Hudson: "That's nonsense. She has the stolen property in her hands. I bought it with my own money. I have witnesses and purchase records to prove it's mine."

Seeing the situation getting worse, Simon quickly sided with his father, saying, "They stole that thing from my father more than once. They also stole it from me once before."

He Chong ignored the father and son's words. Without even looking at Simon, he turned to Hudson and asked, "So, are our scientific researchers imprisoned here by you?"

Hudson said categorically: "That doesn't exist."

The next second, Wen Li exposed the situation in English: "The person is in the basement." Wen Li then said to Huang Zhenxiong in Chinese: "Huang Zhenxiong, you and Jiang Yingbai go to the basement and bring him up."

basement?

Is there a basement in their manor that they don't know about?

The Langdons looked at each other.

He Chong directly called a few subordinates to accompany Huang Zhenxiong.

Hudson: "Wait."

The people from the Presidential Palace and the Lieutenant General of Country M exchanged a silent glance.

The Lieutenant General of Country M then stood up and said, "Lieutenant General, I need to protect the rights of my people. Unless you have a search warrant or substantial evidence, you have no right to search, especially since Mr. Hudson is an important politician in our country."

He Chong glanced at the other man. Although they were of the same rank, He Chong acted as if he was superior to him and looked down on him. "The man is in the basement. How can I get evidence if the lieutenant general won't let me search?"

The lieutenant general was a little unhappy with He Chong: "What if there is nothing?"

He Chong said without hesitation: "I can bear the consequences."

He completely trusted Wen Li and did not even confirm with Wen Li.

He Chong wore black combat boots and a straight, imposing uniform. His long legs were slightly apart beneath his trousers, his hands clutching his belt. He spoke slowly and fluently in English, "Didn't he insist on his innocence? If he's been wrongly accused, what's the reason he's afraid to be searched? Or are there other, undisclosed secrets in this basement? Don't worry, I'm not interested in those secrets. But I must remind you that if our important scientific researchers are truly here and something happens to them, the Lieutenant General will be held accountable for interfering." He then gave his men a direct order: "Search. My orders are to investigate and rescue. Anyone who dares to stop me or has any objections to my actions will be brought to court-martial."

Lieutenant General of Country M: "I need to consult my superiors."

He Chong held his head high, not even looking at anyone. "You ask for instructions, and I'll carry out mine. But you must know that if any adverse consequences are caused or aggravated by your delay, you will be held responsible."

The M country lieutenant general's face turned black.

People in the Presidential Palace, the Hudson father and son, and the Lieutenant General of Country M all expressed great dissatisfaction with He Chong's arrogance, but since He Chong had said so much, they couldn't do anything to him. They only hoped that He Chong would pay for his actions.

But it's obviously unlikely.

Huang Zhenxiong directly opened the video call and, under Jiang Yingbai's remote guidance, led his men to the basement quickly.

Hudson gave his son Simon a secret wink.

As soon as Simon took a step, he was locked onto by He Chong.

He Chong stared at Simon who was about to do something.

Simon paused.

The next moment, Simon ignored him and was about to leave.

He Chong lazily said to Simon who turned around and wanted to leave: "If you need to go to the bathroom, wait a while before going."

Simon turned around, looked directly at He Chong, and said unhappily, "It seems that the Lieutenant General has no right to restrict my personal freedom, right?"

He Chong acted as if he hadn't heard Simon's words and continued, "If you want to call, wait until my people come back."

Want to tip off Yan Wenrui and transfer him? Do you think he's stupid?

Simon stared at He Chong without any expression, gnashing his teeth and saying, "I will definitely send you to court-martial."

He Chong didn't care: "I'll wait."

He almost rolled his eyes at Simon.

Soon He Chong's men and Huang Zhenxiong came back.

Also returning with them was the depressed Yan Wenrui.

When Yan Wenrui saw Wen Li and a group of soldiers wearing Chinese military uniforms, he was so frightened that his legs went limp.

If he hadn't been held up by someone, he would have sat on the ground.

He was completely enveloped in despair.

At the same time, he felt ashamed of himself for being so guilty towards Wen Li.

He didn't dare look directly at Wen Li.

The Langdon family was a little surprised that the important Chinese scientific researcher mentioned by Wen Lihe Chong was actually imprisoned in the manor.

He Chong glanced at Hudson calmly, his eyes and tone cold: "Explain it, otherwise I will have a hard time reporting back."

He Chong's recklessness and arrogance perfectly illustrate what Lu Xixiao said about treating the disease with the right medicine. Lu Xixiao, who is ostensibly just a businessman, would still call Hudson, but He Chong doesn't do that at all.

Hudson said calmly, "I'm inviting him to join a collaborative project at my research institute. Is there any problem?"

Huang Zhenxiong spat, "Bullshit! What kind of good person would ask for cooperation to lock someone up in a glass room, lock it, and torture them into this state? Are you going to study him or study him?"

Hudson ignored Huang Zhenxiong and asked Yan Wenrui, "Mr. Yan, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Hudson's words made Yan Wenrui shudder.

He lowered his head and did not move for a while.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Yan Wenrui.

As if he felt everyone's gaze, Yan Wenrui lowered his head even lower, and his weak body began to tremble like a sieve.

"Mr. Yan?" Hudson called Yan Wenrui again, and anyone could hear the threat in his tone.

Then everyone saw Yan Wenrui nod and then shake his head.

The whole person was filled with fear.

Hudson: “Did I say yes or no?”

Yan Wenrui nodded again.

Hudson smiled with satisfaction: "Did you see it?"

He Chong's expression remained unchanged. "Whether it's imprisonment or cooperation, I'll investigate further." He turned and took the chip from Wen Li's hand. He didn't understand why it was wrapped in a tissue in a sealed bag. Could it be radiation? He glanced at Hudson, then handed the chip to Yan Wenrui and asked, "Let me ask you, who owns this thing?"

Yan Wenrui hesitated to look up, then lowered his head again. He didn't dare look at Wen Li or Hudson. At He Chong's urging, he finally raised his finger and pointed at Wen Li, saying hoarsely, "...It's, hers."

He Chong put the chip into his pocket in front of everyone: "Wen Li has already handed this chip over to China for free. It is now China's property and I will hand it over. Now that the matter has been clarified, I will arrange for my people to take over the matter of whether Yan Wenrui is imprisoned. I will leave first."

He Chong was about to pack up with his men and chips.

Hudson: "Wait."

How could Hudson just let him go like that?

He Chong kept walking: "If you have any comments or questions, please communicate with the embassy. Don't delay my mission."

Hudson took a step forward and blocked He Chong's way.
