2195: The Banquet Was Over Now

The Banquet Was Over Now

"I'll say it! I'll say it right now. The Xiao family asked me to arrest the Wu family. I-I'm just an ordinary staff member of the Ministry of Justice. I can't possibly go against the Xiao family's wishes! I could only bite the bullet and come here. I don't have a problem with Governor Wu. Lieutenant General Chi, why don't we just let this matter go on account of Officer Li?"1

Chi Yang and Li Heyi had a close relationship, right? Li Heyi was going to participate in the presidential election, so Chi Yang would not go against his family, right?

"How dare you! Who gave you the courage to humiliate the Xiao family in public? My father, Xiao Yun, is an honest and magnanimous person. He's been serving the country and its people all his life. How can a dirty scumbag like you casually say that? I'll never forgive you if you dare accuse the Xiao family of a crime again!"

Guo Langming's heart cracked!

"Officer Li, the Xiao family really did ask me to do this. If they hadn't, why would I come here to try to capture Governor Wu, someone I don't even know? I told you that I wanted to speak in private, but you weren't willing. I-I saw that Lieutenant General Chi was going to arrest me, so I had no choice but to tell the truth."

Then, Guo Langming looked at Chi Yang and begged for mercy. "Lieutenant General Chi, there really was a misunderstanding. I know what I didn't explain properly. This matter has nothing to do with the Xiao family, it only has to do with Governor Wu's arrest. Can you please ask these policemen to go away, so I can explain everything to you slowly?"

Guo Langming hoped that Chi Yang would let him go on account of the Xiao family. Otherwise, he would have denounced the family.

Moreover, he believed that Li Heyi would definitely be willing to speak in private now.

However…

"No!" Li Heyi said sternly, "You've tarnished my father's reputation, yet you still want to speak privately? Do you think the Xiao family is a doormat you can simply trample on?"

"No..." Guo Langming looked at Li Heyi speechlessly. This man... why was he not listening? 

Li Heyi continued. "Even if this matter really was instigated by the Xiao family, it has absolutely nothing to do with my father. So, tell me and everyone here, who told you to do this? After I fact-check your claim, I can report this matter to my father and let him handle the matter."

Guo Langming, "..."

Chi Yang, who was at the side, said, "As a law enforcement officer of the Ministry of Justice, you used the power in your hands to do bad things for others and seek benefits for yourself. You didn't care about your position at all and have brought shame to the Ministry of Justice. Even if Officer Li wants to let you go, I won't!"

Guo Langming, "..." The banquet was over now!!!

"Take him away!" Chi Yang ordered the police without any further explanation.

"Wait a minute." Li Heyi stopped him.

Guo Langming's ashen face instantly turned red as he looked at him with anticipation.

"You've already tarnished the Xiao family's reputation in front of so many guests. You have to tell me in front of everyone who told you to do this."

Guo Langming, "..."

Was Li Heyi trying to force him to speak? 

Guo Langming closed his eyes. Since he was doomed, he would drag Xiao Chengan down with him! Who had asked him to do this? As long as Xiao Chengan was fine, he would be fine.

"Second Master Xiao Chengan asked me to do this!"

Xiao Yuqi then stood up and said, "Guo Langming, you have to take responsibility for what you just said."
