Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 1365 The Immortal Sword

Yang Zi frowned slightly: "Um, girl, what does that guy do?"

"Watch your mouth. Who do you think you are, calling someone 'girl'? That's Xue Mei's brother. He's worth hundreds of millions just by walking away. And you think you can call him 'bro'?"

Upon arriving at the branch office, Yang Ying presented her identification and completed the detention procedures, then removed Yang Zi and Yong Zi's handcuffs and threw them into the iron cage.

As soon as Yang Ying and Zhang Juan left, Yang Zi stretched his wrists, stood up, and took out his phone from his pocket: "Silly woman, she didn't even search me."

"Hey? Chen Ke, this is Yang Zi. Yongzi and I are at your branch office. Could you please tell us to leave first?"

"What happened? Who arrested you?"

"I don't know him. He said he was in the military. Anyway, now that he's here, it's still up to you to decide what to do."

"What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything, I just had my eye on some old woman and wanted to hook up with her, but her brother brought a few soldiers with him. I'm going to report them tomorrow, they dared to point guns at me. Get us out of here first."

"No, we can't let them go. It would be fine if it were the local police station, but it's no good if it involves soldiers. It's not that I don't want to help, you guys don't understand the situation here."

Tomorrow I'll ask around and see which department it's in, and see if I can pull some strings. You two will have to suffer a bit tonight; I'll have someone bring you your coats.

Yang Zi put down the phone and cursed under his breath. After thinking for a moment, he made another call: "Wei Zi? Your brother Yong and I have some things to take care of here. We won't be able to go back tonight. Keep an eye on things at the bar. We can talk about it when we get back tomorrow."

"Bro, the power was cut off at our bar, so it's closed. I'm trying to find someone to ask about it, and I was just about to call you. You two should come back quickly."

"When was it pinched? Who pinched it?"

"Just now, less than ten minutes ago. Those guys from the power supply came, damn it. They're usually so high and mighty, but this time they didn't give me any face at all. They didn't even give me a reason. I looked at it, and I can't even connect it myself. It was cut off directly from the bus."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Zi frowned, thought for a moment, took out his phone book, flipped through it, and made another call.

"Brother Zhu, why did you cut off my electricity?"

"You've offended someone. You'd better find someone to settle this matter quickly. To tell you the truth, if you don't resolve this, your electricity won't be working, and coming to me won't help."

"Brother, we've known each other for a while now. You get the power on first, and I'll handle the leveling on my end, okay?"

"No way. It's no use nagging me. It's not that I don't want to help you, understand? Yangzi, I'm telling you this as a brother: whoever you've offended, hurry up and apologize. If they don't give you a clear answer, you won't be able to get through to the city bureau even if you call them. Your business is over."

"Brother, can you tell me who spread those rumors? And what do they do?"

"Don't you know who you've offended? What did you do?"

"Nothing much, it's just that a new bookstore opened over here in Doujiao, and Yongzi took a fancy to that old woman. He ran into her brother there today, that's all."

"Plum Garden? That newly opened courtyard at the intersection of the bean-lined road?"

"Hmm, I didn't notice what your name was. What's wrong?"

"Yangzi, Yongzi is with you, right? Considering we used to get along well, I'm telling you, you'd better run now. Seriously, if you wait too long, you won't be able to escape. And don't call me again, don't drag me down with you."

"Don't hang up Brother Zhu, don't hang up! I'll ask one last question, who is that?"

"That's our minister's house. Fuck." Brother Zhu immediately disconnected.

Yang Zi was a little confused. He sat down next to Yong Zi with the phone in his hand. Yong Zi asked, "Old Zhu from the power company? What did he say?"

Yang Zi looked at Yong Zi: "They told us to run, but if we're too late, we won't be able to escape. That's their minister's house."

"Isn't that old woman surnamed Qin?"

"Do you think Lao Zhu is just teasing us right now?"

Footsteps approached, and a policeman shoved two military overcoats through the iron cage: "Chen Ke gave these to you. Are you hungry? If you want food or drink, give me some money and I'll go out and buy some for you."

Yangzi pulled his coat inside and tossed it to Yongzi, then pulled out fifty yuan and handed it to him: "Thanks for your help, buddy. Buy us some bread and two bottles of water, and then treat the brothers to a pack of cigarettes."

The policeman nodded, took the money, glanced at Yang Zi, and said, "Drink less water. This door can't be opened."

Yongzi had already put on one of his coats, and Yangzi put on another one and sat down. Neither of them spoke.

The cold detention cell was quiet.

The room was empty except for a few plastic stools, and two security cameras outside the door were filming inside.

……

"This child loves to laugh, just like Xiao Hong." Qin Xuemei hugged Lele and teased her.

Xiao Hong looked at her daughter: "She's probably more like her father, more clever. Oh dear, I'm glad she had a girl, but I always felt that her mother-in-law wasn't quite right about it."

Xiao Wei laughed and said, "Nonsense, that's just your imagination. Haven't you ever learned how to steal an axe? My brother is just a kid, and he has his own soldiers too, so don't worry about it."

Chen Xiao said, "If it doesn't work out, you can have another one in two years. What's the big deal? I'm planning to have another girl."

Xiao Hong thought for a moment and said, "There are policies in place, and I would like to take advantage of them."

Chen Xiao scoffed, "The policy is just like that, why are you taking it so seriously? We're already beyond that level."

Chen Hui checked the time: "It's lunchtime, shall we go? Sis, what time do you close here? How are they going to eat?"

Qin Xuemei said, "Xiaoxue arranged it. They're working two shifts now, until nine o'clock at night. We don't need to worry about it, let's go."

The three little ones, huddled together eating cookies and drinking milk, turned around and looked at us: "Where's Mommy?"

Chen Xiao said, "We're going to eat something delicious, so you guys don't need to go. Aren't you full from eating cookies yet?"

"No way." The three little ones pounced on him, some hugging his legs, others tearing at his clothes, while Chen Xiaohui struggled to climb onto him.

Qin Xuemei asked, "Xiuer hasn't come back yet? Xiaowei, why don't you call and ask?"

Xiao Wei took out his phone: "They're living a much more carefree life than us. They've gone off somewhere with their classmates to experience life again. They're running around like crazy." He then paged someone.

After everyone packed their things, got dressed, and took the children downstairs, said goodbye to Xiaoxue, and left the yard, Xiuer finally called back.

"Second Brother."

"Sister Xuemei asked why you didn't come back today. Where did you go running around?"

"No, I'm in the dorm, hehe, playing games. I don't want to bother you guys if I go home."

"You're not coming home anymore, what games are you playing? That's not like you."

"It's so much fun! Ever heard of The Legend of Sword and Fairy? It's a computer game, but you can only play it on a desktop computer. It's too big for a laptop. It's much more fun than The Sims and Monopoly."

"You're going to stay home just to play games? Are they that appealing to you?"

"Hehe, it really is fun. I'll definitely be back next Monday."

"Next week is Lele's one-month celebration. If you're not afraid of getting beaten up, then don't come back."
