Chapter 2134: Chapter 2134: 2135: Taking You to the Detention Center

“Redemption?”

Seeing the task in his mind, Lin Yi thought about it for a while.

He didn’t quite understand what the specific content of the duty was.

“System, what do you mean by ‘redemption’? What is the content of the task?”

[Please figure it out yourself.]

“Motherfucker.”

Lin Yi cursed in his mind, feeling that the system was becoming deeper and deeper, not knowing if it had reached the age of adolescent trouble.

Sitting back on the couch, Lin Yi repeatedly looked at the few words of the system task.

He had no clue at all.

He remembered the last task, which also came out of nowhere, letting him find the true culprit behind the scenes.

But there was an essential difference between the two; this one was even harder to figure out.

Because the scope of the “Redemption” task was too broad.

Lin Yi scratched his head and cursed inwardly:

Who the hell am I supposed to save?

Ding Ding Ding—

At that moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Zhang Zixin.

“Lin Bro, there’s some trouble at the construction site.”

“What happened? They won’t let you seal it off?”

“No, we got here, but the people at the construction site said they won’t pursue this matter anymore, and also stated that Yang Qifeng has already paid them their wages.”

“Wages are settled? Isn’t that a good thing?”

“But their behavior seems a bit off, and many have left; there doesn’t seem to be many people left at the construction site.”

“Whether their behavior is off or not, it’s no longer our concern; as long as they get the money, our task is considered complete. Just find a reliable boss in the future.”

Every time he saw such news, Lin Yi sighed, Ji Qingyan was truly the conscience of the industry.

Each project of Chaoyang Group may not offer the best treatment, but it was definitely not bad, at least the wages were never short.

“Alright, now that they’ve settled it among themselves, the seal might not be necessary. I’m heading back.”

“Come on back.”

Lin Yi briefly responded and said no more.

His responsibility was to help them get their wages back.

But that person named Li Cai still needed to be checked; if it was a misunderstanding, naturally, that would be best.

Otherwise, he couldn’t be kept around.

“Lin Bro, someone is looking for you.”

Just as Lin Yi was thinking about how to deal with Li Cai, he heard someone talking at the door and found that it was Little Zhang on duty.

“Looking for me? Who is it?”

“It’s a man, named Yang Qifeng.”

“Yang Qifeng?”

Lin Yi murmured a word and then remembered, it was the supervisor of that construction site.

“Okay, I got it.”

After responding, Lin Yi stood up and walked out of the office, where he saw Yang Qifeng at the door.

“Officer Lin, we meet again.” Yang Qifeng said with a smile on his face.

Lin Yi sized him up, “You wanted to see me?”

“Come, come, Officer Lin, let’s talk over here.”

Lin Yi didn’t think much of it and walked out with Yang Qifeng to a shaded area.

“Officer Lin, after you spoke to me this morning, I thought for a while and felt that I really did something wrong. Now that everything is resolved, I came to apologize to you.”

“No need to apologize, you didn’t wrong me.” Lin Yi said, “Just remember to pay the wages on time in the future.”

“I surely will, Officer Lin, rest assured, something like today won’t happen again.”

“Your word is good enough for me.” Lin Yi said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t, Officer Lin, I still have something I want to talk to you about.”

“What is it?”

Yang Qifeng brought the pocket in his hand closer to Lin Yi, smiling, “I came in a hurry this time, didn’t bring much, just take this as a small meeting gift, I hope you can accept it.”

Lin Yi did not take it, just glanced inside the pocket.

“Fifty thousand dollars?”

Yang Qifeng chuckled, not saying anything else.

Everyone is an adult; at this point, there’s no need to explain; everyone basically understands.

Lin Yi fiddled with his phone.

“Are you sure this is for me?”

“Yes, yes, yes, just consider it as a meeting gift.”

“That’s a pretty lavish gift, but I can’t accept it,” Lin Yi said,

“But I can take you to a place.”

“Where?”

“Detention center.”

The color drained from Yang Qifeng’s face; he never expected Lin Yi to say such a thing.

“Bribing a public official, the crime isn’t big or small; as for how it will be judged in the end, it depends on the judge’s mood.”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t, I didn’t mean anything else, Officer Lin, you can’t do this.”

“What am I doing? Now there’s conclusive evidence, and I even have a recording in my hand. Arresting you is quite normal.”

“I, I realize my mistake, I’ll leave now, please don’t hold it against me.”

Seeing the situation go south, Yang Qifeng ran off, but Lin Yi didn’t give him that chance.

With a kick landing on his body, Yang Qifeng face-planted into the ground.

“You’ve done the deed, still thinking of running?”

Yang Qifeng got up from the ground, dusty and disgruntled, feeling nauseous and disgusted as if he had swallowed a bug.

This guy is such an asshole!

I bring him money, and he still wants to put me in!

At this point, all he could do was find a chance to call his big boss.

Lin Yi didn’t bother with further talk with Yang Qifeng and took him back to the police station.

As for what would happen next, that was someone else’s business.

But whether he could be sentenced or not, Lin Yi didn’t know.

Such matters involved complicated networks of people, but at least it could serve as a lesson for him.

Just then, Little Zhang, who had previously called for Lin Yi, came to the office again.

“Lin Bro, someone else is looking for you, seems quite urgent, come take a look.”

“Looking for me again?”

Lin Yi mumbled, wondering how he had become such a busy person.

Stepping out of the office, Lin Yi saw a middle-aged woman standing outside.

Looking around forty years old, her skin was a bit dark, and her clothing was very plain, making her appear somewhat aged.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, he had no recollection of this person, seemed unfamiliar.

“Do you need something from me?”

“Hello comrade, I wanted to ask, were you the one who went this morning to get money for my husband?”

Seeing Lin Yi, the middle-aged woman approached, agitated.

“Collecting money for your husband?” Lin Yi paused for a few seconds, “You mean the matter of the unpaid wages for migrant workers?”

“Yes, yes, yes, my husband works on the construction site, and then they owed him wages for over two months.”

“That matter has been resolved; if you’re unclear on the details, ask the other workers, they should have all received their money.”

The middle-aged woman wiped her tears.

“We didn’t receive any money, that Boss Yang Qifeng had someone beat up my husband and a few other workers, telling us not to pursue this matter anymore. Now more than ten people are in the hospital, my husband’s injuries are the most severe, we don’t have the money to treat him, and we can’t swallow this grievance, so I came to report it.”
