Chapter 957 - 949: The Look of Worry
At this moment, someone from below came forward, saying that someone important from the office was here, and the head of the prison was asked to go immediately.
The warden looked troubled, and Liu Rui immediately said, "You go ahead and take care of your matters first; we’ll continue watching here for a while and leave when we’re done."
The warden couldn’t think of a better solution, as he dared not offend either of the two in front of him, unaware of who had come looking for him from the office. Before leaving, he took a last glance back at Liu Rui and Xiao Yifei,
looking visibly uneasy.
After the warden left, Xiao Yifei just wanted to ask Liu Rui what his next plans were but hadn’t yet spoken when he felt a heavy blow to his head, everything turned dark, and he lost consciousness. Just before passing out, he saw Liu Rui standing before him and heard him say something, but by then, he was too disoriented.
When Xiao Yifei came to, the first thing he did was check his phone, finding that he had been unconscious for about forty minutes. Instantly, he realized Liu Rui’s intentions of knocking him out—he must have entered the prison. Despite being an adult, how could he act so recklessly? His actions felt akin to a lamb rushing into a pride of lions.
Forty minutes had passed; Xiao Yifei climbed from the floor, ignoring his throbbing head, and urgently retraced his steps. Finally, on the way back, he saw two prison guards walking toward him. Xiao Yifei hurriedly asked if they’d seen the person who came with him.
Both prison guards looked bewildered, saying, "We don’t know. The warden just sent us over to check up on you because you hadn’t returned for so long. We even thought you got lost!"
"This is bad, he must’ve slipped into the prison! Let me in now, I need to find him," Xiao Yifei said anxiously. He was holding out hope for Liu Rui not venturing alone inside, but it now seemed certain he was already there.
"This is not something we can decide; let us report it to the warden. Most people wouldn’t dare enter that area," the two guards said.
