Liu Tianfa clasped his hands behind his back, his face full of heartache. He sat in front of the glass window, picked up the phone, and said,"Zhou Cheng, it's been hard on you these past few days.”
"Brother-in-law, as long as you're fine, these few days are nothing. Even if you let me stay for a while longer, it won't be a problem.”Although Zhou Cheng said that, he was already eager to get out. He did not want to stay in this damn place for even a minute. He had been in prison for a few days, unable to sleep well or eat well. He was often bullied by the old foxes inside. It was not to mention how bitter it was.
With a bitter face, he said," Brother-in-law, those bastards said that I was sentenced to five years in prison according to the law. I didn't take it seriously. I knew that you were amazing. You came to take me back in just three days."”
Liu Tianfa frowned and said,""I came to visit you this time, not to take you out.”
"What?"
Zhou Cheng fell from heaven to hell. He said excitedly,"Brother-in-law, what do you mean? Didn't you say that as long as you're safe, you'll definitely be able to ensure that I'm safe?”
"Although that's what you said, the situation is a little serious. Who would have thought that Zhang Jiang would betray me and hand the evidence to the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau?”Liu Tianfa said bitterly," So, it will take some time to build connections. Zhou Cheng, be patient. Don't be impatient. As long as the factory is here, the position of sales manager will always be yours.”
"Brother-in-law, time waits for no one. I've had enough.”Zhou Cheng couldn't take it in. He shook his head and said," I don't care. I want to go out."”
"Didn't you just say that it wouldn't be a problem even if you stayed for a while longer?" Liu Tianfa's old face stiffened. It's only been a few days, and you can't hold it in anymore?"
"But…" Zhou Cheng stuttered," Brother-in-law, you don't know what it's like inside. It's really bitter. I'll lose a year of my life for every day I stay here." It was you who guaranteed that I would take all the responsibility for you. You can't burn the bridge after you've crossed it. You're fine now and you don't care about me.”
"Zhou Cheng, what are you talking about?" Liu Tianfa scolded," All these years, when have I ever mistreated you? You've enjoyed everything that I've enjoyed. If he couldn't hold it in after suffering such a small grievance, how could he do big things in the future? Do you think I'm living comfortably outside? Aren't I still bowing down to others and serving those officials? If they don't do anything, what can I do?”
Zhou Cheng lowered his head and did not speak.
Liu Tianfa let out a long sigh, and his tone softened a little.""Don't worry, we're family. How can brother-in-law leave you alone? Besides, even if you can't save it, it'll only be five years. With the money you've earned over the years, it'll be enough to start a business five years later.”
Brother-in-law, what did you say?" Zhou Cheng raised his head and stared at Liu Tianfa.
"Why are you staring at me? I was just saying." Liu Tianfa's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt." Alright, visiting hours are almost up. I will try my best to think of a way. As long as I have time, I will come back to see you. That's all for today."”
"Liu Tianfa, you bastard, you are worse than a beast!”Zhou Cheng cursed angrily, but Liu Tianfa had already put down the phone and left behind his back. He didn't hear anything.
Poor Zhou Cheng was escorted back by the prison guards.
Zhou Cheng's expression was uncertain. After being with Liu Tianfa for so many years, he knew his brother-in-law's personality and mentality all too well.
In terms of scheming, Liu Tianfa was the most vicious. In terms of methods, Liu Tianfa was the most ruthless.
Zhou Cheng asked himself, he was at most a bit hateful, compared to Liu Tianfa, he was simply inferior.
What he said just now clearly meant that he wanted him to go to jail for five years.
Five years!
How many five years of a person's life could be wasted?
He was still young and hadn't enjoyed his life. By the time he left, his hair was already white.
Zhou Cheng was filled with regret. He shouldn't have believed Liu Tianfa's words. Even if he had to die, he would have dragged him down with him.
"Bastard, since you're heartless, then don't blame me for being heartless!”Zhou Cheng clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were filled with hatred." Even if you let me go to jail for five years, I won't let you have it easy!”
Naturally, everyone knew that Zhou Cheng had been sentenced. In order to prove his innocence and selflessness, Liu Tianfa not only posted a notice in the factory, but also held a special meeting to clean up the tax evasion and put all the blame on Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng's popularity was not good to begin with. No one would be sad if he went to jail.
Han Ye had been collecting evidence of Liu Tianfa's crimes for the past few days. However, he had only been back in town for a few months, so he did not know much about Liu Tianfa. Moreover, Liu Tianfa had been in business for many years and had a solid network of connections. Even if he really had something to hide, no one would expose it.
After Su Xueqing got off work, she told Han Ye about what happened in the factory. Han Ye could not help but spit."He's simply Yue Buqun of the current era!"
"I didn't expect Liu Tianfa to be so vicious. He even used his own brother-in-law as a stepping stone. For his own sake, he would give up on anyone.”While Su Xueqing cursed, she was also very worried." Han Ye, whether you listen or not, I still have to say it. I don't know what happened to you all these years, but as the saying goes, a strong dragon can't fight a local snake. Liu Tianfa is that snake. We're all small fries, we can't fight him. Listen to my advice. Let's leave and stay far away, okay?”
