Chapter 1770: Chapter 1771: It’s the Scent of an Anesthetic

Rong Yan was looking at the scenery outside, and upon hearing this, she turned her head and raised an eyebrow, her clear eyes looking at her, seemingly puzzled, “Detention center? Director Zhou didn’t bring a detention warrant? Can a detention warrant send me to a detention center? I remember the maximum duration for a detention warrant is two days. If you can’t provide evidence within two days, you have to release me.”

This type of investigation detention warrant has a maximum validity of only 48 hours. Zhou Xia indeed had an investigation detention warrant, which means Zhou Xia could control her for a maximum of 48 hours. Without evidence, she must release her, otherwise it would be illegal detention, and Zhou Xia would be removed from her position and investigated.

“Ha, ha, Mr. Rong knows the law very well?”

“Fairly well, I know the basics, at least I won’t be fooled.”

Zhou Xia’s face was tense, and the sharp horse face lengthened even more, “Since Mr. Rong knows the law so well, why do you still break the law?”

“Where did I break the law?”

She sneered coldly in Rong Yan’s face, “Stop pretending, Mr. Rong. We have evidence of your tax evasion. Pretending is useless. Once we arrive, I’ll present the evidence before you. I hope that when the time comes, Mr. Rong can confess what you’ve done as smoothly as you do at Bright Starry Sky, so that we can all complete our tasks. You can also seek leniency in punishment.”

Rong Yan was perplexed, “Who told you I evaded taxes?”

“Don’t try to trick me, I may not be as silver-tongued as you, but I’m not a fool. I won’t reveal the informant to you, so don’t think you can use your connections to retaliate against others afterward.”

‘Use your connections to retaliate against others’ was what Rong Yan wanted to reply with a row of ellipses. Out of curiosity, she couldn’t help but ask another question, “According to you, aren’t you afraid I’ll retaliate against you afterward?”

Judging by Zhou Xia’s implication, it seemed she loved using Li Shengxiao’s connections to suppress others, so why wasn’t Zhou Xia afraid in this case?

Who knew she would snort lightly through her nose, raising her chin slightly, and declare proudly, “If I don’t go to hell, who will?”

“??”

Well, Rong Yan was sure she couldn’t communicate with her anymore.

She fell silent, but Zhou Xia took this as a sign of guilt, continuously chattering into Rong Yan’s ear.

Her words implied she already had all the evidence of Rong Yan’s illegal activities, that it was useless for Rong Yan to withhold it, and she might as well confess to seeking a mitigation of punishment.

Rong Yan was almost deafened by her chatter and could only find peace by diverting her attention to the outside of the car window.

She originally thought she would soon be taken to the police station smoothly.

Who knew a sudden hard brake would throw Rong Yan’s body sharply forward, her forehead nearly hitting the front seat.

Zhou Xia, who was next to her, fared no better, and after the abrupt tilt, she fell to the ground, apparently quite hurt. After getting up, she angrily questioned the driver, “What’s wrong with you? Can’t you drive steadily?”

“A car suddenly blocked us in front. I had to brake suddenly to avoid it.”

“What?”

“Could it be…” she quickly turned her head to look in Rong Yan’s direction, her eyes filled with suspicion, “people from the Li Group?”

Was it Li Shengxiao?

Rong Yan also froze for a moment. Just then, the car door was suddenly crashed open from the outside. Before she could see clearly who it was, a pungent smell entered her nose.

This smell…

Done for, it’s knockout gas.

Her head started buzzing immediately, her eyelids grew heavy, and she knew nothing more…
