Chapter 60: Money Can Make a Ghost Grind a Mill

  Hei Zi and others visited Wu Yu, causing many prisoners to gather around. The prison guards did not allow the visit and stood between Hei Zi and others and Wu Yu.

  Two bald men who were smoking with Wu Yu stood aside and snickered. At this time, a young man who walked a bit crookedly came over.

  "Let them take a look, it's not like they're going inside, just be flexible."

  "Heymann, mind your own business," said the officer sternly. "This is a rule, and it can never be broken."

  Haiman chuckled: "Discipline, what rules aren't decided by you two anyway, just be flexible."

  Hai Man playfully winked at Hei Zi, who hastily pulled out a pack of cigarettes and handed two to him, saying: "Big brother, help us out. We've come all the way here, so just let it slide this time. Next time we'll definitely take care of the formalities."

  A cadre in charge looked at Hei Zi, waved his hand and knocked the cigarette out of his hand, saying: "What are you doing?"

  The fire in Hei Zi's heart suddenly ignited, thinking to himself: "I'm being so humble and smiling while handing you a cigarette, but you actually dared to knock it away, truly shameless."

  Wu Yu saw Hei Zi's change in expression, and hastily went forward to pull Hei Zi, letting him calm down. He smiled at the instructor and said: "Brother, be flexible, look, we've all come."

  Wu Yu looked at them, not saying a word. It seemed that he had been having a tough time in the labor reform team. The brothers looked at Wu Yu's silence and felt a sour feeling in their hearts. They were all good brothers who had gone through thick and thin together, but now one of them was suffering alone, which made the others feel unbearable. However, this place was not like the streets where they could fight back if someone bullied their brother; here, they couldn't even smile to appease the situation. The several people felt suffocated in their hearts.

  Zhao Bin took two steps back and said in a low voice, "These two cadres might be thinking of getting some benefits for themselves. It seems we need to bribe them."

  After hearing Zhao Bin's words, Zhu Xiaofei reached out to take the money, but Zhao Bin quickly pressed his hand and said: "Not now, he doesn't dare to accept it with so many people around."

  "How should I send it?" asked Zhuo Xiaofei.

  Just as they were discussing, Hei Zi couldn't sit still anymore, he couldn't just watch his brother being bullied. He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the glasses-wearing man's shirt, saying: "What the hell do you want? What did I ever do to offend you? Let me tell you, if you dare to make things difficult for my brother, I'll wipe out your whole family."

  The prisoners had never seen anyone dare to threaten the cadres in charge of the labor reform team before, they were all excited to watch the commotion, and some began to cheer quietly.

  The two bald men standing beside Wu Yu saw Hei Zi grab the collar of Guan Jiao's clothes, and they approached Hei Zi from left and right, punching him.

  Hei Zi let out a cold snort, dodged a punch with a tilt of his head and swung his hand to hit another bald man's belly. Liu Pengfei and Zhu Xiaofei rushed over as soon as they saw Hei Zi take action.

  Wu Yu feared they would get hurt and hastily rushed forward shouting: "Brothers, they are the Grand Marshal's men, don't fight."

  Hei Zi let go of the collar of the glasses, and he and another instructor hid to one side. The glasses wanted to call for someone, but he was afraid that the prisoner would run away, so after thinking about it, he didn't dare speak.

  Hei Zi and the other two quickly beat up the two bald men, leaving the two prison guards aghast. They had often seen inmates fight, but never like this before. The two big shots were considered to be skilled fighters among the prisoners, yet they didn't even have a chance to retaliate against the three.

  As soon as they made a move, all the prisoners' attention was drawn to them. Zhao Bin turned around and came to the side of the two prison guards.

  The two were frightened and retreated backward, Zhao Bin smiled and said: "Two brothers, do I look like a bad person?"

  The two of them looked at Zhao Bin and stood still with embarrassment, seeing his refined and polite demeanor.

  Zhao Bin took out a thick stack of money and handed it to the glasses-wearing man, saying: "Brother came in a hurry, not much, this is for you two."

