Chapter 189: Refining the Jade Pendant Magic Artifact

In that moment, the entire Jade Pavilion felt oppressively silent.

The plainclothes police officers were all pale, their teeth chattering nonstop inside their mouths, their legs nearly giving out beneath them.

And no wonder, the Vice Mayor and the Secretary, such high-ranking officials, had nearly been arrested by them. No matter how you looked at it, the gravity of the situation had reached a critical level.

"Then... then, Mayor Xie, Secretary Lan, just now..."

"Hmph! No need to explain now. Whatever you have to say, you can tell it to your chief later."

The expressions on Xie Ming and Lan Pinghai's faces showed not the slightest softening, with Xie Ming even taking out his phone without a word and dialing Qu Zhengbo to recount what had just happened.

Upon hearing what Xie Ming had to say, Qu Zhengbo's reaction was almost the same as those plainclothes officers - a cold sweat broke out on his back in an instant.
