Chapter 65

  After receiving a call from Gong Xi's father, Gong Xi really felt dizzy. He had once said that he couldn't live without him.

  He won't...?

  Although he was lucky enough to believe that Gong Xi wouldn't be so fragile and wouldn't do something so extreme, however...he didn't dare confirm it.

  Xingyun ran out as soon as the door opened, and Xing Hai picked up his own coat and Xingyun's down jacket from the clothes rack and chased after him.

  The lucky mother burst into tears at the time, "What to do? What to do? If something happens to this child, Palace Joy, isn't it all because of our family's luck?"

  Xing Dad held his partner's hand and comforted her in a soft voice: "It won't, it won't. Gong Xi is not that kind of narrow-minded person."

  But in his heart, he was also worried that something unexpected might happen to such a good child. The old man was also muttering to himself.

  He ran out of the gate of the community and was at a loss, the small city is not big, but it's also a city with several million people, where should he go to find her?

  Xing Hai also ran over, "First put on your outer clothes." Looking at Xing Yun's bewildered expression, Xing Hai said, "Let's report to the police first and see if they can help find people."

  "Can you walk?" Lucky walked while wearing his coat.

  "I don't know, let's ask." Indeed, no one had experienced such a thing before, and with the extreme shock and panic in their hearts, they had already lost all sense of direction.

  Xing Hai and Lucky arrived at the police station, coincidentally, the policeman on duty today was still that young officer. At this moment, he had just started his shift and was chatting with his colleague about something funny, laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

  As soon as he turned his head and saw Lucky's anxious face, he had already guessed it.

  Still with an air of nonchalance, he walked over with a smile.

  "Comrade, what's wrong?"

  Xing Hai quickly replied: "We'll call the police."

  "What are you reporting? Has someone been harassing your family again?" the little policeman asked unexpectedly, because Xing Hai was in a hurry and made a mistake when filing the report, saying "reporting" instead of "filing a case". The little policeman thought that Gong Xi had been released ahead of schedule and gone to the Lucky House again.

  "No, it's a person who has gone missing." Xing Hai hastily shook his head and said anxiously.

  "Who is missing?"

  "My friend Wang Ji, is the person who was brought here two days ago because my family called the police." Lucky recognized the policeman as soon as he entered the door, and the incident that day was a bit embarrassing, so Lucky didn't speak for half a day.

  "Ah~" The little policeman burst out laughing, and it was indeed what he had guessed. "You're talking about Gong Xi."

  "You know!" Xing Hai and Lucky both widened their eyes, staring intently at the policeman's face.

  The two excessive performances shocked the police officer, who laughed and dodged back a little.

  "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. The Gong Xi you mentioned and the one I mentioned may not necessarily be the same person." That little policeman deliberately teased Xingyun, looking at his anxious appearance, he was quite happy in his heart. Thinking of that poor black boy's pitiful appearance, he felt some injustice for him, this would count as taking the opportunity to avenge him a bit.

  "Yes, he must be somewhere." Lucky gripped the edge of the table, her fingernails digging tightly into its surface.

  "Wait a minute, let me check your file."

  "Hurry up."

  "What's the hurry? That day I saw you, you didn't seem to want to bother with him at all."

  Lucky was speechless with anger and anxiety, wanting to say "what business is it of yours?" but didn't dare offend the other person, so she could only endure it.

  Xing Hai noticed the little policeman's attitude, seemingly not too fond of Yongyun, pulled him to his back, leaned in and handed over a cigarette from his pocket.

  "Brother, my younger brother and Gong Xi have a very good relationship. The two of them had a bit of a disagreement the other day, sorry to trouble you."

  "Ah, never mind, never mind." The little policeman stretched his waist, lazily pulled out the notebook from the drawer, and pretended to flip through it.

  Gong Xi, a 25-year-old male from Shenyang, Liaoning Province...

  "Is it him? What's wrong with him?" Lucky rushed over again.

  "He's fine, nothing serious...". The little policeman was still speaking slowly and leisurely, while Lucky's anxious heart was almost twisted into a knot.

  "What's wrong with him?" Lucky kicked his feet anxiously.

  "Fought and injured three people lightly."

  "What about him?"

  "What's going on?" The little policeman asked, looking up.

  "Is he injured?"

  "Haha, you're quite concerned about him, aren't you?" The little policeman sneered.

  Luckily, he didn't care about others' ridicule now, and his mind was preoccupied with Gong Xi. He asked again, "Comrade, how is the person? Where were they injured?"

  "It's nothing." The little policeman said in a light tone, closing the thick file and turning to the two lucky ones: "He beat up three people, he's fine, but they don't agree to settle, they insist on detention. So, Gong Xi is now detained for 15 days." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand to look at the calendar on his watch, "Hmm, it's already been two days, today is the third day."

  Luckily, the heart has finally calmed down. As long as no one is hurt, it's all good. But afterwards, I couldn't help but feel annoyed - how could this guy fight with you? He's already in his twenties and still so impulsive, how despicable!

