The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 592 Sand Sea 18

The Nine Gates now hate Wu Xie to the core, and this resentment has naturally extended to the Wu family.

Starting with Wu Laogou's generation, the Wu family has a history of engaging in underhanded tactics to harm the Nine Gates.

The second generation, Wu Sansheng, went even further, almost wiping out all the second-generation elites painstakingly cultivated by the Nine Gates.

Now that Wu Laogou is dead and Wu Sansheng has disappeared, the third generation Wu Xie has actually taken over the baton of 'causing trouble'.

"Damn it! This Wu family really knows how to wreak havoc on the Nine Gates!" the Nine Gates members said through gritted teeth.

Especially Wu Xie, he's so ruthless, directly provoking the official forces. This is clearly a move to completely destroy the Nine Gates.

Don't be fooled by the Nine Gates' boasts of their strength; when it comes to the nation, their power is like an ant trying to shake a tree—nothing special.

In particular, as the police's attention to and investigation of Gutongjing deepened, they reopened the archives related to Project 056 and obtained a wealth of information about the place.

The police also had some knowledge of these magical and bizarre things, such as immortality, the Queen Mother of the West, the nine-headed cypress, and the black-haired snake.

Then, the police were even more confused about the Nine Gates' actions.

Are these people out of their minds?

Putting aside the truth of these matters, just considering that even the country hasn't figured them out, do you think you Nine Gates, a bunch of lawless madmen, could possibly understand them?

Besides, didn't Zhang Qishan, who was sent by the authorities back then, seal off the ancient city of Gutongjing? How dare you people go in on your own?

How many times did they go in? How many cultural relics were stolen? Where were these cultural relics sold? Were they sold abroad?

Upon realizing this, the police immediately became restless.

Just as the Nine Gates had completely given up and were about to abscond with the money, the police launched a swift and simultaneous operation in multiple locations to arrest all members of the Nine Gates, determined not to give them another chance to harm society.

The arrest operation went exceptionally smoothly.

The police had long been fully aware of the actions of the Nine Gates members, like an invisible net that had them firmly trapped within it.

Core members of the Nine Gates, such as Wu Xie, Wu Erbai, and Xie Yuchen, were closely monitored for two months.

Therefore, these individuals were the first to be apprehended during the arrest.

When Wu Xie was captured, he and Kan Jian were still trying to figure out how to take Li Cu away.

Before they could even reach a conclusion, the two were caught red-handed by the police.

With a crisp 'snap', a pair of 'silver bracelets' appeared on Wu Xie's wrist. The icy touch sent chills down his spine and raised goosebumps all over his body.

Wu Xie stared blankly at the handcuffs on his wrists: "???"

No? Is this right? Is this right?

Shouldn't he have taken Li Chu to Gutongjing by now to officially begin the Desert Sea Project? How did things develop to this point?

Wu Xie never expected that his meticulously planned scheme of ten years would be thwarted by a single emergency call from Li Cu.

Sitting in the interrogation room with the slogan 'Confess and be treated leniently, resist and be punished severely,' Wu Xie's hands were bound by cold handcuffs. The icy touch brought his dizzy brain back to its original state of 'naivety.'

Wu Xie stared blankly at the ceiling of the interrogation room, his heart filled with helplessness and regret.

He knew that his fate had been completely changed.
