As he drove out of the compound, with the upright armed police standing guard behind him, Zhou Shaohua took out his phone and made a call before even merging onto the main road.

Making a phone call while driving.

They really don't follow traffic rules.

"Mr. Zhou."

The rearview mirror reflected Zhou Shaohua's cruel gaze, but his tone was gentle and mild. Over the radio waves, the person on the other end of the phone would certainly not notice anything amiss.

"Chairman Fan, there's a task I need to ask you to do."

Important figures can't do everything themselves.

"Young Master Zhou, please give your instructions."

Fan Wanli was very straightforward and humble. The social classes of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants were not on the same level, especially during this extraordinary time.

After all, everyone now thinks that the inspection team is here for Greenland, a star enterprise in Shacheng.

"Go and take care of someone. Zhang Zhongquan. The homeowner you bribed to withdraw their lawsuit."

Zhou Shaohua's words were concise and to the point.

Get it done.

This word has many layers of meaning.

Having collaborated for so long, there's no need to explain too clearly.

If partners don't even have this much understanding, then they'll make a fool of themselves.

Fan Wanli didn't hesitate for a moment, nor did he even ask why. His response was equally straightforward: "Okay."

Would an elephant mind stepping on an ant?

Certainly not.

When they land, they never lower their heads.

Upon hearing the other party's immediate agreement, Zhou Shaohua gripped the steering wheel with one hand, a chilling smile curving his lips.

Unfortunately, Fan Wanli still couldn't see it.

"I am from the Southern School."

He added.

Southern School?

Nanmen Police Station?

Fan Wanli frowned slightly. Stepping on an ant was insignificant, but if one had to cross mountains and valleys...

Isn't that a bit too much of a waste?
"Then someone comes out..."

"Do not."

Zhou Shaohua's voice was firm and resolute, with an undeniable tone: "I'm saying, now."

So impatient?

Yes.

People need to learn from education.

How did that bricklayer get out last time?
Once a decision is made, action must be taken immediately.

"Young Master Zhou, during this special period, isn't it inappropriate to be too conspicuous?"

"This person has high blood pressure."

Upon hearing this, Fan Wanli said nothing more and simply hummed in agreement.

"understood."

Zhou Shaohua put down his phone and finally focused on driving, staring at the evening rush hour traffic. The light in his eyes was like a morgue light bulb, cold and piercing.

Southern School.

"He's my husband, why can't I go in? He's not a criminal yet, is he? Don't I even have the right to see my husband? This is an abuse of power, a violation of human rights!"

The phone call from the inspection team was undoubtedly a powerful reassurance, giving the anxious Mai Encui a sense of security. After calming down, she was indeed much more rational than most men. She first went to the police station where her husband had been arrested.

First of all.

My husband suffers from high blood pressure, so I need to soothe his emotions, relieve his stress, and prevent him from overthinking.

The most tormented people who go in are not physically, but mentally.

second.

Communicating with your husband is also very important.

There are some things that only her husband knows.

The inspection team helped them, and they also had to provide necessary clues.

Having regained her spirits, Mai Encui had a clear plan: first, she would find her husband and ask him for all the details, and then she would go to the inspection team and tell them everything. But to her surprise, when she arrived at the Southern School, she was stopped and prevented from visiting him.

"It's not that I don't want you to see it, it's just that you're too late. Don't you even know what time it is? Come back tomorrow."

"What time is it? Is it late? Does your police station close for the day? You arrested my husband, and I'm all alone. Shouldn't I make sure my child is taken care of first? Don't you have families? Don't you have children? Don't you have any humanity?"

The hot-tempered Mane Trinity, being rudely stopped here, simply vented all her emotions at once, cursing at the hats of the guards on duty.

But Comrade Hat wasn't Zhang Zhongquan; he wouldn't indulge her. Normally, when she wore this uniform to work, everyone treated her with utmost courtesy, especially since this was in her own workplace.

This is utterly lawless!

"boom!"

A relatively young man slammed his hat heavily on the table; he must have only been in the industry for a few years, full of youthful vigor.

What is the purpose of this job?
In addition to serving the people.

Isn't the most important thing that respect?
"This is a police station, not a place for you to run wild. If you keep swearing and insulting public officials, do you believe I'll detain you?"

Maientree glared at her, but wisely kept her mouth shut.

The other party is in the right and has stepped on their authority; they can certainly do what they say.

