Chapter 81 Delaying Time
"This female officer needs to ask you some questions. Just answer truthfully." The vice-president said to Zhou Wen and the other six people.
Liz didn't seem to have any intention of targeting Zhou Wen. She asked the six students some questions one by one, and treated Zhou Wen the same way, as if she didn't know him.
"Sir, is it okay?" After Liz finished asking, the vice principal on the side spoke.
"The other students can go back first. I would like to ask Zhou Wen to go back and assist us in the investigation." Liz waved the other students out of the office, looking at Zhou Wen and speaking casually.
The vice-president frowned slightly, but then smiled again. "If the commander wants our students to assist with the investigation, that's certainly fine. However, as you know, Sunset Academy is a semi-military academy, and these students are considered reserve soldiers. If you want to take them with you, you'll need to go through some procedures before they can go with you. If you're in a hurry, I'll go and handle the paperwork for you now."
"No need. This is an arrest warrant. Take a look. We have taken the person away now. We just asked him to go back and assist us in the investigation. He will be sent back safely soon. You don't need to worry too much." Liz sneered, took out the arrest warrant and placed it on the table in front of the vice principal.
How could she not know the vice-principal's plan? He said nice things, but he would probably inform the An family about what happened here as soon as he left. Sunset College was originally run by the An family. If something happened here, even if the An family didn't like Zhou Wen, they would definitely not sit idly by.
The vice principal's expression changed slightly when he saw the arrest warrant. He stared at Liz and asked, "What crime did our student break that requires you to use this level of arrest warrant?"
Now he has realized that Liz came here for Zhou Wen, and her previous words were just to get Zhou Wen here.
"No comment." Liz said and signaled the inspector beside her to detain Zhou Wen.
She knew that there was no time to lose and she had to take Zhou Wen away before the An family arrived.
Zhou Wen is the only candidate for the An family, and this position cannot be changed. It goes without saying that he is extremely important to the An family. If they want to go directly to the An family to ask for someone, without real evidence and hard evidence, the An family will never let Zhou Wen go with them.
However, interrogating Zhou Wen under the supervision of the An family had almost no effect. It was clearly telling Zhou Wen that they couldn't touch him at all, so how could they possibly get anything out of him?
What's more, Qiao Siyuan also suspected that the An family might be involved in this matter, which was one of the reasons why he had to bring Zhou Wen back for interrogation.
When it comes to killing Zhou Wen, not only Liz doesn't dare, even Qiao Siyuan won't do that. The An family only has Zhou Wen as a candidate. Killing him is equivalent to making a big enemy with the An family. Qiao Siyuan is not willing to offend the An family to death. At least before there is solid evidence, Qiao Siyuan will not do that.
Of course, if we could get solid evidence from Zhou Wen that the An family was involved with Jing Daoxian, that would be another story.
This possibility itself is very small, so Liz didn't really hope to get that kind of evidence. She just wanted to take Zhou Wen back before the An family came and ask for some information that Qiao Siyuan wanted to know.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen dodged and hid behind the vice-president. He had heard from Li Xuan about the Special Supervisory Bureau's style of operation. Anyone who got in would be severely punished. The other party had put so much effort into coming to Sunset College to capture him. It was obviously impossible for them to let him go after asking a few questions.
What's more, Zhou Wen himself had his own guilty conscience. After all, he had practiced Jing Daoxian's Mixian Sutra. What if the Special Supervisory Bureau recognized that this Qi Jue was related to Jing Daoxian? Wouldn't he become Jing Daoxian's accomplice?
Zhou Wen didn't know that Jing Daoxian himself was not practicing the Mixian Sutra, and the Mixian Sutra was not originally his. Even if someone recognized the Mixian Sutra, it was impossible to connect him with Jing Daoxian because of this.
What's more, no one in the Federation has ever mastered the Mysterious Immortal Scripture, and almost no one can recognize it.
"Sir, you should know that Governor An is very concerned about Sunset College. Why don't you say hello to him first?" The vice-president said with a frown.
Liz said seriously, "Federal law is above everything else. I don't care where this place is or who's here. I have to do what's my duty, no matter who comes to me. Or do you think Governor An is more powerful than federal law, Principal?"
"You've taken it out of context. We at Sunset College will definitely ask the parliament for an explanation on this matter." The vice-president's face turned pale.
"Go ahead." Liz knew she couldn't delay any longer and had to take Zhou Wen away immediately, so she winked at the inspector.
The two inspectors, one on the left and one on the right, were like phantoms, trying to subdue Zhou Wen and take him away.
"Don't touch me, I can walk by myself." Seeing that the vice principal did not stop the two inspectors, Zhou Wen knew that it would not work to rely on the school to suppress them.
"Okay, let's go." Liz was not afraid that Zhou Wen would cause trouble. She waved her hand, signaling the inspector not to do anything and let Zhou Wen go on his own.
She didn't want to make a big fuss if she could avoid being conspicuous.
Zhou Wen did not resist and walked outside obediently. Two inspectors followed him. If Zhou Wen made any unusual movement, they would immediately take action to subdue him.
"Principal Yan, we'll take our leave now." Liz said, and then led her people away.
Zhou Wen didn't hesitate and walked straight towards the school gate.
Zhou Wen just has low emotional intelligence, but that doesn’t mean he is stupid.
Liz had tricked him here in the beginning, and was so anxious to take him away. Although her words and actions were very domineering, it was also vaguely apparent that they were cautious and anxious to take him away, as if they were afraid of something.
"Now I can only delay for a little time." Zhou Wen had no chance to send a message for help. Ever since he walked in and saw Liz, he knew that Liz would not let him send a message for help under her nose, so Zhou Wen did not try, for fear of being directly detained, and maybe even the mysterious mobile phone would be taken away.
But I think the vice-president should have spread the news by now. As long as he can delay for a while, there should be a turning point.
It is obviously impossible for a mortal to escape from several legendary inspectors, at least under normal circumstances.
Zhou Wen kept walking towards the school gate without any unusual behavior or detours, which made Liz and the inspectors think that Zhou Wen had given up resistance and wanted to go back with them.
In fact, let alone a student, even a high-ranking federal official would have no chance of doing anything if he was already under their control.
Zhou Wen walked normally all the way, as if resigned to his fate. However, when he reached a small forest on campus, he suddenly exerted his strength and rushed into the woods, saying as he ran, "I have to pee urgently. I need to go first."
After passing through this small forest, not far away on the other side is the entrance to the underground Buddhist city in reality. As long as he can escape into the underground Buddhist city, he can use the mysterious power of the small Buddhist temple to delay time.
Although it was risky, because Zhou Wen still didn't know whether the small Buddhist temple in reality was exactly the same as the one in the game, he had no choice now, as there was something on him that he absolutely could not expose.
If he were taken back for interrogation, everything on him would definitely be investigated, and the mysterious cell phone might be exposed.
