Chapter 481

Sun Chengguang's face was so dark it could drip water: "Take his handcuffs off!"

Yu Xuelin said to the police officer standing to the side, still stunned, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the handcuffs off."

"Huh? Oh!"

The officer hurriedly unlocked Zhou Andong's handcuffs. Sun Chengguang walked over and said with an apologetic face, "Comrade Zhou Andong, I am truly very sorry. This is a dereliction of my duty. To have let you suffer such great harm, I will definitely investigate this clearly and deal with it severely."

"Cough... cough cough..."

Zhou Andong coughed twice more, stood up with An Jing's support, and said, "This place is a sacred site in the hearts of the people of the whole country. My father and mother have yearned for this place for decades, but I have always been too busy and never had the opportunity to bring them to see it.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to bring my father for medical treatment, I brought them here. I never expected that in this place where the sun rises, there would also be darkness that the light cannot reach, which almost cost me my life. I won't dare to come here ever again."

Sun Chengguang said sincerely, "Please rest assured, such things will absolutely never happen again."

Yu Xuelin wanted to cry. He really wanted to say that this kid was faking it and that he really hadn't used torture on him. But he also knew that at this moment, it was useless to say anything; no one would believe him.

"Little Wu, take Comrade Zhou Andong to the hospital," Sun Chengguang said to the officer beside him.

"No need, I'll go myself. I wouldn't dare to trouble you all," Zhou Andong waved his hand and said to An Jing, "Let's go."

An Jing supported Zhou Andong as they walked out of the interrogation room, and Tang Lin hurriedly followed.

Zhang Zuo said, "Sun Ju, my grandfather already knows about this matter. He is very angry, so you'd better handle it yourself." After saying this, he quickly chased after them.

Sun Chengguang looked coldly at Yu Xuelin: "From now on, you are suspended from your duties, waiting for the bureau's investigation."

Yu Xuelin's legs went soft, and he almost sat on the ground: "Director... Sun Ju, he was faking it; I didn't use torture on him."

Seeing Yu Xuelin's cowardly appearance, Sun Chengguang was so angry he cursed loudly: "A scar the size of a bowl is nothing when you lose your head, let alone now when nothing has even happened yet. Look at your cowardly appearance now. How could I have a soldier like you? You've lost all of my face, damn it..."

After leaving the police station, An Jing asked anxiously, "Do we need to go to the hospital?"

Zhou Andong let out a 'heh' laugh: "What for?"

An Jing was stunned, then reacted immediately. She let out a very obvious sigh of relief, then raised her hand and punched Zhou Andong.

"You scared me to death."

Zhou Andong laughed heartily: "Damn it, if I don't play him to death, I won't have a happy New Year."

An Jing rolled her eyes at him, then burst into laughter.

Tang Lin gave a thumbs up: "Brother Dong, your acting skills are unmatched. Even I was fooled."

Zhang Zuo said mockingly, "Acting my ass, you look like a clown."

"I..." Zhou Andong rolled up his sleeves, ready to make a move.

Zhang Zuo ran away, shouting as he ran, "You can't catch me, I'll piss you off!"

"Brother Dong, Brother Dong!" Tang Lin pulled Zhou Andong back, "Don't lower yourself to the level of that idiot."

"Ouch, damn it!" Just then, they heard a cry of pain from Zhang Zuo.

The three of them looked up and saw that the idiot Zhang Zuo had tripped over something and was lying on the ground in a 'dog eating shit' posture.

"Ha... hahaha..."

Zhou Andong laughed heartily: "Now that's what you call instant karma."

An Jing and Tang Lin also started laughing.

Zhou Andong walked over and kicked Zhang Zuo, who was still lying on the ground: "Don't play dead, get up."

Zhang Zuo grimaced as he climbed up from the ground. His palms were scraped raw. Fortunately, it was winter and he was dressed thickly; if it had been summer, it would have been even more miserable.

Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh again: "Kid, you see that? Even Heaven couldn't stand it and decided to teach you a lesson. In the future, just be an honest person and don't be so cocky."

"Hmph!" Zhang Zuo turned his head away, as stubborn as ever.

"My mood is very good right now, so I won't lower myself to your level," Zhou Andong said as he walked toward the square.

When they returned to the square, they found that all the people who had testified for him had already returned.

"Big Brother is back." Old Four had already recovered. Seeing Zhou Andong, he opened his arms and ran over, throwing himself into Zhou Andong's arms.

Zhou Andong hugged Old Four: "It's okay now, don't worry."

Zhou Xiaoxin said he wasn't worried, but how could that be? Seeing his son return, he let out a sigh of relief, and a smile also appeared on Yuan Liying's face.

"Dad, Mom, you go walk around with An Jing. I'm going to chat with those witnesses and thank them."

"Go ahead!" Zhou Xiaoxin nodded.

Zhou Andong came to the stall of the old man who had testified first: "Old man, here, have a cigarette."

The old man was very surprised to see Zhou Andong return: "How did you get back?"

Zhou Andong said with a smile, "Why couldn't I come back?"

The old man also laughed: "You probably don't know, but that Zhu Lifeng is the brother-in-law of the police station chief Yu Xuelin. You were taken away by Yu Xuelin, and I thought..."

Having said this, he shook his head and didn't continue.

Zhou Andong asked curiously, "Since you knew their relationship, why did you still come out to testify?"

The old man said, "Because he doesn't dare to do anything to me."

"Oh?" Zhou Andong was even more curious. He took out his lighter and lit the cigarette for the old man.

The old man took a puff of the cigarette: "My name is An Lin, and my surname is Aisin Gioro!"

Zhou Andong widened his eyes, looking the old man up and down.

"Are you very surprised?" The old man smiled slightly, "Because I'm good at raising crickets and I also like cricket fighting, everyone who knows me calls me Old Cricket.

During those ten years, the Zhu family caused my family to be broken and people to die; my wife and son both died at their hands. Some of the good things passed down by my ancestors were also either snatched or smashed by them.

If it weren't for this surname of mine that saved me, I probably wouldn't have lived until now. So, I'm not afraid of them; on the contrary, they are afraid of me making a scene and digging up old accounts."

At this moment, a young man who had testified walked over: "You're out. It's good that you're out."

Zhou Andong took out a cigarette again and gave one to the young man: "Thank you, brother, for speaking up for justice."

The young man smiled: "This has nothing to do with justice; I also have a grudge against the Zhu family."

Old Cricket said, "His name is Wang Yihai. We all call him Second Squire. His ancestors were in the silk business and even received rewards from the Emperor, gaining the honor of being raised to the Banner.

But during the War of Resistance, his family wealth was exhausted. Who could have thought that the Zhu family would find out about his ancestors' affairs and throw his father into a cowshed, where he was eventually starved to death.

Then his mother went crazy. At that time, he wasn't even ten years old, and his eldest sister was only in her teens. They went everywhere begging for food, and only with the help of kind neighbors did they manage to survive."
