Chapter 624: A Surprise

Sun Hongjiang hurriedly said, “You have to believe me, I really have money. If one million is not enough for you, I can add more, I’ll give you two million. Is that okay?”

Li Bald shook his head and said, “I don’t believe you. And even if what you say is true, I wouldn’t agree, because if I don’t cripple you, someone else will cripple me.”

What he said was indeed the truth.@@novelbin@@

Since he had already agreed to do it, he couldn’t go back on his word.

Otherwise, they could easily find someone else to cripple him.

He knew that the power of those rich people was beyond his imagination.

Spending a bit of money to get someone in prison to deal with him was really too easy, just like what he was doing to Sun Hongjiang now.

It was better to take care of the business he had agreed to without any second thoughts.

There were benefits for him in doing this job.

The other party had promised to help him with his sentence reduction, and, after he got out, they would give him one million.

Li Bald was too lazy to talk nonsense with Sun Hongjiang anymore. He walked over and stepped on Big Saber Sun Hongjiang’s kneecap, and then stepped on Sun Hongjiang’s arm.

Two sounds of bones breaking were heard, accompanied by Sun Hongjiang’s pig-like screams of agony.

He knew that one of his hands and one of his feet were now useless, the kind that couldn’t be healed.

Soon, prison guards came over, took Li Bald and his two subordinates to the solitary cell, and took Sun Hongjiang to the infirmary for treatment.

Arriving at the infirmary, Sun Hongjiang discovered that his younger brother Sun Honghai was also there.

Sun Honghai’s condition was slightly better than his, having only broken a leg.

“Brother, how did you get beaten up too?” Sun Honghai didn’t expect that even his older brother had been beaten up and was in a worse state than him.

Sun Hongjiang, in so much pain that he gritted his teeth, did not speak.

How did he get beaten up too? Was there even a need to ask?

“It must be that son of a bitch Xu Yang, not satisfied with bringing down our Sun Family, he wants to cripple us too, so ruthless!” Sun Honghai couldn’t help cursing angrily, his heart filled with hatred for Xu Yang.

But even with all that hatred, he was powerless against Xu Yang, now and in the future.

“It’s all because of you, if it weren’t for you, how could we have ended up like this?”

Sun Hongjiang wished he could strangle his brother. If it wasn’t for him, how could they have provoked Xu Yang and ended up in this predicament?

Ugh…

Sun Honghai thought his older brother would join him in cursing Xu Yang, to vent their frustration.

But instead, his brother was cursing him.

“Brother, I didn’t know he was so tough, so heartless and cruel!” Sun Honghai said aggrievedly.

“Keep it down, you’re affecting our ability to treat your injuries,” the infirmary’s doctor said.

The two of them fell silent at once.

Now crippled, thinking about the long prison life ahead, both felt a wave of despair in their hearts.

But no one sympathized with them, and no one would save them.

…

Stanley Prison

This is the most famous prison in Harbor City.

The criminals held here are the most heinous and vicious.

Enjoying this treatment were Mr. Xiang and Big Saber.

At the moment, Mr. Xiang was in the laundry room, washing clothes with a few other prisoners.

Even in prison, there was work to be done.

Washing clothes was relatively easy work.

It seemed that Mr. Xiang had secured a good job.

But a good job is a relative term.

To other prisoners, this was a good job.

But for Mr. Xiang, this was not a good job at all.

You must remember on the outside, Mr. Xiang was a big shot on the street, with a single word deciding matters within the underworld.

He was also a social elite, able to mobilize countless people to work for him with just a few words.

He didn’t even wash his own clothes, when had he ever washed clothes for others?

“Mr. Xiang, what are you dilly-dallying for? Haven’t had your meal?”

The leading hunk came up to Mr. Xiang, slapped him across the face without any hesitation.

“You fucking dare to hit me?!” Mr. Xiang was furious.

“What’s the matter, can’t you be hit?” The hunk asked, his face full of disdain, and slapped Mr. Xiang again.

Outside, Mr. Xiang was a powerful boss who could call the wind and summon the rain.

But here, Mr. Xiang was just an ordinary convict.

Wasn’t he someone to be manipulated as they wished?

Besides, Mr. Xiang’s sentence had been passed; he was going to be executed soon.

If they didn’t bully him now, they’d lose the chance later.

Moreover, bullying Mr. Xiang came with a monetary reward.

The person who had hired him had already given the money to his wife and child— a full half a million.

In prison, still able to earn money for his wife and kid, where could he find such a good deal?

“Don’t push people too far!” Mr. Xiang clenched his teeth in anger.

“I’m bullying you indeed, what can you do about it?” The hunk gave Mr. Xiang another slap.

“I’ll kill you!” Mr. Xiang couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to fight back.

But before he could, he was held down by other prisoners.

“Mr. Xiang, you’re not the Mr. Xiang from outside anymore. You’re just a dead man walking, a condemned prisoner. You still want to mess with me? Today I’ll let you see just how tough Crow is!” The hunk stepped forward, patted Mr. Xiang’s cheek, then told his underlings, “Pin him down on the table and break one of his fingers, but make it the kind that doesn’t show!”

Several prisoners immediately pinned Mr. Xiang down on the table, pulled out his hand, and singled out his little finger.

One of the younger prisoners said, “Brother Crow, this is my specialty, let me do it.”

Crow replied, “No problem, it’s yours then.”

For him, it didn’t matter who did it, he just wanted to torture Mr. Xiang.

As long as that objective was achieved, it was enough.

The young prisoner skillfully shattered the bone in Mr. Xiang’s little finger.

But on the outside, it still looked intact.

This was a job that required skill.

People without specialized training really couldn’t manage that.

Mr. Xiang let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

As soon as he screamed, his mouth was stuffed with a cloth.

The saying goes, “the pain of one finger affects the whole heart.” This type of pain was indescribable and could only be known through personal experience.

“How about that, Mr. Xiang? Does it feel exhilarating?” Crow stepped forward, patted Mr. Xiang’s cheek again, “From now on, I’ll break one of your fingers every day, and after I finish with your fingers, I’ll move on to your toes. By the time I’m finished, it’ll just about be the day of your execution.”

Mr. Xiang was furious, “Why are you doing this to me?”

Crow chuckled, “What do you think?”

A lawyer had approached him.

Based on the news he saw, the person behind the scenes was likely Xu Yang.

Speaking of Xu Yang, this mainland billionaire was something else— he had wiped out both Mr. Xiang and the Sun Family.

Mr. Xiang’s expression changed: “Is it Xu Yang who made you do this?”

Crow chuckled again, “Whether it’s Xu Yang or not, I have no idea. Anyway, someone found me and asked me to make sure you’re well taken care of before your execution, to add some ‘fun’ to your life.”

Mr. Xiang shouted, “It must be Xu Yang, that bastard! So cruel and ruthless! I’m already sentenced to death, and he still won’t let me go but wants to torment me further. I curse him to die a horrible death!”

Crow ignored Mr. Xiang’s cursing, slapped his forehead, “Oh yeah, the person who asked me to handle this also told me to pass on a message to you.”

Mr. Xiang asked, “What message?”

Crow said, “Who got you to threaten me? Regret it now?”

Mr. Xiang’s face contorted with rage, “No doubt about it, it’s that bastard Xu Yang! I curse him to die a horrible death. Just because I threatened him, he got me sent in here, exposed all my dark secrets, he’s too ruthless. He definitely won’t have a good ending!”

Crow scoffed, “If curses worked, you would probably have sunk to the eighteenth level of hell by now. Better enjoy the good life before your sentence is carried out. I’ve even prepared a little surprise for you.”
