Chapter 1004:
“I… all right, I admit I was wrong, and I promise I won’t continue to misunderstand Tongtong in the future!” Ye Chen sighed helplessly, conceding for now. After all, he was in the wrong first, right? However, these women were truly aggressive. It’s likely they relied on their beauty to dominate the household, and even those who weren’t married probably controlled the men around them.
Beautiful women have the capital of their beauty. They often feel more superior than average-looking girls, always thinking that having men circling around them is a common occurrence, or rather, something that should naturally happen. These women always thought they were beautiful, little did they know, in front of Ye Chen, their so-called beauty was nothing but a pink-colored shell. Ye Chen, with little pity or cherishing, angrily shouted, “Get lost, all of you, or else don’t blame me for being rude!”
Hearing Ye Chen’s sharp roar, this group of inexperienced women immediately froze, especially seeing Ye Chen so furious. They glanced at each other and then smartly stepped aside, and under Dian Ling’s call, all retreated outside the room, leaving Ye Chen alone in the ward.
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Yantong, pale-faced and lying on the hospital bed, feeling extremely guilty inside. He tenderly touched Zhang Yantong’s face, smooth and cold like a pebble. The first words he uttered were, “Tongtong, I was wrong, please wake up!”
But unfortunately, Zhang Yantong could not hear his words. Ye Chen crouched down beside Zhang Yantong, giving her cold cheek a gentle kiss. By then, tears had already soaked his face. He hadn’t expected that, after just seeing her lively and active two days ago, she would be unconscious upon their next meeting. Ye Chen felt incredibly sad inside, gently stroking Zhang Yantong’s face, deeply regretting his impulsive actions from the other night, and even more regretting his abrupt departure.
What happened had already happened, and the consequences were irreversible. Ye Chen’s tears were tears of regret.
Outside, Dian Ling stood at the doorway, able to see everything inside through the glass on the door. She witnessed Ye Chen’s every action, especially when he kissed Zhang Yantong, which touched Dian Ling deeply. She seemingly saw Ye Chen’s sincerity and his remorse. She had long forgotten Ye Chen’s previous rashness, now feeling inside that Ye Chen was a man of emotional depth and devotion.
“Lingling, what’s happening inside?” The women who had been scolded earlier asked out of curiosity. They had only seen tears in Dian Ling’s eyes.
“Nothing… nothing!” Dian Ling turned around and walked to the side. Those women gathered around her, starting to criticize Ye Chen, portraying him like some heinous river and sea bandit. Dian Ling sighed softly and said, “Enough, stop it. Everyone has their own internal pain. What he shows isn’t necessarily what he intends. Sometimes, a sudden outburst from someone has its reasons!”
“Lingling, we can’t just let him off like this, can we?” A few girls nearby said one after another.
“Sigh, what else can we do?” Dian Ling sighed and said, “Don’t you all want Tongtong to wake up? If you do, then shut up!”
Dian Ling’s words were indeed effective. The few girls at the door stopped complaining and looked at Dian Ling curiously, not understanding why she suddenly seemed so irritable. Did Dian Ling forgive Ye Chen? That seemed impossible, right?
“Lingling, what’s going on with you?” Everyone asked curiously.
“I’m fine!” Dian Ling sighed and said, “I just feel it’s unworthy for Tongtong.”
“We feel the same!” Several women nodded in agreement and then continued complaining about Ye Chen, while Dian Ling helplessly glanced at them and turned to leave. The women seemed unsatisfied with their talk, still gathered in the corridor, continuing to berate Ye Chen.
Dian Ling stood far away, her gaze fixed on the ward door. She was about to become a statue, leaning against the wall, her eyes calmly gazing at the ward door. Suddenly, a figure leisurely walked out from inside, and the chattering voices disappeared, replaced by shocked and panicked eyes looking at Ye Chen. They were afraid Ye Chen heard their complaints and chatter about him inside.
“Who did it?” Ye Chen coldly looked at Dian Ling.
“Zhao Zhonghan!” Dian Ling folded her arms, her chest pushed up by her arms. She lowered her head, responding to Ye Chen’s question, “Z Province’s biggest drug lord, wandering between Yunnan and Tongzhou City in recent years. He has almost monopolized the drug resources of the entire Z Province. To combat drug trafficking, Tongtong took on the role of an undercover agent and got close to Zhao Zhonghan. Unexpectedly, during yesterday’s final arrest, she was shot!”
“Zhao Zhonghan?” Ye Chen frowned, a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes. His expression was already quite fierce, and he gritted his teeth, “I will make this person’s life worse than death. I will make him regret coming into this world!”
“Ye Chen, what are you going to do?” Dian Ling was startled.
“Zhang Lang!” Ye Chen shouted.
