Prison Warden Cao Jianrong greeted Hong Dali politely and said with a smile, “Young Master Dali, may I know the name of the person you are looking for? I will ask him to come over.”
“En, the inmate is called Ling Mofeng. The one visiting is called Ling Xiaoyi. Help me check it out.” Hong Dali said.
Cao Jianrong nodded his head politely and took out a can of Longjing Tea from under his desk. He said, “Young Master Dali, please have some tea first while I check things out.”
Hong Dali waved his hand and said, “Tip him, 5000.” The male lackey immediately whipped out a stack of money and counted it carefully.
“Ling Mufeng?” Cao Jianrong muttered the name under his breath, wondering, “I have not heard of such a person coming into prison the past few days. Young Master Dali, please wait a while as I go and ask around.”
After saying that, Cao Jianrong jogged outside the room and dialed a number.
“Oh, oh, ah, ah, what, bastard!” After scolding the person on the other side of the call, he ran back quickly and reported to Hong Dali with his forehead full of cold sweat, “Young… Young Master Dali, there is indeed such a person. I didn’t know of such a situation before. Someone took him to Cell 205 without informing me…”
After saying his piece, Cao Jianrong felt that he didn’t have enough energy left in him to even stand.
If it were someone else, he could have lied his way through it.
However, Ling Mufeng was actually a person Hong Dali wanted to see. This had evolved into a big problem. At this time, Cao Jianrong had silently condemned the bastard who had hidden such news from him to a death sentence. After Young Master Dali left, he would immediately fire the person. Otherwise, everyone in the prison might suffer!
That was Cell 205, a room where only prisoners sentenced for more than 20 years were kept. Which retard actually dared to send him there?!
Although Hong Dali was not aware of this prison’s happenings, he could feel the unusual atmosphere. He said, “Which bastard actually dared to do such a thing. Cell 205… Hehe, this cell is definitely not simple, right? Call that person to see me within five minutes. Otherwise, you know what will happen.”
Tang Muxin also said, “Fortunately, we came in time. Otherwise, Sister Xiaoyi would definitely be sad!”
Listening to Hong Dali’s tone, he knew that Hong Dali was very angry now, and the consequences were very serious! Cao Jianrong ran out desperately as if his life depended on it. After a while, a roar could be heard along the corridor. “Liu Yu, you bastard, come see me right now! Within five minutes!”
Five minutes seemed neither too long nor too short.
However, it was obvious that no one dared to wait for their punishments just like that.
So, in less than three minutes, a frightened and pale-faced Liu Yu was brought into the prison office. The Prison Warden, Cao Jianrong, who was supposed to be sitting on the leather swivel chair, stood like a student waiting to get scolded by his teacher at the side, instead.
Hong Dali looked at the scared Liu Yu in front of him and said, “I will give you three minutes, you better explain everything that happened to me. Otherwise, tell your family to prepare for your funeral. Don’t think that I’m merely scaring you. I dare to do what I say.”
Since he decided to play big today, Hong Dali naturally didn’t bother to be polite.
Being a good person was difficult, but being an evil person was easy.
After listening to Hong Dali’s words, Liu Yu kneeled down with a loud pu tongsound. He said with his face full of tears, “Young Master Dali, Young Master Dali, please spare me! I really didn’t know that he was your friend, Young Master Dali! I’m still young. I don’t want to die!” When he came, he already knew that he was about to face Hong Dali, the only son of Hong Family’s Hong Weiguo. He was definitely a character that he couldn’t afford to offend!
Hong Dali narrowed his eyes and said, “Don’t bother talking about useless nonsense. You know very well what I want to know.”
Liu Yu’s whole body seemed to soften and fell on the ground, and he said while crying, “I will speak! I will speak! Four days ago, when I just got off work, I received a call from Bighead from Cabinet Society. He told me to take care of a person named Ling Mufeng. He didn’t say anything about the specific reasons, and neither did I dare to ask. Just after the call was over, I received a 10,000 yuan gift. I’m lying, really! I’m an insignificant person. The Cabinet Society’s Bighead is the kind of person I can’t afford to offend. So, I secretly arranged Ling Mufeng into Cell 205. I swear I didn’t do anything other than that Young Master Dali!”
“Cabinet Society… Bighead…” Hong Dali whipped out his phone. “Uncle Wang, help me get information on the Cabinet Society!”
Driver Wang Mingyu said, “Okay, please wait a while, Young Master.”
Soon, Wang Mingyu called back. “The Cabinet Society is a medium sized gang located at the inner road of Tianjing City. Their influence and power is average and does not come into conflict with us normally.”
Hong Dali then asked, “Who are they close to? These people would not cause trouble for Xiaoyi’s younger brother for no reason, right?”
“That’s indeed true,” Wang Mingyu thought for a while and said, “You can settle the things there first Young Master, I will get someone to find out more about this.”
“Alright.”
Hanging up the phone, Hong Dali smiled and said, “It seems that this time, we are gonna kick up a huge fuss…”
Liu Yu was scared to death, while the other people were scared stiff.
