Chapter 944: Accomplice
Guan Lei raised his head to find Shen Xi standing guard in front of him. In such a tense moment, a sweet feeling in his heart unexpectedly brought a smile to his face.
On the opposite side, they didn’t expect anyone would dare to interfere. Immediately, a man in a black suit stepped forward, bluntly telling Shen Xi, "The National Security Bureau is conducting an investigation. Unrelated individuals should step aside, or else we’ll treat you as an accomplice."
When Guan Lei heard "National Security Bureau," his gaze shifted from Shen Xi to those people.
The involvement of the National Security Bureau indicated a serious issue.
The only possibility he could think of at the moment was the intrusion into the research lab.
Were there any other unexpected events?
Shen Xi smiled and said, "What’s this? Trying to intimidate me with the name of the National Security Bureau? If I remember correctly, the National Security Bureau must adhere to proper procedures and secure warrants when making arrests. May I see your arrest warrant? I’d like to take a look."
"You!" The man clad in black was irritated by Shen Xi’s retort but couldn’t come up with a comeback. He then angrily stated, "Guan Lei is involved in theft and selling national secrets. This is a special operation to prevent the suspect from escaping. You’re Shen Xi, right? Since you’re not leaving, then come with us. We have reasonable suspicion that you and Guan Lei are accomplices."
