the next day.
Crescent City, Bay Area.
Around noon, Jiang Yanming and his group met up with Finch Soker and others.
After a thorough inspection by many people, everyone entered the hotel conference room and took their seats.
Jiang Yanming sat in the main seat, while Finch, Ellen, Lucy, and others sat in order on the right side of the long table, and Leng Tong, Wang Chen, and Eric sat on the left side of the long table.
After everyone was seated, Jiang Yanming tapped the table lightly to attract everyone's attention before speaking: "I invited you all here today to investigate the case of Li Ang's car accident."
"Where does Young Master Jiang intend to start?" Finch asked.
"After investigation, Farlock of the Carter family is the prime suspect and is connected to the mysterious 'World Club'," Jiang Yanming said, looking at everyone.
He noticed that everyone's expressions changed to varying degrees after hearing the name "World Club," indicating that they were familiar with the club.
"Then let's investigate according to Young Master Jiang's wishes." Finch paused for a moment before asking, "But there's a problem: what identity should we use to conduct the investigation?"
Finch originally wanted to tell Jiang Yanming that it was best not to investigate the "World Club", but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
Because Jiang Yanming's stance differed from his own, and as Mr. Jiang's son, Jiang Yanming had the right to arbitrarily investigate the "World Club," he did not believe he could successfully dissuade him.
Lucy then spoke up: "Jiang, not only does the Four Nations Alliance have a World Club, but the Holy Alliance does as well, and its official members are members of the major core families."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Yanming nodded upon hearing this.
This world club, which didn't exist in his memory, was indeed extraordinary, as it could gather members from various core families.
but!
Jiang Yanming didn't care. Even if he recruited members from various core families, so what? He was a citizen of Shenwu Kingdom and the young leader of the Great River Alliance. He wasn't afraid of this powerful World Club at all.
"I've decided to arrest and question him on suspicion of collusion between Farok and the anti-divine forces of the Holy Alliance," Jiang Yanming stated firmly. "As for his identity, Mr. Finch, do you think it's feasible for us to make the arrest under the name of the Special Affairs Bureau?"
"No problem." Finch replied immediately when Jiang Yanming didn't mention the World Club. "I will coordinate with the Special Affairs Bureau. If it involves the Holy Alliance, the Special Affairs Bureau has the right to intervene."
"Leng Tong, you will go with Mr. Finch's men to capture Falco," Jiang Yanming instructed, handing Leng Tong a paper document.
"Yes," Leng Tong replied, taking the documents.
"Mr. Finch, I need you to send someone to help me, is that alright?" Jiang Yanming asked.
"No problem." Finch nodded in agreement, then frowned slightly and asked, "Where will we detain Farok after we capture him?"
"The family owns an unused villa in the Long Bay neighborhood of the Bay Area," Lucy continued. "That villa is by the sea, and there are only two other villas adjacent to it. It's a place where people can be imprisoned."
"Thank you." Jiang Yanming smiled and nodded at Lucy, then looked at everyone and said, "That villa is very suitable. Even if someone tries to forcibly rescue Farok and a firefight breaks out, ordinary people will not be harmed."
"Okay." Finch did not object.
"Let's go. Once we capture Farok, head straight to the detention location. I'll send you the address later," Jiang Yanming instructed.
"Yes." Leng Tong nodded.
Finch then instructed his men to assist him, and then watched as Leng Tong led his group away.
Jiang Yanming and the others then set off for the villas in the Changwan neighborhood near the sea.
Long Bay neighborhood faces Long Island neighborhood, the safest neighborhood in Crescent City, across the sea, with a straight-line distance of about five kilometers between them.
When Jiang Yanming and his group arrived at the villa by car, members of the Green family had been waiting for them for some time.
The villa complex covers a large area, with only two villas on the seaside being relatively close to each other; the rest of the villas are at least separated by a wide street.
As soon as the group got out of the car, a bodyguard in black stepped forward to report: "Miss, the villa has been inspected and no safety hazards were found."
"Okay." Lucy nodded slightly, then turned to Jiang Yanming and the others and said, "You can go in now."
"Let's go." Jiang Yanming didn't stand on ceremony and took the lead in entering the villa with Lucy.
……
the other side.
Peter City, main building of the military-industrial technology park.
In the chairman's office on the top floor, an elderly man dressed in luxurious clothes sat at his desk making a phone call, exuding an air of authority in every word and action.
A blond young man stood in the corner of the office, receiving a phone call from his younger brother.
"The Special Affairs Bureau... has several Shenwu Kingdom citizens mixed in?" The blond youth frowned slightly. "I understand. Don't resist, just go with them... Don't worry, I'll report to my grandfather immediately."
After hanging up the phone, the blond youth sighed inwardly, "This day has finally come..."
"Ethan," came the old man's authoritative voice.
"Here!" Ethan, the blond youth, responded loudly upon hearing this, and ran to the desk.
"You received the message?" the old man asked calmly.
"What do you mean?" Ethan asked cautiously.
"Your brother, Farlock, has been approached by the Secret Service," the old man said calmly.
"I just received a call from him. He said that among the people looking for the Special Affairs Bureau, there are quite a few people from the Divine Martial Kingdom mixed in..." Ethan replied.
"What did you answer him?" the old man asked.
"I told him not to resist and to go with the Secret Service agents first," Ethan said, bowing his head.
"A wise choice," the old man said calmly. "I received information that your brother was targeted for arrest by Jiang Shao, the leader of the alliance who is on good terms with Li Ang, on suspicion of colluding with the anti-divine martial forces of the Holy Alliance."
Ethan frowned slightly and said, "Grandfather, this is slandering my Carter family."
"Is this slander?" The old man's eyes were icy cold. "Your brother has no connection with the 'World Club'? Wasn't it your brother who did it? And he even used your people to do it!"
Upon hearing this, Ethan lowered his head, not daring to meet his grandfather's gaze.
His grandfather had too much control over the family, and as the heir, he had very little power without his grandfather's authorization.
Moreover, the very few people he could trust were handpicked by himself, and he had previously suspected that some of them were people arranged by his grandfather.
In retrospect, his suspicions were correct; his grandfather had indeed planted people among his trusted confidants.
"Ethan, you are a qualified heir, but your indulgence of your brother has already harmed the family's interests!"
The old man asked coldly, "Do you know how important Li Ang is to the family? His father is a top expert in the Divine Martial Kingdom, with strength close to that of an eighth-level cyborg, but he is not affected by any electronic pulse interference."
"In order to maintain my relationship with Li Kun, I did not hesitate to let him take away the latest military technology products. The electronic pulse rockets that flowed into the mercenary market of the Northern Continent were those he took away."
The old man said coldly, "And your foolish brother actually dared to attack Li Ang without authorization!"
