Chapter 262: The Death Of A God (2/2)

Xiaotao tugged at my sleeve. ”This guy’s crazy! Let's go!”

When I turned around to leave, I happened to bump into a prison guard. I stopped him and pulled out two packs of cigarettes. ”Do me a favor,” I said. “One of these is for you. Please give the other to the prisoner standing near the fence. He’s a schoolmate of mine.”

After the guard had walked away, Xiaotao asked, ”Why are you so kind to give him cigarettes?”

”We were once schoolmates after all,” I sighed. “Anyway, this is the last time I’ll ever see him.”

After handing the cigarettes to Qi Sheng and wishing him all the best, Xiaotao and I left the prison. As soon as we got into the car, Xiaotao leaned in towards me and pressed her body against mine, rubbing my chest with her breasts as she tempted me with those seductive eyes. ”Great Detective Song, do you have any bold ideas now that we’re out in the wilderness?” she teased.

Speaking of bold ideas, I had more than one, but I quickly restrained myself. The thought of losing my virginity at the gates of the prison made me cringe.

”Why don’t I go to your place tomorrow so we can try out these ideas I have?”

Xiaotao inched her face close to mine, her breath spilling out in warm puffs against my cheek. My head was filled with her sweet fragrance as her clear eyes that seemed to melt into golden rays stared back at me. She pushed me against my seat with her hand over my pounding heart. Back against the seat, I felt as if every fiber of my being vibrated with excitement from her touch.

”You better be there or I’ll kill you!” she said.

”Don’t worry, I’m very afraid of dying! I’ll definitely be there!” I assured.

When we returned to the station, there was still much to do. Wang Yizhou had already been handed over to the judicial authorities, and the case against him was a rock. The prosecutor explained that he might even be able to fight for a death penalty. Right now, they were having trouble finding Wang Yizhou a defense lawyer, but that wasn’t something we had to worry about.

After the In-depth Live Stream website was removed, the police throughout the nation joined forces to arrest all those streamers who had broken the law. When Mr. Xu, founder of the website, was transferred to the detention center, he shouted arrogantly, ”They will definitely come to save me! Just watch!”

However, he was in for disappointment.

A week later, he was tried by the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China.

Wang Yizhou was found guilty of intentional homicide, crimes against public safety and assaulting a police officer. These crimes were extremely serious, so the punishment was just as grave.

He was sentenced to death, to be executed immediately!

Xu Youwen was found guilty of racketeering, incitement to terrorist acts and crimes against public safety.

He too was sentenced to death, to be executed immediately!

According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, Li Derong was exempt from prosecution in view of his death.

The rest of the criminals were guilty of being accomplices and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 10 to 15 years.

The powerful backer behind the In-depth Live Stream website was indeed the mysterious criminal organization, but this website was merely a money-making tool for them. They could care less about these lives which suggested Mr. Xu wasn’t as important as Kong Hui.

Just when I thought I could finally take a break and experience a “major life event,” I received a call from Xiaotao that night itself, reporting a bit of bad news. ”Song Yang, Deng Chao is dead,” she said, her tone solemn.

At first, I froze from the shock of the news but I soon recovered and realized that there was something wrong with her tone. ”How did he die?” I asked.

”There was a fight and he was stabbed with a knife, but that’s not the point!” I heard Xiaotao take a deep breath on the other end of the line. ”The vehicle transporting his body had an accident on the road and his body mysteriously disappeared!” she announced.

The implication of her words hit me like a bat to the head–Deng Chao had escaped from prison!
