Chapter 1037: Confidence
Anyone who became that organization’s target was definitely not ordinary people.
Therefore, after staying locked up for so long, the only decision he made was to come up with a foolproof way to get rid of Zhong Nuannuan after his release. Otherwise, Zhong Qianqian would be exposed one day. And when the truth had been unearthed, it would soon be his turn.
Zhong Kuijun lay in the hard bed, frowning.
After enjoying many years of luxury, he was no longer used to hard beds like the ones at the military base.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door—a lot of them too.
Zhong Kuijun jolted and sat up from the bed slowly.
The door opened.
Zhong Kuijun looked at the door, beaming with hope. He hoped that it was Qianqian, or whoever from a first-tier wealthy family supporting Qianqian, or the people from the justice department.
That way, the chances of him getting out was 90%. Even if he could not get out, he would go to jail for a year at most. Then, he could get out of jail through compa.s.sionate release.
Zhong Kuijun looked at the door expectantly.
The person who came in was from the justice department—the person who arrested him. After coming in, he looked at Zhong Kuijun with an unreadable expression and then moved aside.
Zhong Kuijun nearly burst out laughing.
If that was not helplessness in the man’s eyes, Zhong Kuijun did not know what was!
(The comrade from the justice department thought, ‘…which eye of yours saw that? Come, let me help you extract it and then, cleanse it!’)
However, the faint curl on the corner of his lips froze the moment he saw Nangong Nuannuan.
“Nuan… Nuannuan? Why is it you?”
Zhong Kuijun was shocked. Could it be that Nuannuan was the one who had been helping him from the outside this whole time?
“Why? If it’s not me, are you expecting Zhong Qianqian to be here?”
At that moment, Zhong Kuijun withdrew his guesses.
Forget it, his utmost priority was to leave this place.
“How’s that possible? I’ve always thought that only that wicked girl would help me. It’s just that… you seemed to have misunderstood me last time, so I didn’t expect it would be you.”
Then, Zhong Kuijun looked at the people from the justice department and asked with a smile, “Then… can I go out with you now?”
Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “As a commander, you helped KE launder money and use Cloud Group’s warehouse to help store their firearms. Then, you followed Qu Mingyi and Luo Shangyi’s orders to harm your comrades, consequently causing the death of many soldiers. The entire Jiang District is in such a mess because of all of you. After all that, my Big Brother Chi Yang had to wipe your b.u.t.ts after you. What convinced you that you can leave? Why did that confidence come from?”
Zhong Kuijun’s face had already frozen in shock when Zhong Nuannuan mentioned him helping KE launder money.
The more she spoke, the paler Zhong Kuijun’s face became.
It was when Nuannuan mentioned Qu Mingyi and Luo Shangyi did Zhong Kuijun’s face turn completely ashen.
He had been following Luo Shangyi’s orders and Luo Shangyi was all he knew about. He did not know Qu Mingyi at all.
He thought about the person who always acted so righteously in front of him but also so easygoing he reminded Zhong Kuijun of a sly fox. Was he… also one of KE’s people?
If even Zhong Nuannuan knew about this, that meant Chi Yang must have told her this.
In other words, not only was he in trouble now, even Luo Shangyi and Qu Mingyi were in trouble.
No wonder… no one came to interrogate him.
That meant he would never get out of here, did it not?
The thought of spending the rest of his life in prison was unacceptable to Zhong Kuijun.
