“Director An….”
The conference room door was opened by Secretary Zhang, who wore a panicked expression as he strode toward An Jiuzhou.
An Jiuzhou sat at the center of the conference table, assigning the next year’s work plans to his subordinates.
Secretary Zhang’s sudden intrusion clearly displeased him. Frowning, An Jiuzhou waved his hand downward to signal for a pause.
He stood up, walked to the side, and asked Secretary Zhang in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
“I’m in a meeting. Haven’t I told you not to seek me out unless it’s extremely urgent… You always had a sense of proportion, so why this time….”
Secretary Zhang could only smile wryly in his heart as he hurriedly explained, “There’s something that doesn’t seem right to me, so I still wanted to report it to you first…”
An Jiuzhou impatiently interrupted, “What’s the matter? Can’t it wait until after my meeting?”
Secretary Zhang hesitated for a few seconds, but persisted, “I think this matter is no trifling thing….”
“Three minutes,” An Jiuzhou said, his face grave. He moved a few steps towards the door with Secretary Zhang, “Go on…”
“It’s about Young Master An asking me to investigate a girl…. At first, I thought it was a straightforward task, but….”
“The people I sent out have either been unreachable or have violated some nonsensical rules in recent days….”
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
“Such a minor task shouldn’t result in an inability to even meet face to face, but those people… they won’t even let me see them, saying that they’re being investigated, which immediately struck me as odd….”
“Could this be a… a minor plot against us?”
Hearing this, An Jiuzhou’s face grew even more serious and stern, as it was an especially sensitive time.
At this point, neither An Jiuzhou nor Secretary Zhang had considered connecting this matter to An Jiuge or Su Li, assuming it was a trap set by their opponents.
“In your opinion, this matter….”
Although An Jiuzhou was now taking it seriously, he wasn’t particularly worried.
Given his current status, moving against him would require a lot of deliberation; at most, like this time, it could be an opportunity to nab a few expendable underlings as a way to step on his dignity.
An Jiuzhou pondered for a moment, “Let it go for now, don’t mind them. Let’s see what they intend to do with me next….”
An Jiuzhou was accustomed to high-stakes battles, so he wasn’t greatly concerned, “Right, pay more attention to Jiuge’s side, tell him to keep a low profile…”
Before An Jiuzhou and Secretary Zhang could finish their discussion, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.
A squad of special equipment personnel was advancing directly toward An Jiuzhou.
“An Jiuzhou?”
“Yes, that’s me. May I ask who you are….”
“Take him away…”
With a simple confirmation, the lead person gave an order, and two people from behind came up and handcuffed An Jiuzhou, escorting him out.
An Jiuzhou, taken aback for a moment, struggled and demanded in a lowered voice, “Do you know who I am?”
The lead person sneered, “Of course, we know, but we’re also just following the rules and procedures….”
Secretary Zhang, as An Jiuzhou’s right-hand man, would certainly not sit by idly and watch An Jiuzhou being taken away.
Especially in front of so many people below, if An Jiuzhou were taken out of this door, it would take less than fifteen minutes for rumors to spread throughout Jing City.
This would be purely harmful to An Jiuzhou.
Secretary Zhang blocked the door and demanded with a brazen face, “Taking away an important staff member requires some proof, doesn’t it?”
“Heh heh….”
With a mocking laugh, a sealed… document was tossed onto Secretary Zhang.
“An Jiuzhou is suspected of endangering the safety of a Level One protected person and is authorized to be taken away for investigation.”
“Take him away….”
Secretary Zhang stood there in shock, listening to these words. When had they come into contact with a Level One protected person?
Subconsciously still blocking the doorway, the person walking toward him immediately pulled out a loaded weapon from their side.
“For those who obstruct us, we have the right to… on the spot….”
The conference room, previously noisy and restless, suddenly fell silent.
Faced with the dark muzzle, Secretary Zhang was scared senseless. He instantly lost all his thoughts and quickly dodged to the side.
“What’s going on with Director An?”
“The men I saw earlier appeared to be… from a special department, their authority above all others….”
“Is that so, has Director An been set up?”
Secretary Zhang no longer cared to pay attention to the lively and divergent thoughts of the crowd below as he quickly headed out, determined to find out what unexpected event had occurred.
Without anyone to preside over the meeting, it couldn’t continue, and the others scattered as well.
Especially those not aligned with An Jiuzhou, who were secretly delighted and eager to return and strategize.
An Jiuge, who was treated the same as An Jiuzhou, was taken away from Shenghua University.
But unlike An Jiuzhou, An Jiuge struggled and shouted fiercely.
The people from the special forces were ruthless and cold-blooded, not caring that the person before them was the An Family’s darling son.
With a few moves, they disarmed An Jiuge, who wanted to fight, leaving him limp and easily carried away by one hand.
Du Ruoshen, Jiang Baisha, and Xu Zhiheng, who witnessed the scene, were all terrified.
Although they were accustomed to throwing their weight around in Jing City, they had never personally faced such bloodthirsty and ruthless individuals.
To them, it seemed as if they were just cold objects; daring to obstruct, their fate wouldn’t be any better than An Jiuge’s.
It took a while for them to recover from the shock of the scene.
Xu Zhiheng was the first to come to his senses, “Quickly call the An Family, say something happened to Jiuge….”
“I’ll go find out what’s going on, too….”
Du Ruoshen was also in a state of panic, nodding repeatedly. Xu left first, and then Du followed quickly behind.
He needed to consult urgently, knowing that although the Du Family was rich, its foundation was actually unstable, and they had been thriving these years primarily due to their relationship with the An Family’s young master. If anything happened to Jiuge….
Du Ruoshen couldn’t even bear to imagine it.
He didn’t have time to even nod at Jiang Baisha before he hurried off.
Jiang Baisha was also anxious, after all, he genuinely considered Jiuge as his brother.
He knew Jiuge’s temperament; they would usually deliberately avoid dealing with those untouchable figures.
Apart from targeting the girl called Su Li recently, he hadn’t done anything out of line….
Jiang Baisha, the most calm and composed among them, quickly shifted suspicion to Su Li.
“Uncle Yao, come to the university to pick me up…” Jiang Baisha’s usually cold face was now covered with a layer of frost, making him appear even more intimidating.
