The room fell silent instantly.
Shen Jianyi thought the other guy was just spouting nonsense. How could anyone say such absurd things?
"Xu Wenji, are you dreaming?" She slowly approached him and quickly snatched the remote control from behind his back.
Just as Xu Wenji was about to struggle, the woman punched him. This time, Xu Wenji really lay flat on the ground. Shen Jianyi had used a great deal of force, and almost every punch was too much for him to bear.
Shen Jianyi, look. There are only two buttons on this remote. One is blue, and the other is red.
Just as she was about to reach out and press the red button, Xu Wenji frowned and let out a sneering laugh. "If you press the wrong one, the whole space will explode. By then, it'll be impossible for your companions to come back alive."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi showed no sign of fear. Instead, she reached out and pressed the red switch.
The floor stopped rotating, and all the rooms returned to their original positions. The door appeared again, and a man pushed it open and walked in.
Xu Wenji turned his head away. As expected, nothing could deceive Shen Jianyi. She was always so bold and reckless.
Shen Jianyi casually threw the remote control on the ground. She stared at the other guy expressionlessly. "Xu Wenji, your tricks won't work on me. I won't believe you."
No matter how chaotic Mandola Sea was, it was absolutely impossible for him to hide a bomb in the room, especially the room where Gun was.
There was no need to guess. It must be Xu Wenji trying to scare her. Shen Jianyi squatted down. Facing Xu Wenji's nonchalant attitude, she grabbed the collar of his clothes and lifted him up, forcing him to look at her.
Xu Wenji was sweating profusely at this moment. He didn't look relaxed at all. He wanted to escape from here quickly, but there was nothing he could do.
"I've given you countless opportunities, but you never cherish them." Shen Jianyi's other hand began to search his body, trying to steal the chip.
Just as Shen Jianyi felt something in the shape of a chip in the man's pocket and was about to take it out, the window in front of them was suddenly shattered by something. Glass shards were scattered in the wind.
Just as Shen Jianyi was about to dodge, Gun pulled her into his arms.
She looked up and saw that not only glass shards but also many blades had fallen to the ground. If they had been careless and failed to dodge, it might have been Gun lying there now.
Xu Wenji lay silently on the ground. It seemed that he had been stabbed by a knife.
Shen Jianyi pushed the man away. Just as she was about to step forward to check if it was true, many black - clothed men walked out of the opposite door.
These black - clothed men were holding weapons that their daggers couldn't match.
One of them, wearing a bulletproof vest, walked over. He seemed to be a decent person from Mandola Sea.
"Raise your hands! Don't move!"
Shen Jianyi really didn't expect that this matter would even attract them.
The two of them didn't struggle. Not to mention how convenient the weapons in the opponents' hands were, there were so many of them. Even if they struggled, they wouldn't get any benefits.
So, the two of them were taken away by this group of black - clothed men.
On the way out of the auction hall, Shen Jianyi didn't show the slightest sign of nervousness. Instead, she was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.
There was a distance between the two of them, like a galaxy separating them.
But this didn't matter to Shen Jianyi. She turned her head and saw that Gun wasn't angry either. Like herself, he didn't show much emotion.
"Gun, don't you hate me?"
Because of Shen Jianyi, Gun had been captured. Once someone was taken to the police station here, it would be extremely difficult to get out.
Shen Jianyi wasn't nervous because she already had a plan in mind, but Gun knew nothing at this moment. He didn't even know what was about to happen to them.
Gun replied in a calm tone, "Why should I hate you? This was originally an event that you and I participated in together. Not only us, but also all the people who attended the banquet."
"What do you mean?"
Before hearing Gun's words, Shen Jianyi always thought that they had been arrested as criminals because they had hurt Xu Wenji. But now, she was told that it was because of the banquet.
Just as Shen Jianyi was about to ask something else, the policeman beside her lowered his voice and said seriously, "Be quiet! Don't talk!"
Before she could figure out what was going on, Shen Jianyi was pushed into another car. The two were separated.
Inside the car.
Shen Jianyi sat quietly in the back seat. Looking at the policeman sitting beside her, she asked in confusion, "Why are you arresting me?"
The policeman turned his head and sized up the woman. The mask on her face made it impossible to see her appearance. Of course, the policeman didn't have the right to take off the mask yet.
He said in an extremely cold tone, "You know exactly what you've done. Do I need to explain it to you?"
Shen Jianyi shrugged. "I don't think I've done anything."
This was the most self - unaware person he had ever arrested. On the surface, this banquet seemed to be a gathering of the rich and noble, but in fact, it was a large - scale illegal transaction. This auction wasn't approved.
So, all the money traded here could be regarded as dirty money. Although the law and order here was not well - managed, they still had to take this kind of large - scale illegal transaction seriously.
Moreover, not long ago, the higher - ups had issued an order to severely rectify Mandola Sea and carry out a mine - clearing operation here. They just happened to have stepped on a landmine.
The police car finally stopped at the police station. Shen Jianyi was forced to get out of the car. As soon as she got out, she saw Gun being taken out too. The two of them smiled at each other and then were taken into the station.
As soon as they entered, Shen Jianyi saw row after row of people sitting there, enjoying treatment that suspects shouldn't have. They also just found a random place to sit down.
Xia Liang, who was sitting in front of them, had wanted to say something for a long time. Bringing them here was actually just for a simple education. Of course, if it involved the real people who had paid money, it wouldn't be that simple.
Shen Jianyi had thought that she could leave after just listening to a lecture here for a while, but unexpectedly, Lan Xi suddenly raised her hand and stood up.
Under everyone's gaze, Lan Xi slowly walked forward. Although she was scared when facing the police, she forced herself to suppress that feeling.
Her voice even trembled involuntarily. "I want to report her. It was her who finally bid for the chip. I don't know if she paid the money." Lan Xi pointed at Shen Jianyi and exposed her without hesitation.
