Chapter 44 PT1 – Sun Zhi is Taken Away by Li Hongyu

“Mr. Chen, you are finally here.” Even though the problem has been resolved, Sun Peifeng is still anxious.

Seeing a strange face, he asked, “Who is this?”

Chen Ling did not know if the existence of the Special Investigation Department could be made known to ordinary people, so Chen Ling asked Li Hongyu to introduce it himself.

Li Hongyu: “It doesn’t matter who I am. You just need to know that I’m here to help you clean up the mess.”

Seeing Sun Peifeng’s inquiring look, Chen Ling nodded, and then asked him about the current situation.

Sun Peifeng led them towards the front door, “After you left yesterday, I tied him up with ropes again and kept him locked in the storage room.”

Mrs. Sun had been waiting at the door early. When she heard the voices, she immediately opened the door and invited the group in.

The weasel hid in the backpack and didn’t move when it arrived at its familiar environment. It knew that this was no longer its territory.

Chen Ling handed the parrot to Jiang Yu: “Hold it tight, don’t let it fly around, it will lose its feathers.”

Li Hongyu glanced at Jiang Yu. There was no expression on his face, only his eyes revealed reluctance. And even this tiny emotion was enough to make people retreat.

Just when everyone thought Jiang Yu would not lend a hand, the macaw was loosely embraced by strong arms.

Unexpected, but reasonable, Wu Weiwei stared at Chen Ling and Jiang Yu strangely for a few times, and couldn’t help but sigh that only Brother Chen dared to order the big money boss around. And coincidentally, the big money boss seemed to be a little bit spoiled by Brother Chen.

A subtle relationship.

Li Hongyu moved his lips, breaking the atmosphere, and said to Chen Ling: “Can we go to the storage room first?”

“Okay.” Chen Ling’s expression was natural, not noticing the strange atmosphere at all. He gestured to Sun Peifeng and said, “Mr. Sun, please lead the way.”

The room Sun Zhi was locked in was not actually a storage room, but it is actually a utility room. It is filled with cleaning tools and some unused flower pots. The air is filled with the smell of earth and fermented mop.

Sun Peifeng opened the door with his key and walked in first.

Sun Zhi, who had his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes and looked towards the door when he heard the noise. In addition to Chen Ling and the other two people he had met before, there was also a stranger he did not know.

Yesterday he heard Chen Ling discussing with someone that they would find someone else to take him away. If his guess was correct, it should be this person.

The man looked young, but he was wearing a black suit and a white shirt in the hot weather. He was thin but not weak.

Sun Zhi drooped his eyelids and thought, if this man came alone, perhaps he could find a chance to escape.

Li Hongyu walked to the front and loosened the rope on Sun Zhi.

Wu Weiwei shouted worriedly: “Why are you untying the rope? What if he runs away?!”

“He can’t run away.” Chen Ling pointed at Li Hongyu’s back.

Wu Weiwei looked over and saw Li Hongyu taking out a talisman from his suit pocket. He then turned Sun Zhi over almost roughly and stuck the talisman on his back.

Sun Zhi only felt paralyzed all over, from his fingers to toes, every joint seemed to be stuck with paste and he could not move.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Weiwei saw Li Hongyu take out the Sanqing Bell.

He leaned forward and said, “Is this the principle of corpse driving?”

This was also the first time that Chen Ling saw a living person being controlled as if he were a dead body. He said thoughtfully, ‘This immobilization talisman should be an improved version.’

As the Sanqing bell rang, Sun Zhi’s body stood up from the ground uncontrollably. He showed a horrified expression and looked at Sun Peifeng fearfully, “Second Uncle, Second Uncle, save me, Second Uncle, save me.”

Sun Peifeng’s cheeks were bulging, and he turned his face away and looked away.

Sun Zhi struggled desperately, but it was useless. His body seemed to have become a lifeless shell, and he was just a temporary soul.

Chen Ling walked beside Li Hongyu and asked, “How did you modify your talisman? Teach me.”

“It cannot be passed on to outsiders except the disciples within the sect.” Li Hongyu turned the corridor and moved his wrist. The ringing sound suddenly became louder and Sun Zhi was forced to speed up his pace.

Sun Peifeng quietly asked Wu Weiwei: “Where will Sun Zhi be taken? Is it the police station?”

But when he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible. If he was really taken to the police station, the person who had come to take him away should not have been such a handsome young man, but a policeman.

Wu Weiwei didn’t know either, so he ran to ask his brother Chen.

Chen Ling shook his head, looked at the back of Li Hongyu’s head and asked, “What are you going to do with Sun Zhi?”

“You know that the Seventy-two Departments have offices in the human world, right?” Li Hongyu walked towards the entrance without looking back.

Chen Ling went over the functions of each of the 72 departments in his mind and hesitated, “The 33rd and 53rd departments?”

The Thirty-third Department is in charge of handling the looted surplus, responsible for making money. If the ill-gotten gains are obtained by bad means, not only will they be taken away, but the person will also be severely punished.

