The Taming of the Ruffian Hero - Chapter 227
Chapter 227 (He Has Died) Chen Yuanxi Has Been Put into Prison Several Times in Order to Seek the Truth
When they walked out of the door together, Chen Yuanxi suddenly asked, “Do you think I really love Zhao Yuan?”
“Why did you suddenly ask such a question?” Gu Xi said, “You two have experienced so much together. All of us can see that you love each other.”
“What about Uncle Hong Xuan and my father?”
Gu Xi shook his head and said, “He and your father are brothers. They have heroic spirit and don’t stick to trifles. But you and Zhao Yuan…”
“Uncle Hong Xuan can die for my father, and I can do anything for Zhao Yuan. Isn’t he in love with my father?” asked Chen Yuanxi.
“Except for love, there are many other emotions among people that can make them live and die together,” said Gu Xi.
“Then Zhao Yuan and I may not be in love.” Chen Yuanxi said thoughtfully.
“Wenxi, you are just making excuses for yourself! Did you fall in love with someone else?” asked Gu Xi.
“I don’t know. Everything is like a dream.” Chen Yuanxi smiled faintly and shed tears. He really missed Hong Xuan.
The men’s prison in the small town.
“Sir, you’ve come four times this month, once a week! I’ve made it clear to you that because he’s a special prisoner, he is not allowed to see anyone while he’s in custody!” The chief said to Chen Yuanxi with some helplessness and seriousness.
“He’s been sentenced for eight years, and only half a year has passed. The most serious felon in Clinton Prison, the U.S. federal prison in California, also has to meet his family,” said Chen Yuanxi.
“Are you a member of his family?”
“Have his family been here?”
“No comment.”
“That is to say, they have been here, but were rejected by you? You even stop him from seeing his parents!” snapped Chen Yuanxi.
The chief kept silent and asked someone to let Chen Yuanxi go out.
Another month passed. It seemed that Chen Yuanxi had experienced the four seasons, the wind in spring, the night in summer, the sunrise in autumn, and the snow in winter. This time, Chen Yuanxi, with tiredness on his face, stood firmly in the reception room with Zhang Dong’s parents.
“Zhang Dong has been transferred secretly recently. We don’t know the specific trend. I’m sorry. You can only wait for him to get out of prison.” The chief looked at Zhang Dong’s parents’ papers and said with a guilty conscience.
Chen Yuanxi picked up the inkstone on the desk and threw it at the head of the chief. The chief fell on the chair in silence and his head was bleeding.
Chen Yuanxi was sentenced to 15 days’ detention. However, during the detention, he still did not hear of Zhang Dong.
When Zheng Kai and Gu Xi went to pick up Chen Yuanxi on the day of his release from prison, they saw Chen Yuanxi using the same tools again in the reception room to stun the chief.
“Wenxi! Wanxin’s sentence has been commuted for half a year! How about you waiting for her to come out together?” Zheng Kai cried to Chen Yuanxi helplessly.
This time, Chen Yuanxi was sentenced to three months.
Chen Yuanxi introduced the outside world to his inmates while he was eating in prison. He described the great changes outside the prison vividly and brilliantly. All the inmates became his friends. But none of them had heard of a man named Zhang Dong.
The next month, he finally heard that there had been a transfer of prisoners. Somehow, it seemed that someone had hijacked the prison van. The prisoner was so exaggerated that he almost described the man who had hijacked the prison van like a man with three heads and six arms. When he heard that, Chen Yuanxi suddenly thought of spider man in his mind. Then the prisoner said that the attacker had sharp ears and a suit of black armor and seemed to be driving a black Lamborghini. Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi thought of Batman this time. Finally, the prisoner said that the attacker had been wearing underwear when he hijacked the prison van. Chen Yuanxi smiled helplessly and took back the smoke in his hand.
The man, with his eyes shining, snatched the cigarette and said, “That man is covered with scars on his face.” Hearing that, Chen Yuanxi suddenly felt astonished.
Chen Yuanxi analyzed all the information in his mind for several times, then he became very obedient and studied in prison. Therefore, he was released half a month ahead of schedule.
