However, waiting and waiting, until 2 a.m., he still had not received any news.
Lu Hualiang was getting impatient.
So he called his subordinate, urging him to act quickly.
Only to find out, the contact was lost.
Reaching out to others to check on that subordinate's whereabouts, he discovered the guy had been taken to the police station.
The reason was theft, caught red-handed.
It was said to be quite brutal, caught and beaten to a pulp, swelling up like a pig's head, carried into the police station on a stretcher.
According to the police's account, when the thief saw the police, he was as excited as if he had seen his own birth mother, sniveling and limping towards them, eagerly climbing into the police car, refusing to be pulled out.
That look of fear, as if Lord Yama himself was chasing him.
In all their years as police officers, it was the first time they had seen a thief so eager to go to jail.
One could imagine just how harshly he had been abused.
