Official meetings are different from meetings held in a detention center. After Ninth Senior Brother and the others were led away, the atmosphere grew significantly more tense. Many people had been interrogated today, and they returned crestfallen. Among them was Zhou Huaiyu, who was sent to the cell holding the Zhou Family. Having been imprisoned for several days now, the members of the Zhou Family had adapted to their new status and no longer went on hunger strikes in protest. Because Zhou Huaiyu had been missing for so long, the Police and Security Bureau surely had ulterior motives in suddenly sending him over, so everyone refrained from asking questions during the day. Zhou Huaiyu, however, lay on his bed like a walking corpse, not moving at all and skipping dinner.
When night finally fell and the lights were turned off, Zhou Bin could no longer hold back. He rushed to Zhou Huaiyu’s side and growled in a low voice, "How did you get caught? Didn't you say it was perfectly safe, that you had experts protecting you?"
He had realized it that afternoon: the scapegoat they had been looking for had actually been caught by the Police and Security Bureau long ago. No wonder they hadn't believed a word the family said. The root of the problem was right here.
