Inside the detention room of the Minghai City Guard Bureau!

During the past couple of days, after giving testimony against Han Zhimin and Shi Qiang, Huang Zongyuan received far better treatment than in the previous days; now, he had a single room all to himself, and his daily task was to think about the potential evidence against Shi Qiang, Han Zhimin, and Han Fei.

The door suddenly opened, and Huang Zongyuan immediately looked up at the entrance. A young man walked in from outside!

When Huang Zongyuan saw who it was, his heart couldn't help but shudder, a reaction he hadn't even had when meeting Yang Ming.

Huang Zongyuan understood that his fate was now in the palm of this young man. Whether he lived or died also laid in a mere thought from him!

"Mr. Huang, you seem to be in good spirits today!" Ye Xiao said with a smile to Huang Zongyuan.

At the moment, Huang Zongyuan's right hand was bandaged, but it was no longer bleeding!

"Brother Xiao, why have you come? Is what I wrote useful?" Huang Zongyuan spoke, naturally in an attempt to remind Ye Xiao that since he had written those things, perhaps it was time to let him go?

"It's useful. As long as Mr. Huang cooperates well, it is indeed useful. However, right now there's one more thing I need to ask Mr. Huang about," Ye Xiao said.

"What is it?" Huang Zongyuan immediately asked.

"Three years ago, you and Shi Qiang swallowed up Lin Yaoguang's company. Shi Qiang got thirty percent of the shares, and you got seventy percent, didn't you?" Ye Xiao looked at Huang Zongyuan, saying coldly.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, how could Huang Zongyuan not understand what Ye Xiao was getting at?

"That was because…" Huang Zongyuan started to explain.

But Ye Xiao just waved his hand and said, "But I'm convinced it wasn't like that. I'm dealing with the enemies of the Lin family now. Let me share my analysis. I think Shi Qiang wanted to avoid suspicion that he was responsible for Lin Yaoguang's misfortune, so he deliberately let you have the majority of the shares. And you, you were probably just holding them temporarily for Shi Qiang. So, I think, Shi Qiang is utterly culpable, Mr. Huang at most is an accessory to the crime."

Huang Zongyuan, listening to Ye Xiao's words, was first stunned, then looking at Ye Xiao, clearly somewhat puzzled about what Ye Xiao really meant.

"Don't understand?" Ye Xiao looked at Huang Zongyuan.

Huang Zongyuan thought for a bit and then realized, Ye Xiao was waving the banner of revenge for the Lin family; this was Ye Xiao's way of getting the shares in his hands.

Huang Zongyuan really didn't want to let go, but now he was confined to this small room. Maybe, if Ye Xiao became unhappy, he might be sent back to that hellish prison, an outcome Huang Zongyuan absolutely couldn't bear to imagine.

"Brother Xiao, you're right, Shi Qiang made me do it. I can transfer the shares to you right now!" Huang Zongyuan said.

The only thing Huang Zongyuan wanted now was to find a way to save himself. Whatever loyalty or brotherhood there was, he couldn't care about that anymore. He didn't want to suffer that inhumane torture again!

"Mr. Huang, I knew you were only someone who'd been fooled. Where is the stock ownership transfer agreement? I've brought it with me. You just need to sign and make a thumbprint," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

Just then, Song Jiamin walked in from outside, holding two copies of the agreement.

Huang Zongyuan, looking at those two agreements, suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of desolation. He vividly remembered how, three years ago, he had forced Lin Yaoguang to sign the stock ownership transfer agreement in a dark room. It was bitterly ironic that today, three years later, he would find himself receiving the same treatment as Lin Yaoguang.

Huang Zongyuan looked at the place to sign on the agreement and found, to his amazement, that his name was already there, and the handwriting was nearly identical to his own!

"This…" Huang Zongyuan looked at the name on the agreement, unable to comprehend how his name appeared there when he hadn't signed. Who wrote it? How could it be so similar to his own handwriting?

Ye Xiao said with a smile, "Mr. Huang, all you need to do now is apply your thumbprint. As for the signature, I've taken the liberty of signing on your behalf. If it's not too good, please don't hold it against me."

Hearing that it was Ye Xiao who had signed, Huang Zongyuan was shocked at how expertly Ye Xiao could imitate someone else's handwriting.

Then, Huang Zongyuan made his thumbprint on the paper.

Ye Xiao, holding the agreement, looked it over and then with a slight smile, said to Huang Zongyuan, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Huang. As for matters concerning the Lin family, let's not talk about them."

Huang Zongyuan, hearing Ye Xiao's words, suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

"Brother Xiao, thank you. I will definitely reform and be a new man," Huang Zongyuan thought Ye Xiao was going to release him.

However, Ye Xiao just smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Huang, please be patient. I think you should meet someone."

"Oh?" Huang Zongyuan, hearing Ye Xiao's words, was immediately very puzzled.

At that moment, someone walked in through the door. This person was Han Xuewei, who was still wearing a mourning band on her arm.

Han Xuewei had been summoned by Ye Xiao right after the funeral procession for Han Jianjun had concluded.

