Capítulo 471: Chapter 470 Noble Patronage

Pei Ke was arrested by the police in Ao City.

He was detained by customs officials in Ao City while crossing the border, and they found an expensive batch of diamonds on him.

In Ao City at that time, being a smuggler was a very common grey occupation. There's a saying, "Law does not punish numerous offenders," so even if one was caught, generally by paying sufficient fines, they could avoid criminal charges.

But this time, Pei Ke ran into big trouble.

The batch of diamonds he was smuggling was loot from a robbery.

Similar robberies had occurred several times in Ao City, and the police had not been able to solve them. Under great pressure, Pei Ke happened to be caught in the crossfire.

Clearly, Pei Ke became the scapegoat.

Once the charges of the robbers were confirmed, he would likely spend the rest of his life in prison.

Adding up several cases, the amount involved exceeded tens of millions.

After understanding the whole situation, Shen Mingzhu also became a bit panicked.
