Shortly after Xiao Chen notified her, Bai Yi'an also called Bai Yan: "Go to the airport in the west of the city. I've already booked your flight to go abroad. Don't worry, someone will meet you when you arrive overseas."

Bai Yan immediately understood: "Brother, someone came looking for you, right?"

"You don't need to worry about any of that. Let's go to the airport now." Bai Yi'an was worried about his sister and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He has a large business and many friends, but just ten minutes ago he received news that his sister was to be arrested!

What could a nineteen-year-old student possibly research? In Bai Yi'an's view, it was just those starving officials deliberately trying to target him!

"Brother, there are some things I can't explain to you right now, but I absolutely haven't done anything that violates the country's laws, and I won't go abroad. If they want to investigate you, don't worry, let them investigate."

"By the way, I need to go home for a bit. If you're worried, we can talk about it when we get home."

The Bai family is a major taxpayer in the city. If the shares of the Bai family's company are affected, the interests of countless people will be harmed.

She didn't want to affect Bai Yi'an and the Bai family, since it was something that could be dealt with quickly.

"Listen to me, hurry up—hello, hello!" Realizing that his sister had already hung up the phone, Bai Yi'an could only get up, take his coat off the back of the chair, and immediately leave the office, preparing to take the elevator down to the car factory.

"Mr. Bai, are you going out?"

Bai Yi'an's chief secretary, Cheng Jin, watched him go out and asked in confusion, "It seems you don't have any plans to go out today."

Bai Yi'an shook his head: "It's my personal matter. Important contracts can be postponed."

"Okay, Mr. Bai." Cheng Jinlai nodded, then watched Bai Yi'an anxiously pressing the elevator button repeatedly. In the past, he wouldn't have done such a pointless task.

It seems something really has happened, Cheng Jinlai thought.

...

Meanwhile, Bai Yan and Qin Lang had already boarded the car heading to the Bai family villa. Qin Lang, sitting in the driver's seat, pursed his thin lips and said after a long while, "Actually, you can listen to your brother's opinion and go abroad first."

"Are you suggesting I flee to avoid punishment?" Bai Yan raised an eyebrow. "Have you forgotten your identity? You're here to investigate me."

Qin Lang frowned. "Not counting fleeing from justice, the arrest warrant for Zhan Mingri is completely illegal."

So far, they haven't obtained any evidence of any violations by the research lab.

“But if you don’t leave now, they will arrest you. If they find anything during the interrogation, no one will care even if it’s an illegal arrest.”

The reason why Zhan Mingri and his people are so focused on this case is partly because the Bai family's business is so well-known and involves such a large amount of vested interests.

After dragging the Bai family into the mess, they may use public opinion to win over public sentiment, or they may divide up the Bai family's assets.

After telling Bai Yan what he knew, Qin Lang continued, "You should listen to your brother's arrangements. Once you leave here, they won't be able to investigate you, and they won't find any evidence from your research institute. The matter will then be dealt with quietly."

Bai Yan smiled gently: "This is based on the premise that I haven't violated any experimental rules. What if I have?"

Qin Lang felt a lump in his throat, as if a block of ice was stuck in his heart.

After a long pause, he could only listen to his own heart: "I haven't found any evidence of your violation, and I don't think Zhan Mingri could find any. According to the law, the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' applies."

Bai Yan chuckled, then gently placed her hand on Qin Lang's hand: "I just told my brother that I have never done anything that violates the laws of the country."

"Qin Lang, I share your hope that our country will get better and better. That's why I can't leave. I have very important things to do."

"You believe me." Bai Yan's lips curled slightly. "I also believe you can protect me, right?"

Looking at her gentle eyes and brows, Qin Lang finally nodded: "Okay."

The car stopped at the Bai family's house. Bai Yan went back to her bedroom, took out the USB drive next to the computer, and quickly went downstairs. Just then, Bai Yi'an drove back and saw his sister as soon as he entered the house.

"You're completely ignoring what I say!" Bai Yi'an said angrily. "You child, I'm your brother, would I ever harm you!"

"Hurry up, it's not too late to leave now!" Bai Yi'an took two steps forward, grabbed Bai Yan's hand, and walked out of the villa.

"It's too late," said Qin Lang, who was standing to the side. He had good hearing and could hear the sound of a car not far away, and he could tell that the car belonged to the military.

“You are…” Bai Yi’an frowned.

"This is Captain Qin," Bai Yan said. "He's my friend."

Friends? Bai Yi'an sized up Qin Lang, his deep brows furrowing into a deep frown. Qin Lang's face also darkened, and he turned to look outside: "They're here."

Sure enough, the next moment, the Bai family's door was violently broken open from the outside, and a person in military uniform entered first, followed by several armed men: "Bai Yan, you are suspected of collaborating with foreign forces to research inhuman genes, and you need to be investigated now."

Immediately afterward, Zhan Mingri entered, holding an arrest warrant: "Our investigation revealed that Mr. Bai bought a plane ticket to go abroad today. You are suspected of harboring a criminal, and you must also be investigated."

Qin Lang stepped forward, his eyes cold and sharp: "Arrest warrant? Where did you apply for this arrest warrant? Zhan Mingri, you are neither the person in charge nor have you initiated any investigation. Your arrest warrant is illegal."

The man in military uniform who was in the lead said, "It was approved by my uncle."

He scoffed, "Qin Lang, what are you so arrogant about in front of me? My uncle hasn't retired yet, and you haven't even taken his place!"
