He stood up and followed his wife downstairs.

Seeing Wu Jingzhong and his entourage slowly walking down the large spiral staircase, the law enforcement officers brought more than a dozen people to block his way. He clearly could not see that the people behind the Wu family were Li Heyi and his wife. The police officer said loudly, “Mr. Wu Jingzhong, we suspect that you have something to do with a case of the executive hall’s network being hacked. Please have you and your family come with us.”

Even though the news of Wu Jingzhong being framed had spread around the executive hall a few days ago, the public did not know that. They just thought that he had been released from questioning.

Now that they were hearing that the Wu family had hacked into the executive hall’s network and that the people from the Ministry of Justice were coming to arrest them, the guests were instantly dumbfounded.

Would anything happen to the Wu family?

Would they be hated for coming to the Wu family’s banquet today?

Especially those who knew a little bit of the inside story. They were grasping at even more straws. Could it be that Wu Jingzhong had gotten himself out but dragged Lan Weisong in? Was the Shi family coming to cause trouble for the Wu family now?

The shocking words of these officers made many of the guests want to leave.

Faced with the law enforcement officer’s aggression, Wu Jingzhong was unfazed. He asked with a smile, “You said that you’re from the Ministry of Justice?”

“Yes.”

“Please show me your documents.”

“Is Governor Wu doubting me?”

Wu Jingzhong smiled slightly. “I wouldn’t dare. But you guys have come from the Ministry of Justice to arrest me personally. Don’t you need to show me your documents? After all, as you all have seen, today was supposed to be a great day for the Wu family. If some idiots attempt to sabotage it, how will the Wu family answer to so many guests?”

“Governor Wu dared to hack the executive hall’s network, and now he dares to do this. It seems he is indeed fearless.” After saying that, the officer pulled his work certificate from his clothes.

“I’m Guo Langming, the director of the Fifth Department of the Ministry of Justice. We suspect that you and the Wu family are related to a case of the executive hall’s network being hacked. Please cooperate with the investigation and come with us.”

Wu Jingzhong still refused to leave. He smiled and said, “But I remember that the president released me from the Ministry of Justice. After that, he specifically called me and praised my contributions to Sea District. He even said that he would protect me and other people like me in the future. Do you mean do say that the president’s words meant nothing? Or do I have a misunderstanding of how the Ministry of Justice works? make people like me bleed and cry. “Why is it that the president’s words are useless? Or is it that I have some misunderstanding about the judicial court? Can you guys ignore the president’s words now?”

“Mr. Wu Jingzhong, I am a member of the Ministry of Justice. I have reason to suspect that you and the Wu family are involved in this hacking case. The president let you out because you did not know about the construction of that road. You’re innocent on that charge. But that only means that you didn’t build that road. It doesn’t mean that you’re innocent in this case too. So, please don’t try to use the president’s words here.”

Wu Jingzhong still smiled and asked, “So you mean to say that Mr. President released me from the Ministry of Justice and then immediately asked you to arrest me again because these are two different cases?”

“These were always two different cases.”

“But if I’m guilty no matter what, why didn’t you keep me locked up? Why did you release me and let me clear my name before arresting me again now?”