“Here!” Zhang Lang hurried in, tossing the cigarette butt from his mouth onto the ground as he ran in. For the underworld, the no-smoking hospital signs stuck on the walls were just words on a paper. Most doctors and nurses didn’t dare say much upon seeing them, and they could only turn a blind eye.
“Find out Zhang Lang’s details immediately!” Ye Chen said coldly, “Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find him for me!”
“Yes!” Zhang Lang didn’t say a word and rushed out in a hurry.
The events of last night, there’s a chance that Zhao Zhonghan is still in Tongzhou City and hasn’t left. As long as he’s in Z Province, we won’t worry about not finding him. Once he leaves the provincial capital, it might be a bit troublesome—not actually troublesome, just that it would take some time. If Zhao Zhonghan is still in Tongzhou City, we can probably dig him out within twenty-four hours. Sometimes, the efficiency of the underworld is much faster than that of the police.
Otherwise, how could the Heavenly Reversal Gang dominate the underground society in Jianghuai City? Without the necessary skills, they wouldn’t dare to take on this kind of delicate work.
Good news came eighteen hours after Zhang Yantong was injured. Zhang Lang personally called Ye Chen: “Brother Chen, there’s news!”
“How is it?” Ye Chen immediately asked.
“Zhao Zhonghan, that bastard, is hiding in a bar in Tongzhou City!” Zhang Lang grinned and said, “He’s on his way to headquarters with the brothers now!”
“Good, lock him in the dungeon for me, let me interrogate him properly!” Ye Chen said cruelly.
Nearby, Dian Ling seemed to have heard the conversation between Ye Chen and Zhang Lang. She was shocked that the person whom the police were searching for day and night was found by Ye Chen in such a short amount of time, while the police were still endlessly searching. Could Dian Ling not be surprised? After all, the police station is a government institution, and the Heavenly Reversal Gang is just a local gang. The abilities of the two are easily compared.
“Ye Chen, you… you found Zhao Zhonghan so quickly? Is it not a fake?” Dian Ling asked in astonishment, always carrying some doubt in her heart.
“Whether it’s fake or not, you’ll know once you see it!” Ye Chen smiled indifferently and quickly got up to head from the hospital to the Heavenly Reversal Gang headquarters. Naturally, Dian Ling followed him eagerly, wanting to see if the person captured so swiftly was really Zhao Zhonghan.
The two quickly arrived at the headquarters. At that moment, Zhao Zhonghan was locked in the dungeon, puzzled as to why he was detained by the Heavenly Reversal Gang when he had no previous dealings with them. He had always tried to avoid too many interactions with the local gangs. Depressed, he asked, “Brothers, have you caught the wrong person? I have no dealings with the Heavenly Reversal Gang, so why…”
“Hmph!” Zhang Lang snorted coldly, then scolded angrily, “You bastard, shouldn’t you reflect on your actions!”
“I… I really don’t know!” Zhao Zhonghan said helplessly, begging, “Lately, I’ve not offended anyone. I was just drinking in the bar, and suddenly you guys kidnapped me!”
Bang…
With a loud noise, the iron door of the dungeon was kicked open. Zhang Lang turned to see Ye Chen, he immediately smiled and said, “Brother Chen, this guy is indeed Zhao Zhonghan, take a look, see if there’s any mistake!”
“Is it really Zhao Zhonghan?” Before Ye Chen could speak, Dian Ling asked first. She naturally knew Zhao Zhonghan, as almost the entire Tongzhou City was plastered with his wanted posters. She was a bit surprised to see that Ye Chen had really captured Zhao Zhonghan. Excitedly, she said, “I can’t, I must call the police station and have them hurry to catch him!”
“No way!” Ye Chen immediately scolded, “I captured him, why hand him over to the police station?”
“Exactly, exactly, this big brother makes sense!” Zhao Zhonghan naturally feared going to the police station; if he ended up there, he might lose skin. He had a clash with the police just yesterday and probably killed a few. If he went to the station, wouldn’t they hate him to death?
“Uh… Ye Chen, what are you going to do?” Dian Ling froze.
“I said, I want him to regret ever coming into this world!” Ye Chen sneered.
“Don’t do anything rash, though he is a criminal suspect, he still has the rights protected by the law!” Dian Ling quickly said.
“Hang him up for me!” Ye Chen said coldly. In the entire underground prison, there were all kinds of tools for punishment, used not only to discipline disobedient little brothers but also for interrogating spies and captured enemies.
“Big brother, you… don’t do anything rash!” Zhao Zhonghan was frightened and at a loss, hastily said, “I… I don’t know where I offended you, big brother, why not name a price, let’s resolve this with money, what do you say, big brother?”
