Chapter 469: Chapter 503, What do you think about this issue?

Fang Yi’s hands were handcuffed, so he couldn’t reach out to wipe away the tears on Xia Ziqi’s face. Facing such a heartbroken Xia Ziqi, Fang Yi also felt somewhat distressed, so he softly comforted her, "It’s going to be okay."

"How could it possibly be okay..." Xia Ziqi might have been somewhat naive, but she was not entirely clueless.

"Crying here won’t help. You should immediately go find Shen Binan..." Fang Yi whispered into Xia Ziqi’s ear, instructing her on some things to do.

Just as Fang Yi finished speaking, a man burst in—it was the head of the Guard Department, Liu Yuanguang. Seeing this scene, Liu Yuanguang immediately bellowed with rage, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and capture this criminal!"

Prompted by Liu Yuanguang, the inspectors finally reacted, converging on the scene, while Fang Yi offered no resistance. Xia Ziqi backed away, not as stubborn as before. She was just a woman, and it was utterly impossible for her to save Fang Yi with her own strength.

Fang Yi was detained by two inspectors, and under the serious gaze of numerous others, he was escorted onto a prison van.

After boarding the van, two inspectors sat on either side of Fang Yi, watching him intently, not giving him any chance to escape. At the same time, a man walked to the back of the van and cast a disdainful and mocking look at Fang Yi inside.

Fang Yi also saw Liu Yuanguang and said, "Head Liu Yuanguang?"

Liu Yuanguang asked, "You have something to say?"

Fang Yi replied, "Yes, I have a lot to say, but it can be summed up in one sentence. Those who commit many unjust acts surely doom themselves. You can’t differentiate right from wrong, you take bribes, and that family of five died miserably. After committing so many evil acts, how... can your conscience be clear?"

Liu Yuanguang gave a cold smile and said, "Simply showing off your verbal skills is useless. You are notorious for your extreme brutality and for killing without blinking an eye. No matter what you say here, it’s futile. Accept the judgment of the law!"

After that, Liu Yuanguang personally closed the two doors at the back of the van. The interior of the van became dim, and then the vehicle started and drove away from the site.

Liu Yuanguang watched the departing van, a cold smile playing on his lips. At that moment, a phone call came through.

"How did it go?" a voice from the phone asked.

"Everything is taken care of."

"Good, then I’ll congratulate you in advance, Head Liu. You and the Guard Department will soon be reunited."

"My thanks for your congratulations."

After hanging up, Liu Yuanguang got into another vehicle.

The inspectors left, but the guards arrived. The neighborhood was still in an uproar, with some neighbors discussing how Fang Yi could be a murderous maniac, capable of killing a family of five. It was truly horrifying.

Xia Ziqi listened to the discussions of the people around her, said nothing, but her face showed a determined expression. She raised her hand to wipe her tears and turned to leave.

Now was not the time to cry, nor was it a time for tears. She had to save him!

Suddenly, Xia Ziqi felt that she had been too weak in the past, always relying on Fang Yi to help her, being unable to do anything herself. Now that he was in trouble, she couldn’t stand by idly. It was time for her to become useful.

When a slightly weak woman with no direction finds a purpose, her spirit changes. At that moment, Xia Ziqi was that woman—she left the neighborhood and headed for Longtu Group.

Under a distant tree, Lin Jingtian stood in some surprise. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "This Fang Yi, I clearly told him not to come, why would he still throw himself into the net? Is he masochistic?"

...

The prison van soon arrived at the Guard Department, and as Fang Yi was being escorted off the van by two inspectors, a swarm of reporters who had been waiting there immediately surrounded the guards and began taking pictures of Fang Yi.

Among these reporters, a female reporter holding a microphone saw Fang Yi and her face changed drastically. Another reporter was carrying a camera filming her, but she became lost in thought. The next moment, without caring about anything else, she threw herself forward.

"You’ve got the wrong person! He’s a good man, he’s a good man!" she yelled.

However, there were too many people, and her cries were quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd, unable to stir up any waves or ripples.

Fang Yi, however, heard her voice. He turned his head and saw the female reporter he had saved in Xianghua City, panicked and trying to come over to save him. He felt moved.

But it was all in vain. Fang Yi gave her a gentle, reassuring smile. The feeling of having someone care about him was quite pleasant.

Fang Yi was soon pushed into the Guard Department.

The female reporter went berserk. Seeing Liu Yuanguang, the chief of the Guard Department, step down from the van, she immediately ran over to him, and the other reporters surged forward as well, surrounding Liu and asking about the recent terrorist incident.

This was big news.

Liu Yuanguang appeared to be in a good mood, almost ready to answer any question, though he automatically ignored certain ones about confidential matters.

Just then, a microphone was pushed in front of Liu Yuanguang, asking, "Director Liu, as far as I know, Fang Yi is a good person. He has assisted the guards in rescuing dozens of Xuan Cang hostages kidnapped by bandits in Xianghua City. What is your comment on this?"

At these words, the room fell silent, and Liu Yuanguang’s expression immediately darkened.

Fang Yi was led into the Guard Department, then pushed into an interrogation room.

It was nearly a sealed room, with cameras in the corners broadcasting everything that happened inside. One wall was made of glass, but one could only see inside from the outside, while from the inside it was impossible to see out.

Fang Yi’s hands were cuffed, and then his feet were shackled to a chair. Only after the two inspectors who had brought him in were satisfied that the prisoner couldn’t escape did they leave the room.

Moreover, all of Fang Yi’s personal possessions, except for his clothes and a belt, had been taken away, including cigarettes, lighter, watch...

Fang Yi sat quietly within the Guard Department. Sitting there, with no sense of outside time, was like being in solitary confinement.

Solitary confinement was indeed terrifying, like being locked in a room without sunlight or sense of time, devoid of any entertainment. It could drive one mad. In prison, there were solitary cells specifically for inmates who had misbehaved.

But they were better off than Fang Yi in one respect—they could still move. As for Fang Yi, immobilized and unaware of time, he endured this torment, this form of torture.

Fang Yi understood in his heart that this was intentional on the part of his captors—to leave him hanging here, to torture him mentally, to more effectively achieve their goal.

However, they underestimated Fang Yi.

With a clear conscience, he feared no devil’s knock. Fang Yi simply hypnotized himself and fell asleep.
