Chapter 509 The Strongest Legal Affairs
"Are you willing to come with us?" Xiao Zhen's eyes brightened.
He had considered many possible scenarios, such as Wang Chao and Zhou Xinghe fiercely resisting and overpowering them.
He even thought of deploying more powerful teams to surround them, forcing Wang Chao to accompany them back to the Silver Corps' military base.
But he never expected Wang Chao to agree so easily.
"You said that an innocent person, even without defending themselves, will naturally prove their innocence. I am innocent, so I will cooperate with your investigation to clear my name," Wang Chao said calmly.
"If you're so eager to cooperate, then have your subordinate retract his imposing manner," Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth.
During their conversation, Zhou Xinghe's pressure had been continuously suppressing him, causing him immense pressure and making it difficult for him to speak.
Wang Chao turned his head and looked at Zhou Xinghe, speaking in a low voice, "Stop."
"Boss!"
"Reel in your pressure!"
Under Wang Chao's reprimand, Zhou Xinghe had no choice but to retract his entire aura.
Xiao Zhen, Meng Chang, and all the Tiger Seal Corps soldiers present felt a sudden reduction in pressure. They all lay on the ground, drenched in sweat, panting heavily, their hearts pounding.
Even just being suppressed by Zhou Xinghe's pressure made them feel as if they had walked through hell, as if they had lost half their lives.
Especially Meng Chang, his gaze filled with immense shock and fear as he looked at Zhou Xinghe.
He had always thought that he would be dealing with ordinary fugitives and wanted criminals. He never imagined that he would be facing a Seven-Star War God-level expert!
Just the aura alone made him feel despair!
It was unimaginable what would have happened if Zhou Xinghe had taken ruthless action against him earlier. He might have already been torn apart.
Thinking of this, Meng Chang broke out in a cold sweat once again.
The commander who had been suppressed on the ground stood up and pointed at Wang Chao, giving the order, "Very well, you admit that you're an accomplice of the fugitive. Seize him!"
Wang Chao and Zhou Xinghe immediately turned their heads, staring coldly at the commander.
The commander felt as if he was being stared at by two bloodthirsty beasts from ancient times, an icy chill running down his spine, leaving him shivering and cold all over.
"What did you just say?" Zhou Xinghe asked coldly, pressing for an answer.
The commander trembled, unable to speak a word.
"I'm asking you, what did you just say? Who do you want to handcuff?" Zhou Xinghe repeated coldly.
The commander gritted his teeth, unable to reply.
"Commander, Mr. Wang is an employee of our company, and I guarantee his innocence," Shen Bing walked over, her gaze icy, and said, "As high-ranking officials, what qualifies you to handcuff my employee based on the words of a fugitive? What intelligence do you possess?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Even if my employee is a suspect, without any evidence proving his guilt, he should not be handcuffed."
"By doing this, how are you any different from bullying and acting unlawfully?"
"If you can't distinguish right from wrong, what qualifies you to be in such a position?"
Her words were sharp, powerful, and unwavering.
This speech made the commander feel so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head.
Xiao Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Li Zhen, step back!"
Following his words, the commander quickly stepped back, not daring to face Wang Chao, Zhou Xinghe, and Shen Bing.
Xiao Zhen forced out a smile and said, "Mr. Wang is just a suspect. Until there is evidence, there's no need to handcuff him."
"We only need Mr. Wang to accompany us for further investigation. Once we have examined the evidence, we will release Mr. Wang."
"No, if there's an investigation, it will be conducted here! Otherwise, if you want to take my employee away, you must present the necessary documents!" Shen Bing asserted firmly.
She had reviewed the surveillance footage and arrived at the scene, fully aware of the kind of people they were dealing with.
Within Danfeng Group, these people dared to speak lies with their eyes wide open. If Wang Chao ended up in Xiao Zhen's hands, who knew what kind of charges he would be burdened with?
By then, Wang Chao would be like fish on a chopping block, and Xiao Zhen and the others would be the executioners.
No one knew what would happen!
