"No...this...this isn't real..." Gu Yuanshan muttered to himself in terror, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. When he heard the woman read out the terms of the detention, his heart was instantly filled with panic and despair.

“Gu Yuanshan, someone will be sent to verify your case. From this moment on, you are no longer the director of the Jiang Province Security Bureau, and Director Jiang Yuan will never see you again. So, I advise you to honestly tell me everything you’ve done over the years!” the woman said expressionlessly, her tone cold and serious.

“Listen carefully, I have a piece of advice for you: confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be punished severely! If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to listen, the consequences will be unimaginable!” After saying this, the woman turned around and prepared to leave.

Watching the woman's retreating figure, Gu Yuanshan felt as if all the strength had been suddenly drained from his body, and he collapsed to the ground. His face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color, like a blank sheet of paper. At this moment, his mind kept replaying his former glory and power, but comparing it to his current disheveled and wretched state, the immense contrast made him feel as if the sky was about to fall.

After a while, Gu Yuanshan seemed to suddenly come to his senses, struggled to his feet, and quickly walked to the guard at the door, urgently saying, "I...I need to contact someone."

The guard glanced at Gu Yuanshan and coldly replied, "Gu Yuanshan, don't waste your energy here. No matter who you try to contact, there's no way you'll be able to get out of here." Clearly, the guard was extremely disdainful of Gu Yuanshan's lingering hope.

However, Gu Yuanshan did not give up. He still pleaded with the guard, "No...no, please, just give me a phone so I can contact Qin Yu, the young master of the Qin family!"

The guards ignored it.

Just then, a sound came through the headphones.

"Give him a call and have him contact Qin Yu."

Upon hearing this, the guard quickly led Gu Yuanshan to a room.

Gu Yuanshan quickly dialed a number.

But no one answered the phone for several calls.

As he failed more and more times, he completely panicked.

He kept dialing, trying to reassure himself.

Their outcomes are all the same.

After being hit more than ten times, Gu Yuanshan went completely berserk.

He smashed the phone.

"No... Qin Yu, you bastard, I did things for you, and this is how you treat me."

He angrily cursed Qin Yu as a scoundrel.

Inside the hotel, Qin Yu looked at the phone number but didn't even glance at it.

"Send a sum of money to the Gu family, and at the same time find a way to pass on a message to Gu Yuanshan, telling him what he can and cannot say."

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

"You may all leave now. I want to be alone."

The door slowly closed.

Qin Yu sat in his seat, sipping his drink and speaking slowly.

"How's your investigation going?"

“Young master, there was indeed an aura inside the factory, but it was disturbed by a force just as I approached. I was afraid of alerting those guys, so I had to leave first.”

"Actually, I think we can try a different approach, or perhaps we could use his family background to search for this person. What do you think?"

"Young master, I'm afraid that family will not cooperate with us."

Qin Yu waved his hand.

"No, we're not cooperating. What we're going to do is very simple: just secretly give them some clues."

"Yes, young master, I understand."

Everything around was as usual, and the person from before seemed not to have appeared at all.

Meanwhile, inside the solemn and tense Tribunal, Gu Yuanshan lay quietly on a cold, hard bed. The room was unusually quiet; only his faint breathing could be heard.

Several fully armed guards stood by the bed, their faces expressionless as they watched Gu Yuanshan. Just moments before, he had been arrogant and shouting incessantly, but now he seemed like a completely different person, eerily quiet. The guards, though puzzled, didn't pay much attention; after all, they had seen many prisoners with such volatile emotions. Besides, Gu Yuanshan had just been interrogated not long ago.

However, no one expected that when the tribunal sent people to conduct a second interrogation of Gu Yuanshan, the situation would take an unexpected turn.

"Gu Yuanshan!" the man shouted.

"Gu Yuanshan!" followed by another shout.

However, despite being called several times, Gu Yuanshan remained unresponsive, as if he couldn't hear them at all. This puzzled not only the interrogators but also the guards who had been stationed there.

"What's wrong with this guy?" one of the guards muttered under his breath.

The others shook their heads, indicating they didn't know the situation either. So they raised their voices and called out Gu Yuanshan's name again.

But no matter how they called out to him, Gu Yuanshan remained motionless on the bed, not even moving a finger. At this point, the guards finally realized that something might be wrong.

"Quickly, open the door!" one of them ordered decisively.

With a dull thud, the door was slowly pushed open. Several guards hurried to the bedside and reached out to pull Gu Yuanshan away. But when their hands touched Gu Yuanshan's body, they were surprised to find that his body had become completely stiff, like a corpse that had lost all life.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened! Quickly, go and call a doctor!" A guard shouted in a panic, his face changing drastically.

In an instant, the entire tribunal descended into chaos...

When the doctor arrived, he immediately confirmed that Gu Yuanshan was dead.

The director of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Bureau died in the court.

This is big news.

It should be noted that although Gu Yuanshan was dismissed from his post...

However, since the dismissal document was never issued, he remained the bureau chief.

Moreover, he died in the Tribunal.

It's important to know that the Tribunal was established specifically to deal with traitors or criminals among superpowered individuals.

Faced with the current situation, the court immediately reported the situation to higher authorities.

Meanwhile, the top officials in Jiang Province also convened a meeting immediately after learning about Gu Yuanshan's situation.

And just as they were preparing to suppress the news.

News of Gu Yuanshan's death spread quickly.

Clearly, this was done intentionally by some people.

But who exactly is the mastermind behind this?
