The Police Bureau.
Two court vehicles slowly pulled away from the Police Bureau building.
Chief Zhu sat at ease in his office while Zhu Le'er gently massaged her elderly father's shoulders.
"Has the court taken the Lei Zis away?"
Chief Zhu asked wearily, his eyes closed.
"Yes. We've already put in a word. They'll be sentenced for robbery and sent to East City High-Level Prison."
East City Prison had the best conditions of any prison in Chun Prefecture, and was also the most democratic.
Most of its inmates were people with connections.
Chief Zhu had clearly made these arrangements so Uncle Yu and his companion could meet their end more comfortably.
"They don't have many days left. Try not to let them suffer. Make the arrangements." Chief Zhu slowly opened his eyes. "They may be of no use now, but they're still those two brats' men. Those boys are petty. If their people are mistreated, there's no telling who they'll take it out on."
The Lei Zis' original mission had been to bring down the San Mu Group. Now that Overlord had struck with thunderous force and dealt with San Mu directly through physical means, that objective had been achieved. There was no need to make any further use of them.
Letting them spend the final stretch of their lives in prison was the best outcome.
After all, the poison would soon kill them anyway.
Uncle Yu sat calmly in the court vehicle.
One of the accompanying bailiffs offered him a cigarette.
Although they hadn't removed his handcuffs, they treated him very well.
"Everything's been arranged up top. You just need to plead guilty, and then we'll arrange for you to go to prison..."
And then they could peacefully live out their last days.
The bailiff didn't spell it
