Lu Yuan is unaware that Zhou Tong has been wrongfully imprisoned.
After returning to his residence, Jiang Wenguang immediately took the two plants he had with him.
Lu Yuan was overjoyed at the sight and was about to leave with the two plants he had obtained, but Jiang Wenguang grabbed him.
"Brother Lu, it seems there's a problem."
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback after hearing Jiang Wenguang's words.
He turned to look at the other person and asked, "Oh, is there any other problem?"
"It's...it's Brother Zhou. He attended an auction and asked me to come back and let you know. He might not have enough money. Why don't we hurry over? I'm worried that something might have happened to Brother Zhou!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan frowned immediately: "What kind of auction is it?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wenguang recounted the whole story.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's expression turned serious, revealing a solemn look.
"But it seems there's something wrong with the organizers of this auction."
After saying that, Lu Yuan immediately put down what he had and then followed Jiang Wenguang toward the black market.
After arriving at the destination and making some inquiries, the people being asked immediately showed a look of shock when they learned that Lu Yuan wanted to inquire about auctions in the black market.
"Brother, you're going to the black market auction? Seriously? Are you crazy? That auction isn't for just anyone."
A stall owner nearby nodded repeatedly.
"I just heard that a group of soldiers came to the auction and started arresting people. They took everyone away."
Upon hearing that someone had been arrested, Lu Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
He quickly yielded to the other person and asked them a question.
"What's going on? Who's been arrested?"
The other person scratched their head, but ultimately shook their head.
"Who knows?"
However, after the other person finished speaking, they couldn't help but turn their head to look at Lu Yuan.
"You can find out about this by investigating at the military headquarters. They can keep track of the names of all the people arrested by Lu Yuan every day!"
You can find out by spending a little money to inquire inside the prison! But if you want to get someone out, that might be a bit more complicated!
The other people nearby also chimed in, agreeing that what the other person said was true; they were currently in an adaptation phase in prison and were not under government jurisdiction.
Therefore, private prisons mainly rely on funds obtained through cooperation with the government, and also generate some other additional income.
For example, they could publish the prisoners' information and collect a portion of the profits when Lu Yuan's family came to visit him in prison, or they could coordinate to get him released, but this would require collecting a large amount of operating funds.
After expressing his gratitude to them, Lu Yuan immediately led Jiang Wenguang toward the prison.
The prison is located in front of a separate building.
The area around the building is covered with all sorts of barbed wire, and the area below is reportedly flooded.
There are also cannibals being raised in the water, so if someone wants to escape, they'd better think twice about whether they can get out alive.
After arriving outside the prison, and after making some inquiries, they indeed found a management office located on the prison side.
The management office is specifically responsible for handling the communication between prisoners' families and the prison. Through them, prisoners can enjoy visitation privileges by paying a small fee.
However, this sum of money is by no means a small amount; most families simply cannot afford it.
Therefore, the people who can come here are basically leaders from various camps in the vicinity.
After Lu Yuan paid the fee without hesitation, he immediately saw a hint of joy on the administrator's face.
It was obvious that the other party would receive a commission after achieving this target, but Lu Yuan wasn't sure how much.
After the other party made a phone call, news came quickly.
“Mr. Lu Yuan, Mr. Jiang, I have found out about the services you need. It is true that a man named Zhou Tong was detained here last night!”
It's only been about twelve hours. Are you sure you want to see him now? Seeing him at this time might be more expensive!
Although the other party said it would be best to think it over carefully, Lu Yuan could tell from his expression and actions that this person was definitely eager for Lu Yuan to pay the money.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Now, once we see Zhou Tong, we'll know exactly why he was arrested.
He wanted to know the reason, and the people from the military said that he was arrested for illegally possessing prohibited items.
Lu Yuan still doesn't quite understand what exactly was prohibited at that auction.
He couldn't understand why these people had such a pretext to arrest Zhou Tong.
After confirming that they could meet, Lu Yuan and Jiang Guang followed each other towards the prison.
The prison was dimly lit, and the screams of prisoners could be heard from time to time.
Lu Yuan frowned as he listened; it wasn't that he had never been to a prison before.
On the contrary, he had been to the prison many times before, but this time he came not on his own but to rescue someone. So he experienced firsthand how anxious his family had been when they went to the prison to rescue him.
Upon arriving at one of the prison buildings, the middleman asked Lu Yuan to wait in the reception room while he went to bring Zhou Tong over.
The so-called reception room was nothing more than an empty room with only a table and two chairs.
The room was surrounded by cameras, showing that it was very heavily guarded.
After a while, the sound of shackles being dragged on the ground came from outside.
Lu Yuan's brows furrowed more and more as he listened, veins bulging on his forehead, and he even wanted to vent his inner anger.
However, since this is a prison, even if he is very strong, he cannot possibly defeat everyone in here.
It is said that there are more than 2,000 guards in this prison, which holds nearly 100,000 people.
These 100,000 people are the tools for making money in this prison.
Soon, the door opened, and Zhou Tong, covered in blood, was carried in.
The prison guards unceremoniously threw him to the ground, then turned and closed the gate.
Upon seeing Zhou Tong's appearance, Lu was immediately filled with rage.
He rushed over and helped Zhou Tong up.
After being helped up, Zhou Tong showed a pained expression on his face.
Lu Yuan quickly checked him over.
It was discovered that Zhou Tong's ribs had been deformed from the blow, indicating that he had been hit by a heavy object.
