Chapter 126 - 125: Ruthless Person
The cell door closed, and indeed no alarm sounded; of course, even if there had been one, Yang Yi wouldn’t have heard it, but after waiting for over ten minutes without any guard coming to check, it was natural to assume that the door wasn’t locked.
Yang Yi lay back on his own bed, then he started to hesitate as he looked at Hank standing in the corner of the wall.
The role of a snitch is actually a very nasty one; in prison, there is a type of person who is shunned by all inmates, and that is the snitch. Even if the snitch is so tough that nobody dares to mess with them, they are still scorned and ostracized by all. If they can’t beat you or afford to provoke you, then they can still achieve isolation by simply not speaking to you and having no dealings with you.
So, Yang Yi really didn’t want to be a snitch, but the idea Owen had come up with was a good one; at least, for a prisoner held in the section for serious offenders to get a job, they definitely had to have made a significant contribution.
Having the reputation of a snitch was unpleasant to hear, but Yang Yi didn’t dwell on it for too long.
Zhang Yong had treated him well, and since Yang Yi had already resolved to kill the beast Ryan to ease Zhang Yong’s mind so that he would be willing to leave prison, he certainly wasn’t going to give up for fear of being labeled a snitch.
Moreover, Yang Yi wasn’t going to spend his entire life in prison, so being a snitch, he decided to be one. To accomplish something, you always have to pay a price, and this price was not considered large.
It was just that Yang Yi felt quite regretful; he really wanted to learn something from Hank, but having become a snitch, that opportunity had essentially vanished.
Furthermore, this wasn’t just ordinary snitching; this was framing someone, which was ultimately a guilty act.
However, sacrificing a stranger to save a good friend, Yang Yi was not a paragon of virtue. Although he really did feel guilty, he still made the choice quite readily.
