Infernal Hero

Chapter 12 Liang Bida

Ignoring freedom is degeneration. Herzen's famous saying means that no matter where or when you are, you should not give up your faith in freedom. Right now, the freedom of the body has definitely been lost, and the black pot is quite cruel. However, there is no regret. Who told us to be men?

For two whole years, she was immersed in the dream of the mandarin duck butterfly and wholeheartedly wanted to be a socially recognized man worthy of her. By now, the dream had been shattered into chicken feathers. Only after being imprisoned did he realize that men must cherish their feelings, but they must never treat their love life as everything.

The first step was to think of a way to get him out of here. Gu Tianyou thought about it and couldn't think of anyone who could help him at this time. Looks like we'll have to get lucky.

There was a visiting day in the juvenile detention center, and both Li Mingbo and Old Jia arrived on time.

Li Mingbo brought the news from Qinzhou Prison. Liu Hei-lien was indeed ruthless. He took everything away but did not intend to interfere in this matter. He Weiran asked Li Mingbo to bring a message to Gu Tianyou. He knew that good luck had its own heavens, and everything would be fine in the future.

Old comrade He, after retreating to the second line, is he too idle and confused? What kind of explanation was this? Wasn't this the line that a god-like old man should say? You don't want to help? Or is it really something else?

Since Li Mingbo hadn't brought a definite piece of good news, Gu Tianyou had basically lost hope. Fortunately, the 18-month prison term was not long, and it would be over after enduring it for a while. To Old Jia, Gu Tianyou felt that it was already enough for him to come over and see him, but he didn't expect that he didn't come here just to visit him.

One day at the end of the month, a guest suddenly came to the juvenile detention center. Liang Bida, a famous lawyer in the province, visited and named Gu Tianyou. He was the surprise that Old Jia had brought to Gu Tianyou. Gu Tianyou had heard the name Liang Bida like thunder long ago when he was in Qinzhou Prison. Almost all of the criminals, especially economic criminals, knew about this person, and every single one of them was no exception.

If you want to be exonerated, look for Bida. If you have already been convicted, look for Bida with commutation of sentence, and you will definitely achieve it. It was not difficult to tell from this casual slogan that this person's status in the world of law was the most expensive. This kind of person was naturally also the most valuable person in the world of law.

As a renowned barrister in the legal profession, there should be a high chance of succeeding in getting a minor under 18 out of a juvenile detention center.

What puzzled Gu Tianyou was how Old Jia had persuaded him to help him.

Money may be one of the reasons, but the cost of hiring counsel Leung is not something that ordinary people can afford. Gu Tianyou had never felt that Old Jia would treat him so fearlessly. Coercion and temptation? Old Jia didn't even dare to look at the chickens, so borrowing the courage of the two of them was more or less the same. Lee may have the guts, but he has changed his mind since he was released on bail last year, and he can't threaten someone as famous as Leung Pat-tat in the legal profession.

The first time we met.

"Why did you help me?" Gu Tianyou asked straightforwardly.

Liang Bida did not answer immediately. Instead, he quietly stared at Gu Tianyou. After ten minutes, he let out a long sigh.

"Old He is right. You look too much like your mother."

"You know Old He, and you know my mother?"

"I was the lawyer in charge of your mother's case back then."

Liang Bida was the young lawyer who rescued Yu Shaofen on the execution grounds back then. Times had changed, and the young lawyer from back then was now a middle-aged man who had reached fame over 40 years old.

"Sure enough, it's not Old Jia."

"Actually, I took the initiative to find him. I asked him to consult you about the incident. By the way, I'll bring you a message and prepare the required materials."

"What are you prepared for? The facts are clear. Everything you should or shouldn't admit has already been admitted, and I'm not going to withdraw my confession."

"I heard from Old Jia that the girl's father used a gun to threaten you?"

"Can't you get me out of here without this plot?"

"No, but it will be much more difficult."

"Then please pretend that you haven't done this before." "You're not going to stop helping me because of that, are you?"

"What if I say yes?"

Gu Tianyou hesitated for a moment. Comparatively speaking, the freedom he had lost was better than dragging Mother Jiang 's family back into this matter. He decided to choose the former. Then he said, "In that case, I can only apologize to you for making your trip in vain."

Liang Bida revealed a surprised expression first. Then, his eyebrows tightened and he snorted. Seeing that he was angry, Gu Tianyou felt a little puzzled. He didn't understand why he reacted so strongly. Could it be that he had let him go on a trip in vain? This was not something a character like him should have. Liang Bida took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. "Do you regret what you did to that girl now? After all, their family owes you."

Gu Tianyou wasn't sure why he asked this. From the lawyer's point of view, he was probably hoping that he would show regret. Thinking back to the past two years, he had been obsessed with the misty feelings between him and Xu Jiahui . Perhaps what happened afterwards was not so good, but the initial feeling was better than good. So he shook his head and said, "I might disappoint you again. No matter when or where, whoever asks me the same question, I only have one answer. I have nothing to regret."

"You're even worse than I thought. No wonder you're alive. A piece of white paper was soaked in an ink jar for fourteen years and you were able to maintain your innocence when you came out."

He said this with a tone of regret and understanding, but Gu Tianyou could hear it with a hint of schadenfreude. Especially when he said the last word, the corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly, as if he was purposely suppressing his smile. If it weren't for Gu Tianyou's keen eyes, it would have been very difficult for others to notice this small detail.

