Chapter 53
Seeing Zhuang Liang and Lou Tiannan coming, Xu Di breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked over and reported in a low voice, "Ms. Tang heard the little girl crying and rushed over, and Mr. Bai followed her. When Jed saw them, he started fighting first..."
When Zhuang Liang heard Jed's name, the wrinkles between his eyebrows deepened a little. "Why is he here?"
Xu Di's expression became even more awkward: "If he wants to come over, we can't stop him..."
Lou Tiannan glanced at Jed, the man who was pointing a biochemical gun at them at the prison gate. Zhuang Liang had just told him that he was the younger brother of Aurora missionary Cook, and now had a high status in the Federation.
Xiya curled up in Tang Mali's arms with red eyes, looking very aggrieved. Seeing Lou Tiannan, she felt even more aggrieved. She pointed at Jie De and complained: "Uncle... he hit me..."
Jed was so angry that he jumped up and down, pointing at Xiya and yelling, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? When did I hit you?!"
Tang Mary's voice was even louder than Jade's, and she angrily said, "Why are you barking like a dog?!"
"That's right, what's so fierce about it! Aren't the red marks on Xiya's face the evidence?" Baichuan is a master at adding fuel to the fire.
Jed was so angry after being scolded by Tang Mary that he felt a surge of rage. Ever since he entered the Federation through his brother's connections, no one had dared to speak to him like that. But he still remembered Tang Mary's identity and suppressed his anger, saying, "I didn't hit her! She got the scratch herself!"
Xiya's cheeks puffed up as she complained loudly, "Yes! And you want to steal my bag! And my doll!!"
Jed thought the little girl in front of him was absolutely despicable, confusing right and wrong. He said, "I just took a look at your broken doll, what's wrong?! There might be some dangerous stuff in your bag, is it okay for me to check it?! What an uneducated thing—"
"Jade!" Zhuang Liang shouted angrily, interrupting him before he finished speaking.
But it was too late.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jed's leg hit by a flying chair.
Jed screamed, and before he could look up to find the murderer, he was pushed against the wall by the mace.
The metal spikes pressed against his fragile neck, some of them had already pierced his skin, causing blood to flow out. He looked at Tang Mary in front of him with a moment of panic, "You, what do you want to do?! This is the Federation—Ah!"
Before Bang could finish his words, the pain in his neck intensified.
On one side was Hongsha, and on the other side was the younger brother of Aurora missionary Cook. Even though he was once the famous director of the Security Bureau, he could only step forward to mediate.
"Ms. Tang, the people below are ignorant, so you don't have to do anything." Zhuang Liang said slowly.
"I see you're not doing a good job, so I'm trying to do it for you reluctantly." Tang Mary didn't give in at all, and used the mace in her hand more and more forcefully.
The suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe made Jed's eyes bulge out and his mouth open. His instinct for survival made him gather his supernatural powers and attack the person in front of him.
Seeing an iron arrow taking shape from Jed's palm and about to shoot towards Tang Mary, Zhuang Liang was determined not to let a quarrel that could be resolved through negotiation turn into a conflict between the Federation and Hongsha. He stood beside Jed, pressed his palm on Jed's hand, and without any apparent force, he made the iron arrow in Jed's palm dissipate.
Being able to suppress the supernatural energy of Jade, a B-level supernatural user, shows that Zhuang Liang's supernatural energy is far higher than Jade's.
Tang Mary raised the corner of her eyes. The old guy is still an old guy. He does have some strength.
"Jade, apologize to this kid." Zhuang Liang said to Jed with a stern face.
Tang Mary's mace didn't loosen its grip at all, but Jed couldn't use his special powers at the moment, and with his vitals pressed against him, he didn't dare to scream. His Adam's apple moved, touching the steel spikes of the mace, and his breathing became cautious. He hid the resentment in his eyes and said reluctantly, "I'm sorry."
"The sound of flies is louder than yours. Who are you talking to?" Tang Mary asked while tightening the mace in her hand.
Jed's face turned purple from holding back his anger, and Tang Mary obviously didn't give Zhuang Liang face. Jed didn't dare to do it again. With a frown on his face, he said to Xiya, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched your things."
Xiya turned her head away without any appreciation and snorted, "Bad guy!"
When Jed heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. He never expected that such a wild child would be attacked by Tang Mary.
Seeing that the situation had calmed down a bit, Zhuang Liang said seriously, "Don't worry, Ms. Tang. It was my fault for not disciplining my subordinates. I will punish him severely after he leaves."
"Don't say those deceptive words, just punish him right now in front of us!" Tang Mary hated it most when people beat around the bush. She was not a fool, so how could she not see that this man named Jed had a backer? Maybe he could make a big thing small, or a small thing nothing, after he went there.
Zhuang Liang had no choice but to turn to face Jed and say, "You have deserted your post and made irresponsible remarks. I will demote you one level in rank and deduct one month's supplies. Do you have any objections?"
Jade gritted his teeth and said, "No."
"Hmph, a trick that's neither light nor heavy." Although Tang Mali said this, she still put away the mace. She is a seasoned businessman and knows the principle of knowing when to quit.
