Three months later, Wu Feiyue returned to prison. You Tianfu was physically and mentally prepared to face any retaliation.
But unexpectedly, after returning to prison this time, Wu Feiyue did not take any retaliatory action. A few days later, he took the initiative to bring people to find Lu Chuan for a "peace talk". They verbally agreed on a "truce agreement". Both sides sorted out the territory and boundaries in the prison, minimized the conflicts that might be encountered in the future, and tried to avoid any excessive disputes.
Wu Feiyue's arm has healed, but traces of burn scars can still be seen through the cuffs. He tried to remain calm in front of Lu Chuan, but there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.
Finally, he left behind one final harsh remark: "Once I get out of prison, I'll still have to settle the score, Lv Lao Ba, we'll see!"
Faced with Wu Feiyue's change of heart, Ma Liu was unconvinced, believing that this guy was notorious for saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. He thought that he should not only not let his guard down but also be more careful. Wang Ning and Hu Jicheng also nodded in agreement.
Lu Chuan didn't care. He touched the scar on his face and smiled contemptuously: "No matter whether he surrenders sincerely or falsely, I have never been afraid. If he doesn't obey, keep fighting. If he does it again, I will put him in a pressure cooker!"
It is not known whether Wu Feiyue was really scared after being beaten or he had other bad intentions in mind, but in the days that followed, the prison was actually very peaceful. He never did anything out of line again, and Lu Chuan naturally did not bother to provoke him.
Despite this, You Tianfu still insisted on intensive training every day. As the saying goes, one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must always be on guard against others. He was afraid that Wu Feiyue would stab him in the back one day.
Day after day, just as You Tianfu and Fang Aihua said, time passes slowly and quickly.
Two years later, Wu Feiyue and others were released from prison after their sentences were commuted, and Lü Chuan began to look worried. He never worried about himself, but only about the outside group and the Second Master. However, this worry did not last long. Only half a month later, he, Ma Liu, and Hu Jicheng also received news of their sentence reductions and releases.
After more than two years of living together, You Tianfu hadn't developed a deep affection for the others, but he had a special regard for Hu Jicheng. Although they hadn't officially accepted each other as disciples, in You Tianfu's heart, Hu Jicheng was his master, and his physical and mental growth over the past two years was inseparable from his guidance and instruction.
Before leaving, Hu Jicheng looked at You Tianfu, said nothing, but raised his hand and patted his shoulders heavily several times.
That evening, Hao Zhengguang chatted with his friend Tianfu: "Brother Tian, what are your plans after you graduate? Will you continue to be a doctor or change your career?"
You Tianfu thought about it for a long time, but ultimately shook his head. He had no idea about his future. His initially confident life plans had been completely changed by his imprisonment. He was completely lost as to where to go from here.
Originally, You Tianfu thought he had another year to think about his life and find his direction, but a month later he unexpectedly received a notice of sentence reduction and release.
This was an unexpected result. You Tianfu couldn't even believe his ears. He was stunned for a long time before he reacted. The joy of being free began to slowly burst out from his heart.
In comparison, Hao Zhengguang was not so lucky. Although they ate, lived, worked and worked hard together every day, his sentence remained unchanged. He even wrote several application reports, but they were all rejected one by one.
In this regard, You Tianfu can't help him much, he can only comfort him and tell him to reform himself, and see him later.
After completing all the formalities with the prison guard, it was already ten o'clock in the morning when I stepped out of the prison gate. The breeze was blowing on my face, the sun was shining brightly, and the breath of freedom filled the air.
You Tianfu squinted his eyes to enjoy the sunshine, took a deep breath, and couldn't help laughing. But as he laughed, the joy gradually faded, and endless confusion surged in his heart.
He walked aimlessly for a long time, passed by his school and his workplace, looked at the tall buildings and the hustle and bustle of traffic around him. At this moment, the world seemed so familiar to him, yet so strange.
It was not until dark that You Tianfu finally stepped into his own community, came to the door, took out the key, and opened the door like a thief.
Inside, Fang Aihua and You Zhiguo were dining in the restaurant. Seeing You Tianfu suddenly appear, they froze in shock. Fang Aihua's eyes welled up with tears as she hugged You Tianfu tightly, her body trembling slightly. A flicker of tenderness flashed in You Zhiguo's eyes, but then his face turned grim, and he slammed his chopsticks down before sitting on the sofa.
After wolfing down his meal, You Tianfu came to You Zhiguo and timidly called him "Dad".
You Zhiguo waved his hand and said, "Don't call me dad. I don't have a son like you! Who do you think you are to innovate on the operating table?"
Recalling the operation two years ago, You Tianfu had his own opinion. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his grandfather's 'Concentrated Mind Acupuncture Method': "In that operation, even if I didn't use acupuncture, the patient's organs might still have failed, and the final result..."
"The final result is that you will pay the price for your actions!" You Zhiguo's eyes widened. "Why, hasn't the country taught you a lesson in the past two years? You're still stubborn now! If you have the ability, don't come back and rely on your parents! From childhood to adulthood, if I hadn't paved the way for you step by step, would you have been able to get into university? You could have gotten a job at the city hospital? You have no ability!"
These words made You Tianfu's eyes redden. He suddenly raised his head, looking hawk-like and wolf-like: "Do you think I am willing to live my life according to your wishes? Do you think I like these gifts of yours? I can live without you paving the way for me!"
After saying that, he picked up his clothes and backpack, and slammed the door and left despite Fang Aihua's attempts to stop him.
Even downstairs, I could still hear You Zhiguo's roar: "Let him go! You little bastard, you've never tasted the dangers of society before, and you really think you're in a big deal! Get out of here now, and don't come back here until you've made something of yourself!..."
Walking on the street at night, You Tianfu's ears were always echoing with You Zhiguo's roar. In fact, without You Zhiguo saying anything, he had already made up his mind that from now on he would rely on himself and would never go home until he made something of himself!
He pulled out his phone and looked at the familiar friends and colleagues in his address book, swiping through them but never dialing any. He knew that as a man who had just been released from prison, he was not popular, and rather than facing contemptuous looks and annoying questions, it was better to be alone and free.
Later that day, Fang Aihua sent a message, asking him to stop arguing with his elders and go home early. You Tianfu didn't say much, just replied, "Mom, don't worry, I want to fight for it myself."
Fang Aihua understood You Tianfu's character and knew her son had grown up, so she stopped trying to persuade him to stay. Not long after, she transferred 5,000 yuan to him...
