Rebirth: Super Banking System-Chapter 30 - 28: The Deepening Pit (Recommendations Wanted!)_1

Chapter 30: Chapter 28: The Deepening Pit (Recommendations Wanted!)_1

His statement was recorded.

Zhu Rui started to feel fearful.

He wasn’t scared of being detained.

However, he was accused of murder and felt instinctively terrified, seeing security guards used to make him feel like facing police, stepping into a police station with all actual police officers around, his fear was even more evident.

The fear wouldn’t stop.

Following the principle of the wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him.

He agreed to pay the medical expenses.

As for his own injuries, he had to endure them and deal with them after he was out.

Thinking about Qian Zheng demanding compensation for emotional distress made Zhu Rui so angry he almost wanted to punch him. Zhu Rui thought he was more emotionally distressed, given he was almost frightened to wet his pants.

And he absolutely had no intention of paying for the damages at the Restaurant.

Because he had no money to cover the repayment.

Shortly after.

Upon learning that Li Jianguo had accepted his compensation plan,

Zhu Rui heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn’t want to stay here any longer.

For some reason, ever since he stepped in the police station today, he had an awful premonition. He was full of unease. He couldn’t figure out why, so he attributed it to his own fear.

After Li Jianguo finished giving his statement.

Zhu Rui reluctantly took out 500 yuan from his pocket.

Staring coldly at Li Jianguo’s eyes, as if to say ’you’re finished.’

Li Jianguo also felt a chill down his spine.

But then he thought, since he had already offended Zhu Rui, there was no point in being afraid anymore. Once he realized this, Li Jianguo also stared back at Zhu Rui.

Without showing a trace of fear.

After signing the reconciliation agreement.

Li Jianguo walked straight out of the police station, and not straight home. He wanted to see the last scene, which was Zhu Rui walking out from there, but he hadn’t seen them even after waiting for about ten minutes.

Li Jianguo was a bit puzzled as well.

So, he called Tang Qing:

"I’m out. They paid me 500 yuan. But those thugs are still inside, is there something new happening?"

"How long have they been in there?" Tang Qing asked.

"About ten minutes."

Li Jianguo repliedtruthfully.

"Don’t worry, Uncle Li. I know what’s going on. You come back first. I’m waiting for you at the restaurant. I have a plan." At this moment, a mysterious smile appeared on Tang Qing’s face.

"Okay, I’m coming back right now."

Li Jianguo hung up the phone and hailed a taxi back to the restaurant.

...

Second Floor

Guo Cheng’s Office

"I heard you guys went to that restaurant a few days ago for protection fees?" Guo Cheng leaned back in his chair and looked at Zhu Rui and the other two with a smirking face.

The three of them stood in a row.

Feeling nervous in front of Guo Cheng’s desk.

They could have left.

But they didn’t know why Guo Cheng wanted to see them.

"We won’t dare to do it again, and we’ll change our ways and start over." Zhu Rui blurted out, even talking about starting over, even though he was too anxious to pay attention to his words.

The point was to show weakness first.

"Hehe, people should always be persistent in what they do. I hate people who give up halfway." Guo Cheng said with a smirk. Seeing the threeof them so scared, his ego was quite gratified.

Zhu Rui didn’t catch on at first.

Just as he prepared to reassure once again, he suddenly came to a realization.

He immediately understood what Guo Cheng was implying. Clearly, he was instructed to continue seeking revenge against Li Jianguo, but didn’t he know Li Jianguo? Why would he help himself, didn’t they have a grudge against each other?

Without thinking too much about it, he gave up figuring it out.

"You mean I should continue giving Li Jianguo trouble?"

"Don’t overthink it, I didn’t say anything specific. I was just sharing my life lessons. You should be persistent in whatever you do, become a useful individual to society." Guo Cheng said with a stern face.

"Understood, understood, we’re all law-abiding citizens, we wouldn’t break the law knowingly. We’re all young people striving for our dreams. It’s just that we haven’t encountered the right opportunities yet."

While saying these words...

Zhu Rui couldn’t help but curse inwardly, calling him an old fox.

He had completely grasped Guo Cheng’s intentions; however, he could still not understand that his identity was merely a bargaining chip for everyone involved, perhaps this was the tragedy of being a small fry.

"I believe you won’t disappoint me, I hope you can contribute more to our society." Seeing that the other party understood his meaning, Guo Cheng revealed a knowing smile.

Internally, Zhu Rui cursed at his hypocrisy.

Still trying to play the saint while doing unspeakable things.

But he dared not show these thoughts on his face.

"Rest assured, we will not disappoint you." Zhu Rui offered a sloppy salute without much thought.

"Hmm, no need for salutes in the future, it’s an insult to the gesture. You guys can leave now." Guo Cheng motioned with his hand, as a public official, he would not allow anyone to carelessly mock the gesture of salute.

Especially when those people were three hooligans.

He was well aware of this.

"Yes." Upon hearing that, Zhu Rui hurriedly lowered his hand and left smiling.

Immediately after,

Zhu Rui and his two men bowed.

And left the office.

The entire conversation between Zhu Rui and Guo Cheng was not long.

Zhu Rui’s two underlings were completely perplexed, from beginning to end they didn’t understand what their boss and the director were talking about, why their boss and the director were talking in riddles, and how it ended up on the topic of ambitious youths.

One of the followers couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: "Boss, what were you guys talking about just now?"

Zhu Rui paused.

Looked around to make sure no one was there, then said with a triumphant look.

"Fools, he probably has some grievances with Li Jianguo, and wants to use us to deal with him. That old fox doesn’t want to leave any verbal evidence, if it weren’t for your smart boss, I might not even have understood."

The two henchmen suddenly understood upon hearing this.

If they put the two men’s conversation in this context, everything made sense, it was simply... too terrifying.

"This time, we absolutely can’t let that Li guy off easily. We have to hit him hard."

"Yes, let’s go home first. This matter needs to be thought over carefully. We definitely can’t act rashly today. We can’t be impulsive. This time we must give him a lesson he will never forget."

Zhu Rui clenched his fists and voiced his hatred.

"Alright, let’s listen to the boss. Let’s go home first and figure out a foolproof plan. Not just Li Jianguo, that Qian Zheng also needs to be taught a lesson. He’s too damned annoying, yet we also have to be careful of any loss. We also need to be scared enough, right?"

"Right, mess him up."

...

At this moment,

The trio, who were dreaming of revenge, had lost their usual caution.

They didn’t notice that they were already being followed.

The so-called ignorant have nothing to fear.

That’s what people say about this kind of people.

"The target has come out, I am following."

"Keep following."

"Yes."

...

Li Jianguo returned to the restaurant. Tang Qing also received a call from his uncle, saying he was already following the three men and had found their residence. His uncle planned to make the arrest at night, trying to get results as soon as possible to prevent any complications.

He had already informed his uncle about the chain of evidence for the case.

The weapon used in the crime and the jade pendant.

When the time comes, they would catch both the perpetrators and the evidence.

Upon hearing about the jade pendant, Qin Yugang truly felt relieved. How could he not know about such important evidence? The thought of solving such an important case stirred up excitement in Qin Yugang’s heart.

As the situation developed to this point,

Tang Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The layout was complete.

Now all that was left was to close the net.

Initially, he just wanted the trio to be caught and brought in to give Guo Cheng some trouble, but Guo Cheng was surprisingly cooperative. He directly got involved and now, this matter was getting interesting.

Originally,

Tang Qing just dug a small pit.

But Guo Cheng, thinking that the pit was meant to bury himself and his people, ended up digging it deeper.

Thinking about this,

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Tang Qing’s mouth.
