Chapter 1110: Trap! Someone from the Security Department is coming!
The burly, resolute-looking man in a suit at the head of the group did not get angry when he heard this. Instead, his lips curled up in an almost appreciative smile.
"Mr. Lu is indeed a renowned legend in Chinese business circles. His unwavering presence, despite the crumbling of Mount Tai, is truly extraordinary. I admire him."
He paused, stood straight, and introduced himself: "My name is Bi Yuntao, from the Special Operations Division of the Ministry of Security. I've made this unplanned visit today on official business. I have an important matter that requires Mr. Lu's cooperation in investigating."
"Security Department?!"
These three words hit Lu Feng's heart hard.
His pupils contracted slightly.
Of course he had heard of this department and was even well aware of its importance. It was a special force responsible for tracking down leaks, espionage activities, and protecting the country's core secrets.
A thought flashed through my mind like lightning: Qu Chunrun! The technology he brought with him when he suddenly appeared, and the three years he had mysteriously disappeared...
All of this was connected in an instant, like an invisible net suddenly tightening.
Lu Feng's heart sank suddenly, and a chill emerged.
It was as if he had stepped into a carefully laid trap, and the bait was the "technical information" that he was determined to get even at a high price!
His heart was churning and roaring, but the shrewdness he had acquired from the ups and downs of the business world for a long time allowed him to maintain an almost stereotyped calmness on his face.
He adjusted his sitting position slightly, tapping his fingertips lightly on the smooth tabletop. His voice was calm and composed. "Oh? Security Department? I wonder if Mr. Lu needs any cooperation with Mr. Bi in this investigation?"
Bi Yuntao chuckled, but the smile was cold and heartless. His sharp eyes were fixed on Lu Feng's face like a searchlight. At the same time, he took a step forward, his eyes landing precisely on the opened file bag.
He extended two fingers, very casually yet with unquestionable strength, picked up the document bag, and waved it in front of Lu Feng:
"The reason is simple. Someone has reported you, Director Lu, under your real name, for allegedly stealing core information from the nation's latest cutting-edge research project."
His voice suddenly turned sharp, with a metallic quality. "This information—Director Lu, where did you get it from?"
It was not until this moment that Zhao Yun and others, who were stunned by the sudden change, suddenly came to their senses.
Zhao Yun's face flushed red, and he took a step forward eagerly, loudly defending himself:
"Hey, sir! This is a normal business transaction! The other party is selling legally, we're buying legally, and the contract is complete! How could we possibly be suspected of stealing secrets? There must be some misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstand?"
Bi Yuntao snorted coldly, and his sharp eyes swept across Zhao Yun like a knife. His powerful aura instantly suppressed the other party's excuses.
"Legal transaction? Who can prove it? You don't have the final say on the nature of this information!"
After saying this, he ignored Zhao Yun and handed the document bag to a stern-looking, white-gloved subordinate beside him, and ordered, "Verify immediately!"
The subordinate took the file bag and carefully pulled out the documents inside with professional and quick movements. He quickly and attentively flipped through several pages of key content and carefully checked several charts and formulas.
A few seconds later, he raised his head, his eyes meeting Bi Yuntao's. His voice was decisive and cold, with a sense of certainty: "Report! Confirmed, this is the core target information we are pursuing!"
This sentence exploded in the office like a thunder.
Everyone turned their eyes to the young man almost at the same time.
"Boy, why didn't your master come?"
Lu Feng looked at him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see him clearly from inside out.
At this time, the young man was frightened by the scene in front of him and was at a loss. After hearing Lu Feng's question, he quickly took out his mobile phone and called Qu Chunrun.
But to his despair and fear, the only response from the other end was a cold, “The number you dialed is powered off.”
The young man didn't believe it and tried several times, but every time he failed.
At this moment, even if he was slow to react, he realized that something was wrong.
“My master’s phone number…is disconnected…”
Hearing this, Lu Feng was 100% certain in his heart that Qu Chunrun was going to deal with him, otherwise how could he have prepared a scapegoat in advance.
What he couldn't understand was that he and Qu Chunrun had never met before, so why did the other party go to so much trouble to frame him.
"Mr. Lu,"
Bi Yuntao's voice broke the silence, his tone cold and hard, "Now that we have both witnesses and evidence, the facts are clear. You should honestly cooperate with us and return to accept the investigation."
He tilted his head slightly, his eyes sweeping towards Lu Feng sharply. "Please rest assured, when our Security Department handles cases, we will never wrongly accuse a good person, but we will also never let a bad person go."
After saying that, he raised his hand and made a simple gesture to the two men behind him with stern expressions, "Take them away!"
"Yes!" Two burly agents stepped forward, their movements swift and professional, their target aimed directly at Lu Feng.
"stop!"
"What are you doing!"
"Director Lu!"
Almost at the same moment Bi Yuntao gave the order, Zhao Yun, Chen Qian, Wu Yi and Song Qingyin stepped forward as if by reflex and stood in front of Lu Feng without hesitation.
Among them, Nie Zhan even put his hands on his waist and quietly pressed the emergency contact button to notify other members of the bodyguard team.
Everyone's eyes were wide open and their chests were heaving violently. It was obvious that they were extremely angry.
They may be afraid of the power of the Security Department, but protecting Lu Feng and maintaining the dignity of the company is an instinct ingrained in their bones.
Seeing his men being stopped, Bi Yuntao's eyes instantly darkened, like the deep water in a cold pond.
He took a step forward, the overwhelming pressure making the air seem stagnant. His voice was extremely low, yet it carried a hint of impending danger:
"Mr. Lu, what do you mean? Are you... going to arrest me?" He pronounced the word "arrest" very clearly, and it carried a lot of weight.
Zhao Yun and others who were standing in front of them gasped, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.
Arresting security agents is a crime that is enough to bring them to ruin.
"of course not."
Lu Feng's voice sounded calmly, breaking the deadlock.
He slowly stood up, his tall figure carrying the composure of someone who had long held a high position. He gently pushed aside Zhao Yun and Chen Qian, motioning them to step back, his gaze fixed on Bi Yuntao, who was standing just a short distance away.
"Mr. Bi, I understand that cooperating with the investigation is a citizen's duty."
There was still not much emotion in Lu Feng's voice, but every word was clear and powerful.
"However, based solely on this piece of unidentified information, a seller who has lost contact, and a few uninformed words from his apprentice, you conclude that I, Lu Feng, have stolen state secrets and want to arrest me immediately. Isn't that... a bit too arbitrary?"
"Has it never occurred to you that I was also framed?"
