Chapter 487: Seeing Banggen
The long day passed quickly, the sun gradually set, and the night fell quietly. Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu walked slowly to the majestic gate of the Public Security Bureau with trepidation. They had a clear purpose for this trip - they had to find out how many more days Banggeng would be detained.
You know, Banggeng could have been released, but now we don’t know how long it will be shut down. Besides, Banggeng is also a victim.
After all, those people were bribed and beaten up.
This time was different from the past. The prison staff actually took the initiative to invite them in. Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu followed the guide's footsteps, walked through corridors, and finally came to a spacious and bright office.
The warden of the Public Security Bureau behind the desk raised his head and his eyes first fell on Qin Huairu. As the mother of Bang Geng, the warden naturally knew her identity. However, when his eyes turned to Yi Zhonghai next to him, the warden couldn't help but frowned slightly, because this person was completely unfamiliar to him.
The warden cast a puzzled look at Qin Huairu and asked calmly, "Who is this gentleman?"
Hearing the question, Qin Huairu hurriedly stood up and answered nervously, "This is the child's grandfather. We came here today to find out about Jia Geng's current situation."
The warden nodded, then took out a thick document from the drawer and gently placed it on the table. As he flipped through the document, he said, "Jia Geng was lucky. Although the man he stabbed was seriously injured, his life was not in danger. However, even so, according to relevant laws and regulations, he can only be sentenced to a longer term this time."
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's heart tightened, and he quickly took out the fifty yuan he had prepared from his pocket. He walked towards the warden with a smile on his face, tried to hand over the money, and explained: "Warden, you see Jia Geng is just a child, he is ignorant and made such a mistake. And his family's situation is really very difficult. If he is sentenced to a prison term, I'm afraid the whole family can't bear it! Otherwise, please be merciful and don't increase his sentence. I can tell you the actual situation of his family in detail..."
However, what Yi Zhonghai never expected was that the prison guard not only did not reach out to take the money, but instead widened his eyes and stared at him fiercely, revealing majesty and anger in his eyes.
Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly and could only put the stack of banknotes back into his pocket obediently. Then he told the warden with a serious face about the difficulties the Jia family was facing.
The warden sat at his desk, his hands crossed at his chin, his brows slightly furrowed, listening carefully to Yi Zhonghai's statement. After listening, he couldn't help but shook his head, obviously he didn't expect the Jia family's situation to be so difficult. After thinking for a moment, the warden slowly said: "Indeed, the Jia family's life is really not easy. Okay, I will report the specific situation to my superiors as soon as possible." After speaking, he nodded slightly to Yi Zhonghai, indicating that he would do his best to deal with it.
Qin Huairu also told the warden what Banggeng said, that they were bribed by someone. The warden nodded, indicating that he understood, but that Banggeng's mistake was that he actually had a weapon on him, which is strictly prohibited in prison.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded gratefully in response, but he seemed to have something else to say. However, at this moment, the warden raised his hand to signal him not to speak in a hurry, and then turned his eyes to the two of them and said earnestly: "I can understand your anxious mood at the moment, but there is one thing I must tell you clearly, that is, you must persuade Jia Geng well. If he makes a similar mistake again, the next time it won't be as simple as just increasing his sentence!"
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu both agreed without hesitation. Perhaps out of sympathy and pity for them, the warden finally made a concession and allowed Qin Huairu to visit Banggeng in prison.
When Qin Huairu finally saw her son, Banggeng's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up from his seat with joy and asked expectantly, "Mom, can I leave here?"
Looking at her innocent son, Qin Huairu felt as if her heart was broken by a knife, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Her lips trembled, and her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Bang Geng... Mom is useless. I couldn't save you this time, and... you will have to stay in jail for a while longer. Mom is already trying to find someone to help."
Hearing his mother's words, the smile on Bang Geng's face froze instantly, replaced by a look of disbelief and anger. He glared at Qin Huairu fiercely, gritting his teeth and cursing, "Mom, was it that damn Gu Nan who did this? It must be him who caused me to end up like this!"
Qin Huairu shook her head, not knowing what to say for a moment: "Bang Geng, Mom will definitely find someone for you, don't worry, Mom will help you find out whether Gu Nan did it or not."
Bang Geng looked at his mother and said, "Mom, I don't want to stay here for another day. I want to go out."
While Qin Huairu was talking, the warden received a call and walked over to look at Qin Huairu and Jia Geng. "Jia Geng, the verdict has come down. You hurt someone. Although they were bribed to beat you, your problem is that you hid a knife. In view of your family's situation, your sentence will be increased by one month, starting from today."
Qin Huairu wanted to say something, but the warden just left.
Banggeng looked at Qin Huairu and was very disappointed. When Qin Huairu was about to say something, Banggeng went back directly. After all, a month was still tolerable. When he went out, he would seek revenge on Gu Nan.
Qin Huairu felt very uncomfortable looking at Banggeng's expression, but she didn't know what to say for a moment. She could only shake her head and go back.
There was no progress on Lou Xiao'e's side, and the New Year was approaching. The deaf old lady thought that Lou Xiao'e would go home now.
Lou Xiao'e was still at Ran Qiuye's house at night: "Qiuye, do you think Xu Damao has had an accident? Otherwise, why hasn't he come back yet?"
Ran Qiuye looked at Lou Xiao'e and didn't know how to persuade her for a moment: "Sister Xiao'e, it's okay. The people in the Public Security Bureau said that they will investigate it carefully. The New Year is coming soon. Why don't you just go in and spend the New Year at my house? Gu Nan won't be back anyway."
Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "No, Qiuye, I plan to go back and spend the holiday with my parents this year."
