Chapter 768 Mrs. Du Released from Prison Asking for Help (1)_1
frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓ In the Ministry of Justice’s Prison, dark, damp, and cold, an acrid stench of decay pervaded the space. Nearly every cell held one or two prisoners clad in tattered garments. These inmates huddled in the corners, their disheveled hair obscuring their faces, and at the slightest sound, they’d start like frightened birds, wishing they could retreat into their own bellies.
Overall, the conditions here were undoubtedly much worse than those of the cell where Mo Qingze had previously been confined.
The prison was stratified by status: those not yet sentenced or whose crimes were less severe, destined for transfer elsewhere, occupied cells with slightly better conditions; those guilty of heinous crimes, beyond redemption, were consigned to the vilest cells—once inside, there was no leaving, except in death.
Located at the very back of the prison, facing away from the sun, was a cell encased by tall walls, eternally devoid of sunlight. Only a human-height iron door offered any connection to the outside. The door, locked round the clock, had a small window a foot square through which the daily rations were passed.
At this moment, the Chen Family of three resided in this cell.
Suddenly, the door to the cell was flung open from the outside; two jailers dragged in Chen Ji, who’d once again suffered inhuman punishment. They threw him into the cell like discarded trash, slammed the heavy iron door shut with a clang, and with it, took away the cell’s only source of light.
"Brother Jie, how are you, Brother Jie?" Mrs. Du, already accustomed to the darkness, crawled blindly toward Chen Ji, who lay motionless on the ground, calling out loudly while crying uncontrollably.
