“Ye Chen, you’re right. I don’t feel tired at all after cultivating the Chilling Heart technique. Will I never need to sleep from now on?”
Ye Chen smiled and said, “We still have to sleep, but one or two hours a day is enough. It’s already eight o’clock, so let’s go wash up and then go downstairs for breakfast. Later, I plan to head to Jiang Dao Mountain to take a look.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
An hour later, they arrived at the hotel lobby after breakfast. To his surprise, a group of officers from Xiangjiang City were investigating something.
They were vaguely discussing that something had happened on the rooftop.
Ye Chen frowned. Just as he and Wei Ying were about to leave, the four Xiangjiang law enforcement officers noticed Ye Chen and surrounded him.
“You must be Ye Chen,” the leading middle-aged law enforcement officer said.
“I am.”
Ye Chen glanced at the four of them and found that they did not exude martial auras.
The middle-aged man showed him an ID card and said, “Mr. Ye, we are from the Xiangjiang Police Department. I saw from the surveillance camera footage that you went to the rooftop in the early hours of the morning.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed. Could it be that the Samsara Graveyard phenomena had been discovered?
“Mr. Ye, please cooperate with our investigation.”
“I was there. What’s the matter?”
Hearing Ye Chen’s admission, the middle-aged man said, “In that case, bring him back to the police station! We found a male corpse on the rooftop. The time of death coincided with the time you went to the rooftop. Please cooperate with our investigation.”
Naturally, Ye Chen would not cooperate. It was true that he had been to the rooftop, but that corpse had nothing to do with him.
Even if he had killed someone, he would not have left the corpse on the rooftop for someone to find.
This was simply nonsense!
The first thing he thought of was that someone had received instructions from Fang Zhenye and wanted to use this method to restrain him. In any case, someone was deliberately making things difficult for him.
Ye Chen glanced at the people in front of him and said, “I still have something to do today. I’ll send a lawyer to contact you.”
Then, he left the hotel with Wei Ying.
He did not want to make a move against this group of people without martial strength.
However, to Ye Chen’s surprise, he had only taken a few steps when they came at him again.
“Mr. Ye, this is an order from the higher-ups. Please cooperate. Otherwise, you’ll make things difficult for us.”
The officer’s expression was a little cold. The higher-ups had instructed that they must bring Ye Chen back no matter what.
They could even use groundless accusations.
As for the corpse on the rooftop, there was no corpse.
However, according to the surveillance footage, this kid went to the rooftop for so long in the middle of the night, so there was definitely something suspicious going on. Moreover, Ye Chen was not a local here, although they did not show any contempt on the surface, they still were more wary of him.
It was too easy for them to make up a reason to take Ye Chen away.
The higher-ups only wanted them to take Ye Chen away. They even said that this kid might use violent means. Once he made a move, they were allowed to use force to suppress him.
Ye Chen ignored them and continued to walk out with Wei Ying, who was a little scared. After all, these were law enforcement officers. It would be bad if they offended them.
She looked up at Ye Chen, wanting to say something, but in the end decided not to. She believed that Ye Chen had a plan in mind.
Just as they took a few steps, the four officers stepped forward and tried to grab Ye Chen. However, before they could touch Ye Chen, the entire hotel suddenly surged with a violent wind, and the four of them were swept away and flew backward.
“How dare you attack the police!”
One of the middle-aged men roared, and a group of armed men instantly rushed into the hotel and as long as Ye Chen dared to move, they would open fire.
All the guests and staff in the hotel were obviously shocked.
The Xiangjiang police force had never made a move here before, so what was going on?
Could it be that the boy and the girl were some heinous fugitives?
Wei Ying’s expression was a little frosty. She subconsciously grabbed Ye Chen’s clothes.
“Ye Chen.”
Ye Chen sneered in his heart. If it was just these four officers, he might have chalked it up to a coincidence, but seeing these armed men was enough to confirm that someone was deliberately targeting him.
However, the other party clearly did not know enough about him.
Although Xiangjiang City was a special administrative region of Huaxia, it did not have access to his information, which was encrypted.
Only someone with an extremely high authority level, like that person, would be able to access his files.
If it was in the past, he might have just needed to reveal his identity to resolve this situation, but seeing as he was now at loggerheads with the military, he did not have to bother resolving this amicably.
“Are you sure you want to stop me?” Ye Chen’s body surged with a strong killing intent. If he wanted to, these people would die!
The middle-aged law enforcer came up to Ye Chen and said sternly, “Not only are you a suspect in this murder case, but you’ve also assaulted police officers. We have every reason to arrest you. If you don’t cooperate, we’ll take harsher measures against you.”
“Oh.”
Ye Chen took a step forward.
Swoosh!
Just as the armed men were about to pull the trigger, a man in a suit rushed over.
“Stop!”
Hearing this voice, the law enforcement officers were a little unhappy. They glanced at the person walking over.
When the middle-aged law enforcement officer saw the face of the man who had spoken, his expression froze.
Li Yuncheng!
The son of Li Jiacheng!
The power of the Li family permeated every corner of Xiangjiang City, and their authority and power far outstripped the Xiangjiang police force!
The middle-aged law enforcement officer quickly smiled and walked toward the man.
“Mr. Li, why are you here?”
“Sigh! I just remembered that you also have shares in this hotel. I’m really sorry to disturb your business. I’ll take the suspect away immediately!”
From his perspective, it was obvious that their actions had alarmed the Li family. After all, the Li family also had a portion of shares in this building.
However, Li Yuncheng ignored the officer. Instead, he walked up to Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, I’m really sorry. I’ll handle this matter.”
Without waiting for Ye Chen’s response, Lee Yuncheng turned to the officer.
His face was cold, and he even looked a little angry!
“Mr. Ye is one of the most important guests of the Li family. No matter what, you can’t touch Mr. Ye. Also, no matter what happens, the Li family will bear all the consequences.”
“I’ll give you 10 seconds to dismiss everyone. If this matter affects Mr.. Ye’s mood, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
