I'm Not a Theatre God

Chapter 199 Sanctions

It was a dark and windy night.

Wen Shilin was wandering anxiously in a remote factory.

He was the only one in the empty factory, with few residents around and only a few lights in the distance. Everything was quiet... Only Wen Shilin's heart could not calm down.

"Why hasn't Lin Yan come back yet... Did something go wrong when he kidnapped people?"

"Did he use too little force when he did it and was discovered?"

"Or was he seen on the way back with three people and reported to the law enforcers?"

"Lin Yan should have done this for the first time, and he has no experience. There is a high possibility of problems... Hey, it's my fault that I had to let him kidnap people. Isn't this making him break the law?!"

"No, this is my fault. I have to get him out."

Wen Shilin hesitated for a long time, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He immediately walked quickly to the door of the factory. At this moment, a figure dragged three sacks and walked slowly from a distance.

"Mr. Wen, where are you going?" Chen Ling saw Wen Shilin hurried out and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Wen Shilin was stunned to see him come back safely.

"I was worried that something might happen when you kidnapped someone, so I wanted to go and see..."

Wen Shilin's eyes fell on the three sacks, "You succeeded?!"

"Kidnapped a person, what could possibly go wrong?"

Chen Ling waved his hand casually and opened all the sacks. Three figures with cloth stuffed in their mouths and their hands and feet tied tightly were lying in the middle, unconscious. They were Xin Youquan, Qiu Dong, and Wang Yuning.

Wen Shilin's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Chen Ling to actually capture the three people successfully, and avoid the sight of others and successfully transport them here...

"How did you do it?" Wen Shilin couldn't help asking.

Chen Ling casually said, "I just hid on their way home from get off work, knocked them out one by one when no one was around, and then borrowed a truck to come over... Don't worry, no one found out on the way."

For Chen Ling, kidnapping three ordinary people would not be difficult, and he could even do it more simply and directly, but considering that he couldn't arouse Wen Shilin's suspicion, he tried to restrain himself.

Wen Shilin nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

While talking, the two carried the people in the sacks into the factory. Wen Shilin looked at the three people lined up on the ground. Even after being tossed around like this, they showed no signs of waking up. He turned around and asked Chen Ling:

"Did you hit them hard? Why aren't they awake yet?"

"...I don't know. This is my first time hitting someone, and I can't control the strength." Chen Ling shook his head blankly.

"Well... okay."

"How about getting a basin of water to wake them all up?"

"Forget it, we're not robbers. We tied them up just to ensure their safety." Wen Shilin glanced at the few people who were sleeping, "Anyway, we have time, just wait for them to wake up slowly."

Chen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say much.

At this moment, Wen Shilin seemed to remember something and walked quickly out of the factory.

"What's wrong?"

"I have to go back. My camera is still at home... Without the camera, I can't take pictures of the three of them, and I lack evidence for the interview."

Chen Ling glanced at the sky outside, frowned slightly, and hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Give me the key, I'll get it."

Wen Shilin was about to say something, but Chen Ling took the lead and said, "They should be waking up soon. If I stay here, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat them."

"Why?"

"They emptied a child with their own hands last night... just like they emptied my brother at that time."

Wen Shilin was stunned, and the factory suddenly fell silent.

Chen Ling took the key from him, walked out of the factory alone, and gradually disappeared into the night.

Looking at Chen Ling's departing back, Wen Shilin's expression suddenly became complicated. He turned back to look at the three unconscious figures on the factory floor, wondering what he was thinking.

A few minutes later.

Wow——!

A basin of cold water poured over the three people, almost freezing them into popsicles in this cold night.

They suddenly woke up from their coma, saw the surrounding factory buildings, and Wen Shilin standing silently in front of them with an empty bucket, their eyes full of surprise and shock.

"It's you?!"

"You kidnapped us?! What do you want to do?"

"Damn it! You are breaking the law!!"

Amid the panicked shouts of the three people, Wen Shilin casually threw the empty bucket aside, making a dull thumping sound, and raised his hand to forcefully pull the professional tie on the collar of his shirt apart a little... He looked down at the three people with cold eyes.

"Next, I will conduct an in-depth interview with you..."

"The content of this interview will determine your fate. If you cooperate, the public and the law will sanction you. If you don't cooperate...

"I will sanction you for that child, understand?"

...

Under the moonlight, Chen Ling, wearing a brown coat, walked into a low residential building.

Chen Ling was not unfamiliar with Wen Shilin's home. He had come to deliver a body just this morning... Compared with the residences in District 3, this place was undoubtedly much better, but compared with other places in Aurora City, it was as cramped and crowded as a slum.

The reason why Chen Ling was unwilling to let Wen Shilin come back alone was that he was worried that the people behind the scenes of the hospital would find out that they were investigating something they shouldn't be investigating and would send people to block them... Chen Ling himself was not afraid. He would send one of these people away, but if Wen Shilin was injured, the progress of the investigation would have to slow down.

Fortunately, looking at the situation near this residential building, there was nothing unusual for the time being.

At this moment, the residents here should have fallen asleep, and the entire corridor was extremely quiet. Chen Ling went up to the fourth floor and found that there were not many residents on this floor. Most of the rooms were still in rough condition, or there were signs that no one had lived there for a long time.

Chen Ling went straight to the door of the innermost room, opened the door quietly and walked in.

"It's messier than I imagined..."

Chen Ling's eyes swept across the slightly messy house in front of him. The walls were full of cut news items, or unpublished article paragraphs, and photos taken secretly from somewhere. At first glance, it looked very much like the agent's room that Chen Ling had seen in a movie in his previous life.

However, this was in line with the image of Wen Shilin, an older single young man. Apart from news, he seemed to have no other interests in life.

Chen Ling quickly found the camera in the house, closed the door and left. Just as he walked to the corner of the corridor, light footsteps came from the stairs on the next floor.

Da-da-da...

[Audience Expectation Value +5]

The footsteps were steady and light, and they were slowly walking from the third floor to the fourth floor. Hearing this sound, Chen Ling was slightly stunned, and then several thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning!

He quickly raised his hand and reached his chin...

When he walked around the corner and came to the corridor, he had become a middle-aged man in his thirties, carrying a briefcase in one hand, and walking down the stairs from the fourth floor.

With the moonlight in the corridor, Chen Ling finally saw the figure going upstairs. It was a pale man with a hunchback, walking with his head down, seemingly listless.

On his back, a strange paper man with red eyes lay quietly, motionless.
