"Ahem... Miss Nie, if this was a normal business transaction, why didn't you say so from the beginning? And there's no inventory list here. May I ask what these goods are...?"

Jinghe William calmly said, "It was the William family who requested that the goods be kept confidential. Do you all want to verify every single trade transaction between me and the Nie family?"

"If it can cross the border, it means that it is not a harmful substance. It seems that the military does not have the right to conduct another random inspection at the Shenxiguan checkpoint."

A simple sentence, yet it left everyone helpless. Neither William nor the Nie family were people they could interfere with. But if they just let Si Yu go, how would they explain it to their superiors?

Just then, officers from outside the arena arrived.

Upon seeing Si Yu's injuries, he immediately flew into a rage: "You are utterly outrageous! Are you trying to force a confession out of me? I am a member of the Military Commission's Working Department in Kyoto, and we will take over Si Yu's case."

"Your violent behavior will surely be reported by your superiors. Release them now."

Upon hearing this, Kong Sang thought, "Alright, Old Master Si was just in time. It's clear he really cares about Si to the core. With this double attack, he's managed to get the person out of trouble."

Lin Changli added insult to injury, saying, "The Lin family will pursue legal action against you for your inexplicable detention of me. By the way, calculate my value per minute; you'll have to pay compensation."

Kong Sang's eyelids twitched. "How shameless!" she thought.

If I didn't know this guy was deliberately causing trouble, I would have really thought he was arrested.

Kong Sang breathed a sigh of relief; this trip to Xiguan should be over now, or something bad would have really happened to her if it had been delayed any longer.

"Wait, Nie Kongsang is lying. The William family never made a deal with the Nie family." The shrill female voice made Kongsang's heart sink.
