Chapter 158 - 157: Divine Assistance
Prison life had started to become easier again, not quite pleasant, but compared to the days when he was targeted everywhere, it was truly a difference between heaven and earth.
The price was that Yang Yi discovered he had now become penniless.
Yang Yi wasn’t very fond of money; he hadn’t grown up in extreme wealth, but he certainly never wanted for anything, and even after losing his parents, he had never suffered financially. So, money wasn’t a big deal to him—if he had it, he’d spend it, and once it was gone, that was that.
But after spending over two years in jail, to think that he’d lost more than a million British Pounds, Yang Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit twitchy inside.
It had been three days since the negotiation with the warden ended, and today a prison guard delivered a parole application to Yang Yi. All Yang Yi had to do was fill in his name, and the rest was written by others, ensuring he would have a flawless prison record. If the parole officer didn’t approve it, they would simply be blind.
After completing the application and knowing he would certainly be released within a month at the soonest, Yang Yi’s mood lifted considerably. Although he would immediately face the challenge of figuring out how to get Brian and the others out, that was all a problem for after his release.
During yard time, Yang Yi reverted to his easygoing state, chatting happily with Rodriguez and the others.
Chris planned to return to Yang Yi’s side. Seeing that things weren’t as he had expected, he sorrowfully admitted his mistakes to Yang Yi, claiming he had been coerced, that he had had no choice, and so on. But Yang Yi wasn’t cheap; although he knew that it was natural for followers to scatter when their leader fell, he was not magnanimous enough to forgive a subordinate who had betrayed him and told Chris and his thick-skinned followers to get lost.
