Hearing this, Wan Lei looked at the chubby guy in surprise, wondering what was going on with this guy. He had held out for over a decade without confessing, so why was he confessing now?
Never mind him, let's continue grilling skewers. It's most important that Sister Xiaoyu eats well. Whether you confess or not is none of my business.
Wan Lei continued to grill skewers, ignoring the chubby guy. However, the chubby guy's shouting was too loud. After a few seconds, Qi Heng appeared at the end of the corridor on the tenth row.
Qi Heng flashed to a spot not far from Wan Lei. He first looked at the chubby guy who kept shouting to confess, then at Wan Lei who was happily grilling skewers, and immediately understood what was happening.
"Brother, you're amazing. Your move is truly impressive. We've been trying to get him to confess for over a decade, and you've managed it in a few days. Awesome, I'll give you half of the merit points awarded this time."
Qi Heng laughed heartily and strutted over to the chubby guy's window. "Tell me, what's the truth?"
"I... if you tell me, you'll give me a skewer of grilled meat... no, two skewers."
"Okay, I promise."
Qi Heng immediately agreed generously.
"The one who hired me was the person who gave me the poisoned pill. He's Qu Yang, a disciple of the Pill Hall. He had a grudge against that family but couldn't openly seek revenge, so he gave me fifty million spirit stones and the poisoned pill, telling me to just drop it at that family's place.
I didn't expect the people from that family to have someone taking pictures, and they called the police before dying, so I was caught."
"Hahahaha, you should have said it earlier! Honestly, you've delayed us for so long.
Alright, Brother Wan, give him two skewers."
Qi Heng waved his hand casually, but Wan Lei didn't budge.
"I didn't want this chubby guy to confess. I was just grilling skewers for Fang Xiaoyu. Whether he confesses or not is none of my business. Don't even think about taking my grilled skewers."
Qi Heng looked at Wan Lei, who was engrossed in grilling skewers with disdain, his eyelids twitching. Damn it, you were just trying to make a point, and it turned out to be a success?
Besides, can that little girl eat all those skewers on your rack?
"Give me two skewers, and I'll let you have seventy percent of the merit points."
Keeping his promises is Qi Heng's principle.
"What do I need merit points for?"
"Oh, just think of it as me buying them from you, alright? Give me some face."
Qi Heng pleaded humbly.
Seeing this, Wan Lei didn't want to make things difficult for Qi Heng, so he reluctantly gave two large meat skewers to Qi Heng.
Qi Heng took them, handed them directly to the chubby guy, who began to devour them.
"Alright, I've reported it. The security department is probably already going to arrest Qu Yang. Let's just wait for the merit points to arrive."
Qi Heng was in a good mood. He sat down casually on the ground, picked up a skewer, and started eating.
"You've earned merit this time. I'll mention it to the wardens, and they won't hold you accountable for giving prisoners hot pot and grilled skewers in the prison."
Wan Lei's mouth twitched. This wasn't a big deal in the first place, was it? Would the wardens punish me for this?
At this moment, the chubby guy finished his skewers. He licked all the seasoning and oil off the iron skewers. But he had a large appetite, and two skewers weren't enough.
So, he looked longingly at the barbecue grill again.
"What are you looking at? Gone, scram."
Wan Lei quickly shielded the barbecue grill.
"Uh, brothers, to be honest, I was afraid of trouble with the fifty million spirit stones, so I didn't dare to deposit them in the bank or carry them on me. Instead, I hid them outside the sect."
Wan Lei and Qi Heng exchanged glances, and the two of them instantly lined up in front of the chubby guy.
"Tell us through transmission."
The chubby guy swallowed, extended his two hands,
"Ten skewers."
"Deal."
"Give me a little of what you make every day from now on."
"Impossible, I'm not your cook. Whether I give you some depends on my mood."
Wan Lei said unhappily.
"Alright, alright. Those spirit stones were hidden with a friend outside the sect. I paid him three million spirit stones to keep them for me, and he also wrote an IOU.
The IOU is in my storage bag. You take it, find my friend, and have him give you the spirit stones."
"Where is your friend? It's been over a decade? Hasn't he absconded with the money?"
"Oh my, my good big brother, with the capabilities of our Five Elements Hall, where would he escape that we couldn't find him? Would he dare to escape?
However, since he couldn't contact me for so many years, he probably thinks I'm in trouble and might swallow the money. But it's okay, when you get there, just say that the Five Elements Hall is here to reclaim the prisoner's ill-gotten gains on behalf of the authorities, and a little scare would make him hand it over.
He's just a Tai Xu realm cultivator, he can't withstand being scared."
"Alright, where is it?"
"There's an island in the middle of Qinghu Lake in Hushan County, south of Chang'an City. He's there. His name is Xu Yan. You'll find him when you get there."
"Alright."
Qi Heng nodded, then looked at Wan Lei and held out a palm.
Wan Lei also held out a palm.
A fifty-fifty split.
Both of them wore wicked smiles.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at Wan Lei with some concern, worried that this guy might be corrupted by Qi Heng.
The Five Elements Hall was very efficient. Qu Yang was in the Pill Hall, and the Enforcement Hall went straight there and arrested him.
After Qu Yang was arrested, he heard that Liu Pang had confessed him, and he was heartbroken and confessed everything.
By evening, Qu Yang was brought to the prison and sentenced to life imprisonment.
As it happened, he was placed in Group Thirteen.
When Qi Heng escorted him over, Wan Lei was stunned, and then, with a wicked amusement, he confined Qu Yang in the cell opposite Liu Pang.
And then...
"Liu Pang, you damned bastard! You took my money and didn't do anything right! You said you wouldn't betray me!"
"You're talking nonsense! I can't even save myself and will never get out of here in this lifetime. How can I watch you enjoy yourself outside!"
"You dog thief, you broke your promise."
"For mutton skewers, what's wrong with betraying you? At least it can get me mutton skewers to eat."
"I'm only worth two skewers of mutton?"
"Not even worth three!"
Amidst their shouting, Wan Lei and Qi Heng happily finished their work and left.
After everyone else had left, Wan Lei and Qi Heng went to his office. Qi Heng took out a key from the drawer and opened small cabinet number eighty-eight on the tenth row, taking out a storage bag.
After forcibly erasing the host's consciousness, he found an IOU inside.
Everything else was left as is and put back into the cabinet.
Qi Heng had principles and didn't take anything he shouldn't.
Wan Lei watched Qi Heng put the key back into the drawer, remembering its location, and followed Qi Heng out of the prison.
He still had to retrieve Fang Xiaoyu's storage bag, which contained Fang Xiaoyu's weapon and their house.
After leaving the prison, the two of them stealthily took out their airships. Wan Lei got into Qi Heng's airship and headed straight for the spatial teleportation point.
Destination set: Qinghu Lake, Hushan County. Jump.
