Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning, Qiu Tong woke up and walked to the living room, feeling slightly tired and her waist aching.
Jin Yang sat with his back facing the stairs. Qiu Tong rubbed her sleepy eyes and said reproachfully, “You sure recover quickly…”
As soon as she said that, she saw Shao An and Ke Le standing opposite Jin Yang. They were holding the name list for the patrol shift. Cheeky smiles spread across their faces. Qiu Tong’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment. She lifted her leg and kicked Kohler lightly as she whispered, “Get lost!”
Ke Le chuckled as he led the mercenaries out to patrol the area. Qiu Tong glared at him with a frown.
On the weekend, Shao An accompanied her to S City Prison.
When the warden heard the news of their arrival, he was so nervous that he hurriedly tidied up his office and arranged his outfit in front of the mirror, before waiting respectfully at the door. From time to time, he would run his hand through his hair and peer out.
Qiu Tong shook his hand politely. Sitting on the leather sofa, the warden brewed hot tea and handed it to her in an ingratiating manner.
Shao An stood beside her with his hands behind his back. He stared straight ahead, his entire body emitting an intimidating aura.
Nervous, the warden mentally reviewed his recent work. There shouldn’t be any mistakes. He was so anxious that his hands were trembling. “Is there something the President needs? Please feel free to tell me. The S City prison will definitely cooperate. Please don’t worry.”
Qiu Tong sipped the hot tea and looked up at the warden with indifferent eyes. She said gently, “Don’t be nervous.”
“I came here today for a private matter. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”
When the warden heard her words, he glanced at Shao An nervously.
As the president’s personal guard, how could Shao An appear at any other place? Shao An must have followed the president’s orders to protect her. What on earth was so important?
Qiu Tong did not delay any longer. She took out two cheques from her bag and pushed them toward the warden.
“These are two cheques for five million yuan. You can cash them at any bank.”
“I want to bail out my father, Qiu Rong. I’ve asked you about this procedure a while ago…”
The warden looked shocked. He stood up in a panic and returned the cheques. His gaze drifted to Shao An as he explained. “That rule is no longer effective. We know that there are loopholes in our management, and we have been trying our best to improve the situation in the prison recently. We will never allow anyone to bail out criminals through private connections!”
“Please rest assured, Mr. President and Miss Qiu. Yu Ge’s situation will never happen again.”
The warden misunderstood Qiu Tong’s intentions and hurriedly bowed.
Qiu Tong rubbed her forehead awkwardly and took two more sips of the hot tea. Afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, she said sincerely, “I really want to bail out my father. Can you make an exception?”
Shao An frowned as he glanced at the warden. The warden hesitated.
The warden tapped on his laptop in a dilemma. He searched for the system records and handed them to her.
“We have already fixed the earlier bail loophole in the prison. We created a system to log in information about the prisoners. Now, all the information is public and transparent.”
“It will probably be a little difficult to secretly reduce a prisoner’s sentence.”
The warden explained the situation with difficulty. Seeing the disappointment on Qiu Tong’s face, he added with a hint of fear, “But we can think of other ways. For example, we send a list of candidates to have their prison sentences reduced to the capital every few months.”
“We just need to wait for the right time.”
Qiu Tong had no intention of making things difficult for the warden. She nodded and thanked him softly, “Thank you for your help.”
“Can I meet him?”
The warden heaved a sigh of relief. He had arranged for the prison guard to bring Qiu Rong to the visitor’s room. Qiu Tong couldn’t help tearing up at the sight of him. She looked at his weathered hands and said in a low voice, “Wait for a little longer. I’ll definitely bring you out.”
Qiu Rong touched her cheek and shook his head gently. “It’s alright, I am fine.”
Qiu Tong signaled Shao An to lead the prison guards out, giving them some privacy. She then hinted at Qiu Rong, “I went back to the old residence to take a look and found some notes you left behind.”
“But it seems like someone has secretly copied your notes. The information in your notes has spread quite widely. I’m a little worried.”
Qiu Tong held Qiu Rong’s hand and traced the word “human” on his palm. Qiu Rong was instantly agitated and wanted to speak, but Qiu Tong shook her head to gestured for him to calm down. At the same time, she looked at the surveillance camera in the room and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’m afraid someone will secretly retrieve this surveillance video. Play along with me!”
Qiu Rong nodded solemnly. His turbid eyes seemed to glow as if there was a ray of light blooming from the center.. His entire body started to radiate vitality.
