Shortly after Long Batian's verdict was announced, he was transferred from the detention center to Yuncheng City Prison.
On the day of departure, Brother Dao said with reluctance, "How can I bear to part with you like this... We've been husband and wife for so long, and I still really like you."
Long Batian's body stiffened, and he felt a tightness in his anus.
Dao Ge patted Long Batian on the shoulder, his eyes filled with a lingering affection: "I have men in that prison too. If anyone causes you trouble, just say my name, and no one will dare to hurt you."
"Don't worry, Batian, I'll be sentenced soon, and then I'll come find you."
As Long Batian was taken away, Dao Ge continued to call out from behind, "Batian, you must wait for me... you must wait for me..."
Long Batian covered his ears and staggered as he tried to escape.
He would occasionally urge the prison guards behind him, saying, "Go, hurry up! Get me out of here quickly!!!"
...
In the days leading up to his transfer to prison, Long Batian had a difficult time adjusting to his new cellmates.
I'm always hungry and afraid to sleep.
I'm terrified of encountering another pervert like Brother Dao.
The thought of that man made Long Batian grit his teeth in hatred.
When he leaves this place one day, I will tear him to pieces!
Long Batian simply did not believe that he would spend his whole life in prison.
He firmly believed that he would eventually leave this place.
After all, he's the father of the male protagonist in the novel!
Although the current plot deviates slightly from his expectations, the protagonist's luck and aura are undeniable.
One day, he will definitely leave this place!
However, before Long Batian could leave the prison, he received Li Chuting's divorce agreement.
Seeing the clear black and white text written on it, Long Batian angrily tore the divorce agreement to shreds.
He ran to the door and shouted desperately into the small window, "I want to see my wife! I want to see my children!"
But Li Chuting did not come to see him.
She entrusted the entire divorce process to her lawyer, telling him to contact the lawyer directly if he needed anything.
But Long Batian showed great resistance to this.
He even threatened that he would never sign the document if Li Chuting did not come.
He will not give her custody of the child.
After much hesitation, Li Chuting finally came.
Entering the family visiting room and seeing Long Batian's haggard appearance, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
Li Chuting suppressed her inner turmoil, slowly approached, and picked up the phone on the table.
"Tingting..." Long Batian's voice was choked with obvious sobs, "Are you and Xiaotian doing alright out there?... I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this, it's all my fault... Look at you, you've lost so much weight..."
Li Chuting struggled internally in the face of Long Batian's concern.
She admitted that she once had a deep love for Long Batian.
But with the passage of time and his lack of appreciation, this love has long since vanished.
But seeing his disheveled state now, she still feels sorry for him.
However, thinking of Long Aotian, for the sake of her child, Li Chuting hardened her heart once again.
She avoided Long Batian's gaze, her tone icy.
There was also a hint of businesslike detachment in her voice: "The lawyer said you insisted on seeing me before you would sign the divorce agreement... Now that you've seen me, is there anything else you want to say? Say it all at once."
"Tingting, I beg you. Don't be so cold to me." Long Batian's eyes were full of deep affection: "Listen, my heart is bleeding, you can feel it, right?"
"Enough! Stop talking!"
Li Chuting interrupted him, her heart filled with bitterness: "I've done so much for you, and you've taken it all for granted. What's the point of saying all this now?"
"You haven't given me a single penny of the money you've made since you became rich over the years. All the household expenses and the children's living expenses have been covered by the money I earned from odd jobs. So your debts and illegal gains have nothing to do with me... You should sign the divorce papers as soon as possible; it's better for both of us."
Long Batian remained silent for a long time.
His brow furrowed with unshed sorrow: "I know I haven't treated you well all these years. It's understandable that you harbor resentment towards me... Okay, I'm willing to sign."
Li Chuting was somewhat surprised to hear his words.
She thought she would need to negotiate for a while longer before Long Batian would finally sign.
I didn't expect you to agree so readily today.
Li Chuting's heart softened: "You should reform yourself well inside. If you need anything, I can help you prepare it... After all, we were husband and wife once, let's part amicably."
“Okay…” Long Batian nodded with difficulty, his voice hoarse. “From now on, I won’t be around to help you. You need to take good care of yourself and Xiaotian. If you meet a responsible man, marry him. You deserve better…”
Li Chuting didn't reply, but her eyes reddened.
Her eyes gradually became misty.
“Xiaoting, I’m not dragging my feet on signing because I don’t want to keep you waiting. I’m just worried about you.” Long Batian sobbed, “The outside world is so scary. It’s too hard for you, a woman raising a child alone…”
...
Suddenly, Long Batian wiped his nose and stopped crying.
He looked around, then covered the microphone with his hand and lowered his voice, saying, "Xiaoting, when you get back, find a pair of red underwear in my closet. There's a bank card wrapped inside."
"Inside is a million yuan that I secretly hid. With this money, at least you and Xiaotian's lives will be secure. That way, even if I die, I can die in peace... Waaah..."
Seeing Long Batian with snot and tears streaming down his face.
Li Chuting's expression grew colder and her face darker.
She said, "Before coming here, I made a special trip to see Ning Wan."
"Ning Wan told me that a woman can be soft-hearted, but she must never be soft-hearted. So no matter what you give me, I absolutely cannot accept it..."
Long Batian pretended to ask, "Xiaoting, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand. What does this have to do with that woman?"
"Your money is not a guarantee for Xiaotian and me for the rest of our lives, but a ticket to my imprisonment!"
“If I accept that money, you can take the opportunity to sue in court, claiming that your illegal gains were used for family expenses and are therefore marital property. In that case, I will have to bear at least half of your debts!”
Seeing that Long Batian's eyes were darting away, and he dared not look directly at him.
The last bit of love that remained in Li Chuting's heart turned into hatred at this moment.
She felt utterly ridiculous for all the time and youth she had given up.
"Long Batian, you are really terrifying. I almost don't recognize you... You weren't like this before..."
Li Chuting didn't want to stay and get entangled with him any longer.
She threw down the phone, turned around, and left.
No matter how earnestly Long Batian pleaded or angrily insulted her from behind, she remained unmoved...
