Chapter 2187: Chapter 2188: Come In and I’ll Kill You

Zheng Hongnan was knocked to the ground, the incident occurring in the blink of an eye.

Those who witnessed the scene couldn’t comprehend what had just happened.

They just knew he was down, utterly senseless, like a dead dog.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the cell became tense.

Originally, Zhou Changlin and the others had been enjoying the show, thinking that with Zheng Hongnan’s abilities, handling Lin Yi should have been a breeze.

Unexpectedly, the final result was so surprising.

And those who had brought Lin Yi in probably hadn’t anticipated that he could perform so well while handcuffed.

Zhou Changlin and the rest looked at Lin Yi warily, their eyes filled with apprehension.

Now they understood why these people had been placed together to take him down, and why electric batons had been prepared.

This kid’s level was not as simple as it seemed; he was more formidable than they had imagined.

Subconsciously, Zhou Changlin and the others reached for the electric batons belted at their waists.

At this moment, they stopped hiding their intent.

“Kid, you just got here and you’re already breaking the rules. It looks like I need to have a serious talk with you.”

“Oh ho, quite the arsenal you’ve got there.”

Lin Yi hadn’t expected this.

He knew they’d play dirty, but he didn’t expect they’d bring electric batons. They really were trying to get him killed.

“You think, with those things in your hands, you are sure to win?”

“You’re tough, I’ll give you that, but with those handcuffs on, the result is not so certain.”

Zhou Changlin flicked on the switch, and a sizzling blue arc crackled with a dangerous aura.

Lin Yi stood his ground, unruffled.

“I don’t know who gave you such confidence, thinking that with handcuffs on, you could be a match for me.”

“Fuck!”

Zhou Changlin cursed, then signaled the others, “Come on, attack together!”

The remaining six men rushed at Lin Yi from different angles.

Their goal was clear; even one touch with the electric baton could paralyze his movements.

But reality is often harsher than dreams.

Whether they could subdue Lin Yi was another matter.

Seeing the first person charge at him, Lin Yi kicked out, sending the individual flying. Though not knocked unconscious, he lost his ability to fight.

After taking down one person, Lin Yi set his sights on Zhou Changlin.

Not because he was the leader, but because he was the closest.

Lin Yi stepped on the bed, leapt into the air, and kicked toward Zhou Changlin’s head.

Another scream rang out as Zhou Changlin hit the railing, feeling as if all his bones were breaking.

The remaining people, including Wu Mingming, couldn’t withstand a single move from Lin Yi.

Within a few minutes, all were on the ground, bloodied. Zhou Changlin and the others were laying there, a sorry sight.

Such a dramatic turn, witnessed by the inmates across, felt full of dramatic irony.

This was nothing like what they had expected.

“Someone help, they’re fighting, come quick and take a look!”

Seeing the pitiful state of Zhou Changlin and his crew, the inmates from the opposite cell yelled, hoping the guards would come before they got beaten to death.

But no matter how loud they shouted, no one came.

The two patrolling guards outside heard the commotion from the cell and the skinnier one said,

“Sounds like trouble inside, should we check it out? It seems really serious.”

“Just stay put,” the other replied. “Captain Wang already instructed us: regardless of what happens inside, we ignore it as if we heard nothing.”

“True, but if someone ends up dead in there, we’re still responsible, aren’t we?”

“Normally, yes. But this case is special, so don’t worry about it.”

“Sun Bro, did you hear some inside information? What’s up with the kid who just got sent in; what did he do?”

“I’m not sure about the details. All I know is he angered someone he shouldn’t have, and now they want him dead.”

“Anyone who can reach into our neck of the woods can’t be simple, right?”

“Do I even need to say it? Ordinary people don’t have that kind of network. It’s a very formidable group, beyond our wildest imaginations. So stop guessing.”

“That eases my mind. If the sky falls, there’s a tall one to hold it up. It won’t concern us either.”

“Exactly, or I wouldn’t be so calm. Captain Wang said he’d come by at 11:30 to check things out. Let’s just stay put until then.”

“Alright.”

The shouts inside continued, but neither guard paid attention–it was as if nothing was happening. They continued to patrol.

About twenty minutes later, Wang Jinbao entered.

“Captain Wang, you’re here.”

Wang Jinbao nodded and gestured to the cell with his chin, “How’s the situation inside?”

“Sounds brutal. Lots of shouting and begging us to intervene. But we ignored it; now it’s quiet. Probably beat to half-death.”

“Intervene?”

Wang Jinbao scoffed, “It’s clear someone wants him dead. Who would dare intervene?”

“You’re right, that’s why neither of us did anything, as if we heard nothing.”

“That’s the way.”

Wang Jinbao straightened his uniform. “Alright, let’s go in and see for ourselves.”

“Okay.”

After opening the iron gate, Wang Jinbao led the two men inside.

The cell was eerily silent, with every inmate wearing strange expressions. However, Wang Jinbao approached the last cell nonchalantly.

The moment he stood at the cell door, all three were stunned.

They saw Zhou Changlin and the others kneeling at the door, their faces bruised and swollen, bodies bloody with wounds, trembling uncontrollably, hardly daring to breathe.

And the man named Lin Yi was lying on the bed, sprawled out as if asleep.

“What’s going on here!”

Wang Jinbao bellowed,

“I didn’t hit him.”

The expressions on the three men were extremely exaggerated, even shocked.

So many people were called over, even armed, and yet this was the outcome!

“Get that door open!”

Wang Jinbao ordered loudly.

The two behind him didn’t dare dawdle and hurriedly unlocked the door.

But just then, Lin Yi’s slow voice rose,

“Here’s a piece of advice for you, it’s best not to disturb my sleep.”

“What do you mean by that? Defying authority now? Do you know where you are?”

“We are all colleagues here; how could I not know? But I still hope no one disturbs my sleep.”

Lin Yi rolled over and continued,

“If you dare step one foot in here, I’ll kill you. If you don’t believe me, try it.”
