177: Ultimate comeback

The people in the VIP room were greatly shocked.

Who had the audacity to kick down the customs door?

And with such a domineering tone?

The Councilman turned and saw a middle-aged young master in casual clothes.

Feeling suspicious, he adopted an official, by-the-book demeanor.

"Who are you? Don't you know this is a place for detaining criminal suspects? Can you bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?"

"I advise you to admit your mistake early, otherwise I'll have you arrested as an accomplice!"

The Councilman sternly reprimanded the person who had suddenly barged in.

Thinking that this man had interrupted his scheme to extort Qin Yun, his tone carried a threatening implication.

The Captain of the Inspection Team believed he was doing the righteous thing.

Moreover, with the backing of the Councilman and Kelly's family, he wasn't afraid of any threats.

"Who are you? What's your purpose?"

"You are obstructing law enforcement, do you know you'll have to bear legal responsibility?"

The Captain stepped forward, hands on his hips, adopting an overbearing and unreasonable attitude to threaten Robert.

Qin Yun saw that it was Robert who had arrived.

He wondered how Robert knew he was being detained.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief. With Robert, the head of the Overseas Intelligence Bureau, stepping in,

he and Xia Country's rare treasures would definitely be fine.

After Robert reported the intelligence from Belgium to his bureau,

thanks to the various crucial intelligence documents Qin Yun had found, he received praise from his superiors and was promoted.

Robert was in a very good mood and wanted to thank Qin Yun in person and return the items Qin Yun had asked him to ship.

When he had his subordinates investigate Qin Yun's whereabouts,

he shockingly discovered that the Borton City Customs Inspection Team had applied for an arrest warrant for Qin Yun!

Robert was greatly alarmed and rushed to Borton City airport without stopping.

He originally intended to figure out what was going on with Qin Yun before taking action.

But these two clueless clowns actually dared to provoke him.

He flew into a rage!

"What are your positions? Why dare you arrest Qin Yun without cause?"

"If you don't give me a proper explanation, I'll make you pay a heavy price!"

Robert unleashed the imposing aura he used against enemies, aggressively questioning the two.

The Councilman and the Inspection Captain were dumbfounded, not understanding where this man got the nerve to criticize their work.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and come in to detain this arrogant fellow obstructing official duties."

After pinning a label on Robert, the Inspection Captain shouted loudly towards the door.

Seeing no response from outside, he walked to the doorway to look.

Outside stood a row of Agents in FBI uniforms.

He gasped, his mind going blank, completely baffled by the situation.

"Wh-what is going on?"

The Inspection Captain was stunned. What kind of serious incident would mobilize so many Agents?

Seeing the Inspection Captain frozen at the door, the Councilman didn't understand the situation.

He walked to the door and instantly understood.

He was utterly astonished.

What on earth was the identity of this young man who had arrived?

How could he mobilize so many Agents?

And what about Qin Yun's situation?

Wasn't he just a Treasure Hunter from Xia Country? How did he know such an important figure?

"I-I was just following procedures!"

"We received reliable intelligence that Qin Yun was trying to smuggle treasures belonging to the United States back to Xia Country. As a citizen of the United States, I certainly cannot allow such a thing to happen!"

"Perhaps there's some misunderstanding?"

When he first started speaking, the Councilman was still quite apprehensive.

Thinking he was on the side of justice gave him confidence, and he began to question the other party's motives.

The FBI was troublesome, but they didn't belong to the same department.

As long as he hadn't done anything wrong, they couldn't touch him.

"The Councilman is right. After receiving the tip, I immediately detained Qin Yun and Julia. However, these two remain unyielding, acting arrogantly and refusing to cooperate with the investigation."

"I've merely detained them in the VIP room. All of this is according to procedure!"

"As the Captain of the Customs Inspection Team, I absolutely will not allow treasures belonging to the United States to flow out from the airport under my watch!"

The Inspection Captain knew things were getting difficult. He could only elevate his own motives, trying to use the banner of righteousness to pressure this man into not interfering with Qin Yun's case.

Robert glanced at Qin Yun and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Qin Yun directly opened the suitcase.

The treasures inside were displayed before everyone's eyes.

"Open your eyes wide and look! Is there a single item among the things I'm carrying that belongs to the United States?"

"All of these belong to Xia Country. What's the problem with me taking them back to my homeland?"

Qin Yun coldly questioned the two men.

He was extremely angry right now.

For no good reason, his shop was attacked, and now, trying to catch a flight back to his country, he was stopped by customs on trumped-up charges.

Seeing the items in the suitcase, Robert immediately understood the situation.

The two men must have coveted the treasures in Qin Yun's possession and were using the banner of righteousness to target him.

"These indeed do not belong to the United States. I think we should just let this matter drop. Do you have anything to say?"

As a high-ranking FBI official, Robert couldn't directly intervene to stop this behavior.

He just wanted to get Qin Yun and his treasures out of this mess.

Seeing Robert's expression soften, the Councilman and the Inspection Captain exchanged a glance, an idea forming in their minds.

"The arrest procedures for Qin Yun have already been initiated. If he leaves, I won't be able to explain it to my superiors."

"Furthermore, whether these items are American antiques or not isn't for us to decide. An Expert appraisal is required. If Qin Yun just leaves with them, I won't be able to explain it to my superiors!"

The Inspection Captain spread his hands, speaking with a look of difficulty.

He hadn't done anything illegal, so there was no need to be overly afraid of the FBI.

Besides, with so many precious treasures, the higher-ups in customs definitely wouldn't want these items to flow abroad.

"Since this involves customs, I think it would be better to hand it over to the customs higher-ups. With their professional expertise and patriotic spirit, they certainly won't wrong Qin Yun."

The Councilman also began to equivocate, trying to peel the FBI away from this matter.

Robert was furious, almost enraged to death.

He clenched his fists tightly but had nowhere to vent his anger.

These two clueless clowns were actually making a fool of him.

He was an Agent; it wasn't convenient for him to take action against two colleagues.

And these two colleagues were acting as if he didn't exist.

Robert was just about to use forceful means to take Qin Yun directly from here.

He reckoned the people here wouldn't dare defy his will.

Robert was just about to order the Agents on standby outside to come in when Qin Yun suddenly spoke up.

"My shop was attacked by armed thugs a little after 2 a.m. They even used smoke grenades when discovered. I suspect this was a terrorist attack targeting American citizens."

"I suspect this attack is related to them. It's best to investigate thoroughly to prevent other citizens from encountering such things."

Qin Yun took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat and said calmly.

His words left no room for compromise, linking these two men to the attacking thugs.

He directly dragged their status from law enforcement officers to criminal suspects.

And with a very serious charge.

Just being associated a little would completely ruin their public service careers.

The people around them were deeply shocked upon hearing Qin Yun's words.

This kid was ruthless! He wanted to drag the two who had offended him straight to hell!

The Councilman and the Inspection Captain were horrified.

If what Qin Yun said was true, and they were giving Qin Yun a hard time at this moment,

wouldn't that indicate they had countless connections to the thugs?

Something so easily verified couldn't be faked. No matter how much they wanted to distance themselves,

Robert spoke up.

"I suspect you are connected to the terrorist attack. This matter concerns national security. You must be investigated!"
