Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement

Officer Zhao forced himself to explain.

"You’ve worked hard. Go home and take a bath first. I’ll give you two days off."

Jiang Feng patted Officer Zhao on the shoulder. That two-meter-tall red-haired baboon was an Upper Third-Grade Martial Artist, and Officer Zhao didn’t seem like someone who could take them down.

Of course, some things are better left unsaid.

"About Commander Liu..."

Officer Zhao hesitated.

He was mainly worried about Liu Yun’s retaliation, which might make his life in Zhenbei Prison unbearable.

"I’ll explain to her. You go ahead."

Jiang Feng advised Officer Zhao not to overthink.

After Officer Zhao left, Jiang Feng took some people to patrol inside and outside Zhenbei Prison. As he and Uncle Huo patrolled around the prison, they happened to encounter Chu Tianhe coming back from the Capital City.

Compared to the bruised and muddy Officer Zhao, Chu Tianhe’s situation was no better. His official shoes were covered in dirt, his demeanor was listless, and he looked utterly despondent.

It was clear that at Bao Longwei’s place, not only did he get scolded, but he might have also been punished.

Thinking that the issue was related to him, Jiang Feng quickly avoided Chu Tianhe and went back into the prison with Uncle Huo.

Chu Tianhe heard the commotion and looked over. Seeing Jiang Feng, he reached out, wanting to call out to him. But seeing Jiang Feng avoiding him, he hesitated to speak, ultimately sighing deeply and returning to the barracks, looking downcast.

In Chu Tianhe’s heart, he didn’t blame Jiang Feng.

Because when he left the city with Liu Yun yesterday, at nightfall, he wanted to head back several times, but Liu Yun didn’t allow it. Instead, she led them into the forest, asking them to search for newborn little monkeys, capture them one by one, and bring them back.

As a result, everyone ended up hungry for the entire night.

They didn’t encounter any monkeys but spent the night feeding mosquitoes in the forest. When Officer Zhao brought Bao Longwei’s token to call him back, Chu Tianhe and his men nearly cried from relief.

Now with Bao Longwei’s explicit prohibition, next time Liu Yun asks him to do something, Chu Tianhe has an excuse.

At noon.

Jiang Feng was in the office reviewing documents.

Liu Yun suddenly appeared at the door.

"Commander Liu, do you have any business?"

Jiang Feng quickly stood up to greet her.

"How many prison guards are there in the prison? The escapee hasn’t been caught. I need to take them out of the city for a while."

Liu Yun said directly.

It seemed she was determined not to give up until she found the White Ape’s offspring.

Now that the Prison Army couldn’t be mobilized, she set her sights on the prison guards.

Jiang Feng gently replied, "There are several hundred prison guards inside and outside, each with their own duties, busy inside and out. They really don’t have time for anything else."

"I only need a hundred. Organize them and have them wait for me at the gate."

Liu Yun finished speaking and left, not giving Jiang Feng a chance to object.

"Why is this woman so relentless? Not going to work, I need to find a way to deal with her."

Jiang Feng was speechless.

There were countless refugees in the Capital City, thieves everywhere, and Zhenbei Prison was overcrowded. If a hundred prison guards were suddenly transferred away, Zhenbei Prison would be thrown into chaos.

"Someone!"

Jiang Feng shouted towards the door.

"Yes, sir!"

Prison Chief Wang, Prison Chief Feng, and Jail Chief Ma had been waiting by the door.

"Each of you pick thirty-three prison guards from the three layers inside and outside. Make sure they are the best among our young and robust guards. Do you understand?"

Jiang Feng ordered.

Liu Yun was his superior. He had no choice but to comply with her instructions.

"Yes!"

Prison Chief Wang, Prison Chief Feng, and Jail Chief Ma quickly split up to select the guards from the three layers.

Soon, Jiang Feng arrived at the gate of Liu Yun’s courtyard.

Respectfully, he said, "Commander Liu, the people you requested are being arranged. I’ll notify you once they’re all assembled."

"Good. Hurry up."

Liu Yun nodded in satisfaction. She initially thought Jiang Feng would resist, but instead, he was so cooperative, obediently helping her select the guards and even demanding the best of them.

A few moments later,

Prison Chief Wang and the other two reported back that they had assembled the personnel at the prison gate.

Jiang Feng asked Prison Chief Wang to find one more person to check in.

Then he came to Liu Yun’s courtyard.

"Commander Liu, the people have been arranged. They’re all waiting for you at the gate."

Jiang Feng reported.

"Good, let’s go out and have a look."

Liu Yun had been waiting for Jiang Feng’s news. The two of them came out of the prison.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Seeing Liu Yun and Jiang Feng, the guards waiting at the prison gate saluted in unison.

"You may rise!"

Liu Yun was very satisfied. This group was full of spirit; as long as they thoroughly searched the forest, they could find the offspring of the White Ape.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Everyone stood firmly upright.

"Commander Jiang, I’m leaving the matters within the prison entirely to you. If anything happens, wait until I return to discuss."

Liu Yun instructed Jiang Feng.

"Yes!"

Jiang Feng dutifully complied, then watched as Liu Yun’s team departed.

"Officer Duan!"

After Liu Yun and her hundred guards left, Jiang Feng called Officer Duan over.

"Commander Jiang, what are your orders?"

Officer Duan sensed something off.

"Take this petition and get the Head Master’s signature. If he asks why there’s a need for an additional hundred personnel, say Commander Liu has taken a hundred prison guards out of the city to capture escapees. The prison is short-staffed, with only the old, weak, sick, and disabled left, and the inmates are rioting. Request the Head Master for reinforcements."

Jiang Feng handed a prepared petition to Officer Duan.

"What?"

Officer Duan’s mouth fell open.

The fate of Officer Zhao was clear in his mind. He had been comforting Officer Zhao all morning.

"What ’what’? Just go, and take your time; no need to rush."

Jiang Feng changed his expression.

"This... yes!"