The Fifty-third Department is in charge of conspiracy. Anyone who plots to harm others will be punished by heaven.

Li Hongyu nodded, “You know it very well.”

Chen Ling: “Not bad.” From the first day he arrived at Yuhe Mountain with Zhao Xunchang, he was ordered to copy down the duties of each department. Even now, in order to prevent himself from forgetting, he would occasionally review it.

But the two departments should still discuss how to deal with Sun Zhi specifically.

But there happened to be someone at the scene who knew the inside story.

Chen Ling took a step back and walked side by side with Jiang Yu. He scraped the parrot’s warm beak with his hand, looked up and asked, “Do you know what the two courts will decide?”

Jiang Yu always answers any questions Chen Ling has: “Strip away the wealth in this life, and live a life of poverty and destitution.”

This sentence shocked everyone present, and the most surprised one was none other than Sun Zhi himself.

He couldn’t move, all his emotions were concentrated in his eyes.

Poverty is what he feared the most, otherwise he wouldn’t have been in this situation today. When he thought that in the future he may have to live in a shabby house of a few square meters, eat leftovers, and no longer have cars or drivers to go out, he can only walk on foot or ride a dirty shared bicycle on the street…

After more than a decade of living a life of luxury, he had long forgotten how to lead an ordinary life.

Sun Zhi was almost driven crazy by his own future. He opened his mouth and cried loudly: “Uncle, I really know I was wrong. Please don’t let him take me away and don’t let me leave this family. I promise that I will be filial to you and aunt in the future and treat Jiayu as my own brother! As long as you are willing to accept me again, I will be willing to work like a cow or a horse.”

“You can’t let him stay here!” Mrs. Sun was afraid that her husband would be soft-hearted, so she pulled his arm and said, “Peifeng, do you still remember those ungrateful words he said before? He is not truly repentant, he just wants to trick you into letting him go.”

At this time, Li Hongyu said: “I have already reported the arrest. The Thirty-third and Fifty-third Departments have already filed a record. Even if I don’t take you away, someone else will.”

Sun Zhi’s tears and snot flowed down his cheeks into his mouth. Now he didn’t care whether it was disgusting or not. Even if he couldn’t stay, at least he had to get rid of those terrible punishments.

He shouted anxiously, “I know I did something wrong. When you see me, you will remember those unpleasant things. How about this? You don’t hold me responsible. I will go back to my parents’ home or leave this city. I promise you will never see me again.”

There was no real regret in Sun Zhi’s eyes, he was just afraid and wanted to evade responsibility.

Chen Ling reminded: “You may not have understood what Li Hongyu said, but you can’t escape the blame.”

“Shut up, shut up!” Sun Zhi’s eyes were red as if bleeding. He looked fiercely at the young man with a calm expression, and his chest was filled with unprecedented hatred.

“It’s you, you nosy person. Why do you want to meddle in our family’s affairs? Why!” He was gasping for breath, the veins on both sides of his forehead bulged, the blood vessels almost burst, and he looked like a devil.

A hand grabbed Chen Ling’s shoulder and pulled him back. Jiang Yu stood half a step away, admiring the hideousness on the opposite side.

“The Seventy-Two Departments govern the good and evil of heaven and earth, and the reincarnation of life. From the moment you had the evil seed in your heart, your name has been recorded. Now, not only have you resisted arrest, but you have also committed verbal sins…”

Jiang Yu smiled softly, and his gentle tone was like a steel knife cutting into Sun Zhi’s heart, “If you are punished for all four crimes, you should be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, deprived of your life and sent to hell to suffer all kinds of torture. What do you think?”

Sun Zhi’s lips were trembling and the fear in his eyes was about to overflow.

There were so many words begging for mercy in his heart, but he didn’t dare to utter a single word.

In comparison, this always silent man is the most terrifying. The chill brought by his light tone makes him feel like he is in hell.

Li Hongyu’s eyebrows twitched and he turned his gaze towards Jiang Yu again.

But when they looked at each other, he felt heavy in his heart, and he had an unspeakable sense of depression.

Jiang Yu’s lips were curled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: “Mr. Li, it’s time to take the person away.”

Li Hongyu withdrew his gaze for a long time, but the strangeness in his heart still did not completely dissipate. He couldn’t help but become more and more confused about Jiang Yu’s identity.

In fact, after reporting back to the Special Investigation Department this time, he specifically found his master and described Jiang Yu’s appearance to him.

The master said: “As far as I know, there is no such person among the younger generations of various sects.”

Then he warned: “Observe first, don’t provoke, and act with caution.”

Li Hongyu hid his doubts and rang the Sanqing Bell to enter the elevator. The elevator was small and when Sun Peifeng walked in, it was already packed.

Chen Ling’s back was pressed against the cold elevator wall, and in front of him was Jiang Yu’s broad back. It was too tiring to look up and stare at the back of a man’s head, so he lowered his eyes, and his gaze slid from the man’s shoulders to his lower back, and he curiously measured the width with both hands.

‘Oh, a little thicker than mine.’
