604: Chapter 605: Too Much Bullying_1 604: Chapter 605: Too Much Bullying_1 That afternoon, Xiao Chen followed Li Hang to the place where Dong Zhi was detained.

Standing outside the high walls, looking at this place completely wrapped in barbed wire, Xiao Chen’s inner rage was furiously burning.

Just because Dong Zhi stood up for him and merely slapped Hai Xi, he ended up in such a pitiful state.

Xiao Chen didn’t know how Dong Zhi was doing.

The iron gate opened.

Xiao Chen walked in, and the people inside respectfully showed him the way.

Within the high walls, a skinny Dong Zhi, reduced to just skin and bones, numbly engraved marks on the wall.

Those scratches had become too numerous to count.

He did one every day to precisely calculate how long he had been inside.

Fate was too unjust towards him, yet he could only accept it.

The reason he hadn’t died yet was only because he worried about his parents.

His parents were already getting old, both in their fifties; he really didn’t know how many more years they had.

Bearing the sin of having a murderer as a son, his parents were probably looked down upon by relatives.

His body was covered in scars, he didn’t even know how many times he had been beaten, he had grown numb to it.

Each time, he just protected his vital parts, getting beaten didn’t matter as long as he didn’t die.

“Dong Zhi, come out!”

At the doorway, a uniformed officer called out to Dong Zhi, his attitude much better than usual.

Dong Zhi felt strange.

But he didn’t think much of it.

After so many years, he didn’t believe anyone would come to rescue him.

After all, he didn’t have many friends, and among those, even fewer were capable.

Although a few good friends had often visited him over the years, they were all wage earners; how could they possibly get him out of here?

It was unthinkable.

The handcuffs and leg irons on Dong Zhi were removed.

This made Dong Zhi even more puzzled.

Could it be that a noble person was indeed coming to save him?

“Old classmate, do you still recognize me?”

Dong Zhi was sitting in a room.

The door of the room opened, and someone walked in.

Dong Zhi looked up for a long while and finally, an excited smile spread across his face: “Xiao Chen, is that you, Xiao Chen?”

“It’s me!”

Xiao Chen gave Dong Zhi a big hug.

“Dirty!”

Dong Zhi quickly said.

“When I was destitute in the streets, you didn’t find me dirty,” Xiao Chen said with a smile: “These years have been hard on you.

I know all about what happened, you fought Hai Xi for me.”

“Don’t mention it, just youthful impulsiveness.

I’ve regretted that incident for seven years, but what’s the use.”

Dong Zhi shook his head: “You don’t have to thank me, that’s my sincere feeling.

All these years, I’ve been in here, without seeing the light of day, my parents running around for my sake, spending who knows how much money.

They have drained all their savings.

You know, my family used to be considered middle class.

We don’t even have our own house anymore.”

“Even so, I am grateful to you!”

Xiao Chen said: “From today, you no longer have to suffer.

The hardships you’ve endured these years, I will seek justice for each one.

I’ve already sent people to investigate what happened back then, as long as you haven’t committed a crime, I can get you out of here, and furthermore, we must apply for compensation.”

“Don’t try to comfort me, it’s been six years, what can you possibly do.

If you really want to help me, then please take care of my parents, I’m begging you.”

Dong Zhi sighed.

“I will!”

Xiao Chen didn’t explain further, at this point, he guessed Dong Zhi would have a hard time believing anything he said.

After ending the conversation, Xiao Chen stood up to leave.

“Regardless, thank you for coming to see me, I have no regrets about taking you in back then.”

Perhaps Dong Zhi regretted hitting Hai Xi, but he did not regret taking Xiao Chen in at all.

“Thank you!”

Xiao Chen smiled, then left.

Once outside, he took out his phone and made a call, “I want the truth of that year to be revealed to the world in three days.

I want Dong Zhi to leave that place safe and sound, and with a clean slate!”

It was easy to get Dong Zhi out, but Xiao Chen did not want Dong Zhi to leave mired in disgrace.

He shouldn’t be misunderstood by people, nor should he become the target of their accusations.

His parents certainly should not have to bear any infamy.

So, it wasn’t quite suitable for him to step in personally; it was better left to someone in the appropriate position.

Having left the imposing walls behind him, Xiao Chen said, “Li Hang, take me to see Dong Zhi’s parents.”

“Alright, Dong Zhi’s parents are now renting a small room in the urban village.

They run a small business to scrape by, and their life is indeed not going so well.”

Li Hang sighed and said, “We were classmates once, so I’ve visited them a few times, and even gave them some money.

Their life has taken a turn for the worse!”

Xiao Chen frowned and asked, “Because of the lawsuit?”

“Somewhat, but the oppression by the Hai Family is a bigger issue.”

Li Hang sighed and said, “Lawsuits are expensive, but they are big bosses, making money quickly.

However, the oppression by the Hai Family is terrible.

It led to the bankruptcy of Dong Zhi’s parents’ company.

A comeback is impossible for them now; they spend every day peddling in the streets, and even face bullying.”

At this, Li Hang suddenly felt a terrifying coldness in the air.

He was startled, knowing that Xiao Chen was angry.

He knew that when a master got angry, their aura could change the environment around them, though he had never witnessed it.

But today, he truly experienced it.

It was indeed frightening.

The Hai Family!

Will be exterminated!

They didn’t even spare the elderly; if he did not uproot the Hai Family, how would he live up to the justice of heaven and earth!

If he lived up to his own principles as a human being.

While Xiao Chen was heading towards the urban village in Blue Sea City, elsewhere, forces had already set in motion, and the dust-laden files of the past were being reopened.

Everyone was working overtime to reanalyze the case from that year.

Actually, the case was quite simple.

Not complicated at all.

It was just that someone had tampered with it back then, which led to Dong Zhi being wronged.

Mindful individuals had preserved all the evidence collected back then, without destroying it, waiting for this day to come.

In this world, perhaps everyone has flaws and selfish aspects, but they also have redeeming qualities.

The urban village in Blue Sea City.

Although the people in the village had all become wealthy.

The residents here were a mixed bag.

All sorts, from every walk of life, could be found.

Dong Zhi’s parents rented a place in the urban village, making money from a stall.

They had no choice; they couldn’t conduct business anymore as they had been blacklisted by Blue Sea’s business community.

The reason for this wasn’t something they had done, but because someone did not want to let them recover.

Even just running a small stall, they still often faced trouble, as if someone couldn’t be satisfied unless they bullied them daily.

The expression on Xiao Chen’s face was extremely grim.

Dong Zhi’s parents had been really kind to him in the past.

Hearing that he was Dong Zhi’s classmate, they had even freed up a room for him to stay in.

Whatever Dong Zhi ate, he ate as well.

Xiao Chen had even gained weight during that time.

Such good people should not have to suffer like this.

“You old thing, this vegetable I bought from you is full of worms.

Compensate me, or I’ll smash your stall!”

“You do this every day; don’t you find it boring?”

When Xiao Chen arrived at Dong Zhi’s parents’ stall following Li Hang, this was the conversation he overheard.
