Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 512 - 514: Captured

"As long as the company’s employees are safe, nothing else is a problem."

"Even if something happens, when the truth comes out one day, those people will come back, and the real impact won’t be significant."

"Without that video as strong evidence, if those people left without returning, then it would be a severe blow to the company’s vitality."

"Although there will be some financial loss over the next few days, I don’t care, as long as I can drag out the person behind this."

Qin Hao didn’t send Qiao’er to school these past two days, as he was also worried she might be affected, considering many students and teachers knew of the relationship between Qin Hao and Qiao’er.

Zhao Yuying and Han Meng both stayed home, and the defenses at Mr. Qin’s villa were significantly reinforced, as Li Bao was worried someone might harm Qin Hao.

As the days went by, because of Qin Hao’s silence and lack of response, more and more people began to doubt him.

On the fourth day, Qin Hao received a call from Feng Xiangyi, who told him that several Jiangshan Delicatessen branches in Jianghai had been vandalized, and the staff had been injured to varying degrees.

The police had been notified and had already arrested three perpetrators who, after investigation, were found to have vandalized the store in anger over Qin Hao’s actions concerning national sovereignty.

"Handle this matter as it should be handled, according to the law," Qin Hao said indifferently.

After hanging up with Feng Xiangyi, Qin Hao received a call from Xu Liangguo.

Xu Liangguo: "Xiao Hao, you’ll have to endure some hardship. Those people are well-hidden, and if this continues, it will cause significant damage to you and your company."

"What kind of hardship?" Qin Hao’s mind had already figured it out.

Xu Liangguo: "Cooperate with the police investigation, and then you may have to spend a few days in custody. That will probably draw those people out."

Qin Hao nodded slightly: "Okay, Mr. Xu."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao took a deep breath, and his face turned solemn.

Zhao Yuying looked at him and asked, "What’s wrong, Xiao Hao?"

Qin Hao: "I might have to go in for a few days. You all stay home and wait for me to come back."

"Go where for a few days?" Zhao Yuying and Han Meng asked in surprise.

Qin Hao: "Probably to the detention center; before a sentence is passed, that’s where they keep you."

Han Meng’s complexion changed slightly: "What’s wrong, Xiao Hao? What’s happened to you?"

"It’s nothing, Meng. I’ll be fine in a few days," Qin Hao said casually.

Although Zhao Yuying knew Qin Hao had an ace up his sleeve, she was still worried; after all, that place was no paradise.

About half an hour later, seven or eight police cars drove into the Haoting Sea View Villa District and stopped in front of Mr. Qin’s house.

A squad of armed police officers, SWAT, and detectives got out of the cars.

Leng Xuan and others were stunned for a moment; at this time, Qin Hao came out from inside, expressionless, his face drawn and pale with fatigue.

Of course, this was all an act because he couldn’t be sure if any of those officers might be spies for others.

The person leading the team was Miao Jing, who looked at Qin Hao with complicated eyes, "Mr. Qin, please come with us."

"What have I done wrong?" Qin Hao asked, looking at Miao Jing.

Miao Jing spoke indifferently: "You are suspected of issues involving national territorial sovereignty and need to assist with the investigation. Take him away."

Two police officers came up and cuffed him, then roughly pushed him into the car.

Zhao Yuying, Han Meng, and Qiao’er didn’t come out; Qin Hao hadn’t let them.

Just as Qin Hao had been arrested and before he had been taken back to the police station, the news was leaked online.

"Big news, big news, Qin Hao was taken away by the police. It is said he looked haggard and his face was pale,"

"What? He was actually arrested?"

There had been that small part of people who harbored fantasies about Qin Hao, but as he was taken away by the police, their illusions shattered completely, and they joined the ranks of those denouncing Qin Hao.

"The police have finally stepped in, such a person must be arrested, a traitor to the nation, he got what he deserved."

"Good riddance, he should be executed by firing squad and his money distributed among everyone."

"He deserves it, a treacherous traitor, I hope the state executes him by firing squad."

...

Now the internet was completely one-sided in the battle, almost everyone was cursing him, and after Qin Hao’s arrest, several Jiangshan Delicatessen stores were smashed, causing a terribly bad influence.

The police arrested these people according to the law as well because no one is above the law.

After Qin Hao was taken to the police station, Miao Jing personally interrogated him, and naturally, Qin Hao would not admit to those things.

Miao Jing looked at him and said, "Mr. Qin, now your only option is to confess and ask for leniency. Strive for a more generous treatment, or else it will not be good for you."

The order to arrest Qin Hao was not given by the chief, but came down from above, it was obvious this time he was truly finished.

The Xu Family couldn’t help him, and for his kind of crime, he wouldn’t get the death penalty; by confessing and sincerely apologizing, perhaps he could reduce his time inside by a few years.

To be honest, Miao Jing felt very conflicted; a youth with the brilliance of a comet streaking across the sky, destined to disappear in an instant.

His chances for the next generation were probably ruined, even if he had achieved countless glories, but in the end, they couldn’t outweigh a single mistake.

Miao Jing thought it was too cruel. Not to mention anything else, but wasn’t the invention of the anti-cancer drug enough to outweigh his mistakes?

She looked at Qin Hao with rare sympathy and pity in her eyes.

Qin Hao saw Miao Jing’s eyes and said with a faint smile, "Officer Miao, I have already explained everything that needed to be explained, there’s nothing left to say."

Miao Jing: "Mr. Qin, do you think I’m trying to harm you? This is your last chance."

Qin Hao closed his eyes: "Officer Miao, you might as well save your breath, how can I admit to something that’s not true?"

Miao Jing clenched her teeth with frustration upon seeing his demeanor; how could this guy not distinguish between good and bad advice?

At that moment, a police officer outside called Miao Jing out, and after about four or five minutes, Miao Jing walked back in emotionlessly.

Two criminal police officers followed behind her, and Miao Jing said in a flat tone, "Take him away."

Qin Hao was led out of the interrogation room, then placed in a vehicle heading towards the Jianghai First Detention Center on the outskirts of Jianghai City.

That was the largest and most secure detention center in Jianghai, housing almost every kind of criminal.

Fighters, thieves, embezzlers, robbers, murderers, rapists, gang members, and so on.

All criminals who had not been sentenced would stay in the detention center, and only after the court announced the sentence would they be transferred to a designated prison to serve their time.

On the way to the detention center, Miao Jing and Qin Hao sat in the back. Originally, there were two police officers in the back watching over Qin Hao, but Miao Jing had them move to the front vehicle.

"Officer Miao, did you want to talk?" Qin Hao asked with his eyes half-closed.

Miao Jing didn’t know what to say; she felt a bit complex inside. After all, Qin Hao had helped her once, and she had always remembered that favor.

But now, she couldn’t help Qin Hao with the trouble he was in.

Eventually, she said, "Behave and reform yourself inside. With your abilities, you won’t do too badly once you’re out."

Qin Hao: "Thank you, Officer Miao."
