After some subtle probing, Xu Datong gave vague and ambiguous answers to whatever Su An asked.
Especially when asked about He Cheng, he blatantly lied.
Su An sneered inwardly. If it was just a guess before, she was now completely certain.
This jailer is in cahoots with He Cheng!
Having received this result, Su An stopped looking at the jailer and Madam He standing together and turned to find a corner to rest.
"Hehe, this little vixen won't dare to cause any more trouble. Old woman, you should go back now."
Xu Datong looked at Madam He with a meaningful gaze.
"Thank you so much for your help, sir!" Madam He exclaimed, her sharp eyes meeting his, but she nodded subtly.
Su An noticed this scene out of the corner of her eye and knew that the two were exchanging riddles, which made her even more confused.
What benefits did they give Xu Datong?
If he were only greedy for money, he would have made many promises, but Xu Datong simply wouldn't fall for them!
Su An couldn't understand it, so she could only watch Xu Datong leave warily, while He Wangshi returned to the corner and slumped down, looking resigned to her fate.
Something is absolutely wrong.
Even though Su An was so vigilant, a day passed and He Wangshi still didn't make any further moves.
Late at night, she could no longer stay awake and curled up on the bed to sleep. In the darkness, He Wangshi suddenly opened her resentful eyes and stared intently at her back.
"You damned little bitch, tonight is the night you pay for the He family's lives..."
He Wangshi quietly got up, loosened her belt, and walked towards Su An step by step with a ferocious expression.
"As long as I kill you, kill you, my Xiao Cheng will be able to soar to great heights!"
She murmured as if possessed, and after coming to the bedside, she viciously strangled Su An by the neck!
"Hmm!"
Su An was wary of Madam He. She hadn't been sleeping soundly to begin with, and the suffocating pain jolted her awake.
"Go to hell, go to hell!" Seeing that she woke up so quickly, Madam He became even more vicious, and the fat on her face bulged out.
"You dare to kill someone—"
The burning pain in her neck, accompanied by a lack of oxygen, caused Su An's face to flush red, but she immediately tried to pull He Wangshi's hand away.
At the same time, he turned around with difficulty, wanting to kick He Wangshi away.
However, despite enduring the punches and kicks, He Wangshi stubbornly refused to let go, clinging tightly to Su An's waistband.
"Even if I, an old woman, drag you down with me, it's still a win for me, hahaha!"
"Cough cough!" Su An's vision turned increasingly dark, and he felt his lungs gradually becoming oxygen-deprived and stinging. He stared at Madam He with shock and anger.
"You, you committed murder, cough cough, aren't you afraid of implicating He Cheng!"
What exactly happened? Not only was Madam He afraid of death, but she also doted on He Cheng. If she killed him, He Cheng would definitely be implicated!
Has Lady He really gone mad?
Su An's mind raced, but the air grew increasingly thin, and her face quickly turned pale. Her pushing hands gradually lost their strength.
She was indignant and felt wronged!
Just when Su An thought he was about to die, a flash of sword light suddenly appeared, and with a clang, He Wangshi's arm was severed!
"ah--"
He Wangshi's manic laughter was instantly replaced by a shrill scream.
She collapsed to the ground, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at her empty, bleeding arm. "My...my hand!"
Jian Yi had no time to pay attention to her; he was filled with lingering fear as he went to help Su An up.
"Miss Su!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Su An covered her neck, gasping for fresh air, her expression still somewhat horrified.
I almost, I almost died!
Before they could get a clear view of the situation, numerous torches suddenly lit up all around, and a multitude of footsteps were rapidly approaching.
Su An struggled to wipe away the saliva in his eyes and looked at Jian Yi, urging him quickly, "No, Brother Jian, you have to go! Someone's coming!"
In the dead of night, Jian Yi suddenly appeared. Although he saved him, it was obvious that he had broken into the prison without permission.
Getting caught would be bad news!
Jian Yi nodded quickly, "Then I apologize for my rudeness."
After saying that, he made a move to carry Su An on his back.
"Cough cough!" Su An patted his chest, taking a few steps back in fright, staring at him in horror. "I'm still being held in custody. Wouldn't leaving like this just add to my crime?"
Besides, she could pretend to be stupid in prison, and who knows what happened to He Wangshi herself? She probably won't be in any trouble.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yi's expression turned solemn.
"Miss Su, if the master finds out that someone is trying to harm you, he will not allow you to stay any longer. It would be best if you left first!"
"this……"
Looking at He Wangshi, who had already fainted from the pain, and then thinking of the jailer, Su An suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Who knows, the He family might conspire with the prison guards to silently kill her next time.
Thinking of this, Su An gritted his teeth and decisively walked towards Jian Yi.
"You audacious thief, how dare you trespass on the prison grounds!"
Unexpectedly, Xu Datong arrived with a group of prison guards.
The moment they saw the situation inside the cell, everyone gasped.
He Wangshi had both arms broken and her life was unknown. Blood was spraying all over the ground and was still flowing!
Jianyi and Su An were about to walk out of the prison gate, looking like they were trying to escape!
Xu Datong's eyes widened in anger as he roared, "You two traitors, you actually joined forces to harm prisoners and even attempted to break them out of prison! Your crimes are truly heinous!"
"Surround them quickly, don't let a single one escape!"
Su Anxin was in her throat when Jian Yi blocked her way.
Jian Yi coldly looked at Xu Datong, who was in the lead, and said, "Have you forgotten who you are working for?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Datong trembled slightly, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Su An, who was behind him, was completely dumbfounded.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Xu Datong reacted quickly, his face expressionless. "No matter who you are, trespassing and injuring prisoners is a serious crime!"
After saying that, he gestured to the prison guards around him, and they immediately surrounded the two of them.
Jian Yi gripped the sword at his waist, his entire body radiating killing intent. "Xu Datong!"
"Your master is giving you one last chance. If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As expected of a ruthless and decisive bodyguard following Fu Zhun, the chilling killing intent emanating from him immediately intimidated the surrounding jailers, who hesitated to step forward.
Upon hearing these words, Su An was stunned and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The master mentioned in the sword's mouth, without a doubt, is Fu Zhun.
But what exactly is going on here?!
Xu Datong's face turned even uglier. Looking at Jian Yi, he took a step back in fear.
However, his eyes darted around, and instead of confronting Jian Yi head-on, he looked at Su An behind him and threatened him.
"Miss Su, assault and escape from prison are serious crimes. If you turn back now and obediently wait for the investigation, it's not too late!"
"But if you dare to step out of the prison gates, you'll become a wanted criminal, and your whole family will suffer the consequences!"
