Chapter 2136: Chapter 2135: 2136: Who Should Be Saved?

Lin Yi’s face changed, “There’s actually such a thing!”

The middle-aged woman was so anxious she started crying, “It’s true, we’re really at our wit’s end, officer, please, I beg you to help me.”

“Go back and wait for now, I’ll definitely get this matter resolved for you before tomorrow.”

“Okay, okay, thank you, officer, these people are really lawless.”

“Go on back now, I’m going to handle it right away.”

“Then I won’t bother you anymore.”

As the middle-aged woman turned to leave, it just so happened that Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin walked in.

“Lin Bro, what’s wrong, you look so upset.”

“You’re right, Yang Qifeng has really stirred up trouble,” Lin Yi said,

“He beat up several of the leading migrant workers, forced them not to make a fuss, and now they’re all in the hospital. The rest are too scared to show their faces, which is why they said their wages have been settled.”

“I knew something was off with their gaze, speaking ambiguously, and when I asked what was wrong they didn’t say, it turns out they were threatened by Yang Qifeng,” Zhang Zixin was so angry she could hardly speak, “Damn it, I’m going back to arrest him right now.”

“There’s no need to go back to arrest him,” Lin Yi said,

“He just tried to bribe me, gave me fifty thousand dollars, and I tossed it back to the detention center, go in and you’ll see him.”

With that said, Lin Yi turned and went inside, heading towards the division’s detention center.

At this point, Yang Qifeng had already been locked up in the detention center, and his fifty thousand dollars had been confiscated.

As for the future verdict, it would need to be further adjudicated.

In the detention center, there were two others locked up with Yang Qifeng.

One was for drunk driving, the other for assault and battery.

Seeing Yang Qifeng come in, the man in for a fight looked at him, with his leg cocked up, his expression somewhat idle.

“Bro, what did you get caught for?”

“Taught a few people a lesson, then got locked up?”

“Turns out to be a fight, we’re the same.”

“Don’t lump me in with you,” Yang Qifeng said arrogantly,

“I’m a contractor with assets worth millions, what do you have to compare with me?”

Hearing this, the two men’s expressions changed, and they immediately looked at him with newfound respect.

This guy must be a big shot, not someone to offend.

“Then you’re so impressive, why did you get locked up?”

“Ran into a little mishap, but I’ve already finished calling my big brother, someone will come to get me out soon,” Yang Qifeng said,

“You two don’t get any funny ideas about me, I’ve been to places like this more times than you have, be careful you don’t bite off more than you can chew.”

“Yes, yes, we meant no offense,” the two said with flattering tones.

Yang Qifeng, with his leg cocked, didn’t bother with them anymore because he had his own backup.

He had already finished the call; big brother said he would help him sort this out.

But the mere thought of this incident still infuriated Yang Qifeng.

Having contracted work for so many years, this was the first time he’d met such a blind fool.

Once he was back, people like those who didn’t heed warnings had to be severely taught a lesson!

Just then, footsteps echoed from the corridor.

Lin Yi and the two others stood at the door.

Seeing this scene, the other two inside couldn’t help but sigh in amazement.

Those contractors really had clout.

They hadn’t been in for even ten minutes and someone was already coming to get him out.

Such connections deserved respect whether one liked it or not.

Yang Qifeng glanced over his shoulder at Lin Yi, didn’t say much else, half-laid on the bunk bed as if he was there to relax like a lord.

Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin exchanged glances.

They thought this guy was really putting on airs.

Lin Bro had already taken care of it; were they still putting on an act here?

“You were acting all high and mighty when you brought me here, so why are you picking me up now?” Yang Qifeng said indifferently,

“You don’t cherish the opportunities given to you; you won’t amount to much in this lifetime.”

The other two secretly gave a thumbs-up, completely in awe of Yang Qifeng.

It was still these people who were formidable, daring to talk back to the police like that.

Thud!

Lin Yi didn’t waste words and kicked Yang Qifeng in the body, knocking him off the single bed.

“Still trying to act tough here? Did you eat the Fake Fake Fruit or what?”

Yang Qifeng was kicked hard by Lin Yi and rolled several times on the ground, the pain almost making him vomit bile.

“I’ve already finished calling my brother, and you still dare to hit me!”

“What the fuck does your brother count for, I’d beat him just the same if he showed up.”

The two bystanders were completely stupefied.

What was actually going on here?

Wasn’t everything supposed to have been taken care of already? Why were they still getting beaten up?

Yang Qifeng’s head was buzzing, and he covered his stomach grimacing in pain, at a loss for what to say.

Lin Yi didn’t bother with him and looked down from on high, saying,

“I already know about your pathetic affair. You found someone to beat up the workers, so they wouldn’t pursue the matter. You’re really like a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh, ugly with a taste for playing dirty.”

Yang Qifeng’s expression grew even uglier.

“You actually know all about it!”

“You think you could hide such trifles from us?”

Lin Yi turned to look at Zhang Zixin.

“How did you deal with his case?”

“Confiscated fifty thousand dollars, detained for 15 days.”

“According to relevant regulations, for bribing state officials with amounts over ten thousand, one faces up to five years in prison. Plus, he owes wages to the peasant workers and threatened the safety of others’ lives and property with multiple offenses punishable concurrently; he could be sentenced to well over ten years.”

“If he has other prior convictions, the sentence could be even heavier,” added Zhang Zixin.

“That’s even better,” said Lin Yi, “Later, you file a request to freeze his bank accounts and make sure the peasant workers get their wages paid.”

“Understood, Lin Bro.”

Yang Qifeng’s complexion drastically changed. Fines and detention, he thought, weren’t much; he’d be out in a few days.

But if he were to be locked away for years, wouldn’t that ruin the second half of his life?

“Don’t go too far, I haven’t done anything, why should I get many years!” Yang Qifeng argued defiantly,

“You motherfucker, don’t you know what you did, or do I need to spell it out for you? Giving you ten or eight years would be getting off lightly.”

Trembling, Yang Qifeng was so scared by Lin Yi he didn’t dare make a peep.

The three didn’t linger here, turning around to walk out.

Now that things had come to this, Yang Qifeng, of course, needed to be dealt with.

But for those peasant workers, the only compensation was money, and that was all he could do.

Unknowingly, it was the end of the workday, and Lin Yi didn’t stay much longer. He drove off to Wang Ying’s place.

During the drive, Lin Yi kept thinking about the system task.

He still hadn’t figured out the meaning of the two words “Redemption.”

The people around him were all right; did anyone need his salvation?

He really couldn’t understand what the system meant by “Redemption.”

Besides, given the system’s nature, 150,000 in Master level driving skills weren’t a small amount; the difficulty would surely be much greater than the last mission.

So, the question arose.

Whose fucking salvation should he seek?
