Chapter 192 - 191: Open the door, check the gas.
Yang Yi confidently said to Brian, "I firmly believe the warden will conceal my real information."
After thinking for a moment, Brian shook his head and said, "Everything you’ve done has been devastating to the warden, and he’s been dismissed. You’ve destroyed everything for him. At this point, why do you think he has any reason to cover for you? Besides, there are so many prisoners at Pelican Bay Prison, and a lot of them know you."
Yang Yi asserted firmly, "The warden can’t tell the truth. It’s true his future is ruined, but he’s not dead! And he doesn’t want to die, at least he’s not at the point where he’d rather die than have me brought back."
"Why would he die?"
Yang Yi chuckled and replied, "It’s simple logic. Wealthy people, who commit crimes that aren’t too serious and don’t attract much attention, have already formed a grey industry chain using substitutes to serve their prison time. And it’s not just Pelican Bay Prison; many prisons have this, with a large vested interest group involved."
"And what can the interest group do?"
"The warden’s career may be over, but he hasn’t committed a crime, so right now he’s just lost all his positions. However, if he dares to reveal what I’ve done, then what happens to the former warden? What about Owen? If the warden dares to spill the beans, there’ll be too many people who will want to kill him for ruining their livelihoods, and besides, just for self-preservation, this vested interest group can’t let the warden talk recklessly."
After pondering for a moment, Brian nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Yang Yi stated in a deep voice, "The warden has a family, and he’s also very wealthy. Unless the warden wants to die, he will absolutely keep my matter hidden. The same goes for the other prison guards; they’re all in the same boat. Having the warden take the fall alone is enough."
