Surrounded
The video of Wei's arrest went viral in Weibo. Everybody saw the handcuffs on his wrists as the cops led him to the police van. Jiang Weizhe stood with his wife, Jiang Yubi, who witnessed the uproar. Her eyes were red and rimmed in tears, but she could do anything.
But amidst all this panic, Wei was calm and looked unaffected.
"Mr. Wei, tell us. Are all the allegations true?"
"Why have you been hiding until now from the police, Mr. Jiang?"
"What is your relationship with the woman?"
"You forced her and many such women into prostitution. Is it possible that you had illicit relations with them?"
"A couple and a four-year-old girl have been found dead, and it's the work of your gang. What do you say? Did they do it on your orders?"
No matter what questions or accusations were thrown at him, Wei remained unfazed. But someone from the mob was not. He threw an egg towards him that hit Wei on his head harshly. A small cut appeared on his temple and blood trickled down.
