"I am Dongfang Jian, how dare you arrest ? Let out imdiately."
Dongfang Jian was like a lion trapped in a cage, only able to roar to announce his inner anger and panic.
Yet, even if he scread with all his might, no one would co to see him.
He sat in despair on the ground.
If it weren’t for the conclusive evidence, the other party wouldn’t dare to arrest him just like that, as no one could bear the consequences.
Perhaps he had already fallen into the trap set by the other party without knowing it, while he was smugly thinking how flawless his plan was. He was truly too stupid.
He should have reacted when Yiyi went missing, but he was blinded by ambition and desire, leading to this point.
Now, he could only pin his hopes on Yiyi, though Yiyi wasn’t as smart as Dongfang Yi. He hoped Yiyi would act cautiously.
A sound of light footsteps approached.
A shadow lood over.
He looked up and saw a man’s resolute and cold face.
"Bring Duan Tiande to see ." He said harshly.
The man smirked, "The chief is very busy, no ti to see you."
"Yan Song, I admit I fell into your hands this ti, but the outco is still uncertain."
"Is that so? Then I’ll wait and see." Yan Song’s gaze turned cold, and he waved his hand, ordering, "Take him away."
Imdiately, two people ca out, opened the prison door, and escorted the handcuffed Dongfang Jian out.
"Let go of , I’ll walk myself." Dongfang Jian shrugged, freeing himself from their grip, and held his head high and his chest out.
Even in defeat, he would lose with dignity.
Yan Song sneered and turned away first.
Dongfang Jian was taken to an interrogation room. The room had no windows, was pitch black all around, and was empty except for a table and a chair. He was forced to sit on the chair with his hands cuffed to the armrests, unable to move.
The surrounding silence was so deep that a pin drop could be heard. He could almost hear his own heartbeat. The darkness... seed like a giant beast that could devour one’s soul.
In this prolonged silence, his spirit began to crumble.
Just as he could no longer hold on, a beam of light cast down from above, causing him to instinctively close his eyes against the dazzling glare.
"Tap tap tap." The sound of footsteps approached, like drumbeats, striking his heart.
"Old friend, long ti no see."
"Duan Tiande." He gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Young master, I’ve arranged everything. We’ll first leave the pass, and then take a boat to Singapore. The master has assets and manpower there. As they say, revenge is best served cold. Once we’ve gained strength, we can return for revenge."
The old butler of the Dongfang family earnestly advised Dongfang Yi.
Dongfang Yi shook his head, "How can I abandon my father at this ti? I must rescue him."
"Young master, don’t be foolish. In this situation, going would be a death sentence. The master wouldn’t want you to do this. Please listen to . Let’s go abroad first."
"No, I can’t leave." Dongfang Yi was stubborn, and once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.
The Butler said helplessly, "Since the young master is determined, I’ll make arrangents now."
"By the way, is there any news of my sister?" Dongfang Yi asked, frowning.
Dongfang Yi had been missing for several days with no news. The managent of the three halls was entirely in her hands, and without her, he had no authority to mobilize the halls.
The Butler took out a token, which seed to be missing half of it, handed it to Dongfang Yi, and said, "Here’s the token for the three halls. The young lady and the master jointly manage it. After she went missing, the master must have foreseen this day and entrusted with this half. Now I give it to you, hoping you’ll use it wisely and live up to the master’s expectations."
Dongfang Yi excitedly took it, realizing it was the token of the three halls.
If Dongfang Yi had chosen to go abroad, the Butler wouldn’t have given him the token. However, he chose to stay to rescue Dongfang Jian, showing loyalty, so the Butler decided to give him the token to make the most of it.
"Good, gather the manpower, rescue Father, and Butler, arrange the escape route, ensuring no mistakes."
Dongfang Yi looked at the token in his hand, a smile appearing in his eyes.

Dongfang Yi had not been comfortable these past few days. Her followers initially risked their lives to take her away but soon encountered a team chasing them. This group was formidable, with uncanny skills. To protect her, her people all died, and she eventually fled to a riverbank, forced to escape by jumping into the water.
