Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s-Chapter 1344: Beaten Beyond Recognition

Screech—! After the piercing sound of brakes, the military vehicle suddenly came to a halt.

Due to inertia, An Hao’s body lurched forward fiercely. Qin Jian quickly reached out to stop her, preventing a tragedy.

"What happened?" Qin Jian asked sternly.

He remembered the guard had been driving for years; how could such a thing happen?

"Reporting to the Commander! Someone suddenly blocked the road ahead! It looks like... your adoptive mother." The guard had seen Li Junping more than once.

So he recognized her the instant she rushed forward.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jian poked his head out the window to look.

As soon as Li Junping saw it was Qin Jian, she immediately rushed up, speaking urgently, "Jianzi, save your brother quickly!"

"Qin Fen?"

"Yes, yes! He won’t last much longer!" Li Junping said while beating her thigh.

Qin Jian frowned, opened the door, and stepped out, "Don’t panic, speak slowly."

"What a terrible karma!" Li Junping started, tears flooding her face uncontrollably.

She recounted the whole story to Qin Jian.

Lately, she had been restless at home, plagued by nightmares at night. When she awoke during the day, she thought it over and decided she needed to see Qin Fen.

It had been so long since she had visited him, and she had no idea how he was doing.

Yesterday, she had gone to the detention center to visit Qin Fen.

But that short ten minutes made her feel as though she had walked through hell.

Qin Fen seemed to have offended someone in prison, getting beaten up every day; his face and body were covered in bruises.

his eyes were swollen like walnuts, barely able to open; his nose seemed broken, two teeth were missing, and there was a bruise at the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, she grabbed Qin Fen’s hand and cried bitterly.

her good child entered the detention center, and in less than three months, he was beaten to this state.

Qin Fen had also had enough suffering, crying out and grabbing Li Junping, pleading with her not to leave.

That heart-wrenching sound is still clear in her memory.

"Mom! Please, find my brother, get me out of this place! If I stay any longer, I’ll be beaten to death!"

After hearing her account, Qin Jian’s brow furrowed deeper, and the veins on his forehead throbbed, "Who beat him? Surely not the detention center’s staff?"

"No! It’s someone inside the prison! A guy called Wang Jiu! Qin Fen said you know him... He took out his rage on Qin Fen!" Li Junping said, crying so hard she was sniffling and tearing constantly.

This was her heart’s treasure, her child beaten till he was unrecognizable; as his mother, she felt more pain than anyone else.

"Wang Jiu?" The name sounded familiar. Qin Jian thought for a moment and then suddenly remembered.

This man was the local bully of South Street, always causing trouble in Nancheng.

The first time Qin Jian encountered Wang Jiu was on South Street; he had gathered a group to beat up Qin Fen.

It just so happened that Qin Jian was on his way to buy lanterns for An Hao and ran into the scene, so he gave Wang Jiu a severe beating.

He knocked out two of his teeth, leaving him spitting blood.

Later, this bully harassed An Hao at the skating rink and caused trouble for Yan Huan. Qin Jian had been irritated with this guy for a long time.

Before the new year, he had even mentioned that he wanted to thoroughly investigate Wang Jiu upon his return.

To see who exactly he was, committing so many offenses without a proper sentence, at most held in detention for a few months or in prison for half a year before release.

But due to his busy schedule since returning, he had completely forgotten about this matter.
