The person locked in the cage was not wearing a mask, so when the red cloth on the cage was removed, there was a loud shouting in the arena.
Meng Chenlang was already unconscious. In a trance, he seemed to see that the person locked in the cage next to him looked familiar, a bit like the long-missing Yan Kangle.
Not only him, but the other two people in the cage also noticed it. They curled up together, as if this would make them safer.
"Wenqi, am I seeing things? Is this person Yan Kangle?"
"Yuanyu, he looks a bit like him, but why is he so thin?"
"What do you think of him?" the two of them whispered.
After the three of them were captured, they were not made to do that kind of thing directly, but were just whipped every day.
So unlike Yan Kangle, who has been admired by countless people, they did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
The marks on Yan Kangle's body were different from theirs. Some of them had only whip marks, but Yan Fu's body was covered with teeth marks and purple and blue marks. Anyone with experience would know how these marks were left.
"So he became like this because he offended Xiao Yichen, or rather, because he offended Xiao Yishu?"
"No wonder, no wonder, now it seems that Guo Yu's car accident may be related to them.
Therefore, anyone who offends Xiao Yishu will suffer a bad fate."
"It's over now, everything is over!"
The two men finally figured out the key, but it was too late. They sat slumped in the cage with pale faces, and they didn't dare to resist at all.
During the days they were arrested, they experienced inhuman torture, various whippings, and electric shocks. Each part of the body was subjected to separate treatment, allowing you to clearly feel the pain in that part of your body, but you were powerless to do anything about it.
Meng Chenlang, who had been silent all this time, had a flash of his eyes when he heard their words, but he quickly returned to his confused state.
Yan Kangle on the opposite side had been kneeling there without moving. After several months of torture, he had lost the ability to resist, and his instinct now was to let others control him.
Soon they were bought by foreigners in the audience at prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. This would be their last appearance in public, and what awaited them was endless darkness and torture.
The next day.
All of the Xiao Group's businesses have ceased operations, awaiting inspection.
Originally, the inspection had nothing to do with ordinary people, but when they went to the supermarket to buy vegetables early in the morning, they found that it was closed.
In first-tier cities, people basically go to supermarkets to buy groceries. Big brands are cheap and reliable, so people are used to going to supermarkets.
They had no choice but to go to the small vegetable market, and what made them angry was that the small vendors seized this business opportunity, raised prices, and caused everyone to complain.
I also made an appointment with friends for lunch at noon, but found that all the restaurants in the mall were closed.
For a moment, the entire H city fell into an unprecedented panic, but this was not the most terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing is that many companies declared bankruptcy at the same time, resulting in hundreds of thousands of laid-off workers overnight.
Jiaming Entertainment Company was exposed for tax evasion, yin-yang contracts, and underage artists serving as drinking companions. Many artists were caught taking drugs on the spot, including Luo Yichen.
As these things continued to ferment, some people organized a protest with banners in front of the government building. There were all kinds of banners, and it was no exaggeration to say that there were huge crowds of people.
Especially the elderly are the majority, because usually they are the ones who go to the supermarket to buy vegetables.
Every Chinese New Year, the Xiao Group distributes gifts to the elderly. No matter what natural disasters or man-made disasters they encounter, the Xiao Group is not ambiguous about doing charity.
The beneficiaries are all ordinary people, so the Xiao Group is regarded as a conscientious enterprise in everyone's mind, and is called a good group. Everyone is proud to have someone in their family working in the Xiao Group.
It was closed today for no reason. That's too bad.
All the staff in the government building were blocked inside. Both sides were in a stalemate and no one left. The government assigned a few small figures to maintain order.
Mayor Jiang and others are now holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"Come on, aren't you usually quite talkative? Why can't you say a word at the crucial moment?"
Mayor Jiang was so anxious that he was sweating. He originally just wanted to teach Xiao Yichen a lesson, let him know who is the boss of H City, make him submit to him, and swallow the bitter fruit of Nanhai Future City.
No one expected him to be so generous as to directly close the store and wait for inspection, saying that he was cooperating with the government. In fact, everyone knew whether there was any problem with the Xiao Group or not.
At first I thought I would just go through a process to scare them, but I didn't expect the situation to get out of control. Now I am really in a difficult situation.
"Well, why don't we withdraw the investigation into them now!" A trembling voice sounded in the silent conference room.
“Even if we withdraw now, it will be useless. The initiative is in the hands of the Xiao Group.
As long as he says it’s closed, it’s useless.”
“I didn’t agree with the proposal at the beginning, but you insisted on doing this, and now look what happened.
The Xiao Group has not violated any law in terms of paying taxes or other aspects.
Moreover, their reputation among the general public is beyond reproach. They are always at the forefront of donations and have done a great job in poverty alleviation activities.
How much stuff is donated to the government every year, and how much warmth is brought to the people in the countryside.
Is it true that the Xiao family has driven much of our city's GDP growth rate? "
"This plan was proposed by the mayor, but I heard that you did this for personal reasons.
How can we end this now?"
"Then please ask the mayor to come forward and resolve this matter so that the people can return to their normal lives as soon as possible."
"You, you guys, didn't you agree to my original proposal? Now you're putting all the blame on one person?"
"We initially expressed our opposition, but it was not accepted."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's because we are so insignificant that our words don't count!"
………
Mayor Jiang was no longer flattered by everyone as before, which made him unable to vent his anger. He cursed Yan Fugui to death in his heart.
As for Yan Fugui, he originally disagreed to sell the shares of the land to Xiao Yichen. Instead, he brought up Mayor Jiang to force him to submit and give him money to invest.
He never expected this to happen. Before he knew what was going on, the person on the other end of the phone started scolding him.
Only then did he realize that the city was in chaos. Who would have thought that misfortunes never come singly? His Fugui Real Estate Company was exposed for using substandard construction materials, withholding workers' wages, and was even involved in a murder case.
The houses they built had many substandard features and now all their buildings need to be re-inspected.
The company was investigated, and its funding chain was cut off. Now it has closed down. The workers whose wages he owed were furious. They went to the entrance of the government building with banners and joined the already powerful organization.
