Steam continued to rise on the tea cup. Ran Zhi quietly watched some recent news. The city became more and more stable.
There were many desserts on the table in the living room, small and exquisite. Ran Zhi ate some of each. It was approaching 11 o'clock, but Ran Zhi had already told the people in Section 11 that he wanted to eat at 12:30 today.
, today’s lunch is black pepper fried chicken nuggets and good black tea.
After Ran Zhi turned off the light and shadow screen, he came to the window that was full of bars. He looked at the prisoners who had just returned from work in the exercise yard below. He smiled and shook his head. Two years of prison life had passed by in a blink of an eye.
Zhi even almost forgot that he was in jail.
Everything is going well in the prison. At 8 o'clock this morning, Ran Zhi just met his son and daughter, and they sent him this year's 1 million.
In this prison, there are many businessmen like Ran Zhi who were involved in commercial crimes due to black gold issues. Ran Zhi would chat with some fellow businessmen next to him from time to time. Section 11 was also considered trustworthy. The cell that was originally auctioned
There was no price increase.
Now a cell has been auctioned for a high price of 1.5 million, but there is still demand. There are now 30 such rooms.
In a place where no one cares about, no matter how the prisoners are treated, no one will care about it. The businessmen who went out were also tight-lipped and did not talk about the problems here. Some businessmen even took the initiative to help conceal the problems here.
After all, everyone knows that if someone comes in again one day, it will be over.
Today Ran Zhi wanted to go for a walk in the exercise area below. He pressed an emergency notification button on a light and shadow screen next to the door. Soon two people from Section 11 came over. When he opened the door, Ran Zhi just went out.
The two of them respectfully guarded Ran Zhi as they walked along.
"Mr. Ran Zhi, it's great to believe in you."
"Yes, thanks to you, we made a lot of money in the stock market."
Ran Zhi smiled and nodded.
"It's a small thing."
Taking the elevator dedicated to members of the administrative department, we arrived at the cafeteria at the bottom. At this time, many prisoners seemed to be extremely hungry and were waiting to eat. Many of them looked at Ran Zhi's neck, which had no collar.
Soon Ran Zhi encountered a lot of hostile looks. There were many privileged prisoners in the prison who did not need to wear collars. Such prisoners usually did not have any interaction with other ordinary prisoners.
A large number of prisoners who were playing basketball or football in the exercise yard noticed Ran Zhi at this time. Many people gathered in a group and pointed at Ran Zhi, but they did not dare to say anything. There were no prisoners.
Dare to attack these special prisoners, because once you do, the consequences will be disastrous. They are just like guests of Section 11, and they are escorted by people from the Executive Section when traveling.
Ran Zhi raised his head and looked at the dazzling sunshine. During these days in prison, Ran Zhi became more aware of the benefits that money could bring to him.
People will change. Ran Zhi knows this very well. No matter how a person has been in the past, after being constantly contaminated with certain colors, the accumulation of quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. Recently, Ran Zhi often dreams about himself when he was young.
Ran Zhi once was thinking about a question, whether he is a good person or a bad person, but now he no longer thinks about these questions. When he was young, he was mocked again and again by the so-called fate, and was pushed to the point of collapse again and again.
Although Ran Zhi never collapsed, he felt that he should have survived.
Ran Zhi smiled and glanced at the prisoners in the exercise yard. At this time, he noticed a man squatting in a corner without wearing a collar. His face was clean, his skin was pale, and he was skinny. His face was expressionless.
Somewhat gloomy.
"That is......."
"Hydra."
Ran Zhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person involved in the Hydera case, which had been included in various textbooks in the city, would be here.
Ran Zhi walked over slowly, and images of him picking up a gun flashed through his mind from time to time. A smile appeared on his face. At this time, Ran Zhi slowed down. He could feel that Hydra was curled up in the corner.
His whole body was sending out signals of danger.
Looking at Hydra's appearance, the wise man couldn't help but think of an incident in the past, which happened a long time ago, before he picked up the gun.
One day, when Ran Zhi was helping at the construction site, his father forgot to bring his tools, so Ran Zhi volunteered to help his father go back to get the tools. Then Ran Zhi still remembered that day, the light was really dazzling, so dazzling that it was a bit dazzling.
The shabby house looks a little different in the sunlight.
The ground was stained with blood, and the room was in a mess. My mother was lying naked in a pool of blood. The sunlight was shining on the blood, which was a bit dazzling, even more dazzling than usual.
My father cried and the neighbors gossiped. Because my mother was unable to do heavy physical labor during her lifetime, my father worked hard just to take care of my mother. He wanted to give her a good living environment, so he gave himself the best things.
and mother.
