Chapter 623 - 623 Frustration and Anger

Yang Kai was so ruthless precisely because he wasn’t only in for the reason Sun Honghai had him sent here.

Mainly, it was because yesterday, a lawyer visited him, asking him to take down Sun Honghai.

He was assured that if he dealt with Sun Honghai, he wouldn’t have any problems.

Moreover, the lawyer also said that as long as he crippled Sun Honghai, they would use their connections to reduce his sentence, and when he got out, he’d be given a million.

As for who sent the lawyer, he didn’t know.

But he knew there was no need for the other party to lie to him.

Plus, he already harbored a bone-deep hatred for Sun Honghai; he was willing to do it since crippling Sun Honghai wouldn’t get him in trouble, it might even reduce his sentence, and there was a million waiting for him upon his release.

Thus, Sun Honghai ended up in his current predicament.

“Yang Kai, aren’t you being a bit too brutal?” a prisoner jeered through laughter.

“Brutal? I don’t think so. I’m in prison because of him, he’s the truly ruthless one. I’m just giving him a taste of what it’s like to be bullied by him!” Yang Kai replied with a smile.

“Hahaha!” A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

None of these prisoners were easy marks.

They didn’t care in the slightest about Sun Honghai’s predicament.

As long as it added some excitement to their dull prison lives, that was enough for them.

The commotion here was quickly noticed by the prison guards.

The guards immediately came over, opened the cell door, took away Yang Kai, who had been beating someone, and put him in solitary confinement.

Then they took Sun Honghai to the infirmary for treatment.

…

In another cell within the prison.

Sun Hongjiang’s fate wasn’t much better.

“Hey, young master Sun, did you skip your meal or something? Put some more strength into it.”

A burly bald man with intense facial features was soaking his feet as Sun Hongjiang massaged them for him.

Sun Hongjiang felt utterly humiliated, yet he could only bear it.@@novelbin@@

His cheeks were swollen on both sides, with fresh blood at the corners of his mouth.

When he first arrived, this bald man picked trouble with him, demanding shoulder massages and foot rubs.

As the former heir to the Sun Family, poised to become the Family Head, how could he possibly serve someone? So he ignored the bald man.

As a result, the bald man slapped him several times and gave him a severe beating, swelling his face and causing pain all over his body.

Only then did he truly understand that he was no longer the Sun Family heir but just a prisoner, one without any foundation.

When the bald man demanded he wash and knead his feet, he could only silently endure.

Otherwise, he was sure to be brutally beaten again.

“Bro Baldy, don’t be angry, I just started doing this sort of thing, you know? I haven’t got the strength right yet. Please bear with me!”

Sun Hongjiang hurriedly offered a smile and said words he had never imagined he’d ever speak.

“Bear with you my ass, if you can’t even wash feet properly, I’ll cripple you!” the bald man threatened viciously.

“Bro Baldy, I can wash them, don’t get mad.”

Sun Hongjiang, suppressing his humiliation, increased his pressure slightly.

“Damn it, are you trying to crush my feet with that much force?”

The bald man kicked Sun Hongjiang, sending him sprawling to the ground.

He then poured the foot-soaking water over Sun Hongjiang’s head, leaving him drenched like a drowned rat.

“Li Baldy, what the hell do you want?”

This time, Sun Hongjiang couldn’t take it anymore.

“You can’t even wash feet, you tell me what I want?” Li Baldy said with a cold smile.

“Is someone asking you to mess with me?” Sun Hongjiang asked in a deep voice.

At first, he had no suspicions.

Being bullied upon entering a cell was fairly normal.

But now, even after he humbled himself to wash and massage the man’s feet, even when he was chided for being too gentle or too rough, kicked, and had water poured over him, it was clear he was being deliberately picked on.

He didn’t know Li Baldy.

Therefore, there could only be one explanation: Li Baldy was acting under someone’s orders to trouble him.

“Hmm?” Li Guangtou raised an eyebrow, “Young Master Sun, you’ve finally realized. I thought you couldn’t figure it out.”

Sun Hongjiang’s face turned ugly, “Who asked you to give me trouble? Was it Xu Yang?”

His current plight was all because of Xu Yang.

Aside from Xu Yang, he couldn’t think of anyone else who would want to trouble him.

As for why Xu Yang, a mainland resident, could find someone in the prison to harass him.

That really wasn’t a problem.

For starters, Wang Xiaocong knew quite a few young masters from Harbor City.

Through Wang Xiaocong, Xu Yang could easily get those young masters to find prison inmates to make things difficult for him.

His guess was quite accurate; the basic situation was just as he had surmised.

Li Guangtou chuckled, “Whether it is Xu Yang or not, I don’t know, but the person who came to me had a message for you.”

He naturally didn’t know who it was since a lawyer had approached him, and he merely had some speculations.

He also believed that the person behind the scenes was Xu Yang. After all, Sun Hongjiang’s imprisonment and the Sun Family’s destruction were all Xu Yang’s doing.

Besides Xu Yang, there probably wasn’t anyone else.

Sun Hongjiang inquired, “What is the message?”

Li Guangtou said, “Who made you threaten me, and do you regret it now?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Hongjiang froze.

If before he had only suspected, with a high probability, that it was Xu Yang.

Now, he was almost certain that it was undoubtedly Xu Yang.

It was precisely because he had threatened Xu Yang after failing to plead for leniency.

Xu Yang then found the dirt on his Sun Family and brought about their downfall.

Most of the Sun Family ended up behind bars as well.

Of course, he regretted it.

In fact, from the moment the news broke, he regretted threatening Xu Yang.

Had he not threatened Xu Yang, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

He would still be the heir, poised to take over as the Family Head of the Sun Family at the New Year and lead the Sun Family to new heights.

But now, the Sun Family had been destroyed.

“What exactly does he want?” Sun Hongjiang looked horribly displeased.

“Heh heh.” Li Guangtou chuckled, revealing his yellow teeth, “Nothing much, just to cripple you, that’s all.”

Sun Hongjiang’s face changed, and he quickly ran to the cell door, shouting loudly, “Help, someone is trying to kill me, help, someone is trying to kill me!”

You have to yell about the most serious scenarios to catch the guards’ attention and make them come over faster.

But no matter how much he shouted, no guards came over.

“Drag him back here and gag him!”

Li Guangtou waved his hand, and his two henchmen immediately stepped forward, dragged Sun Hongjiang back, and used his smelly socks to gag him, nearly rendering Sun Hongjiang unconscious from the stench.

“You still think someone will come to save you? Dream on!” Li Guangtou sneered coldly.

“Mmm mmm mmm…” Sun Hongjiang kept whimpering, struggling to spit out the sock, “Don’t touch me, I’ll give you money!”

His cries for the guards had been ignored; even if he screamed until his voice was hoarse, no guards would come.

In such a situation, relying on the guards was impossible; he had to save himself.

“You’re offering me money? You’re locked up, your Sun Family is gone, what money do you have left to give me?” Li Guangtou scoffed, not believing him for a minute.

“I still have money in an offshore anonymous account. As soon as I get out, I’ll give you a million. How about that?”

Sun Hongjiang was purely bluffing; he had no money left, no anonymous accounts at all.

The Sun Family had fallen; all his accounts had been frozen.

Even the money in the supposed anonymous accounts had been dug up.

But without the bluff, what could he do?

He had to deal with the immediate situation first.

Li Guangtou laughed coldly, “Do you think I would believe that?”

He had seen the news reports, which stated that all the Sun Family’s money was illicitly acquired and had been confiscated.

Even the main figures of the Sun Family’s anonymous accounts overseas had been exposed.
