Yu s.h.i.+jin spoke matter-of-factly.

But his words put bitter smiles on the faces of the other four.

“It is still the International a.s.sociation.” The commander-in-chief saw the rest had their eyes lowered meekly and knew he would have to speak up on their behalf. “Interfering with someone they want just like that, this is not your style.”

They knew Yu s.h.i.+jin had always kept a very low profile.

“Commander-in-chief, how do you know this is not my style?” Yu s.h.i.+jin’s lips curled up slightly.

But those pitch-black eyes were devoid of any amus.e.m.e.nt.

“Master Yu!” All four men were shocked as they glanced up. “Please don’t!”

Everyone knew what kind of place the International a.s.sociation was.

Their country was no match for the International a.s.sociation.

If they angered anyone in the a.s.sociation, it was entirely possible that the big three might just replace one of them.

The commander-in-chief noticed that Yu s.h.i.+jin was rapping his fingers against the back of his chair and knew that he was starting to lose his patience. He hurriedly got the other three to keep quiet, before looking at Yu s.h.i.+jin. “Are you well aware of the consequences of doing something like this?”

“I have my own plans.” Yu s.h.i.+jin stood up and shoved his hands into his pocket. He looked at the rest impa.s.sively. “If there is nothing else, I am leaving now.”

He looked extremely cold and commanding through the screen.

“Alright, have Chu Xuning come in.” The commander-in-chief waved.

Yu s.h.i.+jin left.

The remaining four people started to argue. “Commander-in-chief, this is too preposterous. Are you really going to let Yu s.h.i.+jin provoke the International a.s.sociation?”

“That’s right.” One of the more senior leaders took off his gla.s.ses. “You have just implicitly a.s.sented to his wanton actions. He can do whatever he wants, but must he drag us down on this suicide mission of his?”

“Who will bear the brunt of the International a.s.sociation’s rage?!”

The commander-in-chief remained quiet the entire time.

He only spoke up when the others finally stopped talking, and his tone was mocking. “You guys are so brave now that s.h.i.+jin is gone? These words… why didn’t you all speak up while he was still here?”

“Don’t forget who gave you your current positions at the International a.s.sociation.” The commander-in-chief snorted. “You all think too highly of yourselves. If not for s.h.i.+jin, you guys wouldn’t have been able to even reach one toe inside the front doors of the International a.s.sociation.”

The other three were struck silent by the words of the commander-in-chief.

They wanted to retort but failed to utter a single word.

As much as they hated to admit it, the commander-in-chief spoke the truth. If not because of Yu s.h.i.+jin, they would have already been kicked out of the International a.s.sociation.

He alone propped up the entire group.

This was no exaggeration.

“Speak to s.h.i.+jin directly if you have any objections. I will not stop you.” The commander-in-chief straightened his sleeves, his voice calm. “As long as you are able to bear the consequences.”

The entire room went silent. No one dared to speak.

They really did not dare to openly raise any objections against Yu s.h.i.+jin.

Amidst that silence, Chu Xuning entered the room with Yu s.h.i.+jin’s access card.

He heard the commander-in-chief’s words.

Chu Xuning composed himself. He was no Yu s.h.i.+jin and naturally did not dare to behave disrespectfully toward these four leaders. “Those International a.s.sociation folks should have known better than to arrest one of Master Yu’s people. It is normal that he would be angered. Have you forgotten how his ma.s.sacre at the International Battlefield just two months ago? He only stopped after the City Lord of the International Battlefield personally requested him to cease.”

Chu Xuning lowered his voice. “Also, instead of being worried about the International a.s.sociation, you should restructure the violent crimes division.”

The commander-in-chief was still musing over the words “one of Master Yu’s people”. His heart skipped a beat at Chu Xuning’s words.

“Although the International a.s.sociation was behind this matter, the one who carried out the orders was Qin Dui of the violent crimes division.” Chu Xuning took out the access pa.s.s which Yu s.h.i.+jin had given him and turned toward the door. “Master Yu already said that no one will be spared. From top to bottom. Your violent crimes division… will not be let off that easily either.”

Right before leaving, he glanced at the chair placed in the center.

Tsk, the four leaders always remained standing respectfully during these meetings. Only Master Yu would dare to pull out a chair to sit down.

As he left, he heard the commander-in-chief’s angry voice. “Immediately investigate who was the one who gave the orders to arrest one of his people. Are you all tired of living now?!”

Meanwhile, Shen Anan was led into the little black room.

“Are you going to lock me up in here?” As the door to the room opened, light from the outside lit up the dismal interior of the room.

There were only cold, metal walls.

Shen Anan had been here once before to see Su Huiqing. But it was obvious that she was now looking at the room from an entirely different perspective.

Previously, she had observed the room with glee.

But now that she was the one who was going to be locked up inside, her heart was cold with dread.

But she maintained a calm expression as she still held a trump card. Kyle.

Kyle was her teacher and the smartest economist in the International a.s.sociation. Hence, Shen Anan calmed down after her initial fright.

She believed that Yu s.h.i.+jin and gang would not really dare to do anything to her.

At most they would just lock her in here for a few days.

If she had known that this trump card of hers was nothing in Yu s.h.i.+jin’s eyes…

The chief detective smirked at her before turning to leave. He went to look for Yu s.h.i.+jin.

“What did they intend to do after locking up Ms Su?” Yu s.h.i.+jin was in the office of the Bureau Chief, leaning against a chair and looking very relaxed.

Superintendent Hong was well aware of their plans. “They would get Qin Dui to obtain a warrant and seize the Su Family.”

“Do you know what you are supposed to do now?” Yu s.h.i.+jin placed one hand on the table as he glanced toward the incoming chief detective.

His eyes were full of an icy cruelty.

Without waiting for the chief detective to answer, he spat out the words. “Go and seize the Zhang Corporation.”

Whatever they did, he would return in kind. An eye for an eye.
