Chapter 810: Chapter 815: Qingyang Society (Part 2)
As soon as the words "Qingyang Society" were uttered, the faces of Huang Bai and Luo Yuan immediately changed. The two exchanged a glance and saw a hint of fear in each other’s eyes.
Looking at Ling Chen, who was smiling benignly nearby, although they were unwilling, they were more afraid of the Qingyang Society.
Seeing that they hadn’t spoken for a long time, Luo Haicheng’s tone involuntarily turned cold, and he said lightly, "What’s the matter? Didn’t you hear what I said, or do you want to go against my Qingyang Society?"
"No, no, no," Huang Bai and Luo Yuan quickly waved their hands and said with flattering smiles, "Mr. Luo, since you’ve spoken, how dare we not listen? Rest assured, we will definitely not cause any trouble for Ling Chen."
"It’d better be so. If I find out that you go back on your word and play tricks behind the scenes, don’t blame us for being impolite. Alright, all of you leave, don’t be an eyesore here."
"Yes." Huang Bai and the others responded and immediately turned to leave.
After they left, Ling Chen looked at Luo Haicheng and asked, "Mr. Luo, may I ask, the Qingyang Society you mentioned just now is..."
"It’s them, take them down."
At this moment, before Ling Chen finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen men in suits holding riot shields and electric batons quickly run over, surrounding Ling Chen and Luo Haicheng in the center.
Luo Haicheng shouted coldly, "What are you doing?"
"Mr. Luo, don’t get angry. You violated the prison rules first, they are just following the rules, don’t make it difficult for them." A voice came, and two men in suits retreated to both sides, making way. Immediately afterward, a man in a striped suit walked over with his hands behind his back, a spring-breeze-like smile on his face, nodded slightly at Ling Chen, and said, "Mr. Ling, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect we would meet again here."
Upon seeing the person coming, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed involuntarily, flashing with a cold light. However, Ling Chen concealed it well. After taking a look at the other party, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a faint smile, and said, "Yu Peng, it has been a long time, you’re still the same, haven’t changed a bit."
Yu Peng, was the prison director of Yan City Prison.
Back then, due to work, Ling Chen had once met Yu Peng, so he had some impression of this person.
"Mr. Ling, you and I can be considered old friends. I am truly sorry; I have been too busy these days and should have visited you earlier. Fortunately, I have some free time today, so I came over to say hello. Considering our past cooperation, feel free to let me know if you have any requests, and I will try to satisfy you."
Hearing this, Ling Chen said with a skin-deep smile, "You’re too kind, but I have no requests, just hope to stay quietly for a while, best if no one bothers me." After pausing, Ling Chen continued, "Yu Peng, you’ve known me for quite a while, you know better than anyone what I used to do, so... we’d better coexist peacefully, don’t you think?"
"Mr. Ling, you’re right, but..." Yu Peng changed his tone and said, "The prison has its rules. No matter who breaks them, they should pay the corresponding price. Mr. Ling, although I am the prison director of Yan City Prison, I have always been fair and just in action and will never abuse power for personal gain. The rules of Yan City Prison are very clear; private fighting among prisoners is prohibited. But you knowingly broke the rules. If I don’t punish it severely, how could I manage other prisoners in the future?"
After speaking, Yu Peng waved his hand, and two men in suits immediately stepped forward to grasp Ling Chen’s arms firmly.
Ling Chen frowned and said, "Yu Peng, you... Ah!" Before he could finish his sentence, Ling Chen’s expression changed drastically; his words turned into a cry of pain, his body following with convulsions, his legs going limp, without the strength to stand.
"Take him away."
"Yes."
Under the pull of the two men in suits, Ling Chen gave up resisting and let them drag him. After being struck by the specially enhanced electric baton, his whole body was in a paralyzed state, unable to gather any strength, with sore and swollen muscles, indescribably uncomfortable.
After watching Ling Chen get dragged away, Yu Peng turned his head to look at Luo Haicheng and said, "Mr. Luo, you are a person of the Qingyang Society. Today, I’m giving your Qingyang Society face by not pursuing your fault. I hope you don’t make the same mistake again, hurry back."
An hour later, Ling Chen was thrown back into the cell.
Seeing Ling Chen lying on the ground, Qin Genglong ran over quickly, helped Ling Chen up, and asked with a concerned expression, "Ling, how are you?"
Ling Chen opened his mouth slightly and said weakly, "It’s okay, just... help me to the bed first."
Once he got onto the bed, Ling Chen endured the pain in his body and took off his top. Instantly, his back was covered with scars, like it had been whipped, bloody and mangled.
Seeing the bloody wounds, Qin Genglong’s expression changed immediately, and he asked angrily, "Who did this?"
Ling Chen weakly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it’s all in the past, no need to bring it up any more." Although he said that, Ling Chen was cursing in his heart.
Yu Peng, that bastard, dared to treat me like this, not only starving me but also daring to use torture. What benefits did that bastard receive to torture me like this?
Yu, just you wait, sooner or later you’ll pay for this.
Due to the severe injuries, Ling Chen soon fell into a deep sleep after lying on the bed.
This sleep lasted until the next morning, and he was awakened by the sound of someone knocking on the cell. Ling Chen opened his eyes, endured the pain in his back, and struggled to sit up, propping himself up on the bed with his hands.
"Get up quickly, stop dawdling."
Qin Genglong, who had long been awake, said discontentedly, "Ling Chen has suffered such severe injuries, why send him out for exercise? He should rest well in the room."
The security outside sneered and said, "Who do you think you are? When is it your turn to give orders here? If you don’t want trouble, shut your mouth obediently. You have two minutes to get ready. If anyone dawdles, don’t blame me for being rude."
"These bastards..." Qin Genglong cursed indignantly, "Really want to kill them."
"Forget it, don’t get angry, no need to argue with people like them. Old Qin, do me a favor and help me up."
Coming out of the cell, Ling Chen and Qin Genglong supported each other and followed the prison security to the exercise field.
"Ling Chen, come, sit over here."
Sitting on the bench, Ling Chen didn’t dare lean back against the seat, fearing touching the wounds. Those bastards went all out without restraint, doing whatever it took.
"Hey, Old Qin, I have something to ask you."
"What’s up?"
"Do you know what the Qingyang Society is?" Ling Chen asked curiously. Yesterday, when dealing with Luo Haicheng, the other party mentioned the Qingyang Society. Moreover, seeing the expressions of Huang Bai and Luo Yuan at that time, they seemed to be very afraid of the Qingyang Society, so Ling Chen wanted to know what exactly was the background of that Qingyang Society.
