Chapter 1643: You're Under Arrest

The independent farce culminated with the reoccupation of the city hall by the third track airborne brigade.

Mayor Xue and his staff, Gao Ruiming, as well as the city hall executives who survived the killers sent by the Spirit of the Universe, were taken aboard the Qinling cruiser to the Skyboat space port in the Earth and Moon system.

As the main war criminals of the war, they will be tried in the Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei urban agglomerations, the political centre of pan-Asian cooperation.

In order to urge the colonies to restore order as soon as possible, the third track airborne brigade was retained.

Municipal councils have now been taken over by administrative commissioners appointed by the Pan-Asian Cooperation, while public facilities damaged during the war have begun to be rebuilt.

And just as the administrative commissioner commissioned by Pan-Asian Cooperation investigated the city hall accounts, it was an "accident” that discovered something interesting...

That's a fund account.

As former Mayor Xue Hong explained in his confession, the South Gate II Colonial Exploration Foundation indirectly sponsored the uprising through profit delivery...

Tiangong city residential area.

The doorway to the single-family villa for the wealthy has been surrounded by heavily armed special police.

When Wang Peng rang the doorbell, Gladstone was doing morning drills in the front yard.

When he heard the doorbell, he walked to the front door and opened the door.

Gladstone's face gave a puzzling look as he stood in front of the door.

“Hello, are you…”

However, the confusion did not linger too long on his face, as the person in front of him soon revealed a hologram.

Gladstone's expression was slightly stiff looking at the badge on the card and a line of text stamped under the badge.

Obviously, he is not unfamiliar with what Wang Peng has in hand.

“Wang Peng, a security agent," retrieved his holographic ID card to his personal terminal. Wang Peng looked at Gladston and continued with no expression, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Gladston. ”

“I am also pleased to meet you... You know, nothing is more pleasant than seeing the badge of pan-Asian cooperation during this turbulent special period," Gladstone said, pretending to know nothing, "Of course, not much gossip, I'm sure you're also here with your official duties. So can I ask... what can I do for you? ”

Not talking to this guy, Wang Peng opened the door to the mountains and said, “Mr. Gladstone, don't you think there are some things you should explain? ”

“Sorry, I'm a little confused about what you mean. ”

“Don't be silly," Wang Peng continued, expressionlessly pushing a holographic screen in front of him, "this is the city hall's financial account, with a 5 billion credit point fund transferred directly from your company's account to the city hall's account through multiple transactions. This money was spent on the purchase of security equipment… you should understand what I mean. ”

Looking at the form on the holographic screen in front of him, Gladstone's face flashed an unnatural stiffness.

But soon, he hid that unnatural look behind his clever grin.

“Did they find out? In fact… we are compelled. ”

Wang Peng lifted his eyebrows and looked at him with interest, indicating that he would continue to speak.

At the center of my mind, Gladstone explained to me.

“As you know, the entire city of Tiangong is almost entirely covered by Mayor Xiao, which has intensified since he was elected mayor. Powerless businessmen like us have no choice but to face his brutal demands. I certainly don't want to pay for the City Hall debt with the investor's money if I can...”

“Powerless?” Wang Peng's eyebrows lifted gently, "Mr. Gladstone, aren't you a little too modest? ”

“Humble? No, all I said--”

“Well, stop acting, I know you are from the Spirit of the Universe Foundation,” Lazy enough to continue listening to him make up the story, Wang Peng interrupted his words, opened the door and said, “Give it to Master Lu, this is your only way of life. ”

… handed over to Master Lu?

Didn't you protect Master Lu long ago?

When he heard that, Gladstone stunned unconsciously, but soon he realized that it could be a trap.

“Sorry, I don't know what you mean...”

“I'll make you understand. ”

Wang Peng took the shot and said only one word to the special police officers behind him.

“Search.”

As soon as the voice fell, several heavily armed special police officers rushed into the house.

“Wait, what are you doing! ”

Gladstone rushed to reach out and stop, but was pushed away.

“Hey, you have no right to do this! ”

In the face of this guy's angry shouting, Wang Peng didn't even listen to him, he didn't even look at him.

Soon, the special police officers, who entered the fish, turned the house to the bottom of the sky.

Surprisingly, however, they did not find any valuable clues in Gladstone's house.

Especially his most concerned, clues about the whereabouts of Master Lu...

“Report, Master Lu is not here. ”

Wang Peng frowned and asked about the search reported by his subordinates.

“Have you seen the basement? Could there be some kind of dark door or something? ”

“We've all checked, and I can assure you, there's not a dead end missing. ”

Looking at the investigator in front of him, Wang Peng's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

The South Gate II Colonial Exploration Foundation had already searched the building, including the companies associated with them, but let alone the academicians, not even a tiny bit of his shadow.

Is it...

Was it transferred outside of Mars City?

But it's impossible...

You know, that space port in orbit is still under the control of the third orbit airborne rate. Don't say it's such a big, live man, that a fly doesn't even fly out of a colony.

Gladstone walked up and said dissatisfied as he looked at the two people who were joining him.

“I don't care about the foundations you receive or the academicians, I don't know about them! All I know is that we broke into my house without a court warrant and you messed it up... Listen, I need an explanation for what happened today! ”

Wang Peng glanced at him and was about to say something, but at this point, a security agent came with something.

It's a virtual reality helmet, quite vintage, and from the marks on the surface, it had to be handed down from grandparents.

“Report! We found this in his study. ”

When he heard it, Gladstone subconsciously looked in the direction of the man, and the moment his gaze fell on the helmet, his face instantly lost its blood.

That's the key through the conference room!

Tickets to the Spirit of the Universe High Level Meeting!

But it...

Why are you here?

Impossible, he clearly remembers hiding it in a very, very secret place. This place is in the dark grid of his office, and it's impossible to show up in his own house in any case.

What the hell is going on?

Skillfully captured the change in his face, Wang Peng's eyebrows lifted.

“Is this your thing? ”

Gladstone's face squeezed out a smile and explained rigidly.

“This is just a game helmet… I personally prefer to play games, so I have a collection of this first generation infiltration device. This stuff is not cheap, be careful..."

“I'll be careful, after all, this is important material evidence. ”

Looking at Gladstone, who was nervous, Wang Peng smiled slightly and was too lazy to listen to him again. He reached out directly to the agent.

“Give it to me. ”

After taking over the helmet, Wang Peng weighed it in his hand and then took him to his head without hesitation.

Because the action was so sudden that Gladstone couldn't even react if he wanted to stop it, he could only watch and his secrets were exposed to the sun...

Soon after, Wang Peng took off his helmet and threw it back into the agent's hands.

Wang Peng suddenly laughed when he looked up and down at Gladstone with no blood on his face for a while.

“You're under arrest. ”