Han Ye knew that Su Xueqing was worried about his comfort, so he said gently,""Sister Qing, we have to take revenge for our parents. Liu Tianfa is indeed a local snake, but a strong dragon is a strong dragon. If he can't even defeat a shameless snake, what right does he have to call himself a dragon? Don't worry, I'll be fine. After Zhou Cheng goes, it'll be Liu Tianfa's turn soon.”
She did not know if it was an illusion or something else, but Su Xueqing felt that at this moment, Han Ye's body actually had a domineering king's aura. He looked down on the world with disdain, making people subconsciously submit.
However, this feeling also made Su Xueqing feel that she could no longer see her childhood sweetheart's younger brother clearly.
At this moment, Han Ye's phone rang. When he saw an unknown number, he couldn't help but frown."Hello, who is it?"
"Zhou Cheng wants to see you." A hoarse voice came from the phone.
"Why should I go see him?" Han Ye asked.
"He knew you would say that." That person said," But he also said that if you go, it will definitely be good for you. It's about Liu Tianfa.”
"Alright, I want to know what Zhou Cheng wants to tell me.”Han Ye's expression changed and he hung up." Sister Qing, I'm going out for a while. You should rest early."”
"It's cold outside. Put on some clothes and go out.”Su Xueqing took a coat and handed it to Han Ye." Be careful. I don't want anything to happen to you."”
Han Ye gave her a reassuring smile and left.
In the detention center, Han Ye looked at Zhou Cheng expressionlessly and said,"I didn't expect that you could still get someone to call me over even after you're in prison. You're quite capable.”
"Haha, there's no need to mock me. I can only admit that I'm unlucky to have fallen to this state today.”Zhou Cheng was either mocking himself or snorted coldly." I've been in town for so many years. It's not difficult to find someone to pass on a message.”
"You didn't call me here to show off your ability, did you?”Han Ye asked.
"Of course not." Zhou Cheng shook his head and stared at Han Ye." I can tell you some things about Liu Tianfa. If this matter is exposed, he will definitely go to jail. However, it depends on whether you have the ability to expose his crimes."”
"Aren't you two a family? Why are you helping me instead?" Han Ye asked with a faint smile," Weren't you hoping that your brother-in-law would get someone to let you go?”
"Hmph, he really thinks I'm a fool. The evidence is conclusive. How can I let him go just like that? I'm afraid I'll really have to be imprisoned for five years.”Zhou Cheng's face flashed with resentment." What family? At the critical moment, aren't you the most important? Moreover, it was Liu Tianfa, this heartless thing. I have seen many tricks like burning bridges after crossing the river. I just didn't expect that he would be pecked blind by birds all day long. I want him to pay the price!”
"Oh? There are conditions for this price, right?”Han Ye didn't believe that there was such a thing as a free lunch in this world.
"Han Ye, you're really not the child from back then.”Zhou Cheng smiled strangely." My condition is that you help me get rid of my crimes and return my freedom.”
"I can't do it." Han Ye rejected him directly. It wasn't that he didn't have the ability. If he really wanted to let someone out, he could still do it. However, on the one hand, Han Ye was unwilling to beg for those years. On the other hand, Zhou Cheng was not a good person to begin with. Wouldn't releasing him be equivalent to harming society?
"Don't pretend. With such brilliant medical skills, not only did you manage to establish a relationship with Dai Zongsheng and the Dai family's young miss, you even almost got Liu Tianfa involved. Do you think I'll believe that you're incapable?”Zhou Cheng wasn't a three-year-old child, so he wasn't so gullible." Anyway, this is my condition.”
"I'm sorry, I really can't do it." Han Ye refused again without thinking.
"You…" Zhou Cheng's expression stiffened and he said fiercely," Alright, then I'll take a step back. I won't be released, but you have to at least help me reduce my crimes by half and reduce my jail time by a few years. This is my bottom line. You have to know that the person who harmed your parents is Liu Tianfa, not me. It's not worth it to give up the chance to make Liu Tianfa fall just because you're targeting me.”
"You're quite smart." Han Ye's lips curled into a faint smile. He had guessed that Zhou Cheng would definitely give in because he had no other way out. He could only use himself to suppress Liu Tianfa.
However, although Zhou Cheng was a little shameless, he did not do anything too bad. He should not have been sentenced to five years in prison in the first place. If they could really expose Liu Tianfa, then the tax evasion would naturally be related to him. Zhou Cheng would not be the mastermind, and his crime would naturally be reduced.
Letting him go to jail for a few years was also a lesson.
" Then we'll have to see if what you're saying is really a blow to Liu Tianfa," Han Ye said.”
"Hmph, as long as you have the ability to do it, it won't just be a blow. It'll be a death sentence for Liu Tianfa!”Zhou Cheng sneered." Three years ago, there was a problem with the machines in the factory, resulting in an explosion, which caused ten deaths and seven injuries. It was a big news in the entire province at that time, but in the end, it went cold for no reason. Liu Tianfa was safe and sound. Do you know why?”
"Why?"
"Think about it. So many people have died. If we really have to compensate them, the entire factory will collapse. Liu Tianfa values money more than his life.”As Zhou Cheng recounted the story, his face was filled with a sneer and disdain." Guess how much money he intends to pay to comfort the families of the deceased and injured employees?”
"How much?"
"The deceased will receive 20,000 yuan per person. The injured will be compensated for their medical expenses. At most, they will receive a bonus at the end of the year.”
