Chapter 1201 - 1201 1157 Ironclad Case

?Chapter 1201: Chapter 1157: Ironclad Case Chapter 1201: Chapter 1157: Ironclad Case Lingxiao’s methods were actually quite simple, forceful in both voice and demeanor, which was the most commonly used approach. The purpose of Lingxiao was straightforward too, as long as he could bluff these people in front of him, then he would swiftly clean up any loose ends left behind. By that time, it would be difficult for Longxi Province to find any trouble.

Sun Kai was also in a difficult position at the moment. He had heard of Lingxiao’s connections, which were not something a vice-ministerial level official like him could contend with. The current situation was a typical case of deities fighting and mortals suffering as collateral. One misstep and he, himself, could end up as a sacrifice.

If there is any issue, you can discuss it directly with Secretary Nie. I am acting under orders, I apologize.”

As he spoke, Sun Kai took out a search warrant and handed it to Lingxiao, saying in a deep voice, “Mr. Ling, this is a search warrant signed by the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office. Please have a look.”

As his voice fell, one of his subordinates approached Sun Kai and whispered, “Director Sun, we’ve made a significant discovery. Hundreds of illegal miners have been found in the mining area.”

“Illegal miners?”

Some were tricked into coming here, while others were individuals with mental disabilities or rural people gathered from various places, sent to such places by unscrupulous individuals. Aside from three meals a day, there was no pay. Moreover, in such places, personal freedom was severely restricted. Under the overseer’s watch, a slight mistake could result in a whipping. It was essentially free forced labor.
