Department, many people naturally recognized Director Wang, so there was no shortage of people coming up to exchange pleasantries.

Whenever someone asked about the identities of Chen Fan and the others, Director Wang would make an excuse: "These are new interns from the department, brought along to broaden their horizons."

However, after being interrupted several times in a row, Chen Fan grew annoyed and made an excuse to wander around on his own, slipping away from the group.

This place was like a luxurious cocktail party, with exquisite food spread all around.

Chen Fan picked out a biscuit that looked decent and began to look around on his own.

Just then, a crisp female voice rang out from behind him.

"Eh, Chen Fan, is that you?"

Hearing the voice, Chen Fan turned his head subconsciously. The people who had arrived were none other than Murong Xiaoxiao, Mu Chenxue, and Su Yaqing.

"It's you guys!" Chen Fan was also somewhat surprised.

Seeing this, the three women walked up quickly, their faces full of pleasant surprise.

"Chen Fan, how come you appeared here?" Murong Xiaoxiao was the first to ask.

"I came here with a friend." Chen Fan teased, "What about you guys? How come you are here too?"

Su Yaqing, who had a lively personality, rushed to say, "Chen Fan, you wouldn't have guessed, but Xuexue is actually from Qingcheng City!"

"Oh?" Chen Fan heard this, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Su Yaqing blinked playfully and said, "Xuexue's father couldn't come, so Xuexue brought us along to join in the fun."

"So that's how it is." Chen Fan nodded lightly.

"Chen Fan, there are so many celebrities on the second floor, do you want to go take a look?" At this time, Mu Chenxue suggested softly.

Chen Fan raised his eyes, swept his gaze over the second floor, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This President Zhang can invite so many celebrities; his financial resources are truly astonishing."

Su Yaqing immediately took over the conversation and said with great interest: "That's for sure, he is the richest man in our Qingcheng City! It is said that his current wife is a former top-tier female star named Li Yanruo."

Just as the few were chatting enthusiastically, a commotion broke out in the venue. A middle-aged man in a suit appeared in the lobby, followed closely by six men dressed as bodyguards.

"President Zhang is here!"

"President Zhang, congratulations on the happy occasion."

The surrounding crowd greeted him one after another.

"So this is Zhang Rubing; he really is cautious." Chen Fan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The several bodyguards behind Zhang Rubing had solemn expressions and stayed almost inseparable from him.

Not far away, Director Wang and the others were also observing nervously, waiting for the right moment to strike.

At this time, Zhang Rubing had already stood on the stage and began his speech.

"It is a great honor for me that all my friends could come to support me. Before the official ribbon-cutting ceremony, I have two big gifts for Qingcheng City."

"First, I am personally investing 500 million to establish a scholarship fund, specifically to help those students from poor family backgrounds and to safeguard their studies."

"Good, President Zhang is truly a great philanthropist." Applause immediately erupted all around.

Zhang Rubing continued: "Second, I plan to build a hospital in Qingcheng City. This hospital will also serve only the poor, specifically to solve the problem of them not being able to afford medical care."

"President Zhang truly has the heart of a Bodhisattva." The crowd showered him with more flattery.

At this time, on Du Huajun's side, Li Ziang couldn't help but frown. He whispered to Director Wang beside him: "This person doesn't look bad; are you sure he secretly kills many entrepreneurs?"

Director Wang snorted coldly and said: "This is just his disguise. Do you think he is doing this out of kindness? We found out that he uses the name of scholarships to indirectly force those pretty female students into sexual transactions to maintain his business empire. Furthermore, he is secretly engaged in the illegal trade of human organs. I suspect his building of a hospital is just a cover."

"This person is such a beast?" Li Ziang didn't expect the other party to be so vile. His voice grew a bit louder for a moment, which caused the nearby crowd to look at him, and he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Director Wang picked up his wine glass, held it to his mouth, and whispered: "Watch for my signal later."

On Chen Fan's side, the three women, Mu Chenxue, looked at Zhang Rubing on the stage, their faces also showing expressions of respect.

Chen Fan, however, furrowed his brows. According to Director Wang's intelligence, this Zhang Rubing should just be an ordinary person. However, he had secretly used his Void-Breaking Eye to take a look just now, and this person was actually a fourth-rank ability user, and a late-stage one at that!

"A fourth-rank ability user has been disguising himself as an ordinary person; what does he want to do? And to have gone undiscovered for so many years, it's definitely not simple."

"Counting Zhang Rubing, the other side has a total of three fourth-rank late-stage ability users, and there are also four fourth-rank mid-stage ability users. We, on the other hand, have four people with fourth-rank late-stage combat power. If it comes to a fight, we might not necessarily be able to take them down."

"And this Zhang Rubing's ability is unknown; this battle is not safe."

Just as Chen Fan was simulating the outcome of this battle in his heart, Director Wang and the others had already made their move!

Director Wang, Du Huajun, and Li Ziang all exploded into action at the same time, their target aimed directly at Zhang Rubing.

Their idea was very simple: if there was a chance to capture Zhang Rubing, the six-man security team would naturally collapse without a fight.

However, the figures of the three rushing forward seemed to crash into a transparent wall, and they were instantly sent flying backward.

At this moment, one could see a person beside Zhang Rubing holding both hands up; clearly, it was his doing just now.

The figures of Du Huajun and the other two were sent flying backward, knocking down the crowd behind them to the ground.

Wails immediately erupted throughout the venue!

Director Wang stood up, his face extremely ugly.

He hadn't expected Zhang Rubing's subordinates to be so alert. It seemed there would be no choice but to have a big fight today.

With this thought, he shouted a warning: "The Supervision Department is handling a case; bystanders, please step aside."

The crowd in the venue moved away one after another to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

"Director Wang, what do you mean by this!" Zhang Rubing glared at him.

Director Wang said sternly: "Zhang Rubing, you are suspected of murdering multiple entrepreneurs; come with us."

"Director Wang, you must be mistaken; I, Zhang, have always been law-abiding."

"Whether you are guilty or not is not for you to decide." Director Wang's ability erupted, his momentum awe-inspiring.

"Go, take them down!"
