At this moment, cameras were flashing all around, and the live stream rooms of various anchors were in an uproar.
No one expected so many police officers to suddenly storm into the engagement party.
This is some big news!
Logically speaking, given the strength of the Qin and Chen families, even if they wanted to arrest someone, they would do so secretly.
What does it mean now?
Not giving them any face at all?
Those with discerning eyes have already sensed a conspiracy.
"Mr. Qin, this is Liu Hongyi from the provincial department. I suspect you of involvement in financial fraud, illegal fundraising, kidnapping and extortion..."
Qin Yi stared at the uniform in front of him, his face turning deathly pale.
He never expected that Shen Muzhen would be so shameless as to collude with the authorities.
He thought he was cold-blooded and ruthless enough, but he didn't expect Shen Mu to be even more ruthless, able to arrest people directly at his daughter's engagement party.
After Liu Hongyi finished speaking those high-sounding platitudes, his voice became much softer.
"Mr. Qin, we are all prominent figures here. There's no need to resort to violence. With so many people livestreaming, if something unpleasant happens, it will be difficult for everyone to handle the situation."
Qin Yi gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Shen Mu?"
"You've asked the wrong person. I don't know anyone named Shen Mu."
Liu Hongyi waved his hand and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Take everyone away according to the list, don't frighten the other guests."
When Qin Yi caught a glimpse of that list out of the corner of his eye, his heart sank into despair.
No one from the Qin family was left out; anyone with even a slight blood relation had their photo on the list, so there was no way they could escape.
Qin Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "You better let Shen Mu out, or I'll make a scene today, even if it costs me my life."
Liu Hongyi sneered: "Are you trying to get your loyal followers who are lying in ambush around here to make a move? Forget it, I would have arrested them long ago."
Qin Yi looked surprised. That was one of his trump cards, meant for when he was about to escape. Why had it been wiped out in one fell swoop?
"And another thing, you're ruthless enough to actually think about wiping out the entire Shen family. Those assassins have all been arrested."
“The cars and boats along your escape route have also been taken into custody, as well as your overseas account.”
"So, is there any point in struggling? Your trump cards are all useless now."
Upon hearing these words, Qin Yi slumped into his chair.
Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, he had more than one way out for himself.
Even if he is taken away by the local police today, he is confident that he will be able to get out and run away.
But now, things are completely different from what I imagined.
Which part of the process went wrong?
Why would someone know my hidden cards so clearly?
Failure is not scary; what's scary is not even knowing why you failed.
By this time, most of the guests had been evacuated, and the reporters and anchors had also been asked to leave.
Shen Mu strolled in from outside with several bodyguards.
"Qin Yi, I heard you want to see me? Is there anything you want to say before you die? I'm a kind-hearted person, maybe I can grant your request."
Qin Yi looked at Chen Mu sitting in front of him with eyes blazing with fury.
"Why?"
Shen Mu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his face beaming with smiles.
Feels good.
We've been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Now that the Qin family has been completely destroyed, as long as we slowly erode his territory, he will be the sole ruler in the Northern Province.
Thinking of this, Shen Mu was even happier.
He turned to look at Liu Hongyi: "Could you please give us two old brothers some time to talk?"
"Okay, we'll wait outside, but time is limited."
Liu Hongyi turned and led his men out.
At this point, the remaining people in the auditorium were divided into three groups.
Shen Mu sat at the table, with several bodyguards standing behind him.
Qin Yi sat opposite him, with Qin Boyan following behind.
Feng Bin did not sit down, but stood next to Qin Bai with Liu Yue and Feng Yaoyao.
The three powers are locked in a delicate balance of power.
"If you want to ask me how I know your trump cards, there's no secret to it. I should thank the young master of the Qin family."
Qin Yi suddenly turned his head to look at Qin Bai.
Enraged, he cursed, "You little brat!"
Qin Bai scoffed, "Are you getting senile? Do you think I would know your trump cards?"
His gaze fell on the so-called older brother, and his mouth stretched almost to the back of his ears in a wide grin.
I'm so happy right now.
Yeah, right.
He deserved it.
I never expected to see a father-son battle today.
The kind that's broadcast live is really worth it.
Good people don't necessarily get good rewards, but once bad people start having bad luck, it's definitely the evildoers getting their comeuppance.
Whether it's true or not, it feels good to rant.
Qin Yi was taken aback, but then he immediately understood.
Qin Bai rarely goes home, so how could he know about the power and trump cards he has cultivated over the years?
Could it be...?
His gaze fell on another young master of the Qin family.
Qin Boyan.
Even if the answer is unreliable, can a problem solved by the process of elimination still be wrong?
"Why? I trusted you so much and entrusted you with important tasks. I'm your father, why would you betray me?"
Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Qin Boyan decided to stop pretending.
He walked slowly to Shen Mu's side with his hands in his pockets, and stood opposite Qin Yi.
"Trust? I'm so grateful to you. Is the important matter you mentioned the legal representative for the latest development project?"
"Do you really think I don't know what you're up to? If the project fails, I, the legal representative, will be the first one to go to jail."
"You've really got a good plan, actually scheming against my son."
Qin Yi angrily cursed, "You unfilial son, you betrayed your father and still dare to argue here? Do you really think you'll get away with this?"
Qin Bai, standing nearby, added, "He'll definitely be going to side with the Shen family, so you don't need to worry about that."
Qin Boyan looked at him with a gloomy gaze: "You don't need to gloat there. You won't be leaving here today either. Once you're in prison, someone will treat you well with your delicate skin."
"Heh, are you really stupid, or are you pretending? With Chen Mu's personality, would he keep you by his side? Dream on."
Qin Boyan's face showed an unnatural expression: "You don't need to worry about that. Chairman Shen and I have already made an agreement. As long as I help him bring down Qin Yi, he will leave me a portion of the Qin family's assets."
Then he looked at Shen Mu with a fawning expression: "Don't you agree, Chairman Shen?"
Shen Mu glanced at him with disdain, then waved to the bodyguard beside him.
"Chairman Shen, what do you mean by this? Are you going to go back on your word...? Let me go, Shen Mu, you dare to lie to me, you'll die a horrible death."
A pitiful scream echoed in the auditorium as Qin Boyan was escorted out by bodyguards.
Liu Hongyi was already waiting outside, and he handcuffed him and put him in the car.
