Chapter 311 - 310: Wanted
While the couple seemed to be in a good position, back in Beijing, two people were in an opposite position.
***Breaking News: Luo brothers of the Luo Corp. are said to be connnected with the large shipment which were intercepted by the customs officials with the help of the Interpol earlier. It is said that the cargoes inside the one hundred container vans are smuggled illegal drugs, high caliber firearms and amumnitios, cars and trafficked children whose ages ranges from as early as six to ten years old.
As of this broadcast, their side had not given any statements with regards to this matter. They have been invited for an inquest earlier today but only their lawyers showed up in behalf of them.
However, the authorities already issued a travel ban for the brothers to prevent them from leaving the country just in case they will plan to fly just to escape.
It is said that the Interpol and other foreign authorities have been receiving a reliable tip that these brothers had been involved with drugs and human trafficking in the past.
However no solid evidences had been gathered against them.
But now, with all of these evidences which could support that they're involved with this, it will be hard for them to deny this unless a miracle happened. Unless the 'owner' of this shipment will take all the blame and not point his finger to his big bosses. It was find out that he was one of the directors of Luo Corp. making him connected with the Luo brothers. The aforementioned 'owner' was already under custody.
Whoever is this reliable informant should be blessed by the heavens for exposing such terrible people.***
The news caster said as it was broadcasted on the TV on Luo Tian's study.
Luo Tian was about to turn off the TV when the door opened harshly.
"Brother! What's going on? The authorities are already after us!" Luo Mian said in panic as he barged into his brother's study.
"Calm down, will you?" Luo Tian said as he turned off the TV.
"How should I calm down when they are questioning the legitimacies of our legal business and starting to dig on our backgrounds. The next thing we know, they'll be freezing our bank accounts and cards. Just because of that f*cking informant! Whoever that person is, I'll go and hunt him to death!" Luo Mian was fuming in anger.
"I thought everything was smooth and no one detected the goods that we have. Even our trusted man was now being detained by them!" He added.
"That's the point. It's supposed to be smooth. No one should have known about this big transaction. Seems like there's a traitor on our side." Luo Tian said.
"I thought so, too Brother. But what should we do now? Are we going to be behind bars soon?" The younger asked.
"No. Unless our man would not know what to do in situations like this, then we are in a very difficult position." Luo Tian said.
"Everything will be fine as long as he'll keep silent." Luo Tian added.
"As long as we make him to be silent forever." Luo Mian corrected.
"Correct, that's the only way!" His big brother exclaimed.
"But what about the authorities?"
"Relax, we have few of our allies siting on power. No one can harm us. I paid them to do their job well for us." Luo Tian reassured.
He was very confident that no one could still touch them as long as those big-bellied men would still be loyal to them.
"For now, continue with our second plan with Nathan. Let's see how far he could stand this. Seems like luck is in our hands. Whoever hacked their system must be our ally. Go and try to look for that person." He instructed.
"What are you planning, Brother?" He asked.
"Befriending my enemy's enemy." He simply explained.
Luo Mian left as soon as he received his brother's orders.
Luo Tian was still calmed and composed during the day but everything became chaotic when a group of policemen came knocking on their doors with handcuffs on.
"Where's Mr. Luo?" One of the arresting officer asked the guard who opened the gate for them.
"Mr. Luo is not here. He has not come back since he left to report in the company since this morning." The guard lied.
However, the officer presented the warrant of arrest and the search warrant to the guard making him to have no choice but to let them in.
He just hoped that his boss had hidden somewhere safe.
"Men! Search the area. We have to arrest the two of them tonight!" The leader of the arresting police officers commanded.
"Let's go!"
It took them almost an hour to search the entire place. They had flipped every rooms but they could not find them inside. However, they had found suspicious documents that could be used as additional evidence inside Luo Tian's office.
Seeing that the Luo brothers were not there, the police had no other choice but to leave. However, they left two officers to stand guard on the area just in case there's a sighting to one of them.
Little did they know that Luo Mian was already hiding on their safe house while Luo Tian was hiding in the secret room inside his study room.
He was almost caught when one of the officer checked on the bookshelf behind his desk.
One of their paid men in the police department had already given him a heads up that a group of police officers were there to arrest them. He even warned the him that this might be the last time he would be helping them because he too would be in a tight spot if someone would know his connection with them.
As soon as Luo Tian received the message, he then messaged Luo Mian to not come back on the mansion and go to one of their safe houses.
He had to protect his brother at all cost. He also messaged his two siblings who were living overseas to slow down their operation and as much as possible, deny their involvement with this kind of business.
However, Eunji had already laid down her traps to capture them.
There's no escape for him and his siblings unless he would make some sacrifices.
"Damn it!" He could only curse as he walked towards his human-size safe and opened it using his code.
The safe was full of piles of money, gold and documents of all of his properties.
He then took a bag and packed two bags of cash and a bag of gold bars.
He was sure that their bank accounts had been frozen by now so they had no other source of cash than these in front of him.
After making sure that he had packed up all of the money which would do for the meantime, he then went out of this secret room and went to his room using the secret door which connected his bedroom and his study room.
He directly went inside the bathroom to do something with his appearance.
He gave himself a very clean cut. After that, he went into the shower.
When he was done, he changed his clothes into a more casual one and he went back to his study and back to that secret room which had another door that would lead him to the hidden exit out of this place.
Luo Tian then carried two bags and walked down the long stairs and a long hallway/tunnel before he reached his private garage which was detached from the mansion.
He then placed the bags near the car that he would be using and he walked to the cabinet and grabbed the key and as soon as he pressed the button, the car lit up and the doors unlocked.
He then shoved the first two bags inside the car before he went back to the same passage to get the rest inside that secret room.
He should have asked one of his men inside the mansion to do the tiring job for them but one thing he had learned from his parents was to not trust the people who bowed down to his money.
Who knows one of them would sell him out to the authorities?
After making sure that he had placed everything in the car, Luo Tian then wore his cap down and got inside the car.
He started the engine and then drove towards the tunnel which lead him to the hidden exit to be free.
One thing was running on his mind, to get revenge.
He was sure that he was already ruined after this scandal and he had no other option but to step back and regroup.
But would they (Eunji and Nathan) allow him to do that?
The shocking news that they were now being wanted by the law had been spread all through out the country and everyone was waiting for them to be punished for doing those crimes.
Their competitors were already laughing at them. And even were in a fierce argument on which empire will rise after the fall of the Luo brothers. Nathan's empire was also in a very tight position at the moment.
Good thing Nathan had a lot of support from his friends.
Nathan and Eunji received the news while they were cuddling on the bed after they had woken up from their day sleep.
His phone beeped as it notified of the latest news back in Beijing.
"Is this the surprise that you're talking about?" He said as he showed his phone to her.
"Yes. But that's not enough. It's just the start." She said with a smile.
She knew that it's not easy to trap a person like Luo Tian.. He won't survive in this cruel world if he was an easy cow.
