Chapter 23

At this moment, in the detention center's cell, Xiao Bing's feet were shackled with heavy chains. The cell had a total of six bunk beds, but now there was only Xiao Bing, which surprised him. He didn't expect to be placed in a single cell. Perhaps it was because of the fear of the Ye family that Xie Lun and Chang Huian didn't dare to harm him.

Xiao Bing stopped thinking about it. Since being locked up around noon, it was now evening, and no one had come to interrogate him. From these details, Xiao Bing could tell that they were intentionally framing him.

Was Xiao Bing the one who killed Duanzhi? Of course, he was.

If Chang Huian had solid evidence to arrest him, Xiao Bing wouldn't have any complaints; it would only prove that he was a capable and good police officer. However, now it was clearly a conspiracy between officials and businessmen, trying to put him to death.

If someone shows me an inch of respect, I will show them a foot of respect.

If someone offends me by an inch, I will hit them with a punch!

This is Xiao Bing's life motto.

The moment Chang Huian handcuffed Xiao Bing, he was destined to be Xiao Bing's enemy.

At this moment, Chang Huian was on the phone with Xie Lun. Xie Lun gritted his teeth and said, "Director Chang, don't kill Xiao Bing. Find a way to break one of his legs in prison, then sentence him to eight to ten years, so he can suffer in prison. I entrust this matter to you."

Chang Huian deliberately sighed and said, "This is a bit difficult."

Xie Lun, hearing Chang Huian's tone, said unhappily, "Director Chang, you have taken my money. Once the matter is done, I will transfer the remaining half to your account. With that, you can live comfortably for ten lifetimes."

Chang Huian smiled and said, "I have taken the money, but I still want to be the director... The problem is that Xiao Bing seems to be very familiar with the Ye family. I heard he is even the second miss of the Ye family's boyfriend. When I arrested him today, Ye Xinyi warned me. You know the influence of the Ye family in Jiangcheng... If I offend the Ye family, I will be in trouble."

Xie Lun clearly felt surprised and said, "Are you sure? How could Xiao Bing be related to the Ye family?"

"It won't be wrong. Why don't you check it out yourself, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Lun knew that Chang Huian wouldn't deceive him on such matters. Thinking of the power of the Ye family, Xie Lun fell silent. The situation had exceeded his expectations.

Chang Huian sighed and said, "When I agreed to you, I didn't know the situation would be so complicated. The reward you gave me is indeed substantial, but if I offend the Ye family..."

Xie Lun knew that Chang Huian was asking for more. To take revenge on Xiao Bing, he agreed without hesitation, "Director Chang, if you break one of his legs, I will double the reward."

Chang Huian's heart pounded. He wanted more, but he didn't expect Xie Lun to hate Xiao Bing so much. Greed should be moderate, and the reward he asked for was already quite greedy. He agreed without hesitation, "Rest assured, there is a skilled person in the detention center. On my territory, no matter how capable Xiao Bing is, he will have to fall here unless I want him to. Otherwise, he will never leave alive."

Xie Lun sneered, "I will wait for your good news."

Xiao Bing could tolerate not being interrogated, but he couldn't tolerate not being given dinner. Damn, he had seen shameless people, but never such shameless ones. Was Chang Huian trying to starve him to death?

Xiao Bing angrily pounded on the door twice, but no one outside responded. With no choice, he lay in bed with an empty stomach and slept until midnight. Finally, the cell door opened, and four burly men walked in, followed by a young man who looked foolish, simple, and naive.

Xiao Bing directly ignored the young man who looked like he came from a village. He saw that the four burly men in front were up to no good. He guessed that Chang Huian had let him starve to prepare for this moment. This bastard thought he could be easily bullied when hungry?

One of the burly men kicked the bed, causing it to shake violently, almost breaking. This guy was strong. After kicking, he cursed, "Damn, still sleeping? Get up!"

The other three burly men also surrounded him.

"Oh, you called me?" Xiao Bing sat up on the bed, looking at the four men with a cute expression, "What for? It's the middle of the night, and you're not sleeping."

"What for?" The four burly men looked at each other and laughed, "Are you really stupid or just pretending? They let us in at midnight, guess what for?"

