Chapter 142 - 141 Declare Your Purpose
Yang Yi encountered a bit of an obstacle while learning how to pick locks: he had no real locks to practice on.
Knowing the theory behind many skills is not enough; ample practice is also needed. Lockpicking clearly falls into this category. Yang Yi wanted to become as good as Hank, but without real locks to practice on, relying solely on the principles he remembered in his mind, he could forget about ever achieving that.
Therefore, Yang Yi soon realized that continuing to share a cell with Hank didn’t make much sense, given that he knew all the principles but had no real locks to practice on.
Yang Yi had a tough week. He was subjected to George’s targeted taunting and humiliation in the special housing unit, and he could only swallow his anger. Returning to the cell and not learning any more useful lockpicking skills from Hank was frustrating.
Owen finally left too. He resigned and was transferred to another prison. The protection Yang Yi had paid for was no longer there.
It wasn’t just Owen who left, the warden would soon be transferred as well, though Owen’s departure was a promotion while the warden’s was retirement.
Yang Yi didn’t know how he would get out after killing the beast Wayne. He hadn’t thought about escaping the prison because he had too much to do inside, so the idea of breaking out never came to mind.
But after killing the beast Wayne, he definitely would have to leave the prison. It was different from when he killed someone in the minimum-security area, and different from the daily fights in the maximum-security area.
So Yang Yi still needed to consider how to break out because it was time to think about leaving.
Yang Yi asked Zhang Yong, but Zhang Yong didn’t tell him.
