Chapter 171 - 131: A Counter to Arrogance
The swordsmen immediately encircled.
Ji Xinghuo’s figure flashed, and in a blink, he was out of the encirclement, appearing right in front of Yan Xiao, only three steps away, within arm’s reach.
"Captain Yan, under what crime am I to be arrested?" Ji Xinghuo asked coldly.
Yan Xiao looked at Ji Xinghuo, who was close at hand, and his eyelids twitched slightly. Of course, he recognized the Flash Step, but Ji Xinghuo’s Flash Step had actually covered such a long distance, more than eight meters!
His green pupils went back to being cold and cruel, "This is Director Zhou’s order."
"It doesn’t matter whose order it is, I just want to know, under what crime am I being arrested? Do you have an arrest warrant?" Ji Xinghuo didn’t fall for that trick.
Even though he had signed a contract with the Sword Bureau and hadn’t shown up for work for a single day, at most it could be considered non-fulfillment of duty. It hadn’t caused any loss to the nation, nor had he taken any benefits from the Sword Bureau. It was far from reaching the point of violating the law, let alone being arrested.
The most severe penalty would be for the Sword Bureau to fire him and reclaim the salary that was deposited into his account each month.
If that were the case, he couldn’t ask for more.
However, from his conversation with Min Chongwu just now, Ji Xinghuo could tell that Zhou Yishang evidently didn’t mean to do that; he still insisted on Ji Xinghuo staying in the Sword Bureau.
