2196: Stirring Up Trouble
“Old Lu really can’t be faulted, just that his drinking habit is a bit fucking annoying, you should persuade him when you got the chance.”
“Haha, you kid.”
Lin Yi also laughed, standing up and said,
“Uncle He, I’m off to take care of other things, you just wait here for my message.”
He Jiaxing stood up as well, patting Lin Yi’s shoulder, and said with a sigh,
“It’s hard on you for this matter, if you encounter anything you can’t handle on your own, remember not to overdo it and give me a call right away.”
“Okay.”
After a brief chat, Lin Yi adjusted his hat and mask and walked out of the office.
Upon leaving, Lin Yi didn’t head straight to the detention center; instead, he took a taxi to the local electronics market for a round before proceeding to the detention center.
As He Jiaxing had said, Lin Yi arrived without being stopped—just asked for some information and was let in.
However, when entering the cell area, Lin Yi was stopped by someone.
“Hand over your stuff.”
“Hand over my stuff?”
“According to the rules, you need to surrender your cell phone and some personal items,” the person in charge of custody said sternly.
“We’re all on the same side, do we still need to go through this procedure?” Lin Yi said with a smile,
“I’m waiting for someone’s call; can I keep the cell phone with me? I’ll give up everything else.”
“No, those are the rules!” The custodian said firmly.
“Then, all right.”
Lin Yi didn’t argue any further; he handed over all his belongings.
After a thorough check, the guard at the entrance let him in, seeing that Lin Yi was clear.
Lin Yi straightened his clothes and walked toward the cells.
Seeing Lin Yi again, everyone else in the cells shuddered.
Especially Zhou Changlin and others, who had been beaten up by him the night before, now looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.
Lin Yi ignored them and walked straight to the cell at the very end.
But before he even got there, he heard noisy voices and even laughter coming from inside.
Standing at the door of the cell, Lin Yi saw Huang Sihai and others sitting cross-legged on the big bunk, laughing and playing cards in a lively atmosphere.
“Well, well, you guys seem pretty relaxed, smoking and playing cards here,” Lin Yi said mockingly.
Hearing someone outside, Huang Sihai and the others looked up.
To their shock, the person standing outside was Lin Yi!
But when enemies met, the atmosphere wasn’t as tense as imagined; it was actually quite harmonious.
Huang Sihai and the other five men didn’t get angry; instead, they chuckled and said,
“Well, well, you can even come here; looks like you haven’t been dismissed yet.”
“Don’t worry, I probably won’t get dismissed before you guys die.”
Smiling, Huang Sihai approached Lin Yi; only a door separated them.
“I admit, I underestimated you; your connections are indeed stronger than I thought.”
“Looking at you guys, each with a cigarette in hand, food and drink in abundance; you don’t seem like you’re locked up, more like you’re here to enjoy yourselves.”
“Haha… Did you just notice?”
Huang Sihai shrugged his shoulders and laughed,
“So, you think just because you have some connections, you can deal with us? You underestimate society, as well as our Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce.”
“Heh, just a bunch of businessmen; if you didn’t have someone covering for you, would you be so bold?” Lin Yi said,
“Otherwise, even with a few more guts, you wouldn’t dare smoke here, right?”
“You’re really quite amusing, coming in front of us just to spout this nonsense when you can’t find clues?” Huang Sihai said arrogantly,
“You’re not here to try and force a confession today, are you? Haha, come on, try hitting me; I’m actually a bit scared.”
“How could that be; we’re in a harmonious society now, I wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Since you ain’t got the balls, then get lost quick, don’t disturb my comfort here.”
“You’ve got some big balls, dominating Pengcheng single-handedly; otherwise, you wouldn’t have the nerve to smoke and play cards here. If I can’t deal with you, I’ll just leave.”
“Just know your place, scram, scram, scram.”
Huang Sihai, losing patience, waved his hand dismissively, “Get the hell out of here and stop being an eyesore.”
Lin Yi smiled, didn’t say anything else, and turned to leave.