  Two cadres in charge of the tube saw a smile on Qian's face, took over the glasses and hurriedly put them in their pocket, patted Zhao Bin's shoulder and said: "Brother, you're still good at doing things."

  Zhao Bin smiled and said: "Two big brothers, my brother is in your care from now on. If he lacks anything, just speak up."

  The two of them smiled and nodded in agreement. The bespectacled one took out a pen and paper, wrote down his name and phone number for Zhao Bin. His name was Li Qingtian.

  Hei Zi regretted it after taking action. He was worried that fighting here would affect Wu Yu. After the brothers left, two instructors had a hard time with Wu Yu.

  Hei Zi was fighting while secretly glancing back at the two disciplinary cadres, but what he saw was completely different from what he had imagined. To his surprise, he saw Zhao Bin smiling and standing together with the two disciplinary cadres, watching the commotion as if they were good friends. The two disciplinary cadres didn't seem to be angry at all.

  After the fight, three people pulled Wu Yu to sit on the ridge, two cadres and Zhao Bin also came over, Hai Man accompanied Wu Yu, it seemed that Hai Man was Wu Yu's best friend here.

  Wu Yu formally introduced Hai Man to everyone, and the two cadres no longer obstructed them. They only told them some precautions for visiting, then let them go to a distant field, driving others away to work, as if the fight had not happened earlier.

  It's been several years since the five brothers met, and there were too many things they wanted to talk about. What they cared most about was Wu Yu's situation in the labor reform team. Through Wu Yu's introduction, they knew that when he first came in, he had indeed suffered a lot of bullying, but after fighting a few times, except for two big executives, no one dared to move him.

  Zhao Bin was a bit worried about Wu Yu's current situation, and he asked with concern: "Wu Yu, this time the brothers beat up two big men, will they take revenge on you?"

  Wu Yu thought for a moment and said: "It's unlikely, although they have the ability to move me, but these two little guys are making trouble behind my back, let them take action themselves, they don't dare."

  Hei Zi and his friends laid out all the food they had brought, Wu Yu and Hai Man's eyes lit up when they saw the meat, and as they watched them devour it, Hei Zi felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

  Zhao Bin saw Hei Zi sigh and asked: "Hei Zi, what's wrong?"

  Hei Zi rubbed his red eyes and looked at Wu Yu, saying: "It's best if we can get him out of here."

  Zhou Xiaofei beside him heard Hei Zi's words and said: "Lao Wu, thinking of jailbreak?"

  Zhao Bin and Liu Pengfei both laughed when they heard Zhu Xiaofei's words. Wu Yu was sentenced to five years, now he has been serving his sentence for more than two years, in a little over two years he will be released, now escaping from prison is simply absurd.

  Xiao Fei was laughed at by them and felt his idea was unrealistic, so he smiled awkwardly.

  Haiman heard Heizi's words and put down the chicken leg he was gnawing on, looked up and said: "If you guys have money, Wu Yu can get out earlier."

  "Buy with money? How to buy?" Zhao Bin curiously asked.

  Hei Man rubbed his oily hands and said: "Each management cadre has a quota for sentence reduction, now generally it's more than 7,000 yuan for half a year, of course whoever offers a higher price will get the quota."

  Heizi was delighted when he heard this, stood up and said: "Xiao Fei, let's go find those two cadres in charge of discipline."

  The negotiation with the prison officials was very successful, and Heizi was generous in offering 150,000 yuan to reserve two commutation quotas from the hands of the prison officials. The two immediately agreed and asked them to send the money as soon as possible. Generally, commutations are announced at the end of each year. Wu Yu's sentence still has two and a half years left. If the money is paid, Wu Yu can be commuted twice for one and a half years.

  Hei Zi was excited and took out two cigarettes, handing them over. This time, the two of them accepted without hesitation, taking out a lighter to light Hei Zi's and Zhu Xiao Fei's cigarettes.