The chief of the prison looked at Chen Yuanxi with alert and looked around every corner of the room to see if he had left anything sharp in the room.
Chen Yuanxi had a long talk with the chief and informed him of all his relations with Zhang Dong.
This chief knew Chen Yuanxi’s background. One, who had attacked the office twice, would not have been sentenced to only three months in the prison. However, his leader had told him not to severely punish Chen Yuanxi. Besides, Chen Yuanxi was the son of the former deputy secretary, who had been persecuted to death, and the citizen who had testified against his biological father. In any case, the chief knew that he could do nothing to Chen Yuanxi.
But he did not believe Chen Yuanxi’s story. He shook his head in surprise and said, “Mr. Chen, you can’t make up such a story because you want to know someone’s whereabouts. You are so excellent.” When he saw that Chen Yuanxi’s eyes were wandering around and that he seemed to be looking for some tools, he was so scared that he told Chen Yuanxi the truth.
Zhang Dong had been hijacked and disappeared. Finally, they found a pistol and a bullet in a suburban wilderness. Not far from the swamp, there were Zhang Dong’s footprints. Inside the swamp, there was a lot of blood, which had proved to be Zhang Dong’s. They speculated that Zhang Dong had died.
“Why do you think Zhang Dong is dead?” Chen Yuanxi could not help roaring.
“Please… calm down… in fact, these things can’t be spread out, but your identity is special.” The chief was so scared that he took out a tissue to wipe his sweat and asked someone to fetch something.
“The one who killed Zhang Dong was found to be Hong Xuan. You must know who Hong Xuan is,” the chief said as he handed over a recording, “Hong Xuan is bold. He recorded the whole process. There’s no mystery about this case.”
“Uncle Xuan, how can you help me in violation of the law? I can’t redeem myself by good service.”
“I want to marry Wenxi… Hey, what are you doing with the gun? It’s a fake, isn’t it?”
“I promised him I would stay with him for 360 years.”
“I won’t leave Wenxi.”
With a bang of the gun, Chen Yuanxi could not help shivering. The recorder fell to the ground with the evidence bag.
Chen Yuanxi grabbed his head in pain and asked in a sharp voice, “Where is the body?”
“After Hong Xuan committed suicide, we found the recorder, and soon found the swamp. The body was dug out. After the autopsy, we knew that he had been shot in the back of his head and died on the spot. You know better than me about Hong Xuan’s shooting skills,” the man said, “Some of the relics of the dead were found at the scene. Since they were sent by you, Zhang Dong’s parents didn’t take them away. We didn’t deal with them either.” Then the man took out a gold ring. Chen Yuanxi recognized at first glance that it was one of the two gold rings.
“Where’s the other one? Has it been privately taken possession of?” Chen Yuanxi burst into tears and his eyes were swollen. He asked in anger.
“Only one of them was found on the spot. It’s registered and you can check it. By the way, here you are.”
The chief handed over another sealed bag, on which there was only one picture. It was just a long-lasting dream.
“You can really hide, Zhang Dong…”
“Where… is his ashes? Have you informed his family?” Chen Yuanxi asked, choking with sobs.
“The ashes were naturally taken back by his family. They signed a confidentiality agreement with us, accepted compensation and agreed not to tell anyone about it!” said the chief.
“How dare you tell me? How dare you tell me?” Chen Yuanxi’s tears dripped on the back of the chief’s hand.
“You are Lin Ziwei’s son. The murderer Hong Xuan is your family’s friend and your father’s lifelong bodyguard. The dead Zhang Dong, you said… uh… is your fiance… so we can’t sign the confidentiality agreement with you, but I think you still have the right to know… I… I’m thinking of you… don’t tell others about it…” The chief was frightened by Chen Yuanxi’s ferocious face, as if he was being pointed by a pistol at the moment.
“So you lied to me that he was forbidden to visit. I’m asking you, how will you explain to me when he will be released from prison in a few years?” Chen Yuanxi asked angrily.
“In prison, there are many deaths due to fighting, which we call sudden death,” said the chief.
Chen Yuanxi went away with anger.
