âTell me exactly what happened.â
For the next few minutes, Liang Ruoxu talked about this over the phone.
The person who called Liang Ruoxu was the head of the tax department in Zhonghai.
Because He Yuanyuan had a very strong business relationship with the other party, she saw her WeChat Moments immediately.
When she saw Lin Yi on the screen, she called Liang Ruoxu.
âWhat happened? Why was that kid arrested?â Yang Guangxia asked.
âI donât know whatâs going on either,â Liang Ruoxu said.
âMoreover, Lin Yi wasnât the only one arrested. Qin Han from the Qin family, Liang Jinming from the Liang family, and Gao Zongyuan from the Gao family were also arrested. â
âOther than Lin Yi, these people should all be famous families in Zhonghai, right?â MO Hongshan said.
âLet me make a call to find out whatâs going on. What a mess, they have such audacity, causing such a ruckus!â
Seeing Liang Ruoxu on the phone, Yang Guangxia pondered for a moment.
âLittle MO, later you and Little Mi will personally go and inform Lin Yi of the news from above, see what he thinks.â
âShould we say it now?â MO Hongshan said, âIsnât it a little early?â
âIt seems like he went to Zhonghai before the new year and had some conflicts with certain people. Thatâs why the higher-ups intend to put him in.
âBut donât say too much, just hint at it. Heâs a smart person, so heâll understand with just a hint. Letâs see what he thinks first. â
âAlright, letâs go over personally.â
âOkay, go ahead.â
In the county police station, Lin Yi and the others were interrogated again and brought to the detention center.
âGo in. Behave yourselves and donât commit any crimes. Otherwise, your charges will be worse.â
The four of them walked in one after another. The jail wasnât big, measuring less than twenty square meters.
Other than the four of them, there were four other people who were also locked up in this place.
These men were all sizing them up with a scrutinizing gaze.
âSigh, f*ck, the smell of this place is too strong,â Qin Han said.
âThey eat, drink, and poop here, so the smell is naturally strong.â Lin Yi smiled. âJust bear with it.â
âBut this place is really deadly.â Liang Jinming looked around and said,
âAnd this is just a detention center. Ifwe end up in a real prison, itâs probably going to be hell on earth.â
âThatâs why, in this day and age, itâs better not to do anything and not to break the law. Itâs better to just be an ordinary person.â
Lin Yiâs expression was a little unnatural as he spoke.
Big Brother had been in there for five years. He did not know how he had survived.
The other three also agreed.
The few of them had caused a lot of trouble over the years, but because their families were impressive, they escaped unscathed.
If they were an ordinary person, they might have already been sent to jail many times over.
âYou guys are new here, right? What did you do?â
The person who spoke sat in the corner of the bed, picking his feet as he examined the four of them.
Liang Jinming glanced at him and said,
âWhat has our crime got to do with you?â
âKid, youâre quite fierce. Did you not get beaten up before coming in?â
The man stood up and stood in front of Liang Jinming, Lin Yi, and the others, ready to attack at any moment.
âWhat are you doing?!â
Just as the two sides were about to clash, the person in charge shouted,
âSit back down! â
Upon hearing the shout, the burly man immediately changed his expression and said with a smile,
âWeâre going back now.â
Lin Yi and the others stood rooted to the ground, not taking this seriously.
At this moment, Yu Deqiang walked over with an exceptionally arrogant and smug expression.
âKid, you didnât expect me to bring you here, did you?â
âI really didnât expect this. Youâre quite smart.â
âIn this day and age, the time for fighting and killing has long passed. Do you really think Iâll wait to beat you up? Nowadays, we rely on our brains to survive. Donât think that because you can fight, no one can deal with you.â Yu Deqiang said.
âA person like you is at most cannon fodder. Iâve never taken you seriously from the very beginningâ
âBesides, arenât you supposed to be super impressive? Arenât you very good at fighting? Let me tell you, none of the people here are easy to deal with. Letâs see how long you can maintain your arrogance.â
âI think I can continue to be arrogant, but I canât say the same for you,â Lin Yi smiled.
âYouâre already here, yet youâre still so pretentious. This is the first time Iâve seen someone like you.â
With that, Yu Deqiang looked at the burly man.
âYou must be Sun Ronghai, the one who beat someone into a vegetative state, right?â
Sun Ronghai looked at Yu Deqiang. âYou know me?â
âIâve already heard about your situation. Youâre quite skilled, so I brought you a few cigarettes to relieve you of your cravings when you need a hit.â
Sun Ronghai âs expression changed slightly when he saw the four packets of Zhonghua cigarettes that Yu Deqiang took out.
These were valuable items in this place, and more useful than money. If he had these four packets of cigarettes, he would have enough to smoke for a while.
âDo you want me to do something for you?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Sun Ronghai was a farmer, he was not stupid.
He knew that these cigarettes would not be given to him for no reason.
âThe kid in the jacket. I donât like him. Help me teach him a lesson and these four packs will be yours.â
âStop joking. Do you think I can fight just because you want me to? If the warden finds out, Iâll be in deep sh*t.â
âDonât worry, Iâve already arranged everything else. No one will come over for the next half an hour. Just do whatever you want.â Upon hearing this, Sun Ronghaiâs eyes lit up.
âThis is a job I can do. Give me the cigarettes. â
Yu Deqiang didnât hesitate and threw the cigarette in.
Sun Ronghai held it in his hand and looked at it as if he had obtained a treasure. Then, he placed it under his pillow, afraid that someone would snatch it away.
âBrother, can you count us in? Just give us two. Weâll definitely teach them a lesson for you,â said the person in the next room.
âThereâs no need for that,â Yu Deqiang said.
âBefore coming here, I already inquired about Sun Ronghai in Cell 107. Heâs the leader here, and he should be enough. But donât worry, Iâll give each of you two packets later. If thereâs a chance, Iâll need you to take care of them again.â
âHaha, no problem.â
After saying that, Yu Deqiang looked at Sun Ronghai. â1 think itâs about time.
Letâs start now.â
Sun Ronghai nodded, then patted the dust off his body and looked at Lin Yi.
âI originally wanted to keep you guys here for a while longer, but theyâve already found their way to me. Thereâs no way around it.. Whoâs going to be the first to get beaten up?â
