Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Given the urgency of the situation, Ye Chen dared not delay for even a moment. He immediately took Tian Cong and Luo Ling and drove the tricycle straight to the county town!

On the way, seeing Luo Ling sitting in the back of the truck with a look of anxiety on her face, Ye Chen couldn't help but offer his comfort.

"Don't worry, Uncle Luo is usually quite cautious. He knows his limits. He suffered a lot during his previous labor reform, so he shouldn't do anything reckless!"

"This matter might be a setup. As long as we explain it clearly, Uncle Luo will be released."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ling shook her head repeatedly, for she knew her father all too well.

"No, I have a feeling this has blown up a lot!"

"Even if he was truly framed, the evidence is probably irrefutable. My dad might not escape this time. My only wish right now is to see him, at least to find out the whole story!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen fell into deep thought. Thinking of Luo Guanzhong's previous actions, a guess suddenly came to mind.

If we're talking about the people Luo Guanzhong was most likely to contact, besides Boss Qin, the only other one is the Zhang family!

However, Boss Qin has a large and successful business, with many legitimate businesses. Given his size, he is already too busy with his legitimate businesses to bother with smuggling.

Therefore, the only possibility is the Zhang family!

The last time Luo Guanzhong got money from me, he probably went back to the Zhang family to try and get through his difficulties.

The Zhang family must have taken advantage of this opportunity to seize the opportunity and make all sorts of demands!

Luo Guanzhong was only a half-baked businessman, which is why he was caught off guard and fell into the trap!

"Don't worry, even if Uncle Luo really goes to jail, I promise I'll send those who framed him to jail too!"

Thinking it over, Ye Chen clenched his fist. If he could take this opportunity to bring down the Zhang family, it would be like eliminating a major threat.

……

Half a day later, Ye Chen and his group arrived in the provincial capital.

Upon arriving at the destination, Ye Chen immediately called Zhao Changshun, hoping that Zhao could use his identity to find out where Luo Guanzhong was.

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry to trouble you with this. I just need to find out where he is and meet him."

Over the phone, Ye Chen entrusted the matter.

Zhao Changshun, on the other end of the line, remained silent for a moment before finally nodding in agreement: "Alright, I'll only help you find out where they are, and at most arrange for you to meet them!"

"If the person you're talking about is really suspected of breaking the law, it's impossible for me to help them get away with it!"

"Brother Zhao, you're joking. We've known each other for so long, I know your temper. If I really wanted to help you get away with it, I wouldn't have come to you!" Ye Chen replied.

Zhao Changshun then hung up the phone and waited for a full half hour before finally receiving a reply.

"I've inquired; Luo Guanzhong is currently at the West City Public Security Bureau. Also, Ye Chen, I advise you not to get involved in this matter!"

"My old comrade-in-arms told me that the evidence is conclusive this time, and Luo Guanzhong can't escape it. Now it's just a matter of how he'll be convicted and how many years he'll get!"

"Okay, thanks, Brother Zhao!"

Ye Chen was deep in thought, sensing something different in Zhao Changshun's words.

Luo Guanzhong is probably involved in something very serious this time, otherwise Zhao Changshun wouldn't have given him such a serious warning!

"Let's go to the West City Public Security Bureau first, and try to see him first!"

Ye Chen kept his thoughts to himself and made arrangements immediately.

Luo Ling nodded repeatedly and followed Ye Chen to the police station.

After finding the receptionist and explaining the purpose of the visit, the receptionist's expression immediately turned serious upon hearing the name Luo Guanzhong.

"Who are you...?"

"I am Luo Guanzhong's daughter. I heard my father is imprisoned here. May I see him?"

"Wait here, I'll report it right away!" The police officer who was receiving them immediately became serious and turned around to report.

A moment later, he returned, this time with a middle-aged man behind him.

"Are you Luo Guanzhong's family members?"

The other party looked Luo Ling up and down before explaining the situation.

"Luo Guanzhong is now convicted, and all that remains is sentencing. However, we have also investigated this matter thoroughly, and Luo Guanzhong has absolutely nothing to do with you. Otherwise, you would all be arrested and questioned as well!"

"The case has now passed the review period, so we can arrange a meeting between you. However, I must warn you, don't do anything out of line!"

In the end, the middle-aged man personally led Luo Ling and Ye Chen to the interrogation room.

A moment later, he reappeared, having already brought Luo Guanzhong with him!

In just over half a month, Luo Guanzhong's appearance had changed drastically; there was no trace of his former glory and dashing demeanor.

His beard was unkempt, and his hair was gray; he looked like a beggar.

Upon seeing Luo Ling, Luo Guanzhong's expression immediately became excited; if the middle-aged man hadn't been holding him back, he probably would have rushed forward.

"Behave yourself!"

Finally, the middle-aged man locked Luo Guanzhong to the interrogation chair before standing aside.

"Get to the point quickly, I'm only giving you ten minutes. Also, I have to supervise you!"

"Dad!" Upon hearing this, Luo Ling burst into tears and tried to rush forward, but Ye Chen stopped her.

Luo Guanzhong is now a suspect, and outsiders cannot contact him. Being able to meet with him is already considered a lenient gesture!

"Sigh! Don't cry. It's my fault as your father. I've caused you trouble again!" Luo Guanzhong was also in tears. It took him a long time to finally control his emotions and shake his head.

However, after saying this, a twisted expression appeared on Luo Guanzhong's face.

"It's all my fault for being foolish and trusting the wrong person; otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"If I had another chance, I would never let them have their way!"

"Dad, who exactly ruined you? Can you tell me?"

"Daughter, my biggest regret in this life is that I couldn't see you get married. You are now in your twenties, but I haven't been able to spend half of your life by your side."

Luo Guanzhong shook his head, his face filled with regret: "Now, I have been framed. In just a few days, I have come to understand many things. I was really foolish before. I apologize to you first."

"As for investigating this matter... if they had any leverage over them, the police would have arrested them long ago. They just knew I'd be the scapegoat. Even if I told you their identities, it would only put you at risk and wouldn't change the outcome!"

As a person is about to die, his words become more virtuous. After his repentance in prison, Luo Guanzhong finally showed some resemblance to a father.

At this point, Luo Guanzhong suddenly turned his head and glanced at Ye Chen, then asked him for a favor.

"Ye Chen, I was wrong before. I was arrogant and never respected you!"

"Now that I'm here, I'm entrusting my daughter to your care. You're now her only family!"
