Liu Qingzhong smiled and spoke slowly, "The details of the matter are not important. What is important is that you are about to go in."
"So what? I am innocent."
I spoke slowly, "It's not like you can only live in the darkness."
"Hahaha, I like a straightforward young man like you, so I will speak openly."
Liu Qingzhong smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are clean or not. I can make you clean or dirty."
"Secretary Liu, if the surveillance recording here hadn't been turned off, you wouldn't have said these words, would you?"
I shook my head slightly and sighed, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I know that you are not the seventh uncle's subordinate, and you don't want to be Tao Ronghua's subordinate."
Liu Qingzhong stated his purpose, "You have only two choices, either become my subordinate, or be imprisoned for three to five years. During this period, I can also cause you to get into trouble, increase your sentence, and keep you in prison for the rest of your life." Can’t get out!”
"I had a talk with my seventh uncle before, and we want to open a new hall in Fumin Hua Niao Kai."
He added, "You can be the boss of a restaurant and open two restaurants."
"I have the manpower and the money. Do you want to be on an equal footing with Tao Ronghua? No problem!"
It's a pretty favorable condition.
But I'm still not interested.
If I wanted to be someone's subordinate, I would have joined him the first time I met Uncle Seventh.
"Sorry, please forgive me for refusing."
"Hey, what a pity. You are so talented, don't you want to find a place to show it?"
Liu Qingzhong patted his head hypocritically and kept tutting, "I know you can't accept it for a while, I'll give you a month to think about it."
"It's either a dark prison or a life of glory and wealth. If you decide, tell me and I'll come right away."
Before leaving, he put these words down, "Don't think about it for too long. If the Han sword is identified, I won't be able to save you."
It was obvious that he could be identified at any time and kill me.
I was sent back.
In the cell, I sat on the bed, tossing and turning.
Maybe because it was daytime, I couldn't sleep.
The cell had only one vent, making it difficult for me to see light.
Why did Liu Qingzhong do so brilliantly?
Force me to follow him?
It was obvious that he allowed Tao Ronghua to smuggle... No, he even instructed Tao Ronghua to smuggle again.
He is the villain, but he can blame others at will?
"Shen Fan, someone is looking for you."
I was taken back to the room.
The person who came this time was pretty much what I imagined - Chen Cheng.
"Shen Fan, are you okay?"
Chen Cheng grabbed my hand and said worriedly.
"I'm fine. The police will probably investigate."
I deliberately pretended to be okay and smiled.
"Lu Yunchuan and Xiao Chen Xiaoluo have already gone to withdraw the money. We can temporarily bail you out."
Chen Cheng's eyes were full of anxiety as he said, "Come out first and then talk."
I almost forgot there was such a thing as bail.
Hearing this, I was relieved, at least I didn't have to sit still in the cell.
"Thanks."
I nodded slightly.
At this time, I really thought that I had a month to think outside.
But... after I was released on bail the next day, Chen Cheng told me another news.
When I walked out of the police station, Chen Cheng was dragging his suitcase.
Behind him, Lu Yunchuan, Xiao Chen, and Xiao Luo also helped carry bags and suitcases.
"What's wrong?"
I looked puzzled.
"The landlord said he would give us back the rent, and this month's rent and deposit were all refunded to us!"
When I heard this, I immediately understood—Liu Qingzhong did it.
"Have you looked for another place? There must be something you can rent, right?"
I asked, "We have money now... can we buy a set?"
Chen Cheng shook his head.
"My ancestral house can be temporarily used by you, Brother Shen."
Lu Yunchuan said, "It's just a little far from the urban area of Hezhou."
"Thank you."
I nodded slightly and took the bus with them to the suburbs of Hezhou.
Lu Yunchuan's ancestral house is in a village and is very ancient.
The space is large, but the voltage is unstable and the water supply is often cut off.
The room was very spacious, which was convenient for us to store our luggage.
I lay on the bed under the flickering yellow light.
Why did Liu Qingzhong do this? If you don't get it, destroy it...use this method of destroying everything just to target me?
Even the place where you live must be completely sealed off...
I have never harmed anyone in my life. Even when I was in the capital, all the situations Xu Jinhe set up for me were defensive counterattacks.
Only those who want to harm me will fall for it.
But at this moment, hatred welled up in my heart.
Liu Qingzhong, Tao Ronghua!
You two evil men, I will fight you to the death!
Closing my eyes, I recalled things from my childhood and various things from the past.
What happened when Xu Jinhyuk and I practiced together...
After thinking about it for half a month, I considered various arrangements.
Finally, I figured it out, since you want to drive me to a dead end, I will use all my life's learning to get rid of you!
First, we must capture Tao Ronghua.
Remove Liu Qingzhong's right-hand man and then pull him down!
After living in the old house for half a month, I stayed behind closed doors almost every day.
Chen Cheng was very worried and came to see me often.
"Chen Cheng."
In the morning half a month later, I took the initiative to walk out of the room and found Chen Cheng.
"Are you normal?"
Chen Cheng looked surprised when he saw me.
"That's about it, we should go back."
I sighed and spoke slowly.
"Go back? Aren't they still investigating over there?"
Chen Cheng looked shocked.
I pulled Chen Cheng to the corner and said, "Let me ask you a question."
"Do you believe me?"
Chen Cheng nodded slightly when he heard this.
"Even if you can't understand what I'm going to do next, don't ask any more questions."
I continued, "Can you continue to watch the hall for me?"
"This... just tell me if you have anything to do?"
Chen Cheng became anxious instead, "You have been abnormal for more than half a month!"
I actually don't want Chen Cheng to be involved in what's going to happen next, because it might be dangerous.
She just needs to wait and keep an eye on the store for me. There should be enough before I finish this, and I can even replenish some.
"I don't want you to take risks with me."
I said and sighed slightly.
"Shen Fan, I hope you understand that since we live together, we..."
There were tears in Chen Cheng's eyes, "No matter how dangerous it is, you can't just abandon me like this!"
As she said this, she put her forehead against mine.
"Promise me that nothing about what happens next will be revealed to the outside world."
I spoke slowly and in a low voice, "Otherwise, neither of us will survive!"
"If you want to die, let's die together!"
Based on Chen Cheng's words, I decided to take Chen Cheng with me to play a big game with Liu Qingzhong!
