Chapter 93: You Can Begin Your New Life

Editors and Proof Reader: Alterious, Dervish, King of Mortals

As Li Wen had told his family, Ye Wen was taken away by the police within 2 hours. After only a single hour, his arrest was announced on national television. 

Everyone on social media was talking about it, and they were eagerly waiting for the trial to happen, and to see what punishment Ye Wen would get.

Due to public pressure, Ye Wen's trial date was shifted 2 days ahead, just 1 day after his arrest, and the trial was held publicly.

To give a fool-proof performance, the trial was held like any normal trial but it was all scripted. Ye Wen's friends were all convicted to be jailed for 6 years, and they also had to pay 200 thousand Country C dollars in fines and reparations, which would be given to Chen Lan's parents as compensation. 

As for Ye Wen, his medical certificate was presented to the court, which was approved by the top public hospital and had signatures from the 3 top doctors of the hospital.

The court ordered Ye Wen to be placed in the mental hospital for 3 years and added that his mental condition will be checked again before being released, and if there was a chance that his mental condition had not improved, then that time would be extended. 

As for the scapegoat friend of his, he was given life imprisonment. He admitted in public that he instigated Ye Wen to do all that with Chen Lan. He admitted that he knew about Ye Wen's mental condition, so that's why he did that. He wanted to get revenge on Chen Lan because she had insulted him in the class. 

Though some people were skeptical about this trial, they were only a minority. The Wen family used all its resources to change the public view, and they were successful in doing so. 

Fu Yan was also seeing all this on a news channel and smiled when he saw all the drama going on.

"Well, they rehearsed quite a lot for this, so I will give them credit for that but, unfortunately, Ye Wen will die and a painful death on top of that." Fu Yan gave a creepy laugh while thinking this.

Then he looked towards the screen and said.

"Qing, how is the preparation going on for the second stage? Is everything ready?"

"Yes, Big Brother! Everything is proceeding normally, and we will be ready in just 3 hours."

Fu Yan nodded when he heard this and smiled. He had something special planned for the Wen family. He will let them experience the feeling of powerlessness.

In the backroom of court, Li Wen hugged Ye Wen and said,

"Ok, I have talked with the director of the hospital, and he will take care of you. Stay there quietly for a while, and when this thing fades away from public attention, I will send you to the US to study."

Ye Wen nodded and replied.

"I understand, Dad. I will follow all instructions and won't create any trouble. I promise that you won't get any complaints about me ever again."

Li Wen nodded and said while patting Ye Wen's shoulder.

"Well, I know! I know, my son has grown up."

Then he was placed in the hospital's car and they went towards the hospital. The car was simple for normal use. Not too eye-catching or anything. Two police cars were in front of it for escort. No matter what they had planned, they had to put on a show for the public, or else this matter won't die down.

The caravan was going smoothly to its destination. The strange thing was that it was going too smoothly as they got green lights all the way, and it was as if it was all planned. 

While going through an intersection after getting the green, the police cars in front failed to notice the truck coming towards them at high speed from the side. After seeing the cars ahead of it, instead of slowing down, its speed increased.

Lou Shi was a criminal, though he was never charged because of his contacts with some public officials. He was accused three times of rape, but all three times, the families of the victims withdrew the case and he was set free. He was a local gangster and was known to be his boss's right-hand man. Though others called him a right-hand man of the boss, he himself knew that he was nothing more than a dog for the boss. He had to be present every time his boss needed him or else he would have his arms and legs broken. 

He was getting sick of this life and wanted to get out, but he had no skills whatsoever. No matter what he wanted to do, he needed money for it that he did not have. Then 2 days ago, he got a call from a stranger, telling him that if he did as instructed, he would be given 2 million.

All he had to do was buy a truck on his name from the money that will be transferred to his account. He thought it was a prank call at first but then after an hour, he received a message that there were 1 million in his account. 

Lou Shi jumped with excitement when he read this message and even went to the bank to confirm this. When he was done verifying, he received the call again. He picked up the call, and a mechanical voice greeted him.

"Mr. Shi, since you are done verifying the money, then proceed to do what you were told. Go buy an automated truck with this money. Remember the truck should be in the best condition, don't try to save money as we know every move you make. Also after the job is done, this truck will also belong to you, so again, don't save money. It's best if you get the truck today, as you will be given a reward of 200 thousand upon completion."

Lou Shi won't say that he did not have the idea about taking this money and running away, but after hearing the other party's conditions, he decided to do as they say as he will earn more that way.

After going around for a while, he managed to get a truck that fitted the description. It was fully automated and had a new AI assist feature too. It means that this truck was capable of self-driving too. This truck cost him over 900 thousand dollars. 

The thing that scared him was that the moment he finalized the deal with the other party and paid the money, he got the call from the stranger.

"Well done, Mr. Shi. You have done very well. Now buy a power bank and make sure that your phone's battery doesn't ever fall below 50%. We will contact you again. Now have a good night sleep as you will be doing some work tomorrow. If you want, you can use the remaining money and reward money however you want. Goodbye."

Lou Shi immediately went to the electronics market and bought a fully charged 20000mAh power bank. 

After that, he went to a famous host club and enjoyed himself to the fullest. He spent more than 70,000 in one night. This was the first time he had spent this much money in one go.

Morning came and he received a call from the same person at 11 am. 

"Alright Mr. Shi, you have your first mission. Get into the truck now and drive around the city while maintaining the speed at 50 km/h. If you complete this mission you will get an additional bonus of 300 thousand."

Lou Shi immediately got into the truck and did as he was told. After completing the mission, he immediately got the message that 300 thousand were deposited into his account. He gave a smile full of joy.

"Why did I not get this kind of gig earlier? It's quite easy! I would have been living my life in luxury." He thought while checking the balance in his bank account.

Again the familiar ringtone sounded and Lou Shi picked the phone immediately. 

"Mr. Shi, well done on completing this mission. This was just a trial. Now, tomorrow is the big day. Your main mission will start tomorrow and after that, you will get the money and this truck too. Don't worry, it's not something illegal. We follow all rules set by the government. So remember to be ready tomorrow at 9 am. That's when your mission starts. Also, remember to fill the tank before going."

Lou Shi nodded and replied.

"I understand, I will be ready."

The next day came and Lou Shi was waiting for the call while sitting in the truck. At exactly 9 am, he received the call and was told to go to a location and wait for the call again.

He reached the location and after waiting for an hour, he got the call at 10:31 am.

"Mr. Shi, begin driving, and continue straight on this road, maintain a speed of 60 km/h. That's all you have to do. After that, you can begin your new life."
