Chapter 199: Lesson
Late at night, Huang Family Manor.
The Crown Prince of the Huang Family had waited all night in the study, but had not received any news from Li Yi'e.
Huang Manlou knew that Li Yi'e's mission had failed.
With a cold expression, Huang Manlou rose from his seat, walked out of the study, and was ready to go to rest.
Although the pawn Li Yi'e had failed, Huang Manlou was not worried. Li Yi'e, tight-lipped as he was, would never betray the Huang Family. His failure meant only one outcome—death.
But just then, suddenly, there were loud siren sounds outside the Huang Family Manor!
A large number of police cars sped towards the scene, surrounding the entire Huang Family Manor.
Countless investigative police officers knocked on the grand gates of the Huang Family Manor deep into the night...
...
Inside the Huang Family estate.
"Report!" A subordinate rushed to the Crown Prince, reporting with solemnity, "My Lord! A large group of police investigators suddenly arrived! They claim they need you to cooperate with an investigation, stating it's related to your case with Li Yi'e!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Manlou's gaze sharpened slightly.
Had Li Yi'e betrayed the Huang Family?
"My Lord! Cars have been prepared behind the manor, do you see... should we evacuate first? We can send people to hold off those investigative officers!" the subordinate said gravely.
Yet, Huang Manlou slowly shook his head, "What's the rush? They have no proof; they can't touch me."
Having said that, Huang Manlou unexpectedly headed directly towards the front yard.
The group of investigative officers were looking for Huang Manlou, but to their surprise, he emerged on his own?
"Huang Manlou! You are suspected of harboring Li Yi'e, the serial dismemberment murderer from ten years ago and suspected of hiring someone to commit murder! Do you admit to these crimes?" A large group of investigators stepped forward, surrounding Huang Manlou.
Huang Manlou's eyes remained calm, "I do not know that Li Yi'e, nor have I hired anyone to murder. Do you have any evidence?"
The officers interrogated him for a long time, but failed to extract any clues.
However, following procedures, the investigators still "invited" Huang Manlou back to the investigation bureau to continue the interrogation.
Meanwhile, just as Huang Manlou was being questioned at the investigation bureau...
In another part of the bureau, Li Yi'e was being held in a cell at the other end of the iron jail.
His body was bound with iron chains, held captive within the prison cell.
At the cell door, more than a dozen fully armed tactical police officers stood guard.
Li Yi'e was an A-level fugitive, so his surveillance was extremely strict.
At that moment, suddenly one of the special forces soldiers opened the cell door under the pretext of interrogating Li Yi'e.
Li Yi'e slowly lifted his head and when he saw this special forces soldier, his expression tightened.
For he saw a murderous intent in the eyes of the soldier.
In an instant, the special forces soldier fiercely pulled out a military handgun and fired mercilessly at Li Yi'e!
"Bang bang bang!" Dozens of bullets violently struck Li Yi'e!
Li Yi'e had no chance to dodge, was penetrated by the bullets, his body drenched in blood... he collapsed to the ground with a "thud!".
"Drop your weapon!!" The other tactical officers around finally reacted, charging forward swiftly, subduing the soldier who had opened fire!
But by then, Li Yi'e had already been killed.
...
Inside an interrogation room in the investigation building.
Huang Manlou sat calmly in the interrogation chair, undergoing questioning by the female detective captain Qi Muxia.
"I truly do not know Li Yi'e. If you don't believe me, you can ask him," Huang Manlou said lightly.
Qi Muxia's face was icy, as the Huang Family had been involved in organized crime for a century, having suddenly disappeared from the public eye in recent years.
The national campaign to eradicate gangs had been ongoing... In fact, Qi Muxia had wanted to take action against the Huang Family for a long time, but she was hampered by the lack of evidence and could not move recklessly.
Now that she had finally caught the opportunity to take down the Crown Prince of the Huang Family, Qi Muxia naturally did not want to let it slip.
But just then, suddenly the door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and a team member hurried forward, whispering Li Yi'e's death news to Qi Muxia.
Upon hearing her team member's report, Qi Muxia's expression changed dramatically!
Li Yi'e was dead? In the investigation building, suddenly shot by a special forces soldier?!
How could this be possible?!
Qi Muxia immediately terminated the interrogation and rushed out of the room.
Meanwhile, Huang Manlou sat leisurely in the interrogation room, as calm as a breeze.
The death of Li Yi'e was naturally orchestrated by him. He had preemptively bribed a special forces soldier as an inside traitor, instructing him to infiltrate the investigation building and assassinate Li Yi'e.
With Li Yi'e dead, there was no one to testify. This cleared Huang Manlou of the suspicion of hiring a murderer.
And the special forces soldier who had opened fire had just been apprehended... when he committed suicide by poison.
The soldier, already suffering from a terminal illness and having only a few years left to live,
had accepted a large sum of dirty money from Huang Manlou for the sake of his wife and family's future, then he took his own life after completing the assassination.
Everything died with the witnesses, leading no trace back to Huang Manlou.
Huang Manlou was held at the investigation building for 12 hours... and by the next morning, he was released as innocent.
As he was released, hundreds of cars from the Huang Family fleet had already filled the space outside the investigation building to welcome him.
Huang Manlou lit a cigar and climbed into the car.
"It's time to teach the Su Family a lesson," he said slowly to his female secretary after getting into the car.
Upon hearing this, the female secretary's eyes sharpened, and she respectfully responded, "Understood!"
