Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: From Now On, We’re Family
"Big brother, what are you talking about? Once we’re inside this big door, we’re family. Since we’re family..."
"Cut the crap, I’m just asking if you can do it." Xiao Zheng said, slightly speechless.
Scar really changes expressions quickly.
"Yes, of course I can, big brother, if there’s anything, just say it." Scar quickly shut up, showing an attentive stance.
"I want you to send some messages out to someone, can you do that?" Xiao Zheng thought for a moment and asked.
"That’s simple, big brother, don’t worry. Whatever message you want to deliver, just tell me." Scar promised confidently.
He even patted his chest with his hand, but unexpectedly it pulled at his wound, causing Scar to grimace in pain.
After Scar left, Xiao Zheng saw Gangzi at the corner, constantly swallowing at the food on the bed, so Xiao Dong said, "If you want to eat, go ahead. I don’t like eating these things."
"Ah? No, no, I can’t eat them. These are for big brother from Scar, how could I eat them?" Gangzi waved his hands repeatedly.
"If you don’t eat them, I’ll throw them away. I said I don’t eat these things." Xiao Zheng shrugged, speaking indifferently.
"Don’t, I’ll eat, I’ll eat." Gangzi shouted urgently.
The next day, while having breakfast, Xiao Zheng noticed the food he brought over was quite lavish, with things like chicken legs as big as fists—a real gourmet meal.
"Big brother, are you satisfied with the food? If there’s anything you like, just let me know, and I’ll have someone prepare it for you." Scar approached with a smiling face, cautiously asked.
"You know your stuff, it’s pretty good, this will do." Xiao Zheng nodded with satisfaction. There’s no denying that Scar truly knows how to handle things; getting to this stage proves his skills are not bad.
Scar was even more excited after receiving praise from Xiao Zheng.
While eating, Xiao Zheng had already seen Lei Gang from a distance, who was also looking in Xiao Zheng’s direction.
However, Xiao Zheng did nothing and did not seek out Lei Gang throughout breakfast.
Until it was time for lookout, Xiao Zheng went to the playground, glancing towards the corner, sure enough, Lei Gang was sitting there as usual.
After thinking it over, Xiao Zheng started walking over there.
Scar and his gang, from not far away, saw Xiao Zheng approaching, and quickly jogged over to greet him.
A group of people stood respectfully in front of Xiao Zheng, calling him big brother—it felt quite gratifying.
"Alright, alright, you guys go have fun, I have something to handle." Xiao Zheng waved his hand, speaking helplessly.
Scar’s enthusiasm made Xiao Zheng a bit hard to adapt.
Scar was about to leave, but seeing Xiao Zheng walking towards Lei Gang’s direction, couldn’t help but remind, "Big brother, be careful of that guy, he’s also very skilled, though not as skilled as you."
"That’s right, there won’t be any trouble, you all scatter." Xiao Zheng nodded, dispersing Scar’s gang, then quickly walked over to Lei Gang’s side.
Lei Gang was sitting on a long bench, but for a long time now, this bench had become Lei Gang’s designated spot, others dared not sit on it.
As for Xiao Zheng, he just plopped down directly.
Lei Gang beside him furrowed his brow but didn’t say anything.
"How long have you been here?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Lei Gang turned to look at Xiao Zheng, furrowed his brow slightly, thought about it, and finally spoke, "Half a year."
"Half a year, it’s been so long." Xiao Zheng felt quite emotional, just not sure if his suspicions were correct.
"Do you know Huo Wenshan?" Xiao Zheng continued asking.
Once he said this, Xiao Zheng instantly felt a sudden surge of icy chill emanate from beside him.
Lei Gang’s eyes suddenly widened, his breathing became rapid, but he still didn’t say a word.
Xiao Zheng was satisfied with the answer, nodded slightly, didn’t dwell on this question further but continued asking, "How did you end up here?"
"They accused me of murdering my wife." This time, Lei Gang didn’t hesitate, answering directly.
Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback, not expecting it to be for this reason. He didn’t speak further, falling into silence.
After a while, Lei Gang spoke up, "Thank you."
"Thank me? For what?" Xiao Zheng asked, puzzled.
"Thank you for not asking me if I really killed my wife." Lei Gang’s expression was slightly dark, seemingly recalling something unpleasant, his face twisted and grim.
"So, it was Huo Wenshan who framed you, right?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Lei Gang suddenly turned to look at Xiao Zheng, his whole body emanating intense hostility. He asked coldly, "Who exactly are you? Who sent you?"
"I was also framed by Huo Wenshan." Xiao Zheng shrugged, speaking offhandedly.
Lei Gang looked at Xiao Zheng with surprise, suddenly recalling what had happened with Gangzi earlier, and believed him somewhat in his heart. His expression grew even darker.
Even a master like Xiao Zheng could be framed and sent here, making it even less likely for him to get out.
After that, Lei Gang started talking about his own situation.
Indeed, Lei Gang was a martial artist. On an outing, when he returned, he found Huo Wenshan harassing his wife. He was very angry, even once wanting to kill Huo Wenshan, but ultimately couldn’t bring himself to do it.
However, at that time, when he secretly investigated Huo Wenshan, he discovered some of Huo Wenshan’s unspeakable misdeeds.
Huo Wenshan also found out, forcing him to hand them over, but he naturally refused to comply, so his wife was killed by Huo Wenshan.
Huo Wenshan was infuriated upon learning this and prepared to personally take revenge on Huo Wenshan.
But Huo Wenshan acted faster, arranging an accident that not only accused Lei Gang of his wife’s death but also landed him in prison.
In prison, Lei Gang initially thought he would expose those pieces of evidence but Huo Wenshan, in conjunction with the prison warden, completely cut off all his communication.
It’s true; cutting off communications for a mere prisoner is extremely easy.
And Huo Wenshan had no relatives, just alone here for half a year without finding a chance to reveal his evidence.
"Do you have evidence against Huo Wenshan?" Xiao Zheng looked at Lei Gang with excitement.
This was truly effortless—if he could obtain those pieces of evidence, Huo Wenshan would definitely be finished this time.
He had cut off Lei Gang’s communications, but now with Scar at his disposal, communication wasn’t an issue at all!
"Yes, but unfortunately, there hasn’t been an opportunity." Huo Wenshan sighed deeply and said.
"No, there will be opportunities." Xiao Zheng’s smile widened; he already knew what to do.
"What opportunity?" Huo Wenshan asked curiously, looking at Xiao Zheng.
"An opportunity to get you out, walking out openly!" Xiao Zheng’s smile grew increasingly radiant.
