I told Zhuang Yuan all my plans and thoughts.
He hardly hesitated, and immediately agreed.
The moment he found me, he essentially put all his bets on me.
In theory, he could have just used the leverage he had to threaten Shen Hetai again.
After all, he had already made a deal with Shen Hetai before, and if he asked for money this time, he would surely get it.
But now, he came to me instead.
I guessed that either Shen Hetai had rejected his threats,
or Zhuang Yuan had seen through what kind of person Shen Hetai was and worried that Shen Hetai might be driven to do something desperate.
Either way, it was I who benefitted now.
I agreed with Zhuang Yuan on a time to meet the next day, and then we both nonchalantly went back to our positions.
Early the next day, I took a taxi and waited outside Qingpu District Prison.
A gust of wind blew as I stared intently at the tightly closed gates.