To protect Wang Chao, Shen Bing had to keep him here, at least within her sight, to ensure that he wouldn't be wrongly accused by others.
Xiao Zhen frowned.
They had decided to falsely incriminate Wang Chao on the spot, so they didn't have time to create an arrest warrant for him.
Furthermore, if they immediately produced an arrest warrant for Wang Chao after the fugitive identified him, even a fool would know that it was all fake.
Now that Shen Bing had spoken up, she had put him in a difficult position.
Meng Chang's expression turned grim as he said, "President Shen, this is a matter of great importance. We cannot disclose all the information here. According to the law, when there is a suspect, they must be taken back to our War Department for further investigation!"
"You're talking about the law, right?"
Shen Bing's expression turned cold, and she immediately said to her secretary, "Xiao He, call our company's legal team."
Xiao He nodded and immediately turned to leave.
Shen Bing wasn't reassured yet. She took out her phone and called Old Master Zhao from the Zhao family, stating her purpose and said in a deep voice, "Old Master Zhao, there is a Silver Corps claiming that Wang Chao is the brother of a fugitive and wants to apprehend Wang Chao."
"Now they're talking to me about the law. Here's what we'll do: have Xu Jun and the legal team also come over."
Xiao Zhen and Meng Chang's expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.
As high-ranking officials in the Intelligence Division, they knew everything about Shen Bing and Wang Chao, as well as the close relationship between Shen Bing and the Zhao family because of Wang Chao.
The legal department of Danfeng Group was well-known and could be compared to the legendary unbeatable Canton Lawyer.
If Xu Jun and the legal team joined forces with the legal department of Danfeng Group, even if they brought over everyone from the War Department, there would be no way to win against these two teams in the field of law.
Shen Bing was determined to protect Wang Chao!
Meng Chang stared at Shen Bing, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "President Shen, are you sure you want to oppose our Tiger Seal Corps?"
"Oppose?" Shen Bing's expression turned cold as she coldly said, "As members of the War Department, your duty is to protect the people!"
"Now, without any evidence, you are willing to heed the words of a nefarious fugitive and detain a law-abiding citizen!"
"Furthermore, you were talking to us about the law earlier, and now you want to talk about opposing us?"
"I..."
Meng Chang was rendered speechless by Shen Bing's retort, his expression becoming even more unpleasant.
Xiao Zhen also looked serious and remained silent.
Shen Bing scrutinized Meng Chang and said coldly, "Commander, you lead troops into battle and apprehend fugitives, yet you don't even have your name and position on your uniform!"
"May I ask what your name is? What is your position? And what authority do you have to apprehend the lawful citizens of our company?"
"How do I know if you're an impersonator?"
"Present your credentials and evidence!"
"I..." Meng Chang was once again left speechless.
Xiao Zhen's expression grew grimmer.
They had planned this operation hastily, and due to time constraints, they only put on their battle armor and didn't carry their identification documents.
Now that Shen Bing demanded that they present their credentials, many of them couldn't produce them immediately.
Though Xiao Zhen remained calm and composed, he said, "President Shen, if you want to inspect our credentials, go ahead. Our actions are lawful and transparent. I am Xiao Zhen, the head of the Silver Corps' Intelligence Division, with the code number xxxxxx."
Meng Chang's eyes brightened, thinking, "Wow, Head Xiao is really clever. Why didn't I think of reporting my credentials?"
With this in mind, he also spoke up, "I am Meng Chang, the captain of the Third Squad of the Tiger Seal Corps, with the code number xxxxxx."
As soldiers who spent their lives in battle, they had long memorized their code numbers, leaving behind their names even in death.
Now that they reported their numbers, they weren't afraid of Shen Bing's investigation.
"Good, I have noted it down."
Shen Bing called her secretary again, took out pen and paper, and quickly wrote down Xiao Zhen and Meng Chang's names and phone numbers. She handed the paper to her secretary and said in a firm voice, "Investigate their identities immediately, and also, make the legal department come quickly."
"If they don't arrive within five minutes, tell them to get lost!"
