Chapter 198 Strange Tenant
The scar-faced man on the right said, “You still harbor the hope of getting lucky? This is a case that’s very important to the higher-ups. Privately making the state-owned factories stop production is enough to make you spend the rest of your life in prison! I advise you to come out clean and stop resisting!”
“You want me to surrender?! Do I look like a fool to you?!”
Lu Ze looked at them disdainfully and said.
Confession could indeed reduce the sentence, but if they investigated on their own, not only would it take time, but in the end, they might not be able to find anything and he would be acquitted. “I already said that I’m innocent! No matter how much you investigate, you can’t find anything! Why don’t you believe me? Why do you have to waste time on me?”
“We have our own verdict on whether you’re innocent or not, but you can prepare to go to prison. Don’t you think so, Old Wei?” The scar-faced man gloated. “Do you think you can get out after coming in? Just the evidence provided by the anonymous tip is enough to make you suffer! If the evidence is true, you won’t be able to enjoy such a good life!”
“Scarface is right. I think you should pray, but it’s useless.”
Old Wei shrugged and said.
Just as Lu Ze was about to say something angrily, a woman in a suit walked in with a travel-worn Tang Wenyi. “The time is 10 minutes. We will record everything you talk about. If you break the rules, even if you are the third daughter of the Tang family, it will be useless.”
“Mom!?”
After so many days, he finally saw a familiar face. Lu Ze pounced on her excitedly. “Mom! Are you here to take me out?! Get me out of here quickly. They’re really annoying! They’ll follow me no matter what I do!”
After Tang Wenyi consoled him, she took out a thick stack of money and handed it to the civil servant. “Can we have a few minutes alone?”
Scarface narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you know what this is? A bribe! Ms. Tang, let me tell you, the entire corner of the guesthouse is filled with cameras. If you insist on doing this, don’t blame us for locking you up too.” “This is not the outside world. Perhaps you think that money can buy everything, but… We have to live up to our status! No matter what you say or do, as long as it doesn’t violate the rules, please do as you please. But if you don’t take back this money, someone will immediately punish you.”
Old Wei had never liked rich people who were high and mighty. If not for the Tang family, Tang Wenyi would have been arrested when she took out the money. She retracted the money awkwardly. That was why she disliked dealing with people who did not know the ways of the world!
“Ah Ze, don’t worry. You’ll be released in a few days.”
Tang Wenyi suddenly lowered her voice and said, “We’ve already made arrangements outside. They definitely won’t be able to find any evidence. Old Master has agreed to help.”
Lu Ze was relieved. Old Master’s actions meant that he was safe!
He pushed his luck and asked, “I don’t like these men. Can you get me a woman?”
His words made the others roll their eyes. He’s about to be jailed, but why is he thinking of trashy things!? they wondered. The recorder sitting on the sofa wrote this sentence without hesitation.
Tang Wenyi looked at the woman in the suit self-righteously and said, “Can you stay and watch over my son? Or you can just get any woman to come over!”
The woman in the suit looked at him like he was an idiot. Does this person really know where he is? Is he used to a Missy’s life?
“Ms. Tang, our original rule was that no visits were allowed. We only opened the back door for you because of Tang Boyan. I hope you don’t take advantage of us. If you continue to make these unreasonable requests, I will arrest you in the name of carrying out public affairs. Understand?”
“Tch! What are you smug about?! You can only be arrogant here!” Tang Wenyi did not take her words seriously at all. “The Tang family pays a lot of taxes every year. If they can’t even do this, what’s the point of having you guys!”
The woman in the suit raised her wrist to look at the time and said, “It’s time. Please follow me out.”
“I haven’t said much! Are you deliberately targeting me?! Believe it or not, I’ll report you to the higher-ups! Hey! Don’t pull me! I can walk by myself!”
Tang Wenyi tried to struggle free but was easily thrown out by the other party. Seeing this, Lu Ze was about to chase after him when he was brought back to his room by Scarface and Old Wei. So what if he shouted loudly? The soundproofing facilities here were quite good. There was no sound outside.
The woman in the suit returned to the hall. She looked at the recorder and asked, “What did that woman say just now?”
The recorder repeated what Tang Wenyi had deliberately said in a low voice. Perhaps she would never have dreamed that there was someone here who could read lips.
Old Master had asked her to be careful over and over again, but in the end, she still fell because she was uncultured.
Meanwhile, in an Eastern Borough’s residence.
“Transportation is convenient here. There’s a newly built subway line on the left. There’s an elementary school nearby. Every inch of land is worth money. Moreover, this house is facing south, and the lighting is excellent. The facilities and services are known to be excellent. If there’s anything you need, you can call for help. Although it’s a little expensive now, it’s definitely worth the money. Moreover, in the future, even if you want to sell it, you can earn a small sum!”
A bespectacled man carefully introduced every corner of this apartment while Zhou Feng sipped his water leisurely. Just as the two of them were chatting happily, a surprised voice came from the door. “Huh? Is someone finally buying this apartment?”
Zhou Feng turned around. “Does this sister live on this floor too?”
Sister?
The person’s lips twitched. Isn’t it a little too much to call an old granny sister? she thought.
The old lady covered her face shyly and said, “You’re really sweet-tongued, young man! I didn’t expect you to be able to tell that I was a beauty when I was young. Young man, you’re really not bad! If there’s anything you don’t know in the future, feel free to ask me.”
She paused for a moment before continuing. “The people in our neighborhood are quite easy to get along with. They’re like family. But you’d better avoid messing with the neighbor on your left. He’s a strange person. It’s rare for us to run into him, and he hides himself well every time. We’re actually a little worried that he’s crazy.”
“Why do you say that?” Zhou Feng continued asking, “Isn’t he antisocial?”
“That was what we thought at first. Then one day, when he was drunk, I asked him if he needed my help. He said that he had killed someone and gave me a shock. Then he instantly sobered up and rushed back to his apartment without saying anything.”
