As Luo Lie spoke, his words carried a certain undertone of intimidation. The moment he opened his mouth, the once noisy area outside the interrogation room suddenly fell silent, and the air became as still as death.

Now no one was clear on what Luo Lie, a member of the Shadow Sword Organization, intended to do!

Although Luo Lie worked temporarily at the Ministry of State Security, he was not under its control. Furthermore, he held considerable privileges locally. Even during missions, the Ministry of State Security had to cooperate fully, which allowed Luo Lie to rebuke Wang Zhengchuan boldly.

Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh. Even he hadn't expected such a turn of events!

Initially, he thought he would need some tough measures to leave, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Upon hearing Luo Lie's words, Wang Zhengchuan's expression froze. He looked as if he'd swallowed a dead fly, utterly displeased.

At that moment, he glanced at Lu Yu and then at Luo Lie, before saying, "Mr. Luo, you must understand that this person is a criminal. You're shielding a criminal!"

"I hope you think carefully about the consequences of your actions. Harboring a criminal is a serious offense!"

Wang Zhengchuan's words sounded righteous, like a dutiful director, but the real cause was entirely due to a personal vendetta!

The cause of this matter was a farce he created to vent his son's anger.

"A criminal?"

Upon hearing Wang Zhengchuan's remark, Luo Lie squinted slightly, glanced at Lu Yu, and then fixed his gaze on Wang Zhengchuan, saying, "What crime did he commit?"

In his words, Luo Lie's tone was chilling. Despite Lu Yu's reckless behavior and frequent killings, due to his unique background and experience and the fact that those he killed were often deserving, Lu Yu couldn't be judged by ordinary legal standards.

"Intentional injury!"

Upon hearing Luo Lie's question, Wang Zhengchuan snarled, his words full of anger.

His son, Wang Guangyao, who yesterday was lively and radiant, had been tormented by Lu Yu to the point of being worse than a dead dog, fueling Wang Zhengchuan's intense rage.

"Intentional injury!?"

Upon hearing Wang Zhengchuan's claimed charge, Luo Lie coldly replied, "Wang Zhengchuan, are you saying you brought Mr. Lu to the Ministry of State Security on the charge of intentional injury?"

In his words, Luo Lie's tone revealed a hint of coldness.

Intentional injury cases are handled by the police department. Even if Lu Yu really committed intentional injury, the Lin'an City Police Department should be dealing with it.

Yet now, Lu Yu appeared at the Lin'an City Ministry of State Security and was brought in on the charge of intentional injury, which was unreasonable!

Bringing someone to the Ministry of State Security on the charge of intentional injury itself is an act of overreach!

"Correct!"

At this moment, Wang Zhengchuan, filled with anger, coldly responded to Luo Lie.

"Since Mr. Lu's crime is intentional injury—"

Upon hearing Wang Zhengchuan's words, Luo Lie squinted slightly before asking, "Then I would like to ask, whom did he injure to be brought to the Ministry of State Security?"

"This—"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Zhengchuan's words faltered, and he was momentarily stunned, unable to answer the question!

Lu Yu had been brought to the Ministry of State Security purely because of beating up Wang Guangyao, subject to Wang Zhengchuan's malicious retaliation.

This matter was entirely the result of Wang Zhengchuan abusing his authority and undertaking malicious revenge. If Wang Zhengchuan admitted it was because of his son, then his abuse of power and malicious retaliation would be confirmed!

"Wang Zhengchuan"

Seeing the hesitant Wang Zhengchuan before him, Luo Lie coldly demanded, "I'm asking you, who did Mr. Lu injure to be charged with intentional injury and brought to the Ministry of State Security?"

At this moment, Luo Lie also detected something from Wang Zhengchuan's hesitant demeanor, and he spoke aggressively, leaving Wang Zhengchuan no room to hesitate.

"Mr. Luo, are you not understanding the situation!?"

At this moment, in his desperation, Wang Zhengchuan retorted, "Isn't the focus now on him attacking Ministry of State Security personnel in the interrogation room?"

With those words, Wang Zhengchuan sought to shift the topic away from Luo Lie.

"No, you're wrong!"

Upon hearing Wang Zhengchuan's words, Luo Lie coldly replied, "The focus now is why Mr. Lu was brought to the Ministry of State Security!"

In his words, Luo Lie's eyes burned intensely as he stared at Wang Zhengchuan and said, "If this matter initially stems from abuse of power and malicious retaliation, then his resistance is understandable."

In his words, Luo Lie's tone was low, his gaze fixed coldly on Wang Zhengchuan.

Luo Lie knew exactly who Lu Yu was.

He was a key observation target for the Shadow Sword Organization, as well as a major recruitment target!

To recruit Lu Yu into Shadow Sword, the person in charge, Qin Ge, had traveled from the Capital to Lin'an to persuade him, refusing to give up even after rejection, showing how much Shadow Sword valued Lu Yu!

Moreover, Lu Yu's strength was incredibly terrifying. He single-handedly eliminated Gu Yanzhou, an act that itself represents terror. Angering Lu Yu would bring unimaginable consequences!

"Luo Lie!"

Upon hearing Luo Lie's words, Wang Zhengchuan coldly replied, "Don't overstep your bounds. Remember, this is the Ministry of State Security's territory. You're only affiliated here; what right do you have to boss me around?"

At this moment, knowing he couldn't reveal more without exposing himself, Wang Zhengchuan simply flipped out, waved his arm grandly, and ordered, "Arrest him!"

"Don't you dare!"

As Wang Zhengchuan spoke, Luo Lie drew a silver gun from his waist and pressed it against Wang Zhengchuan's forehead, saying, "If you dare let your subordinates act, I'll kill you right now!"

Buzz!

Seeing the scene before them, everyone around froze. They never expected things to escalate to this confrontational level!

All because of Lu Yu, Luo Lie from the Shadow Sword Organization was willing to draw his gun against Wang Zhengchuan!

Seeing the scene unfold, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. He watched with great interest, filled with amusement.

He was curious to see what would happen next.
