While something was going on inside the detention center, Ji Yang was listening to Zhou Chengqian’s briefing.
"That Niu Yong is the youngest son of a rising family in the Capital City, and he likes to play with women. After he took a fancy to a female college student, he had her best friend lure her to a KTV where he drugged her. Just as he was about to have his way, the girl ran out and was rescued by Guo Yuming, who happened to be passing by. You wouldn’t believe it, but Guo Yuming can really fight. He injured several bodyguards that Niu Yong had brought with him."
Zhou Chengqian sighed as he spoke of the matter, "Niu Yong spent some money and soon made that college student his woman. Then, the story was twisted to make it seem like Guo Yuming had forced himself on the girl. As a result, Guo Yuming was forced to leave the military early. It’s a shame; he was a good soldier."
"Didn’t the troops conduct an investigation?" Ji Yang asked.
"They knew Guo Yuming might have been wronged, but the Niu Family exerted some of their connections, and still Guo was discharged early and left with a stain on his record. Many of his benefits were canceled. After leaving the military, Guo’s life wasn’t good. He had a fiancée from his village who had made it to college and had left the countryside. That woman only had her sick mother alive, and Guo spent all the money he received upon discharge on medical treatments for her mother."
"Was that woman his weakness?" Ji Yang started to understand. Guo Yuming was an orphan; he could have confronted Niu Yong without a second thought. But he didn’t, remaining so submissive instead. No wonder there were such circumstances.
"Yes, and what you wouldn’t guess is that the woman he wanted to protect threw herself into Niu Yong’s arms after Niu Yong pulled out a big laugh of money."
There was such a thing!
Ji Yang truly mourned for Guo Yuming, not expecting such an outcome.
Zhou Chengqian said, "Niu Yong is twisted at heart. Guo Yuming beat him up, and he wanted to drive Guo to despair. With some connections in the province, he started to play this game with Guo just for fun."
Ji Yang said, "It’s clear that Guo Yuming has now despaired."
"Exactly, and I heard that today Niu Yong even brought Guo’s fiancée to the detention center. You know what Niu Yong is capable of."
Ji Yang couldn’t stay calm anymore; he really couldn’t comprehend the actions of these privileged young men.
"Can we rescue Guo Yuming?"
"You better think carefully. If you rescue Guo, you’re going to be up against the Niu Family. Their patriarch is on a strong upward trajectory."
"What can they do to me?" Google seaʀᴄh novel{f}ire.net
"Honestly, they can’t do much. They’ve extended their reach into the province because nobody has interfered, but trying to touch you is out of the question."
Ji Yang had his own plan and said, "I’ve got Guo Yuming’s back."
Zhou Chengqian responded, "Alright then. The current head of the Public Security Bureau is from our Zhou Family faction. I’ll make a call for you, and I believe he will take care of this for you."
Indeed, the Zhou Family had already established a considerable power base in this province.
Ji Yang asked, "Should we also ask Sun Xiaoxiao for help?"
"There’s no need for such a small matter. I can handle it myself. As for the Niu Family, they’ve overreached by meddling in our province this time. They really thought the local bigshots would be happy to see them sticking their noses in. Those who helped them will have to be dealt with too."
Local protectionism seemed to be strong in this province!
Ji Yang, on the other hand, was pleased since it meant that if he had offended some people, he wouldn’t necessarily get dealt with by others.
Zhou Chengqian quickly got in touch.
"Brother, everything’s set. Just head over to that detention center, and someone will coordinate with you to fish the guy out."
Ji Yang expressed his thanks and then headed out the door.
When Ji Yang arrived at the agreed location, a leader-like middle-aged man was already waiting there.
"Are you Secretary Ji Yang?"
"Are you Director Wei?"
After recognizing each other, Director Wei said, "I’ve understood the situation. People below have been running amok. Follow me inside; indeed, it’s time for some of them to be taken care of."