  Xìngyùn gāng wǎng wài zǒu le liǎng bù, yòu huí guò tóu lái.

  Translation:

  Lucky had just taken two steps outside and turned back around.

  "Can I be bailed out?"

  "No way." The usual indifferent attitude was luckily chilled back.

  As soon as he went out, Xiao Yun called Palace Joy's father and told him that Palace Joy had been found. The old man's heart was also put at ease, and he said he would come to the small town tomorrow.

  Lucky let Xing Hai return home first, he himself had to go to the detention center.

  Xingyun had lived in the small town for over 20 years, and this was his first time going to such a place. He felt suffocated and uncomfortable, thinking about Qi Gongxi's recklessness and worrying that he might suffer there.

  It's said that the detention center is very dark, and new inmates are often bullied. Although he knew that Gong Xi was skilled in martial arts, but with so many people ganging up on him, how could he not be at a disadvantage?

  The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. The taxi had almost driven out of town before we arrived at what used to be called Duck Circle but was now known as the Detention Center.

  Duck circle, that is the place where vegetable farmers without urban household registration used to put ducks on the outskirts of the city, you can imagine how remote and dilapidated this place was.

  All around is a desolate grassland, now covered with white snow in winter, and as far as the eye can see, it's a vast expanse of silence.

  Good fortune led him into the courtyard, where a row of low, small houses were all small storage rooms, and further inside was the office of the watchman.

  Xingyun had just walked in when he saw a small guard on the left side, with a notice stuck on it: daily visits, before 12 o'clock. Xingyun's heart sank, time was up, and he wouldn't be able to see Gongxi today.

  Now Gong Xiren is inside, he can't see anyone for a minute, and his heart will be tortured for another minute.

  He walked over and whispered to the policeman at the gate, but no matter how anxious or reasonable he was, they just wouldn't listen.

  Luckily, after being blocked and turning around in the row of plastic chairs and the small space in front for a while, I still couldn't think of any good solution.

  The person inside the guardhouse poked his head out and shouted at Lucky: "Don't wait any longer, come back tomorrow, go on, go on."

  Good luck was driven out.

  Not resigned, and there's nothing that can be done, fortunately thought for a moment, and came to the small warehouse store next door, bought a pack of cigarettes, and got familiar with the owner.

  "Will the people inside get beaten?" Lucky asked anxiously.

  "Hit, why not hit, the new ones who went in on the first night, if no one was entrusted to take care of them, would all get beaten. Some of those who went in said that when they came out after being beaten, even their own family members didn't recognize them."

  Lucky heart was pinched tight, and the root of the gourd couldn't breathe.

  "Do we all have to get beaten?"

  "It's almost there." The middle-aged man with a goatee said with a smack of his lips.

  Good fortune couldn't stay outside any longer. Good fortune took out a cigarette he had just bought and handed it to the big brother, carefully lighting it for him.

  "Big brother, I want to visit someone personally now, is there a way?"

  That person had long seen through Xiao Yun's mind and was deliberately teasing him.

  "Is there a relative inside?"

  "Yes, I just received the letter and missed the visiting time."

  That man smiled and knew that he had a chance, then took out his wallet from his pocket, making his intentions clear.

  "Big brother, can you help me out? I won't let you work for nothing."

  The man smiled and gave Lucky a slap on the back. Lucky understood and immediately pulled out 500 yuan from his wallet.

  "This is not what I wanted, and it's all going to be given to others."

  The lucky one immediately took out 200 yuan and stuffed it into the man's hand, but he pushed and shoved, saying that he wouldn't accept it. "Alright, you buy something from me, just to show your intention, little brother, I can see that you're really thinking of your family, big brother here isn't someone who takes advantage of others in their time of need."

  "Alright, alright." Lucky hastily nodded and handed over the original 200, then pulled out another 200 yuan.

  "You take this money and buy me some food and things."

  "It's okay, these things can be used inside too. As for food, I'll give you more to take, if you don't take enough, he won't have enough to eat."

  Lucky nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright, big brother, you've helped me out so much, thank you so much for your help."

  Everything was carried by him, he said that if Lucky wanted to send it, it would be impossible to get in.

  Lucky again is a thank you meal.

  He waited outside for another half hour, and a tall and fat policeman followed behind the big brother, looking at Lucky who nodded to him.

  Lucky Quickstep ran past.

  "What's your name?"

  "Palace joy."

  "When did you come in?"

  "Three days ago."

  "Alright, wait here."

  He waited for almost half an hour before he slowly walked out, carrying a lucky charm and circling around the row of plastic chairs, entering an empty room.

  A small window was high up to the roof, and no sunlight could penetrate. The house only had white fluorescent lights emitting a cold light, and there was no warmth from the heat, making people feel chilled from the inside out.

  The door on the other side of the house was opened, fortunately only hearing the iron lock and the fence gate, with a clanging sound, he stood up from his chair nervously.

  Stretched his neck in the direction of the door and looked over.

  Gong Xi was led in by someone, and before he could even see the person clearly, his heart had already been turned upside down.