With such a thing happening under their supervision, let alone Liu Yu, the others would definitely not meet with a good end. Cao Jianrong had long cursed the Liu Yu and his ancestors over and over again in his heart for 18 times. If it weren’t for Hong Dali still being there, he even wanted to rush forward to kick him.
Standing up, Hong Dali walked toward to Liu Yu and looked at the young man who was soft on the ground. He took two hundred dollars from his lackey’s wallet and threw it to the ground. “Your medical expenses.”
“Medical expenses?” Liu Yu was obviously dumbfounded.
“En.” Hong Dali twitched his nose. “Take him out and break his legs.”
Soon after, three male lackeys stepped forward, smirked, and stuffed the money into Liu Yu’s clothes. Then, they grabbed his arm and dragged him out. Soon after, a deafening cry could be heard outside.
Speaking of which, if one wanted to be a qualified prodigal, one would need to be decisive to kill. Otherwise, if one were to let his lackeys experience trouble ever so often, then how can one squander to his heart’s content?
Therefore, Hong Dali felt that his decision was really necessary today. Today’s operational code of action was called “How to become a prodigal?”
Now that things had already been roughly settled, Hong Dali looked towards Cao Jianrong, who was standing at the side and waiting for his scolding. He said, “Alright, don’t put on a face as if you have been struck by thunder. What has happened today was not your fault. Let’s go, take me to see him. I wonder how he is doing now.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Jianrong’s body started to tremble.
Liu Yu, this bastard, actually arranged Ling Mufeng into Cell 205 and put him together with a bunch of heavy offenders.
The current Cao Jianrong could only seek help from the gods in heaven, hoping that Ling Mufeng was not mistreated too badly. Otherwise, he didn’t know what Young Master Dali would do to them. If the worst were to happen, no one could protect him anymore.
Thinking of this, Cao Jianrong quickly asked, “Young Master Dali, the environment in the cell is not that good. Why not let me ask someone to invite him out?”
Hong Dali waved his hand. “No need for that. I’m curious about the situation in Cell 205.”
Seeing that Hong Dali was adamant on going, Cao Jianrong didn’t dare to object.
Hong Dali was the master, it was better if they followed whatever he said. Otherwise, their ends would be miserable.
Not even two steps out of the prison office, a shadow rushed towards Hong Dali. It was Ling Xiaoyi. When Ling Xiaoyi saw Hong Dali, she suddenly burst into tears. She said while crying, “Young Master, I, my brother, he… wu wu wu…”
“It’s okay, you see, aren’t I here for this matter?” Hong Dali took Ling Xiaoyi by her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry, there is me here. Everything will be fine.”
Tang Muxin also smiled at the side. “Sister Xiaoyi, it will be alright. Hong Dali is very powerful!”
“But Young Master’s coming of age ceremony…” Ling Xiaoyi was still a little worried. “The time is reaching soon. What do we do about it?”
“We will need to solve this quickly.” Hong Dali waved his hands. “Let’s go!”
They quickly entered the building where the inmates were kept.
The first floor was still relatively normal as a whole. The prisoners here were generally not too evil, so the atmosphere was relatively better. Of course, this was only relative to the floors above. The floorplan for this building had the rooms on each side of the passageway. Therefore, the light from the corridor was obviously insufficient and had to be turned on during the day. The quality of the lights was not bad, at least the environment didn’t look too gloomy.
However, on the second floor, it was completely different.
The lights were flashing, and the voltage was not so stable. The electric lights flickered from time to time, just like how candlelight behaved when blown by the wind. It was like a lantern on the road to the netherworld, causing those walking by to feel scared.
The second floor was the floor where the heavy criminals were held. Most of them were mobs, those that often injured or killed others.
At least, Liu Yu didn’t go too far. If Ling Mufeng was sent to the third floor of the prison for imprisonment, then his end would not be as simple as breaking two legs.
Every five meters on either side of the walkway was an ice-cold iron gate. The iron gate was equipped with a grille hole for the prison guard to check the situation inside the cell.
The group of people walked through the alley.
From time to time, some inmates squatting near the iron gate grille saw the Prison Warden Cao Jianrong. They would suddenly laugh and say with hoarse voices, “Hello Warden Cao, when can you let us out?”
Cao Jianrong was in a very bad mood. This time, he was about to explode in anger. But then, he looked at Hong Dali, who was walking in front of him, endured and said, “We will talk about it next time.”
The prisoner was surprised. “What happened to Warden Cao today? Why is he so easy to talk with today?” Another said, “Hey, look quickly, that Young Master is so powerful, he has so many beautiful girls following him!” The third person was filled with envy. “Seriously, life is so unfair. Don’t look at them. The more you look, the more troubled you become, and the more you can’t sleep.”
Some people even shouted, “Warden Cao, can you help bring in a cigarette? When my family comes, I promise to ask them to pay you back ten times!”
Who knew that after Hong Dali heard this, he suddenly stopped. After he thought about it, he quickly ordered his lackeys. “Buy ten cigarettes, it will be useful later.”
