Chapter 31: A Shorter Sentence And Determination To Get Stronger
Han Yu looked around for Guard Shen instead of just waiting.
'Hopefully, he can help me more,' he thought. 'He shouldn't have left by now.'
A minute later, he found the man standing near the administration area.
"Guard Shen, may I talk with you?" Han Yu asked politely.
The guard, who was busy with paperwork, looked up at him.
"What is it?" he questioned.
"Can you help me ask if my friends can get out early? Or if not, how long their sentence will be?" Han Yu pleaded. "Please, they were fooled by Ox Hand. You must know of his reputation. That guy is insane! He forced them to gamble and lose. He even said he'd break their legs if they refused!" He threw the man under the bus without hesitation.
SIGH
The guard had a look of disappointment but didn't reject him outright.
"Give me a minute," the guard said before getting up.
Han Yu watched as the man walked into the warden's office.