"I can't guess," Xiao Bing touched his nose, "I guess they came to help me massage my legs, feet, and back, and scratch my itches?"

"Damn, you're dreaming! Brothers, let's loosen his bones!"

This burly man lunged at Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing dodged, and he missed. Then Xiao Bing hooked his foot, and the man fell flat on the bed. Xiao Bing's hands moved like lightning, twisting the man's arms behind his back. With two clicks, the arms were almost deformed, and the man screamed in pain.

The other three men were stunned and roared, lunging at Xiao Bing. One of them was kicked in the groin and bent over, and Xiao Bing twisted his arms behind his back. The other two were tripped and then similarly handled.

In less than a minute, the four burly men's arms were immobilized, twisted behind their backs, and they felt as if their arms were no longer theirs.

Xiao Bing jumped off the bed, grabbed one of the burly men, and threw him to the ground. The second man landed on top of him, the third on the second, and the fourth on the third. The four men were piled up like a human pyramid, screaming in pain and begging for mercy.

Xiao Bing casually clapped his hands and smiled, "Chang Huian really underestimates me. He sent you few scoundrels to deal with me? Didn't Xie Lun tell him what I'm capable of?"

"Hero, are my arms broken... Please spare us, we don't know Xie Lun."

"Knowing or not, it doesn't matter," Xiao Bing smiled, "This room is too small, and there's no place for you to rest on the bed. Just stay there honestly."

The burly man at the bottom of the pile was almost in tears, unable to breathe under the weight of the other three.

Xiao Bing ignored them and was about to return to the bed to rest when he noticed the foolish, simple, and naive young man staring at him. Xiao Bing asked, "Do you have something?"

The young man nodded, "Yes."

"Are you hungry?"

"No."

"Thirsty?"

"No."

"Fall in love with me?"

"..."

Xiao Bing was puzzled, "Why are you looking at me with such admiration?"

"Not... not..."

"Is it you or me? I'll tell you, I'm not interested in men, especially not in big dummies like you. Just go to bed and sleep, damn... I'm still hungry."

"Hey... you're Xiao Bing?"

Xiao Bing was surprised, "Do you know me?"

Unexpectedly, the big dummy said something surprising, "They told me to break one of your legs. Do you want to stretch out your leg and let me break it?"

Xiao Bing began to seriously examine this young man. The young man looked very foolish, about 23 or 24 years old, wearing patched clothes, and wearing broken shoes with exposed toes. His face was dirty, and despite his age, he looked childish, or rather, foolish. He had a round face and always smiled foolishly.

It was hard to imagine that such a foolish young man would say such a thing.

Break one of my legs?

Hearing this, Xiao Bing found it hard to get angry. Perhaps it was because the young man looked so foolish, giving the impression that a bad person had given a simple-minded child a task to throw sand in someone's eyes, and this young man was like that child.

Chang Huian sent such a foolish child? Was he out of his mind?

Xiao Bing asked curiously, "What's your name?"

The young man asked foolishly, "If I tell you my name, will you let me break one of your legs?"

Xiao Bing was speechless, "Just tell me your name."

He opened his mouth, looked embarrassed, scratched his head, and his face turned red.

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, "Such a kid, he doesn't look like someone who would break someone's leg."

"I can't count... but I know my name doesn't sound good. You can't laugh at me."

Xiao Bing, seeing his expression, smiled, "Don't worry, I won't laugh. Just tell me."

"Really?"

"Tell me, tell me."

The young man laughed foolishly, scratched his messy hair, and said, "My name is Erhuo, Er is the Er in Erhuo, and Huo is the Huo in Erhuo..."

This name sounded like a fool.

Xiao Bing was stunned, thinking he had heard wrong, and asked, "Say it again, what's your name?"

"My name is Erhuo, Er is the Er in Erhuo, and Huo is the Huo in Erhuo. People in the village used to call me Shadai, but I didn't like it. Later, they gave me a new name. I think it sounds better, and it's trendy."

Xiao Bing almost burst out laughing.

Erhuo, with a red face, said, "Can I break your leg now?"
