Tang Wenyi and the old master left the family meeting and rushed to the prison. Unexpectedly, they were stopped outside before they could see Lu Ze. The former pointed at the staff angrily and said, “Do you know who we are?! If you offend me, you can forget about staying in the capital!
“If you know what’s good for you, get lost! My Tang family is not something you can afford to offend! Isn’t it easy to fire a person like you? If you perform well, I don’t mind mentioning it to your superior! My son is suffering now. If I see him missing a strand of hair, I’ll blame you!”
When the prison guard heard this, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Those who didn’t know better would probably think that he was the culprit! He looked at the two people with extraordinary auras in front of him and said, “This isn’t what I meant. The higher-ups have given a death order. You’re only allowed to enter and not leave now. That’s because the entire prison is infected by an infectious disease. If anyone enters, won’t there be a risk of getting sick?”
He paused for a moment and continued, “I’m doing this for your own good. If you insist on going in, I won’t stop you. However, you have to consider it carefully. There are no more spare beds inside. You can only sleep on the floor. Moreover, three meals a day is definitely not comparable to your life outside.”
Ever since the prisoners in the prison were infected with the epidemic disease, countless family members who wanted to visit the inmates all chose to retreat after hearing his words. After all, it was really not worth it to sacrifice themselves!
If the antidote had not been developed, it would have been normal for them to be on tenterhooks. However, the No. 3 pill made by Lu Ming Corporation had already started circulating. After they bought the medicine, wouldn’t these prisoners be saved? Why was there a need to be in a hurry? They could just take it that they had brought this upon themselves! After all, none of the people locked up here were innocent.
Tang Wenyi blurted out without thinking, “Why? Are you threatening me? Let me tell you! I’m going to break your rules today! Let’s see who dares to stop me! My precious son has always been precious and can’t compare to ordinary people like you! What if he dies because of you all!”
She readily and flatly blamed the staff. The prison guard frowned and said, “Madam, please calm down. This is the order of the higher-ups. If I let you in, I’ll be blamed too! If this disease spreads to more people because of you, won’t I be a sinner for eternity?”
He stood rooted to the ground. Even when facing Tang Wenyi, whose facial features were distorted, he did not seem to want to retreat. Just as she was about to hit him in exasperation, a crisp slap suddenly sounded in the air! She covered her left cheek in shock and looked at the person beside her in confusion.
The old man said with a dark expression, “Have you embarrassed yourself enough? Do you want everyone in the outside world to laugh at us?! I’ve taught you for nothing! You’ve learned nothing from the past! Those who don’t know better will think that I’m bullying others! I know you’re worried about Little Ze, but do you think you’re the only one who’s worried?!”
The Tang family was already in a whirlpool of public opinion because of Tang Wenyi. If someone saw what happened today, his old face would be ruined!
In the next second, he said calmly, “We won’t go in, lest we implicate you. But can you help us contact Xing Boke? We’re friends with him. Just say that Tang Boyan wants to see him. He definitely won’t refuse to meet us. What do you think?”
Xing Boke?
......
Isn’t that the name of our deputy warden?
The prison guard subconsciously looked at the two of them a few more times and thought to himself,?No wonder they’re so arrogant! They’re really something! To be honest, of those I’ve seen in the past few days, they have the highest status. It’s not like there haven’t been any rich second-generation heirs visiting the prison before, but they’re not as powerful as these two!
Thinking of this, he nodded and said in a softer tone, “Okay, no problem. Please wait a moment.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the office building beside the prison. Tang Wenyi seemed to be a little dissatisfied and muttered, “We haven’t seen that guy for more than half a year. Who knows if he will help us? He might even choose to hit us when we’re down because of the rumors outside!”
“… Then who do you think I should blame?”
Just a few simple words made her shut up completely. She looked around guiltily. He couldn’t blame her for everything, right? However, under the old man’s cold gaze, she instinctively refrained from saying anything else. Otherwise, the other party would definitely not let her off easily in public!
The old man said faintly, “If it weren’t for you, would more than half of the Tang family’s accumulated connections have been destroyed? I have thousands of ways to get Little Ze out for a period of time, but for now… Heh! I only have Xing Boke left. If you spout nonsense again later, don’t follow me back to the Tang family!”
“… Understood.”
This was the final ultimatum. Tang Wenyi quickly nodded and said, “I understand, I understand! I was so impulsive just now because I wanted to help Little Ze. Moreover, I haven’t spoken to him in a long time since we last met. I-I just thought that he was sick…”
As he spoke, large teardrops rolled down her face. She looked very pitiful. The old master’s cold heart finally softened. “You’re already so old, why are you still crying? With me around, you don’t have to worry about Little Ze’s safety. Besides, I’ve already sent someone to buy medicine.”
…
Meanwhile, in the office.
Chu Jinyu poked her head out of the door curiously. It had been two days since Brother Lu Ming said that he was waiting for someone to come. However, because she had not seen him for a long time, she was eager to know the answer. Hence, she could not help but run over and ask, “Brother Lu Ming, will someone really come? Can you tell me something first?”
Seeing this, Lu Ming put down the fountain pen in his hand. After standing in front of her, he laughed and said, “I even made a bet with mother when you wouldn’t be able to resist asking. Looks like I won.”
He rubbed his wife’s cute head lovingly. Chu Jinyu rubbed against him like a kitten and said, “You made a wager on me? How much is it? Do I have a share? Brother Lu Ming, since I let you win, tell me the answer in advance. Otherwise, otherwise… When I get angry, I’ll let you sleep on the sofa tonight!”
