Chapter 766 How horrible!
Although there was a problem at the front lines, Wang Yun felt he should not be held responsible for it. After all, he had given explicit instructions and did what he needed to do, so how was it any responsibility of his?
Kong Donghai was a little tired, so he instructed Wang Yun, “Go and investigate the matter. Make sure to weed out all the Wang Consortium and Anjing House spies.”
Wang Yun nodded in acknowledgement before leaving Kong Donghai’s official residence.
He still felt some sympathy for the commander on the front lines. With this major incident, the commander’s future could no longer be guaranteed.
Kong Donghai was someone who could not stand to be messed with. Working under such a boss, anyone would have to be extremely conscientious and cautious.
The reason why they addressed him as “boss” was that no one in the entire Alliance of Strongholds dared to officially declare independence yet. Consortiums still remained consortiums.
Wang Yun got into his own private car to leave. However, he realized something was wrong the moment he got into the car. The chauffeur was no longer his own personnel.
However, Wang Yun simply watched quietly during the journey and did not expose this.
After a while, he saw the vehicle had suddenly deviated from its original route. It was not heading towards the intelligence agency’s office or his residence at all.
Moreover, vehicles suddenly turned out of the alleys in front and behind of his car. Wang Yun remembered the license plates of these vehicles to all be from the intelligence agency. However, they were under the jurisdiction of the 1st and 3rd Military Intelligence Divisions.
Wang Yun’s face darkened further. However, he still did not say anything to the unfamiliar driver in front of him.
Just as the car was about to drive past an intersection, Wang Yun snorted. The air in the car surged like a blast, and the driver was pushed onto the steering wheel with a huge impact. His head hit the steering wheel so hard he did not stop bleeding.
The doors on both sides of the car were blasted open by the surge of air. Wang Yun bent forward and jumped out of the car. Due to inertia, he even rolled several times on the street before coming to a stop.
When the tailing vehicle arrived soon after, Wang Yun saw someone take out a pistol inside that vehicle.
There was no time to think. Wang Yun raised his hand and aimed it at the vehicle behind him. With a loud bang, an air blast was pushed out from his palm. After the invisible force hit the vehicle, it crumpled the vehicle’s hood. With an external force acting on it, the vehicle was sent rolling!
Wang Yun got up and tore off his black suit and tie. Then he quickly fled towards his most secure safe house.
He knew he could not leave the city now as the roads leading out of the stronghold would be blocked by the garrison troops.
Capturing and assassinating an intelligence officer in the stronghold was not something the directors of the two intelligence divisions would dare to do. It was definitely an order by Kong Donghai!
Actually, Kong Donghai had only sent him back to investigate the matter of the Wang Consortium’s spies to stall for time. As long as he left the official residence, Kong Donghai’s safety would be ensured. Only then did he issue an order for Wang Yun’s arrest!
But Wang Yun could not understand why Kong Donghai would suddenly want to arrest him. Although the matter at the front lines was related to him, he did not carry the major responsibility.
As Wang Yun ran madly on the road, many of the residents who had fallen asleep were jolted awake. They looked at him curiously through their windows.
Wang Yun felt a little helpless. If this were daytime, there would be a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and he could quickly blend into the crowd at any time. But it was the middle of the night. With no one on the streets, he became a really conspicuous target for his pursuers.
Eventually, Wang Yun stopped in his tracks. The company commander, Qian Yiwen, had already ordered his soldiers to set up a roadblock at the street corner ahead. But that was not the most important thing.
Worse was that more than a dozen of Wang Yun’s subordinates were being restrained next to Qian Yiwen. All of them had guns pointed at their backs.
When Wang Yun’s subordinates saw Wang Yun, they shouted, “Sir, leave by yourself. Don’t worry about us!”
But Wang Yun smiled wryly on the inside. How could he leave since it had come to this?
He raised his hands and walked over slowly. “I’m Wang Yun, the director of the intelligence agency. I would like to request a meeting with the boss. I’m innocent!”
Qian Yiwen sneered, “Whether you’re innocent or not is not for you to decide. You can explain it to your colleagues after you’ve been put in the secret prison.”
After that, a small group of soldiers approached Wang Yun cautiously. Initially, they were worried Wang Yun would ignore the safety of his subordinates and put up a resistance. But later, they realized Wang Yun was actually surrendering. His subordinates felt a little hopeless. “Sir, you don’t have to stay behind for our sakes. They can’t stop you.”
Wang Yun smiled. “Where can I go? They must have a dragnet waiting for me. But that’s fine. At least it saved me some trouble.”
His subordinates fell silent. They knew full well that Wang Yun was just finding an excuse to console them. In the past, no matter how tight of a situation Wang Yun was in, he had never been one to surrender.
Before Wang Yun could finish speaking, the soldier next to him knocked him out with the butt of his rifle. Then Wang Yun was quickly brought to the secret prison.
When Wang Yun’s subordinates saw this, they roared in anger, but there was nothing they could do.
When Wang Yun regained consciousness, he was already sitting on a cold metal chair in an interrogation room with his hands cuffed to the table in front of him. Everything on him had been taken away, including his shoes. All he had left on were a white shirt and his suit pants.
Wang Yun was barefoot on the cold ground. The incandescent light above his head was a little dim and eerie.
At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open. The director of the 1st Military Intelligence Division, Kong Sheng, walked in and said to Wang Yun with a smile, “Director Wang, you probably never thought you’d be sitting here one day, right?”
As he spoke, Kong Sheng remained standing next the door and did not approach rashly.
Wang Yun said calmly, “There’s no need to say too much. Let’s just go through with the process. I’m already in captivity, so why is Director Kong Sheng still keeping his distance? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a prisoner like
me?”
Kong Sheng laughed. “Director Wang Yun is indeed different from normal people. You can still remain so calm after being put in the secret prison. But it’s true that I really am afraid to go near you. After all, I’m not a superhuman.”
“Why did you arrest me?” Wang Yun said, “I want to see Kong Donghai.”
“You’re even addressing the boss by his name now?” Kong Sheng pulled over a chair and sat down at the door. He smiled from afar and said, “But why would the boss want to come to a place like the secret prison to visit you? Tell me, how did you conspire with the Qing Consortium and the Wang Consortium to plot against our Kong Consortium’s frontline troops? And what else have you done?”
Wang Yun was stunned. He could understand the accusation linking him with the Wang Consortium, but what did it have anything to do with the Qing Consortium? Since when did he have any dealings with them?
But then, Kong Sheng took out a photo from his shirt pocket and threw it onto the table in front of Wang Yun. “Take a look. We had a hard time getting ahold of this information.”
Wang Yun looked over and was surprised to see a picture taken in the Sacred Mountains. In it, he seemed to be whispering something to Luo Lan.
Wang Yun’s memory was very good, so when he saw the photo, he could recall the exact situation at that time. The angle of the photo was obviously taken from the Great Hoodwinker’s direction.
Wang Yun started cursing in his head, ‘Ren Xiaosu, Great Hoodwinker, you people from the Northwest are way too fucking horrible!’