She can't go in.

"Then tell me, when can I see my lover tomorrow?"

"After 9 p.m. and before 5 p.m., but not at noon, we need to rest."

"Get in!"

How can we not rest?

Those who wear hats work very hard.

This is not.

Another person, in his forties, with a scruffy beard and wearing slippers, was brought in for some unknown offense.

"Fine! If you still won't let me see it by tomorrow, I'll definitely file a complaint!"

Maiencui had no choice but to leave. As she turned around, she inadvertently glanced at the guy who had just been brought in.

Both sides missed each other.

"be honest!"

The iron door opens.

Zhang Zhongquan's attention was diverted, and he instinctively looked at his new "roommate".

Although he came in today, he only stayed for most of the day and looked exhausted and haggard, as if he had done heavy physical labor.

Also.

Being gripped by panic and restlessness all day would break anyone's spirit.

After glancing up and down, and only briefly noticing the other person's unique slippers, Zhang Zhongquan quickly looked away.

There are all sorts of strange and wonderful things here, nothing unusual.

He began to feel lost and pray again about his uncertain fate.

"Boom!"

The iron gate was closed again. Okay.

At least I'm not alone anymore.

However, Zhang Zhongquan is probably not someone who is afraid of being alone. Or rather, in this environment, he would rather be alone. But since it's not a hotel, whether he can enjoy the "single room" treatment is not up to him.

He continued pacing back and forth, looking bewildered and suspicious, making no attempt to greet his new roommate.

He was impolite and not very hospitable, but people were very enthusiastic and struck up a conversation with him as soon as he came in.

"Hey buddy, what did you do? Did you steal something, or molest a woman? These are minor offenses, don't be so scared, there's nothing to be nervous about."

Steal something?
obscene?

Even crimes have their own hierarchy of contempt.

Moreover, you can also tell from these words your first impression of me.

"You're the thief! You pervert!"

Zhang Zhongquan, whose mind was already in turmoil, could no longer control his emotions and immediately retaliated with a vengeance.

The unshaven fellow, still wearing cheap plastic slippers, chuckled. He was much more magnanimous than Zhang Zhongquan, probably a frequent visitor to the palace. He didn't seem to care at all, and sat down with an air of nonchalance, lifting one foot and placing it on the "bed".

The dark toes were even more clearly visible.

"Buddy, once you're inside, you need to relax. Whether you're afraid or not, it's still just one day, so why make things difficult for yourself?"

As he spoke, he even tucked his hands between his toes, looking as carefree and nonchalant as if he were back in his own home.

Although he was just an ordinary citizen, Zhang Zhongquan was also an ordinary citizen with a basic sense of shame. His mind was already foggy when he saw the other party's slovenly and ugly behavior, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"Someone! Someone! I need to move! Or get this person out of here!"

"Don't waste your energy."

After picking at his toes, the guy started picking at his ears, a wicked smile on his dirty face. "Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will listen to you."

What did the doctor remind me of?

Avoid extreme emotional fluctuations.

Zhang Zhongquan leaned against the wall, feeling dizzy, enduring both physical and mental torment.

"Hey buddy, are you feeling unwell?"

The guy pulled his little finger out of his ear, blew on it, and then patted the person next to him, saying, "Quickly sit down and rest for a while."

Zhang Zhongquan remained silent, his breathing heavy.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you arguing with yourself?"

Whether he was too enthusiastic or had no sense of boundaries, when Zhang Zhongquan ignored him, he actually put down his foot, got up and came over, seemingly to help Zhang Zhongquan to rest.

"leave me alone!"

Zhang Zhongquan raised his hand and shouted, almost unable to catch his breath, the dizziness intensifying.

"Buddy, I'm doing this for your own good. You can come in and get out, but if something goes wrong with your health, that would be a real problem. You don't want your wife and son to become an orphan and a widow, do you?"

"you……"

Zhang Zhongquan felt it was just a fly, no, a swarm of flies buzzing annoyingly in his ear. He was about to hurl insults at them when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

How did you know I have a wife and son?

"Hehe, I just met your wife."

Zhang Zhongquan's eyes widened, and he suddenly seemed to regain his strength, "Where? Where is my wife?"

The man gestured towards the iron gate with his chin. "Look, he's right outside, but they're stopping your wife from seeing you. Sigh, they're really heartless."

"Bastards! Why! Why won't they let my wife see me? I haven't committed any crime!"