"Understood."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe secretary took the paper and immediately went to conduct the investigation.
Xiao Zhen and Meng Chang's expressions subtly changed upon witnessing this scene.
Their identification numbers were quite complex, consisting of English codes and twenty-digit numbers. Yet, Shen Bing managed to remember them after just one mention? Her memory was impressive!
"President Shen, it's not necessary to go through all this trouble. Their identities cannot be fabricated, and it's not a big deal anyway. I can go with them," Wang Chao said calmly.
"No, we must verify their identities and have them present official documents or arrest warrants. Otherwise, I won't let them take you away!" Shen Bing asserted forcefully.
She had been planning to have dinner with Wang Chao after work, intending to get him drunk and gain control over him. What would happen if these people took Wang Chao away? That would ruin her plans.
Putting aside the impact on her plan to secure Wang Chao, the question remained whether Wang Chao would be safe in their hands. So she absolutely couldn't let them capture him.
Wang Chao felt a warm sensation upon seeing Shen Bing's determination, but he couldn't help but smile wryly. As a member of the Dragon Team, his status was on par with Tang Zelong in Canton City. Even if it was Xiao Zhen and Meng Chang, or the Commander-in-Chief of the Silver Corps, Sheng Minghui, they would have to address him as "brother." If he went with Xiao Zhen and the others and slammed his Dragon Team identification on the table, he would be safe, and they would have to show him respect.
But with Shen Bing's interference, his plan was ruined.
"Actually, President Shen, they can't do anything to me," Wang Chao uttered in a low voice.
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao and said in a deep voice, "I know you're formidable, and in terms of combat power, they can't touch you."
"However, this matter is not simply about combat strength. They represent the state machinery, and even if you are powerful, you won't be able to stand against them."
As the richest person in Canton and acquainted with many high-ranking officials, she was well aware of their methods. Some courtiers might not be competent at problem-solving, but they excelled at internal strife and defamation. Even if you were an invincible hero, once you fell into their hands, you would be at their mercy, even if you did not die, you would suffer greatly.
"Brother Wang, trust me, I absolutely won't let them take you away. Even if it means giving up the entire group, I won't allow it," Shen Bing said, her voice filled with affection.
Wang Chao trembled upon hearing her words and looked into Shen Bing's eyes with a hint of surprise. His inner softness had been touched.
Having been in the world for so long, he had known many women and had past relationships with them. Yet, for the first time, there was a woman who was willing to give up everything for him.
Danfeng Group was the largest group in Canton City, and its power was beyond imagination. Its assets were measured in trillions, an amount that could make many people sacrifice their lives to seize. But Shen Bing was willing to give up everything and even confront the powerful, regardless of the consequences, just to protect him.
Indeed, this bond touched him deeply!
Shen Bing was determined to protect Wang Chao and continued to make phone calls for assistance while waiting for the members of the legal department.
Xiao Zhen and Meng Chang had gloomy expressions as they stared coldly at Shen Bing, though they remained silent. If not for the presence of Zhou Xinghe at the scene, they would have wanted to slap Shen Bing.
The Tiger Seal Corps had always been domineering, and their actions were rarely hindered. Yet, Shen Bing had constantly posed challenges and left them powerless, causing their faces to burn with pain.
Soon, the legal department of Danfeng Group and Xu Jun's legal team arrived. When the two legal teams stood together, their oppressive presence was terrifying.
The strongest legal forces had arrived!
"Who wants to talk about the law with us?" Xu Jun stated confidently.
As soon as he appeared, the expressions of everyone in the Tiger Seal Corps turned unpleasant.
"Call the strongest members of the Legal Department over immediately," Xiao Zhen said in a low voice.
"Head Xiao, we're skilled in battle, but when it comes to legal matters, we can not compete," Meng Chang whispered.
"If we can not compete, we still have to try. If we do not bring Wang Chao back today, do you think Commander Sheng would let us off?" Xiao Zhen uttered quietly.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chang trembled all over and immediately began making phone calls without saying another word.
