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 1 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. ”

Shen Xi fearlessly stared at the opposing party, while Duan Jian and Xu Hua looked somewhat troubled.

Both Guan Lei and Shen Xi were rare talents from the Imperial Capital Military University. Arresting the two of them at once might give the impression that the university was specifically training spies and traitors.

Guan Lei scoffed, and his piercing gaze met the person who spoke earlier. “National Security Bureau indeed. Accusing people without following proper procedures. You don’t adhere to the arrest protocol, and now you’re throwing around accusations of complicity. Is this how the National Security Bureau operates? Relying on subjective speculations? Quite impressive! ”

The man, already infuriated by Shen Xi’s remarks, couldn’t come up with a response to Guan Lei’s taunts. He immediately signaled his men to forcibly take Guan Lei away.

Seeing the situation escalate, Xue Li immediately assumed a combat posture.

Even Shen Xi’s expression darkened. She hadn’t expected these people would dare to touch someone from the Guan family, considering the influence of Old Master Guan, a former high-ranking military officer.

The fact that they dared to target Guan Lei suggested some powerful backing, making them unafraid of Old Master Guan’s influence.

“Enough talk! Take them away!” The man at the forefront ordered brusquely.

Duan Jian and Xu Hua were in a quandary, and the people behind were already engaged in a scuffle with Xue Li.

Shen Xi grabbed a nearby chair without hesitation, ready to confront the intruders.

Guan Lei, anxious to protect Shen Xi, tried to stand up, but the wound on his abdomen reopened. His light-colored clothes were instantly stained with fresh blood.

“Stop!” A thunderous shout from the doorway halted the escalating situation.

All eyes turned to the entrance, where Guan Yi stood with Lei Feng. Behind them, the Guan family couple hurriedly pushed through the crowd, reaching Guan Lei and Shen Xi.

Su Han gently held Shen Xi’s hand, tightly gripping the chair, and said, “It’s okay, Xi. Let it go.”

Shen Xi’s gaze swept across the faces of those people before finally letting go of the chair.

Guan Yan supported Guan Lei back to the bed and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”

Guan Lei nodded, but the blood on his lips had faded slightly.

Seeing Guan Yi t s arrival, one of the men spoke, “Old Chief, sorry for the disturbance, we’re just following orders. We need to take Guan Lei back for questioning. ”

Guan Yi snorted, “The new election hasn’t even started, and you’re already carrying out the purge?”

The man’s mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled, “Old Chief, what are you saying? We’re just following orders! We hope you won’t make it difficult for us. The sooner we question Guan Lei, the sooner he can return. What do you say?”

In front of Guan Yi, the man showed a bit more restraint.

“In that case, I’ll go with Guan Lei. If he dares to betray the country, you won’t need to take action. I’ll be the first to kill him,” Guan Yi said with an ominous race.

“Old Chief, you’re putting me in a difficult position, aren’t you? If you come with us, the entire country will drown me in spit. Old Chief, rest assured, we won’t harm Guan Lei. It’s just routine questioning.” The man tactfully rejected

Guan Yi’s offer to accompany them..
