Chapter 444 - 444 Father Jing Arrives!

444 Father Jing Arrives!

At this moment, Dugu Xiao was filled with rage, completely misunderstanding Chu Cichen’s meaning. He yelled, “Why should I care who she is? Even if she is your wife, so what? If 518 wants to kill her, then I’ll kill her in 518’s stead!”

“518, 518, what right do you have to mention 518?! The least qualified person to mention 518 here is you!” Chu Cichen erupted, his anger rising all over his body. “You killed her, yet you’re pretending to be so deeply in love with her now?”

Dugu Xiao’s pupils contracted, and he was speechless for a moment.

Chu Cichen’s phoenix eyes locked onto him. “You can’t accept the reality that you killed 518, so you blame everything on the No. 5 Neurotoxin. But if it weren’t for your bomb, would 518 have disappeared from this world? If you really want to avenge her, then kill yourself! Why come here and go crazy?!”

!!

Hearing this, Dugu Xiao was struck by his own issues and suddenly felt a headache.

He angrily shouted, “What’s wrong with me killing 518? That’s how the Dark Web Organization works. When we were trained to enter the organization, we all knew that the future was either you die or I live! One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If I didn’t kill her, she would kill me!”

Chu Cichen saw him go mad and wasn’t as angry as before. He took a deep breath and asked, “Would 518 really kill you?”

“…” Dugu Xiao was stunned, and his whole evil aura disappeared at that moment.

Would 518 kill him?

Although the former leader had always said that he would choose one of them to be the next leader, 518’s influence in the organization surpassed his at that time…

In a situation where victory or defeat had been decided, if he wanted to rise to power and use the organization’s abilities to kill his enemies for his mother and himself, he could only kill 518.

Mother…

Thinking of this person, Dugu Xiao became restless again. “I’m not wrong! Killing her is not wrong, and it won’t prevent me from fulfilling her last wish. Just you wait, I’ll make Shen Ruojing die in this prison!”

He lowered his voice on the last sentence, not letting Zheng Yi and the others hear it.

Chu Cichen frowned, looking at the dull glimmer and killing intent in Dugu Xiao’s eyes. Suddenly, he understood something. “Did you arrange for someone inside?”

Dugu Xiao laughed arrogantly, not denying it.

All the evidence had to be investigated, and during this period, Shen Ruojing was to be held in a special department’s detention center.

If Dugu Xiao had arranged for someone, then that person would also be held in the detention center at this moment…

Chu Cichen’s gaze sank and he immediately rushed out, grabbing Shen Ruojing’s arm!

Zheng Yi and the other members of the special department looked at him warily. “Mr. Chu, what else do you want to do? We won’t hold you responsible for breaking into the interrogation room since you’re 527. But now, we’re following the procedure. If you continue to interfere, don’t blame us for being impolite!”

Shen Ruojing also looked at him, feeling puzzled. Then Chu Cichen said, “You can’t be detained!”

She was about to ask why when a loud voice came from the door. “Yes, why can you detain my granddaughter?!”

Several people turned their heads and saw Shen Yuansong walking over with the butler’s support.

His bodyguards stayed outside and didn’t follow him in. But the old man alone exuded an imposing presence that was enough to lead an army of thousands.

When Zheng Yi saw him, he immediately felt a headache. He rubbed his face and squeezed a smile before greeting him, “Grandpa Shen, why are you here?”

Shen Yuansong stared at him. “I’m an old friend of your family. Yet, you took my granddaughter away like this without even informing me beforehand?!”

Zheng Yi smiled apologetically. “Grandpa Shen, this is official business…”

“Hmph, whenever I helped you, you never said it was official business!”

Shen Yuansong was the president of the Science and Technology Association. If Zheng Yi’s team wanted to investigate scientists associated with the Doom Organization, seeking Shen Yuansong’s help was the most convenient way to go about it.

If someone wanted to investigate the scientists’ ancestral home, their past activities, their university advisors, or even whether they were married or not, all this could be seen as an interest in the private lives of members of the association…

Therefore, Shen Yuansong provided many conveniences to Zheng Yi’s team.

Moreover, as the patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Yuansong had earned the respect and affection of many in the capital. It was not just because of his family background but also because of his patriotism and personal charm.

Anyway, Zheng Yi didn’t dare to personally arrest Shen Ruojing after Dugu Xiao had presented solid evidence that she was the inventor of No. 5 Neurotoxin. He only sent two newcomers over to apprehend her.

If he had attended the family reunion, he probably wouldn’t have been able to bring Shen Ruojing back.

At this moment, Zheng Yi, a burly man, lowered his head like a child and smiled. “Grandpa Shen, we appreciate your help.”

Shen Yuansong asked, “Then let me ask you, why can’t my granddaughter be released on bail? Do you have concrete evidence of her crime now?”

Zheng Yi sighed. “Yes. And just now, Miss Shen admitted that she was the one who developed the No. 5 Neurotoxin.”

When Shen Yuansong heard this, he immediately looked at Shen Ruojing with a surprised expression.

But he didn’t hesitate and still said, “There must be a reason for her actions!”

Shen Yuansong continued, “Captain Zheng, the legal system of the United Nations stipulates that no scientist is allowed to privately and actively develop toxins that are useless to humanity and only kill people. Did my granddaughter take the initiative to develop it?”

Zheng Yi pursed his lips. After listening to Shen Ruojing’s past, he now understood Captain Cui’s actions. Shen Ruojing had done it for self-preservation.

He fell silent for a moment and said, “If what she said is true, then no.”

Without consulting about what had happened, Shen Yuansong said directly, “I can vouch for her with my reputation. Everything she said is true! With me as a guarantee, can my granddaughter be released on bail?”

Zheng Yi remained silent for a while and finally said, “Mr. Shen, it’s not that I’m not giving you face. It’s just that the evidence is conclusive now, and there is no evidence to prove her innocence. Don’t worry, everything will be clear when Captain Cui comes back.”

Shen Yuansong was angry and said, “You don’t even believe me?”

Zheng Yi quickly waved his hand and said, “How could that be? You are a towering figure in our scientific community! But you also understand how harmful the No. 5 Neurotoxin is.”

Shen Yuansong took a deep breath and said, “Just say it, you won’t give me face, right?”

Zheng Yi didn’t dare to look at Shen Yuansong and just lowered his head, but he shouted, “Yes!”

Hearing this, Shen Yuansong was furious and was about to say something when a majestic voice suddenly came from the door. “What about giving me face?!”

Shen Ruojing turned her head and saw a tall man walking in.

The man was almost fifty years old, but time had not left any marks on his face.

A pair of peach blossom eyes emitted a daunting aura.

It was her father…Jing Zhen!!!
