Basement of Xinyi Society Hall
At this time, in the dim and damp basement, Ji Ye's family and the core members of the triad were imprisoned here.
Su Nuan and others came here under the leadership of Lao K.
At this time, Mr. Ji was sitting weakly in the corner. He no longer had the vigor and ambition of a hero in the past. At the age of forty, he looked much older.
The hair turned white overnight. The once graceful lady sat there crying, while her teenage children huddled beside her, their eyes revealing anxiety and fear.
The core members of the triad had their hands and feet tied and huddled on the other side.
The people in the basement saw someone coming and looked over here.
Su Nuan stood not far away, staring at Ji Ye, but Ji Ye did not react at this time. Su Nuan did not get angry when he saw that Ji Ye ignored him, but chuckled and spoke.
"Master Ji, we meet again. The last time we met you were so majestic in Temple Street, but now you've become a prisoner. What a cycle of life!"
Mr. Ji remained unmoved, and Su Nuan continued.
"We have no grudges against each other. Last time on Temple Street, I intended to let it go, but you attacked me again and again. You can't blame me for taking revenge on you now that you've fallen into this situation."
"Su Nuan, I accept the consequences of victory and defeat. You can kill me or chop me up as you please, but my children are still young and they were not involved. I hope you can let them go."
"Master Ji, you're telling me that those unrelated people are innocent? Then my company's security guards were beaten and seriously injured, aren't they innocent? My three bodyguards were in a car accident and are now lying in the hospital unable to move, aren't they innocent?"
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to be protected by them, I wouldn't be standing here today. You, Master Ji, don't take human life seriously. Don't you think it's ridiculous to tell me this now?"
"What do you want?"
"Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding citizen and I won't kill anyone, but I won't let you go so easily. You've always said I'm from mainland China."
"Then I'll have you all sent to the mainland. Do you want to know how the mainland treats you, the unforgivable criminals?"
Ji Ye was anxious at this time. He knew that if they were sentenced according to the laws of Hong Kong, although they would be imprisoned if they were guilty, in Hong Kong as long as they had money and were willing to pay, they could be acquitted. But this was not the case in the mainland. The mainland had strict law and order, and people like them would have no way out if they were sentenced.
"You can't do this. We are from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is under the jurisdiction of Country Y. The mainland has no right to judge us."
"That's true, but with my ability, sending you back to the mainland and changing your identities shouldn't be difficult. As for the verdict, it'll depend on the laws of China."
At this time, Brother Nan and several key members who were listening on the side became anxious and shouted loudly at Lao K.
"Old K, you can't go back on your word. You promised us that you would let me go."
Old K looked at the few people and said in a deep voice.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. My words don't count."
Brother Nan and his companions' expressions changed drastically, and at this moment Brother Nan kowtowed and begged Su Nuan.
"Miss Su, you are so magnanimous. I am just a lackey. Everything was ordered by Master Ji. I was just following his orders. Please give us a way out."
"Don't want to die? Want to live?"
"Yes, Miss Su, please spare our lives, please."
The other key members on the side kowtowed and begged Su Nuan.
Su Nuan was annoyed by their noise and shouted loudly.
"Shut up, be quiet"
After hearing Su Nuan's words, several people were so scared that they dared not make a sound. Now their lives were decided by Su Nuan, and they could not offend her.
"I can spare your lives, but I can't escape the death penalty. You can go to the farm for reform. It will also be considered as helping the country's construction."
When they heard that they could survive, they no longer cared about the hardship of future transformation and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Two of the timid ones collapsed to the ground after hearing that they would not die.
The basement was dark, damp, and smelled bad. After Su Nuan stayed in there for a while, she felt short of breath and decided to stay there any longer.
"Brother K, let's go out first."
"Yeah, okay."
After saying that, several people walked out of the basement.
After coming up from the basement, Lao K led a group of people to the reception room of the hall. After everyone was seated, his younger brothers served tea to everyone.
Old K asked as he took a sip from the teacup.
"Xiao Nuan sister, what are you going to do with Chen Zhaoji's wife and children?"
"Let them go to the farm with Brother Nan and the others for transformation."
"Most people would think they are innocent, so why don't you let them go?"
"Although they didn't do anything unforgivable, as Chen Zhaoji's family members, they were the direct beneficiaries of the benefits Chen Zhaoji gained from his crimes. This is their original sin."
"Well said, Sister Nuan, I was right about you. Although I'm not a scholar, I do know a saying: If you don't remove the roots, they'll grow back in the spring breeze. Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself. You're being kind enough by giving them a chance to live instead of killing them all. Let them stay on the farm for reformation, and they won't cause any trouble in their lifetime."
"Brother K, you are worthy of being like this. You can see the problem clearly. I admire you."
"Hahaha, I admire you. I admire you. When I was your age, I was still working as a lackey to make a living, but you have such great energy. I can't help but admire you."
"Brother K, we are family and we should keep our differences. You are a loyal brother. From now on, we will treat each other as real siblings. I will remember what you did this time and offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."