My mother would do some small work at home every day and dress up a little because she wanted to greet the father and son who came home after a hard day in a beautiful and gentle manner. People nearby often said behind her back that her mother dressed up every day because she wanted to.
When trying to seduce a rich man, my father would just smile, because he knew very well that everything his mother did was just to add a touch of beauty to this seemingly gloomy home.
The local managers clearly knew who did it, but no one came forward. After the father and son took care of their mother's funeral, they were kidnapped into a room by a group of people. They threatened the father to stop talking nonsense.
, and then gave his father a sum of money.
Ran Zhi still remembered that when his father returned home, he started to pack his things. He was obviously in pain and knew who it was, but even if he chose to move away, his father still did not do anything extraordinary. Instead, he taught himself every day.
You must be honest and have your own bottom line and principles.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Ran Zhi didn't know it and lived in anger and pain every day, he gradually understood that his father was because of him, and his father never wanted to let him go.
Even though I was contaminated with hatred and anger, I just followed what my mother said, to cultivate myself into an excellent person.
Finally, as Ran Zhi grew up, he gradually understood what was behind his father's repeated cowardice and patience. He also understood that cowardice was not a sign of strength at certain times.
However, fate is still constantly at work. Ran Zhi lost his father, and his father made a choice the moment his legs were amputated, not wanting to cause any burden to Ran Zhi.
After his father's death, tragedy struck one after another. The only girl Ran Zhi loved chose to endure the humiliation for her own sake.
Ran Zhi knew very well that he should have died that night, or in other words, Ran Zhi had already died that night.
After his wife faced evil again and again, Ran Zhi still chose to be cowardly. Just like many people at the bottom, only cowardice can protect oneself and everything that needs to be carried behind.
Ran Zhi did it and succeeded, and finally gained happiness and reaped the ransom he had paid to his fate.
"Are you Hydera? My name is Ran Zhi."
Ran Zhi smiled and squatted in front of Hydera. For a moment, his head began to roar, and the surrounding voices began to fade away. He felt that this man was also an extremely cowardly man. His years in prison may have turned him upside down.
The last shred of his mind was gone.
He had a pair of blank and extremely empty eyes, and there was nothing left in his body. He should have been dead long ago, and was just a walking corpse.
"I want to invite you to lunch!"
Ran Zhi smiled and stretched out a hand, but Hydera did not respond and looked at Ran Zhi with empty eyes.
Ran Zhi had no intention of leaving, and he did not retract his outstretched hand. He knew very well that if he didn't do something, this cowardly man, who was as cowardly as his past self, would die after he was released from prison.
In an instant, he will choose death because he has nowhere to go and no way out.
Time passed by, and many people in the prison looked at the man squatting next to Hydera in the corner of the courtyard in wonder. Many people had seen this man. He was a wealthy businessman because he was involved in money laundering.
And was caught.
"what's on your mind!"
Hydra finally spoke, her voice dry and gloomy.
"What do you think!"
Their eyes met, and for a moment Hydra's expression changed slightly. Ran Zhi smiled and nodded. The originally outstretched hand pressed on Hydra's shoulder, and the other hand was also put up. For a moment Hydra stared.
His eyes widened, his expression began to change, and some warmth returned to his face that was originally as cold as frost.
Ran Zhi's eyes showed understanding, he smiled tolerantly, and hugged Hydra. The sun shone little by little behind the two of them, and Hydra stared blankly at the light behind Ran Zhi.
"Let's have lunch together, Mr. Hydra!"
For a moment, Hydra's head nodded involuntarily, and his eyes, which were originally dry, became moist. He felt Ran Zhi's kind invitation and the understanding in his eyes and expressions, including this physical feeling that had kept him cold for more than ten years.
to a warm hug.
Ran Zhi was very happy today. He smiled and raised his head. Under the strange eyes of the two department staff, he opened his arms and bathed in the sunshine.
"You two, can you please help me prepare a sumptuous lunch? And dinner. I hope to spend the New Year with Mr. Hydera tonight."
Hydera trembled and stared blankly at the man in front of her who was neither handsome nor tall. He was the first person who truly understood her.
Many people have comforted him in the past. Peristan and Tamai would come to him enthusiastically every day, but Hydera has never felt the slightest warmth because they sympathized with him, including many people in prison who sympathized with him.
own people.
As well as the conditions set by the current acting department, after being released from prison, you can directly choose the department you like and become a level 3 official.
Hydera does not need any pity, nor any favorable conditions. His heart, immersed in a damp and dark corner, only needs a little respect, an understanding smile, a warm hug, and an act of kindness.
These are enough.
But the man in front of him did it, but he did it very simply. Hydra wiped away his tears and looked at the light at his feet. There was a trace of fear in his timid eyes.
