"Hey, let me go!"
Liu Sixue immediately resisted upon hearing Li Yang's words.
She didn't want this matter to spread throughout the entire sect, as it would be her losing face.
Moreover, the incident she was investigating today turned out to be a false alarm. If the higher-ups were to blame her, it would also have a negative impact on her.
"Captain, I think you should apologize to them. Otherwise, if he really escalates the matter, it will be difficult for us to handle," one of her subordinates said, walking up to Liu Sixue.
"Alright, I apologize to you!"
After thinking for a moment, Liu Sixue finally followed her subordinate's advice and said to Li Yang sternly, "I was too impulsive just now. I'm truly sorry. I hope your company can forgive us."
Li Yang put on an innocent smile and said cheerfully, "Seeing your sincerity, we'll let this matter go. However, Tianyu Gambling Stone Market framed us. You must investigate thoroughly and severely punish them."
"Rest assured, we handle matters justly. We will not let any bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong any good person."
After Liu Sixue finished speaking coldly, she turned and left with her subordinates.
After they left, Shui Xiang couldn't help but walk over to Li Yang with a smile and said, "Li Yang, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You actually brought the evidence?"
"Did you think I wouldn't be able to do what I promised Sister Shui?"
Li Yang raised his eyebrows and looked back at the pile of stones in the warehouse, saying, "These stones are of no use to us now. Just have them cleared away. With the evidence I provided just now, Gui Bunian will have plenty to deal with."
"If he dares to deny the charges and deliberately frame us, he will be offending the Huang family. He wouldn't dare even with ten times the courage."
"You're still the smart one. You performed so well today. What reward would you like?" Shui Xiang suddenly leaned closer to Li Yang, placing a hand lightly on his chest and slowly moving it downwards.
"Sister Shui, it's early in the morning. You don't want it already, do you? There are many people here. We can have a romantic time back in the office."
Li Yang precisely grasped Shui Xiang's slender waist and then returned to the office with her.
As the door closed, the two of them began an unrestrained battle in the office. From the desk to the sofa, and then to the floor, Shui Xiang was completely immersed in Li Yang's passionate love, unable to extricate herself.
"You little devil, you always bring me different surprises. I feel so good. Li Yang, do it again!"
Shui Xiang bit her lip, trembling all over as she urged Li Yang on.
Li Yang lifted Shui Xiang's jade legs, gently sniffing her fragrance, and said, "Who told you, Sister Shui, that you are so alluring? I can't help but feel the urge every time I see you."
"You wicked man!"
Shui Xiang tightly gripped Li Yang's shoulders. Under Li Yang's frenzy, she felt as if she was about to faint.
Meanwhile, the market team members who had left the Fuhao Gambling Stone Market returned to their team and began a joint, thorough investigation of Tianyu Gambling Stone Market.
Half an hour later, a subordinate delivered the investigation results to Liu Sixue: "Captain Liu, we've found out. The stones we investigated today did indeed flow out from Tianyu Gambling Stone Market."
"Gui Bunian transferred the stones three times before they finally reached the Huang family. And Boss Huang delivered this batch of stones to Fuhao Gambling Stone Market last night."
"It seems that kid was telling the truth!"
Liu Sixue's eyes were stern. She had initially held out hope that if Li Yang was lying, she would arrest him and teach him a harsh lesson.
But now that his words had been verified as true, she had no way to arrest him.
"Immediately contact the Public Security Bureau. We will join forces with them to arrest Gui Bunian. His actions not only violate market regulations but also involve the illegal acts of fraud and framing. We absolutely cannot tolerate the development of such forces."
Upon receiving all the evidence, Liu Sixue immediately ordered her subordinate.
The subordinate immediately contacted the Public Security Bureau, treating the matter as important. That morning, they jointly raided Tianyu Gambling Stone Market.
Gui Bunian was still smug, completely unaware that his doom was approaching.
"Boss Gui, things are not looking good. Market team members came to investigate the stones from last night this morning. Have you been exposed?"
Just as Gui Bunian was relaxing in his office with his female secretary, he suddenly received a call from an intermediary, who asked seriously.
"What do you mean? The market team actually found their way to you? What did you tell them?" Gui Bunian felt something was strange. According to his plan from last night, the market team shouldn't have been able to find his intermediary without any evidence.
"I denied it at first, but I didn't expect the market team to produce our transaction receipts. I had no choice but to tell the truth and inform the market team about purchasing stones from you. I estimate the market team will find you soon."
"Boss Gui, you should run away quickly. If you're too late, it'll be impossible." The intermediary continued his report.
"What?"
Gui Bunian was greatly shocked!
He couldn't understand how the market team got the evidence. Weren't those receipts locked in his safe?
He looked down at the bottom of his desk. The safe was still there, with no signs of being opened.
"You idiot, did you misread? The evidence is with me. How could the market team get the evidence? Did you voluntarily hand over the second copy of the receipt?" Gui Bunian asked angrily.
Each transaction receipt had two copies, one for the buyer and one for the seller.
The intermediary said decisively, "Why would I harm myself? I burned the receipts from last night on the spot, so no one could possibly get them. Moreover, I saw it clearly today. That receipt was the main copy, the one from your side."
"Boss Gui, I also want to ask you, what exactly are you doing? How could you let the market team get such important items?"
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
Gui Bunian felt that something was wrong, so he quickly hung up the phone and personally opened the safe.
The moment he opened the safe, he was stunned. Not only were the receipts hidden inside gone, but the luminous pearl was also missing!
"Damn it, who did this? Where did my things go?" Gui Bunian finally realized that the content of the phone call might have been entirely true.
If these receipts had fallen into the hands of the market team, then it was completely over.
"Boss Gui, it's not good! Our gambling stone market has been surrounded by the Public Security Bureau," before Gui Bunian could react, a store clerk suddenly ran in from outside to report.
"What did you say?"
Gui Bunian was startled and quickly asked, "Why are the Public Security Bureau here?"
"I'm not sure. The Public Security Bureau came with the market team. It's likely a big deal," the clerk reported.
"This is terrible." Gui Bunian fell into despair.