Jed collapsed on the ground, finally catching his breath with great effort. Outside the door, he heard panicked footsteps running towards him. His voice came before he even arrived: "Director Zhuang! Elena is missing!"
It was like a single stone causing a thousand ripples. Tang Mali sarcastically commented, "It seems your supervision isn't very good. A switch with tens of millions of volts actually allowed someone to escape."
Zhuang Liang didn't bother to respond to Tang Mary's words and hurried to the room where Elena was imprisoned.
When we arrived, the room was empty except for a pair of handcuffs. Strangely, the door was still locked.
Someone turned off the power, took out the key and opened the prison door. Zhuang Liang walked in and searched the prison inch by inch. There was nothing wrong or missing, but the man just disappeared alive.
"First seal off the base, then call in people for questioning, one by one!" Zhuang Liang felt a severe headache. The Federation had always been wary of Elena's rebellion. He had finally caught her, but not long after, she escaped.
The security bureau searched high and low all night, but there was no trace of Elena. However, based on the time when the camera powered off and the screen went black, it was determined that Elena escaped from prison and disappeared between 11:34:15 and 11:35:46 p.m. during this short period of one and a half minutes.
During this period, Zhuang Liang and others were resolving the conflict between Jed and Xiya in the interrogation room. Because of Jed's problem, the guards outside the prison were the most lax.
They didn't know how Elena left the high-voltage door, nor did they know how she broke through the guards outside the prison. In short, a living person just disappeared out of thin air.
Jed immediately said that it was planned by Tang Mary and Baichuan. This was their conspiracy. They were in cahoots with the treacherous Elena.
Zhuang Liang thought about this speculation, but quickly dismissed it because Tang Mary and Bai Chuan's current state did not seem like something they had planned.
Tang Mary exclaimed at the tightly closed prison door. "Wow, Bai Chuan, how did Elena escape? There's high voltage on this door, and there's no sign of damage to the walls. The windows are fake. How could she have escaped without anyone noticing?"
"This judge is quite something!" Baichuan was also observing the room carefully.
Zhuang Liang looked at the two of them who seemed determined to find clues, and thought to himself, if it was them, then their acting skills must be really good.
"Director Zhuang, I think there must be someone inside your bureau," Tang Mali said, sincerely helping Zhuang Liang make his guess. "How else could she have gotten out of the handcuffs and escaped on her own? And she could have known what was going on outside even though she was locked up like this. Someone must have told her."
Zhuang Liang certainly knew what Tang Mali said. This was also his guess. He even thought about whether Lou Tiannan and others did it, but in that minute and a half, Lou Tiannan's other subordinates were being interrogated. Lou Tiannan, Tang Mali and Bai Chuan were even under his nose at the time, so it was impossible for them to do anything.
After a thorough investigation, Zhuang Liang still couldn't figure out who was behind Elena's move. Could it be that there was an undercover agent for Elena in the Security Bureau?
Zhuang Liang couldn't figure it out, and neither could anyone else. How did Elena escape?
…
Five hours ago, eleven thirty.
Everyone was taken out for interrogation, and only Elena was left in the prison. She could hear footsteps outside. She looked out the window, a little dazed, knowing that she was now in the hands of the Security Bureau and it would not be easy to get out, but she had to find a way, her friends were waiting for her.
As he was thinking, a flash of light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Elena noticed it keenly, but found that there were square spots of light flashing on the fake window with a black screen.
Is this to tell her the time?
The light spot flickered irregularly several times, and Elena's expression changed slightly. The flickering frequency matched the signal code in her memory.
Dot dot dot, dot longer, longer longer...
Three minutes later, outside, safe...
The light flickered, and Elena seemed to be back in the past when she was trying to find a way to rescue the kidnapped Mi Xing. When she was at a loss, the same signal code came from the earphone. The difference was that the sound coming from the earphone was knocking, with long and short knocks telling her the detailed information of the skyscraper.
The light spot lasted for a very short time, but it was enough for Elena to see clearly what the light spot meant. She didn't know who gave her the light spot, but she knew that this was her chance.
If it's three minutes, then that's enough time for her.
Elena glanced at the electric handcuffs on her wrists, and her hands condensed into ice. The handcuffs were covered with ice, and the current stopped flowing. She melted the ice into water, dripped it into the keyhole, and condensed the water into ice again, easily forming the shape of the handcuff key.
Click.
The handcuffs were opened.
As for the mechanical door, she made it in the same way. The locks of the East District 1 Border Prison were custom-made by her. No one knew the specifications and dimensions better than her.
Looking at the time, she used ice to block the current of the monitor along the wires, opened the door lock, and came out easily. She did not forget to close the prison door and turn on the current again.
After coming out, just as the light spot code showed, there were basically no guards outside. No one was more familiar with the border prison than her. When she walked through a corridor and into the temporary lounge, she could even hear the voices of Tang Mary and Zhuang Liang.
She quickly found her uniform to change into without distraction, and then walked through the corridor calmly. At this time, everyone in the corridor was paying attention to the situation in the interrogation room, and no one would notice that someone who did not belong to their team passed by them.
Thanks to the comprehensive electronic screens in Border Region Prison, the light spots have been guiding her.
Until she safely left the Border Prison.
Who is helping her?
