I said, “This one can stay out, but this one is an important witness in the case and I need to take her in. She’s the victim.” I pointed at Lin Yue’er and said.
The soldier was in a difficult position, and the two men discussed it and went to report again.
The troops were like this, security and confidentiality were high, I was used to it, so I continued to wait with Chu Xiaoxiao and Lin Yue’er.
With a twinkle in her eye, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly wrapped her arm around my waist and whispered, “I know what you’re taking Lin Yue’er in for.”
The camp was quiet, so when she spoke, Lin Yue’er could hear her very clearly.
Lin Yue’er asked, “Take me in for what?”
Chu Xiaoxiao smiled, “You’ll know when you go in, and Zhang Chao won’t sell you anyway.”
After a while, the soldier came trotting back and gave me a military salute. He said that Chu Xiaoxiao needed to stay outside and that Cai Xiaobing and Lin Yue’er and I could go in.
“Alright, you guys can go in, the soldier brothers here all look nice. Don’t worry about my safety.” Chu Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
Tsk, that was the right thing to say, but I always felt uncomfortable when I heard her say that. I could not help but giggle as Chu Xiaoxiao watched my face turn blue for a while and then white.
I put my arm around her waist and said, “I’ll be back soon, you can’t look at anyone else much.”
“No looking at others, but with this leg of yours like this now, we can only watch.”
My breath turned upwards, I felt my breath spitting fire, smelling the aroma of her body and touching that soft waist, I couldn’t tell you how wonderful it felt.
At this point I really couldn’t wait for my leg to heal.
We didn’t have much time, and after pinching Chu Xiaoxiao on the waist, I jumped into the buggy.
Cai Xiaobing knew the way and drove all the way to the place where Moon Man Mountain was kept.
I knew that in the previous few days, Yue Manshan had searched the whole of Ning Province and he couldn’t find the place where his son was being held.
He would never have thought that his son was locked up here.
It was also the safest place in the whole of Tong, and if he tried to force his way in and rob someone, no matter how good his kung fu was, he would be overtaken in place.
The confinement room.
Yue Manshan had no idea how many days had passed and he had no idea how long his beard was.
When a light shone on his face, it took a few moments before he slowly raised his hand to shield his eyes. The glare caught him off guard for a moment, knocking the figures of several people in the doorway into a silhouette.
There was a buzz as the iron door opened, and he couldn’t tell if it was his own ringing ears, or if the sound kept echoing. He heard a dull man say, “Bring it out.”
Two strong soldiers dragged him out.
Too long sitting on his knees had left his feet uncomfortably straight, and a tight pain spread from the soles of his feet, but he was powerless to call out.
If the Yue Zhengjun saw Yue Manshan in this state, they would definitely get me killed.
But I looked at Lin Yue’er at this time, who looked indifferent on the surface, but her fists were clenched tightly and her eyes were red.
Maybe Yue Manshan was really miserable, but the punishment he received was nowhere near enough to pay for all the sins Lin Yue’er had endured.
Yue Manshan deserved all of this.
In order to investigate the gun trafficking case, the old man gave us the highest authority. The local barracks could hold witnesses and fugitives for us. These people are not fit to be in guardhouses and prisons.
Moon Mansan was dragged into a small office and handcuffed to a chair with both hands and feet.
This room had only two stools and a table with a small table lamp on it.
He was tempted to shrink himself into a ball, but his hands and feet were cuffed.
I whispered to Lin Yue’er, “Seeing him like this, do you still hate him?”
“Yes.” Lin Yue’er said.
I nodded, “Good, then after a while, you will let it out properly. Don’t hold back.”
I well Lin Yue’er walked in back and forth, and Yue Manshan froze for a moment when he saw me.
Too long of not interacting with people had dulled his reactions.
After a while, he said in an airy tone, “Zhang Chao.”
“You still recognise me.” I said, “A month of confinement without seeing anyone hasn’t completely ruined your sanity. Your will is a little stronger than I thought it would be.”
“You’re not human. You’re driving me crazy.” Yue Manshan said sluggishly.
He looked like a robot now, his eyes fogged over.
“Right.” I said.
“Why would you do that?” Moon Man Mountain said, “Do we have a grudge?”
“That’s a really good question you’re asking. Do those people you victimised have any enmity with you? You are a jianghu, a man outside the law. Fine, since you’re outside the rules, I’ll use what’s outside the rules against you.”
“I am a member of the Nine Families, you will suffer retribution if you do this.”
“To make you believe in retribution, my education was at least more successful than your father’s, I guess. You didn’t surprise me though, after all these days in jail, you would only ask me a question about why instead of saying sorry to her.”
I moved aside a little to let him see Lin Yue’er behind me.
Lin Yue’er’s face was as deep as water, but a vicious light flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to pounce on and kill Yue Manshan immediately.
Yue Mangshan: “We Yue family members can do no wrong, how can snakes, insects and rats deserve my apology. Zhang Chao, you don’t dare to kill me, you only dare to lock me up, but you can’t lock me up for the rest of your life, my father will soon get me out.”
I rubbed my chin and said, “You really guessed it right, I’m going to let you out today. But what did you just say, snakes and insects? Who gave you the illusion of superiority?”
He had been locked up by me for a month, without seeing daylight or light, and during this time, someone had brought him food every few days to make sure he didn’t starve to death.
But he was in there, and no one spoke, and I don’t know how much time had passed.
This was the harshest punishment in the army. In the past, we had soldiers who were even wilder and more insubordinate, and as soon as they heard about the confinement, they immediately gave in.
It didn’t even take much, one day in confinement was enough for them to volunteer to run 20 kilometres for punishment.
This was the case with Moon Manshan, who was locked up by me for a month.
When he heard my voice raised, he subconsciously dodged his eyes and was too scared to look at me.
But after a while, the superior education instilled in him by the Yue family for more than ten years immediately made him arrogant again.
“If I did it, I did it, come and take revenge if you dare. Heh, snakes, insects and rats are worthy to cry out to me for revenge. Thunder and rain are all heaven’s grace, and it’s useless for you to disobey.”
Lin Yue’er was so angry at these few words that her eyes filled with red blood, gasping for breath, and her tears fell down at once.
She gritted her teeth and after a moment, laughed harshly.
“You have harmed me, and yet you have become a heavenly grace?”
Yue Manshan disdained, not even looking at Lin Yue’er, that look was like a billet made from his arrogant old dad.
Without saying a word, Lin Yue’er rushed up and cupped Yue Manshan’s chin, raised her hand and slapped him down.
Dumbfounded by the slap, Yue Manshan raised his voice and asked, “How dare you hit me?
Just as she finished her sentence, Lin Yue’er slapped her again.
Her strength was not too strong, and when she hit Yue Manshan’s face swollen, her own hand was also swollen.
But she was not afraid of the pain at all, crying and laughing as she slapped Yue Manshan left and right.
Even if he was a good fighter, he couldn’t withstand being slapped from side to side like that.
Yue Manshan stared at Lin Yue’er with his tongue hanging out and said fearfully, “I… I won’t let you go when I get out.”
