193: Chapter 193 These bastards deserve to die! Bury them alive!

Three burly SWAT Team members immediately stepped forward.

They worked together to grab the heavy coffin lid and pushed it forcefully to the side.

"Creak."

The coffin lid was pushed more than halfway open.

Fresh air immediately rushed in.

Zhao Xiaoxue lay inside, her face purple from holding her breath.

She was gasping heavily, her chest heaving violently.

Seeing the SWAT Team members in police uniforms, tears burst from her eyes.

Then, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out completely.

Several SWAT Team members immediately jumped into the coffin, drew their daggers to cut the hemp ropes binding her, and carefully lifted her out.

Su Yun looked at the system panel.

The red countdown had completely disappeared.

In its place was a green mission completion prompt.

He let out a long breath.

He finally made it in time.

If he had been half a minute later, this girl would have been done for.

After a few seconds of silence, the livestream's chat exploded.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"

"That was too close! Just one second away!"

"I forgot to breathe just now, I'm gasping for air now!"

"These animals are truly damned! Burying someone alive!"

"Captain Lu, well done! Using the flashbang directly was so satisfying!"

"This Wang Yi is truly not a human being, to actually commit such a conscience-less act!"

In the tomb hall.

Wang Yi looked at the rescued Zhao Xiaoxue, his face turning deathly pale.

He knew that it was completely over for him now.

Two SWAT Team members stepped forward and twisted Wang Yi's hands behind his back.

"Behave!"

The SWAT Team member pressed down hard, slamming Wang Yi onto the ground.

Half of his face was pressed tightly against the hard blue bricks, covered in dust and moss.

Lu Sen walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Boss Wang, you've got quite a lot of nerve."

"You dare to use live people for burial in my jurisdiction?"

"What era do you think this is? You're still playing these feudal, man-eating superstitious tricks?"

"You can spend the rest of your life in prison."

Wang Yi struggled desperately to lift his head.

He stared fixedly at Lu Sen, his eyes filled with unwillingness and madness.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted through gritted teeth.

"Arresting me is useless!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"I'm telling you, I have connections up top!"

Lu Sen watched him coldly and walked over with handcuffs in hand.

"Cut the crap, behave."

Instead of being afraid, Wang Yi laughed wantonly.

The sound echoed back and forth in the underground tomb, sounding very jarring.

"Liu Jianguo, the Executive Vice Mayor of Yunzhou City, is my sworn brother!"

"Zhang Dahai, the Deputy Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, takes two million from me every month!"

"Director Li of the Urban Construction Bureau, I bought his son's villa overseas!"

"President Wang of the Municipal Intermediate Court, I covered all his grandson's expenses for studying abroad!"

He reeled off more than a dozen names in one breath.

Every single name was a prominent figure in Yunzhou City.

Every position was enough to make people gasp for air.

The SWAT Team members in the tomb stopped their movements.

Everyone looked at each other.

Their hands holding the riot shields were slightly unsteady.

The weight behind these names was too heavy.

This was no longer just an ordinary organized crime case; this was poking a hole in the sky of Yunzhou City.

Wang Yi saw Lu Sen's reaction, and the expression on his face became even more arrogant.

"Captain Lu, you're just a small Criminal Investigation Team Captain."

"What do you have to fight me with?"

"I advise you to take these handcuffs off me right now."

"And get your men out of Qinglong Mountain."

"I can pretend tonight's events never happened."

"Otherwise, your entire team will have to be buried with me!"

Lu Sen's hand holding the handcuffs stopped in mid-air.

He wasn't afraid.

He was weighing the pros and cons.

Wang Yi was right.

If these people were truly colluding, a Criminal Investigation Team Captain like him couldn't withstand it at all.

Even if he dragged Wang Yi back today, Zhang Dahai could easily find an excuse to release him tomorrow.

He might even bite back, accusing him of violent law enforcement and abuse of power.

By then, not only would the case fail, but he would also be dragged down himself.

This was reality.

This was the power of local protectionism.

Lu Sen gritted his teeth.

His gaze turned to the mobile phone screen held by a SWAT Team member.

On the screen, Su Yun was sitting in front of his computer, his expression unchanged.

Lu Sen spoke to the screen.

"Master Su, this old fox has too strong of a trump card."

"I can take him away today."

"But tomorrow, he might just walk out strutting."

"This case cannot be handled in Yunzhou."

The eight million viewers in the livestream heard this, and the chat exploded.

"Holy shit! This is too arrogant!"

"Reporting the names of his protectors in front of the SWAT Team? Is there any law left!"

"Listen to these big shots, Vice Mayor, Deputy Director! The sky in Yunzhou must be black!"

"Captain Lu, don't you dare back down! Handcuff him and take him back!"

"What's the point of taking him back? He has people up top; he'll be released in minutes!"

"This old thing is disgusting, is there really no way to deal with him?"

"Master Su! Please think of something! Can't let this old animal get away!"

Su Yun sat in his gaming chair.

He looked at Wang Yi's arrogant face on the screen and tapped his fingers on the desk twice.

"You have people up top, right?"

"Fine."

"Today, I'll show you what it means when no one up top can save you."

Su Yun immediately woke the system in his mind.

"System, retrieve all transaction ledgers and bribery records of Wang Yi from the past fifteen years."

The system panel immediately unfolded before Su Yun's eyes.

On the light blue screen, countless data began to scroll wildly.

Rows of transfer records, encrypted files, and segments of surveillance footage.

All were forcibly extracted by the system from Wang Yi's most secret private server.

In less than three seconds.

The system prompt sounded.

"[Ding! Data retrieval complete.]"

"[Target: Wang Yi. Total bribery amount over the past fifteen years reached 3.2 billion.]"

"[Involving a total of 147 officials at various levels in Yunzhou City and the province.]"

"[Involving nine murder cases, all covered up by relevant personnel using their authority.]"

Su Yun looked at this fifty-page long electronic list.

He gripped the mouse directly.

He clicked on the screen sharing function of the livestream platform.

"Captain Lu, let Boss Wang see the screen."

"And by the way, let all the viewers on the internet open their eyes."

"See just how black the sky of Yunzhou City really is."

The next second.

The screen in the livestream that originally showed Su Yun's face disappeared.

In its place was a dense electronic document.

On the first page of the document, four large characters were written: Wang Yi's Ledger.

Eight million viewers stared at the screen, their eyes wide open.

The chat paused for two seconds, then began to scroll at a crazy speed.

"Holy shit! What is this?"

"A ledger! Master Su has dug out this old thing's bribery ledger!"

"Awesome! So fucking awesome! Going straight for the ultimate!"

"Quick, screenshot! Quick, screen record! This is a nuclear-level revelation!"

Su Yun scrolled the mouse wheel to the second page.

The name of the first person was clearly listed on it.

"Executive Vice Mayor of Yunzhou City, Liu Jianguo."

"In April 2018, he accepted five million in cash from Wang Yi to help Wang Yi secure that plot of land in the west of the city."

"In July 2019, he accepted a transfer of twenty million from Wang Yi's overseas account to help Wang Yi's son settle a case of drunk driving and killing someone."

"Liu Jianguo's overseas bank account number is: 654987321."

Su Yun's voice was transmitted to the underground tomb through the microphone.

"Boss Wang, this is the account of your sworn brother."

"Did I read that right?"
