Chapter 244 - 245: The person has already been beaten so badly, what more do you want?
Chu Wenze held his face and wailed, “Second Brother, let me explain, we just came to have dinner with Brother Jii. We didn’t do anything, we didn’t even say a bad word, I swear!”
He raised his hand to swear, glad he hadn’t had the nerve to utter a single offensive remark, or else he would have been skinned alive tonight.
Chu Dingbang raised an eyebrow and looked at him. “Really?”
“If you don’t believe me, ask Fifth Sister-in-Law!” Chu Wenze looked at Ye Xingbei with pleading eyes, pleading, “Fifth Sister-in-Law, please show mercy, help us make clear. Did we really do nothing?”
Ye Xingbei thought for a moment and nodded, “Yes.”
As if surviving a catastrophe, Chu Wenze breathed a sigh of relief, “Second Brother, did you hear that? We really just had dinner with Brother Jii. We didn’t do anything.”
“Yeah, yeah! Brother Chu, please, believe us. We didn’t do anything. This issue has nothing to do with us. Brother Chu, please be merciful and let us go.”
The other teenagers also pleaded with their mouths wide open.
They certainly didn’t want to be taken to the police station.
If they were taken to the police station and left a record, their fathers would kill them.
The key was, if they had done something, they would have admitted it. But they really didn’t do anything, they didn’t even make a sarcastic comment. They just laughed along with Jii Haomiao.
Just a few laughs and it’s enough to send them to the police station?
Chu Dingbang looked at Gu Junzhu with an inquiring gaze.
Gu Junzhu lowered his gaze to Ye Xingbei, “Did they really do nothing?”
Ye Xingbei thought again and shook her head, “They really did nothing.”
Gu Junzhu looked back at Chu Dingbang, “Let them go.”
He might be domineering, but he ain’t unreasonable.
Their just some teenagers. If he didn’t cut them some slack and sent them to the station, leaving behind a criminal record, their futures would maybe be ruined.
Raising a child is no easy task. But if there’s any possibility of leniency, he wouldn’t be relentless.
However, while the death penalty may not be, there’s no escaping the crime.
He’d let Gu Chi contact their parents later. Natural someone would sort them out!
The group of boys, as if amnesty had been granted to them, ran off as if they were running for their lives.
Jii Haomiao also wanted to go, but he couldn’t leave.
Gu Junzhu looked at Zhou Yun and said, “I am a man of principles. I don’t abuse private punishment, I just ask for justice. Take him away, my lawyer will follow, and will press for the penalty that is due. If the sentence is light, my lawyer will not agree! I don’t abuse private punishment, and you guys shouldn’t break the law for personal gain.”
Zhou Yun twitched his mouth and glanced at Jii Haomiao.
This was the great-grandson of Eldest Xiang!
He was actually supposed to take him back to the police station for questioning and not allowed to bend the law for personal gain.
If he actually charged Eldest Xiang’s grandson, Eldest Xiang could flatten their police station with a wave of his finger.
But if he didn’t take Jii Haomiao away, Fifth Lord of Gu was not easy to deal with either.
Zhou Yun looked troubled and truly understood the phrase “When the demons fight, the little ones suffer”.
The main thing was, this was not any major or serious case.
If this were a murder case or any major injustice, even if it cost him his badge, he would not bend the law for personal gain.
But there’s no real issue here, right?
The Fifth Lord’s people have basically suffered no real harm.
The most miserable one was actually the instigator, Young Master Jii.
Young Master Jii had been beaten up so badly, his face was covered in bruises, and he had lost several teeth. Even his own mother would have trouble recognising him now.
Having beaten him to such a sorry state, what more did they want?