"It's…it's you?" Huang Zongyuan was genuinely startled when he saw Han Xuewei. He was no fool; Han Xuewei's appearance here at this time clearly spelled nothing good for Huang Zongyuan.

"Brother Xiao... Brother Xiao," Huang Zongyuan barely managed a smile on his face as he addressed Ye Xiao, "What... what does this mean?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I can only guarantee that regarding the matters of the Lin family, you will be safe and sound. However, it's unfortunate that you've done too much evil, and you killed Han Jianjun. Although the law does take into account personal factors, you can't expect it to be lenient time and again, can you? If that were the case, how would it maintain authority? Right?"

Huang Zongyuan looked at Ye Xiao, who now wore an expression of helplessness.

Han Xuewei gazed at Huang Zongyuan, who was once glorious but now trapped in prison.

"Huang Zongyuan, you killed my uncle three years ago and now you have killed my father. Today, I will take revenge for them!" Han Xuewei glared at Huang Zongyuan with gritted teeth.

Huang Zongyuan hurriedly looked at Ye Xiao for help, pleading, "Brother Xiao, I am still useful. Don't you want Han Zhimin to fall from power? I can accuse Han Zhimin in court; I can support you."

Ye Xiao laughed softly and said, "That won't be necessary."

Just then, Han Xuewei added, "Huang Zongyuan, do you know why we're not using legal means to punish you? With the evidence we have now, a firing squad execution would be too lenient. But we're not going to go through legal channels because we want you to experience firsthand just how cruel the darkness can be."

"Han Xuewei, if you dare, then kill me!" Huang Zongyuan could see the situation clearly now—if not, he'd be a real fool.

Han Xuewei slightly smiled and said, "Kill you? Do you think that's hard to do? But, that would be letting you off too easily."

Han Xuewei didn't want to look at Huang Zongyuan anymore, so she turned to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao commanded, "Bring in the once glorious Mr. Huang to cell number one!"

Cell number one?

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Huang Zongyuan nearly fell apart. How could he not know what cell number one was? It was the place in the Guard Bureau where he had initially endured the worst humiliations. And now he was about to be thrown back into it.

"Ye Xiao, you son of a bitch! You have no integrity!" Huang Zongyuan yelled at Ye Xiao.

But Ye Xiao wasn't angry at all, still chuckling as he watched Huang Zongyuan rage like a madman. "I have no integrity? Heh, what can you do about it? I imagine in many situations, you've done the same to others without any integrity."

Treat others as they have treated you!

This was the best punishment for Huang Zongyuan!

On hearing Ye Xiao's words, Huang Zongyuan was stunned. At this moment, he finally understood what karma meant.

Several police officers came in and took Huang Zongyuan away. He yelled and screamed the entire way, but not a single officer sympathized with him.

Once a significant figure in Minghai City, Huang Zongyuan was now tormented because of Ye Xiao's intervention. Everyone understood that being taken to cell number one again likely meant there would be no more days outside for him.

Seeing Huang Zongyuan finally judged, Han Xuewei's legs gave way, and she almost fell. Fortunately, Ye Xiao, quick to react, caught her.

Song Jiamin also immediately came to Han Xuewei's other side to support her.

"Miss Han, are you okay?" Song Jiamin asked with concern.

Han Xuewei looked at Song Jiamin and said, "Officer Song, thank you."

Han Xuewei was genuinely grateful to Song Jiamin. Although it was because of Ye Xiao's involvement, Song Jiamin had genuinely helped her a great deal.

"Miss Han, there's no need for thanks. You're a friend of Ye Xiao's, and I'm his friend as well. Helping out is only natural. Besides, Huang Zongyuan truly is a heinous criminal. Now that Uncle Han is gone, the whole company is on your shoulders. You must stay strong!" Song Jiamin said to Han Xuewei earnestly.

Hearing Song Jiamin's words, Han Xuewei nodded and replied, "I definitely will."

Ye Xiao and Song Jiamin supported Han Xuewei as they left the Guard Bureau. Han Xuewei had driven there, so after leaving the bureau, they helped her into the passenger seat of her car. Of course, Ye Xiao intended to take Han Xuewei back home.

Ye Xiao did not immediately drive Han Xuewei away but instead, pulled Song Jiamin aside for a talk.

Seeing Ye Xiao pull her aside, with Han Xuewei watching from the car, Song Jiamin quickly asked, "What's up? What's going on?"

Ye Xiao smiled and asked, "When are you free?"

"For what? Are you asking me out for dinner?" Song Jiamin asked, puzzled.

Ye Xiao promptly said, "Dinner? No, I mean going to the Noel Hotel."

"Ah?" Song Jiamin frowned upon hearing Ye Xiao's words and said, "What's on your mind all the time?"

Of course, Song Jiamin thought that if Ye Xiao wanted to go to the Noel Hotel, it definitely involved activities in bed.

Ye Xiao knew what Song Jiamin was thinking and said with a chuckle, "Right, you haven't taken birth control, have you?"
