Chapter 717: Chapter 447: Police! Arrest!

"Ten, nine, eight..."

Xu Liang aimed his gun at the person in front of him, his voice counting down.

Zhuge Rong’s face looked unpleasant, his eyes flickered slightly.

After a moment, he spoke in a deep voice:

"Xu Liang."

"We’ve had no grievances nor hatred in the past, why are you so determined to catch me now!?"

"What’s wrong with the Cross Group? It has money, power, and influence!"

"Trust me, you’re currently restricted by Eastern Country. If you join the Cross Group and expand the business overseas... you’ll see, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in this world!"

Zhuge Rong spoke angrily, opening his arms wide, his expression appearing agitated.

He never imagined he would be forced into such a situation one day.

Especially by someone who had no direct conflict with him!

Just because of Zhao Jie.

Just because of a filthy prostitute!

"Because of this kind of slut, do you know what you’re giving up!?"

Zhuge Rong’s chest was filled with rage, he angrily questioned the person in front of him.

Beside him, Zhao Feng looked at the dark barrel of the gun, his face trembling with fear, raising his hand repeatedly, he spoke:

"Don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil!"

"President Zhe, let’s talk, let’s talk this out!"

Zhuge Rong indeed ignored him completely, his shadowy eyes staring at Xu Liang right down the gun barrel.

He knew the other side wouldn’t shoot.

Xu Liang would only arrest him legally, rather than resorting to such a ridiculous act.

Indeed, that’s how it was.

"Swoosh~"

Xu Liang spun the gun around on his finger, he holstered it, glancing at those who were crumpled on the ground, either dead or wounded.

Then he spoke coolly:

"The ship has stopped. If I’m not mistaken, it’s been intercepted."

He didn’t answer Zhuge Rong’s question, instead, he looked up at the clock on the wall.

"If nothing unexpected happens."

"Currently, the Cross Group members on the ship should have received the news, most likely thinking about how to escape."

"The help you’re expecting isn’t going to show up."

"Let me give you two new options."

"One, come down with me, find the police and report everything that’s happened on the ship, leaving nothing out."

"Two..."

Xu Liang paused, took a deep breath, the bloodied clothes stretching as he did.

"I’ll go down myself and bring the police up."

Here isn’t the mainland, escaping isn’t an option.

Unless you muddle through and hide somewhere on the ship, or disguise as a regular tourist to mislead others.

But with Xu Liang keeping a close eye on him... Zhuge Rong can’t hide or pretend, so currently, the best route seems to be finding the police.

"Are you really going to make things this harsh!?"

Zhuge Rong’s eyes filled with blood, his hands clenched tight, nails digging into his palms.

He whispered:

"Let me go."

"If you let me go, I can bring you unimaginable wealth!"

"Do you know what the system is overseas? If we go overseas together... you can rise instantly!"

A seductive voice kept whispering into his ears.

But Xu Liang remained unmoved.

He stared at Zhuge Rong for a while, then suddenly said:

"Do you know, what’s the most important thing to me between us?"

He wasn’t in a hurry.

Even if the police investigated little by little, they would eventually reach this level, the other side was already a caged bird and couldn’t escape his grasp.

Zhuge Rong stared at Xu Liang’s eyes for a long time, then said:

"Money?"

According to his investigations.

The reason Xu Liang took on Zhao Jie’s case was that he accepted money from a lawyer named Li Tao.

Additionally, to access money-making channels, he approached the Upper City Law Firm, eventually accepting Zhao Jie’s case.

Looking at the entire operation line, his core purpose was simply ’money’!

"No, no, no."

Xu Liang shook his head.

"Then what is it?"

Zhuge Rong furrowed his brows, guessing again, "Reputation!?"

From Xu Liang’s records, he was known to greatly value his reputation, dealing with cases from Hanhai City to now, often charging nothing, sometimes even going out of pocket.

Consequently, his public reputation was excellent!

To what extent?

To the point where the Upper City Law Firm was forced to target him together!

"Not quite."

Xu Liang shook his head again, then decided not to tease him any longer.

Honestly, he felt very angry.

Even though he seemed like a scoundrel, fought cases like a scoundrel, and even skirted legal boundaries in private, he just wanted to litigate honestly!

But unfortunately, there are too many ’Zhuge Rongs’ in this world.

So many that he couldn’t accomplish anything without using rare tactics.

And he’s naturally someone who likes to play by the rules, he only wants the other party to die so he can proceed legally with the litigation, hence...

Xu Liang said:

"Neither money nor reputation matters, and you don’t matter either, but... without you, that’s very important to me!"

As soon as the words fell.

Zhuge Rong was suddenly choked, his lips moved, yet no words came out, he simply clenched his fists tighter.

"Alright, don’t bother pleading with me anymore, just wait here peacefully."

Xu Liang didn’t waste further words with him, looked at the scattered corpses on the ground, then stepped out.

"I’ll go bring the police to get you."

"It’s the New Year, don’t plan on leaving... go back and spend it in Eastern Country."

With that.

He turned and walked out, exposing his back completely to Zhuge Rong’s view.

Zhuge Rong’s eyes flickered, his chest filled with rage, veins bulging on his forehead.

His gaze suddenly shifted to the ground.

Just then...

Among the corpses, the one that Xu Liang had shot, John, was leaning against the wall, life or death uncertain, though that wasn’t important.