Liang Bida placed his right hand on the table. His hand was well maintained, but there were many circular scars on his wrist, which were uneven like a tooth mark. His fingers lightly tapped on the table, making a crisp sound. He was probably thinking about something. The rhythm of his fingertips became faster and faster. Finally, he suddenly stopped. He raised his head and asked, "Did you pull out a person's eyeball when you were in prison?"

Why would he ask that? How did he know about Xiong Aiguo? Gu Tianyou's mind spun rapidly, and he quickly remembered that he knew He Weiran .

Liang Bida seemed to be a little unusually excited. He stared at Gu Tianyou and continued to ask, "I also heard that you have a commissary in there. Do you like money very much?"

"He Yuran told you all this?"

Liang Bida didn't say anything. He asked the two questions just now. He probably realized that his expression and tone were inappropriate. He leaned back against the back of the chair and focused his gaze on Gu Tianyou. His expression was like an artist admiring an exquisite work of art that had been carved for many years.

"Alright, let me tell you the truth. What you said is the truth. Three years ago, I did dig out a person's eyeball, and I really love money. How many people in this world don't love money? Are you satisfied now?"

"Not yet." Liang Bida 's voice was not loud, and he had a deliberate feeling of suppression. "But I can tell you that I have decided to get you out of here. You can put your heart at ease now." As he spoke, he stood up and said goodbye.

This person was moody, and his attitude was strange and unpredictable. It was very difficult to judge whether he had good intentions or bad intentions from his attitude. The only thing that was certain was that this person had learned about his actions over the years through Old He. But for what purpose did he do it? The current atmosphere was not suitable for careful consideration. Thinking of He Weiran, Gu Tianyou was somewhat irritated. When he finally answered his question, he did not even have any hope. At that time, his mind was full of thoughts about why He Weiran told this person about his own affairs.

Liang Bida left with a satisfied expression, but he didn't say what his relationship with Old He was until he left.

… … … …

He came out of the visiting room and went straight back to his dormitory. The nominal boss of the dormitory was helping the rookies to revive their muscles and bones. Gu Tianyou was used to seeing similar scenes, so he just didn't see them and went back to his window and sunny bunk, basking in the sunshine to think about what had just happened.

Thinking back to what Liang Bida said, and thinking back to how much He Weiran cared for him over the years, Gu Tianyou vaguely thought of a possibility and instinctively didn't want to think about it. A pig-like howl came from the bathroom from time to time. Today, this rookie didn't seem like an old fool. He didn't know that the worse he screamed at this time, the more excited and furious the attacker would be. If he recruited disciplinary cadres, he would be able to endure it for the next few days.

His thoughts were constantly interrupted, and his mood became more and more irritable. Gu Tianyou suddenly jumped out of bed and pulled open the bathroom door. Several ruffians from the same dormitory were beating and cursing around the rookie for fun. When the cold door opened, the few of them were shocked. After seeing clearly that it was Gu Tianyou, the nominal boss immediately stopped, nodded and bowed, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Brother Tianyou?"

Brother Tian You's name was borrowed from the Hong Kong gangster movies.

This fellow's hand was still stained with the newcomer's nosebleed. The hostility between his eyebrows hadn't dissipated yet. Looking down, the grey trousers' legs were already stained with blood. It seemed that he had used his hand to knock the newcomer down and then kicked him fiercely. Behind him, the rookie was curled up by the pool, his face covered in blood, his clothes in a sorry state, and his urine all over his body.

Watching this scene silently, Gu Tianyou felt a wave of disgust in his heart. Is this my fate, from prison to juvenile detention? Become a violent person now, and then be violated like this pitiful fellow in the disciplinary cadre? Liang Bida seems to want me to be such a person. Or maybe he's happy to see that I've become one. Why would He Weiran tell him about me? He claimed to be his mother's lawyer, but from the looks of it, he didn't seem to be as simple as that…

Gu Tianyou was full of thoughts. He stood there in a trance, not expressing his stance for a long time. The boss and the other little ruffians didn't dare to act rashly and stood there motionlessly. The rookie who had been beaten wriggled and turned over. The moment he raised his head, his hateful gaze swept past the people who had just attacked him. He quickly lowered his head and sobbed quietly, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered with hatred in his heart.

In this place, he was the lamb to be slaughtered, and the boss was the butcher, sharpening his knife towards the pigs and sheep. As for himself, he stood high above them, and the action of kicking on the door stopped everything. But what if we leave this room or this courtyard? What would he know? Seeing the boss's increasingly frightened gaze, Gu Tianyou felt a kind of boredom and longing in his heart, wishing he could immediately end his life here. After going out, no matter what he did, he would never return to such a place again.

Gu Tianyou waved his hand, and the boss and the little ruffians left the bathroom like they were granted amnesty. These little bastards smelled less and less, but none of them noticed. The rookie stood up from the ground and looked at Gu Tianyou anxiously. As a rookie who had just entered the palace, he had not yet begun to merge into this cruel circle. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon become one of those little ruffians.

"Why did you come in?" Gu Tianyou lit two cigarettes and handed one to the boy. He didn't answer and said no. He then honestly described his crime: "Stealing a bicycle." Then he explained, "Someone else stole my bike first. I made a mistake when I went back and was caught in the act. He reported the case to the police and the police made a fuss about it. They said that the bike was worth more than 10,000 yuan. My family promised to compensate me, but he still refused to let me go."

A bicycle, a stupid cop, changed the boy's life. Many of the villains who committed the most heinous crimes were the same as him in the beginning. If I were that cop, I wouldn't let this happen. When Gu Tianyou thought of this, he was even shocked.
