Chapter 394 Arrest
"How is this possible..." Li Chengxuan stared at the scene in disbelief.
Such a short distance.
Such a fast speed.
How could a normal person possibly handle that?
Old Master Li was also taken aback, his face still showing the shock of his actions: "You! How could you do such a bastard thing!"
He had already planned how to swallow his pride and plead for him, even at the cost of owing favors, but this is what happened.
“Isn’t it normal for me to do this kind of thing?” Li Chengxuan laid his cards on the table, staring fiercely at Old Master Li. “If you hadn’t given the management of the company to your son, would I be in such a miserable state?”
"The company's management rights are decided by the board of directors through a vote, not by me." Old Master Li didn't expect that he would still be thinking about this matter after more than 20 years. "If you have to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being incompetent."
"What a convenient excuse for incompetence." Li Chengxuan laughed.
Old Master Li frowned slightly.
"Then why were you able to become a manager of the Li Group in the previous generation? I'm clearly more capable than you." Li Chengxuan walked towards him step by step. "Just because you were born almost twenty years earlier than me?"
Old Master Li suddenly didn't know how to say what was on the tip of his tongue.
In terms of scheming and intrigue, Li Chengxuan was superior to him.
But he's better at making the company last.
“There’s no point in saying all this now.” Li Chengxuan’s eyes suddenly hardened. “Since you took the position that should have been mine back then, you have to give it back now.”
The words fell.
He suddenly appeared in front of Old Master Li and held a knife to his neck.
After his experience of escaping persecution abroad, the first thing he did upon returning was to have a knife prepared for him in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
"What are you doing!" Old Master Li panicked.
A hint of seriousness flashed across Jiang Ruan's eyes.
She never expected things to turn out this way.
"Don't worry," Tang Bai said to Jiang Ruan, glancing outside. "Nothing will happen."
"What can a dying man do?" Li Chengxuan controlled Old Master Li, who had always known what he wanted. "Call Li Zhishen right now and have him arrange a private jet to fly me abroad and transfer all your assets to me! Otherwise, I'll kill him."
"Clap clap clap." Tang Bai clapped his hands. "Mr. Li, what a powerful presence."
Li Chengxuan stared at him fiercely.
Tang Bai helped him see the situation clearly: "At a time like this, you still dare to hold people hostage and demand money? Are you afraid of dying too slowly?"
"Either way, we're going to die, so why not take a gamble?" Li Chengxuan was no longer afraid of anything, his gaze falling on Si Ning. "If you hadn't caught the knife just now, she would have been the one arrested!"
The original plan was for Jiang Ruan to be stabbed by his knife and Si Ning to be captured by him.
His elder brother, fearing things would escalate, had no choice but to agree to his demands, giving him money and sending him to a safe country.
Who knew that a bodyguard named Mo Mo would ruin all his plans, forcing him to use Plan B.
Hearing this, Si Ning lifted her eyelids but did not speak.
Although her skills were average, she was more than capable of evading someone who had been being chased for a long time.
"Outside," Tang Bai suddenly called out, "If we don't come in soon, someone might die."
Li Chengxuan: "?"
Jiang Ruan and the others: "?"
Everyone instinctively looked in the direction Tang Bai was looking.
Having seen nothing, Li Chengxuan gripped his knife tighter and said sternly, "Stop playing tricks! If you don't make a call soon, I'm going to take action."
"How did you find it?" A voice suddenly rang out, followed by a handsome man in a police uniform walking in, followed by several police officers. "You shouldn't be able to see that from here."
"Guess," Tang Bai said, without giving a direct answer.
Ning San: "Not interested."
Tang Bai raised his chin and pointed at Li Chengxuan: "You should be interested in this."
"I am Ning Jing, a police officer from Haicheng Public Security Bureau. This is an arrest warrant." Ning Jing calmly showed the arrest warrant to Li Chengxuan. "You are suspected of multiple crimes, including fundraising fraud and bill fraud. We are now arresting you in accordance with the law. Please cooperate with our work and do not put up any unnecessary resistance."
"Don't come any closer!" Li Chengxuan hadn't expected that he would be surrounded by police while he was in a daze. "If you come any closer, I'll kill him."
Ning San gave a wink to the police officer behind Li Chengxuan.
Just when Li Chengxuan thought he had intimidated the man, his hand holding the knife was suddenly twisted behind his back, and then Ning Jing, who was standing directly in front of him, also made a move.
It's very fast.
In less than five seconds, the handcuffs were put on Li Chengxuan.
"As expected of Captain Ning." Tang Bai gave him a thumbs up. "You get things done efficiently."
“Your captain will arrive in Haicheng in three days.” Ning Jing spoke in a flat tone, just like Mo Mo, the only difference being that Ning Jing’s expression changed. “She asked me to tell you to hurry up and finish any unfinished tasks.”
Tang Bai: "..."
Mo Mo: "..."
Mo Mo, with a mechanical expression, asked: "Does he know our captain?"
Tang Bai: "Never heard of it."
Mo Mo: "The captain's trip is confidential, how could I tell him?"
Tang Bai: "I have a bold guess."
Mo Mo: "Speak boldly."
Tang Bai looked at Ning Jing's clear face and glowing white skin and said, "Could he be the childhood sweetheart rival that the captain mentioned, who has a handsome face but no feelings?"
Mo Mo: "The captain said that her childhood sweetheart and mortal enemy is as elegant as an immortal, with a delicate heart, and is somewhat similar to the person in front of us."
Tang Bai: "Right?"
Mo Mo nodded.
Listening to their conversation, Ning Jing's expression remained unchanged, and he simply said, "Let's call it a day."
A group of police officers took Li Chengxuan away.
On the way out, Li Chengxuan kept yelling, cursing Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou, cursing Old Master Li, cursing almost everyone he could. Finally, he said fiercely, "You just wait! I will definitely take my revenge!"
A few minutes later.
The living room fell silent.
Jiang Ruan never expected the accident to end this way.
It turns out that what Si Ning said about Li Chengxuan being arrested upon his return was true.
"Miss," Tang Baining cleared her throat, "Could we ask for a few days off?"
Jiang Ruan agreed without asking, "Mm."
Tang Bai and Mo Mo exchanged a glance.
Just one "um"?
"Aren't you going to ask us why we're taking leave?" Tang Bai asked tentatively.
"Didn't Captain Ning just say that?" Jiang Ruan had been listening to the whole conversation and hadn't missed a thing, "You guys go ahead and do your work. I've been working from home most of the time these past few days."
Tang Bai fell silent.
Mo Mo didn't say anything either.
Jiang Ruan asked if they were alright, but didn't ask them anything; they had an indescribable mix of emotions in their hearts.
"Aren't you going to ask what mission our captain gave us?" Tang Bai said.
Jiang Ruan knew they had ulterior motives for being around her, but out of respect, she didn't let them say anything. Now that she clearly knows their captain sent them, she doesn't even ask.
"For Captain Ning to speak to you like that, your captain's identity must be extraordinary," Jiang Ruan guessed. "He's either a policeman or in the military; people with those identities wouldn't give the same tasks."