The guy stood a few steps away and started picking his ear again. "Buddy, save your breath. Why are you making such a racket? Nobody cares. Everyone who comes in here says they haven't committed a crime, and I'm innocent too."

"Fuck you!"

Zhang Zhongquan, unable to contain himself any longer, burst out with a curse, "I'm not like you!"

Most people would have been furious, but this guy had an excessively good temper. He was repeatedly scolded by a stranger, yet he didn't show the slightest normal emotional fluctuation.

Who said everyone inside is fierce, vicious, and like a wolf or tiger?
She clearly has a kind and gentle face, is amiable, and speaks very pleasantly.

"Buddy, we're different. I have no wife, no kids, I'm a bachelor."

As he spoke, the man turned back and sat down on the bed again, lifting his feet up once more.

He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Zhongquan, who was leaning against the wall, at a strange angle of more than forty degrees. His smiling eyes sent chills down one's spine for some reason, as if one were being stared at by... a Komodo dragon.

"That's why I envy you so much, your wife cares about you so much."

Zhang Zhongquan felt an increasing sense of unease. "Who are you?"

"They all call me Wu Laoliu."

Wu Laoliu?

Zhang Zhongquan frowned, trying hard to think with his throbbing brain, but he couldn't come up with a single clue.

"We don't know each other..."

"Yes. I don't know them."

Wu Laoliu chuckled, seemingly finding the position uncomfortable, and put one leg down before switching to the other.

"But when I saw your wife just now, wow, it felt like an arrow had pierced my heart. I think that's what love at first sight feels like."

Looking at the other person who was squinting and looking completely absorbed, Zhang Zhongquan froze, as if he hadn't heard clearly.

"What did you say?"

"I'm telling you, your wife is really voluptuous. That big ass, those big breasts—wow—"

His saliva seemed to be dripping out, and then he looked Zhang Zhongquan up and down, "Buddy, I'm afraid your physique can't satisfy your wife, right? No problem, leave it to me, Wu Laoliu."

He patted his chest and said, "It's fate that brought us together. When I get out, I will definitely take good care of your wife, and your son too. You can rest assured in there."

Although his wife is... big and burly, he would never allow anyone else to covet her; that's a man's inherent weakness.

Zhang Zhongquan went from being stunned to being shocked, and then to being furious. His face began to flush with blood at a visible speed, veins bulged, and his neck began to thicken.

"Say that again if you dare! If you dare touch my wife and son, I'll kill you!"

"hey-hey."

The other person chuckled again, their nonchalant demeanor only fueling my already inflated lungs.

"Buddy, let's keep the good stuff in the family. If it doesn't benefit me, it'll benefit other men. Don't worry, I won't let your wife suffer. And if your son is obedient, I'll be a good father to him, hehe."

Dressed in rags, disheveled and filthy, he looked exactly like a homeless man. Zhang Zhongquan suddenly remembered a pornographic novel he had once read. He gasped for breath, his eyes bloodshot, his gaze almost bursting.

He did not commit a crime.

But the other party is different.

Judging from the looks of it, he probably has a long criminal record.

It's not surprising that such a person would do anything.

"I'm innocent. I'll be out soon. Those are my wife and my son. Nobody can touch them!"

His words, spoken with the force of a lion asserting its dominance, were like those of a wounded lion with little time left to live, only the way he could barely stand by leaning against the wall made him seem more like a scarred lion with his days numbered.

"Hehe. Buddy, let's see who's faster. How about we play a game? Whoever gets out first has to crawl into your bed, hug your wife, and then... hehehe..."

"I fucked your ancestor!"

Unable to contain his surging emotions any longer, Zhang Zhongquan felt the dam crumble and burst forth. He could almost hear the sound of the dam collapsing in his mind. His eyes widened, and he was filled with a vicious rage, determined to fight Wu Laoliu to the death. But as soon as he took a step, everything went black before his eyes, the world spun around him, and he staggered a few steps before falling forward with a thud. His fingers brushed against Wu Laoliu's dirty slippers as he collapsed at Wu Laoliu's feet.

Furthermore, his body was twitching slightly intermittently.

"Hehe~"

It was the same old laughter again.

Wu Laoliu calmly put down his foot, stepped over Zhang Zhong's convulsing body, grabbed the iron gate, and squeezed his face into the gap between the iron bars.

"SOS!!!" (End of Chapter)
