Chapter 648: The Second Prison is Full of Loyal Officials
In the corridor.
Liu Yi and Song Ping'an stood straight behind Feng Mu.
Sudden!
“Thump, thump, thump—!”
A burst of desperate and hurried footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the stairs on the second floor.
Liu Yi and Song Ping'an looked up almost at the same time.
Mrs. Li, who had always been dignified and serious, seemed to have lost her soul at this moment. She staggered down from the second floor, without any of her usual demeanor.
Feng Mu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he rushed forward in two steps, his face instantly filled with just the right amount of anxiety and concern:
"Madam! What's the matter with you? What happened? Why are you so frightened?"
Li Hanyu didn't stop at all, and rushed straight to the master bedroom. His voice was trembling and choking with uncontrollable sobs, and he repeated over and over again:
"He's awake... My son is awake! He's awake!"
The sharp, distorted sobs were like a huge rock thrown into stagnant water, instantly piercing the silence of the entire corridor and spreading like ripples.
The officials who had been whispering in the living room suddenly stopped talking. They looked at each other, their faces filled with uncertainty and their thoughts diverging.
Some people reacted very quickly, standing up and walking quickly towards the corridor; others were still in shock, frozen in place with flickering eyes.
The muscles on Du Changle's face twitched several times, and his eyes flashed with brilliance. Then he slapped his thigh and stood up. Two trembling smiles appeared on his fat cheeks, and he rushed to the front of the crowd.
Li Hanyu ran too fast and lost her balance. Her high heels twisted violently to the side and she was about to fall forward.
"Ma'am, be careful!"
Feng Mu was quick to act and supported her steadily as she fell.
Li Hanyu had to slow down a little because of this support.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze, shaken by great emotions, swept across the corridor quickly as if by instinct.
She glanced at Feng Mu's expression, the changes in expression of his subordinates behind Feng Mu, and the faces of the executive government officials who walked out of the living room.
Feng Mu's reaction was a textbook performance.
The moment the four words "My son has woken up" pierced his eardrums, the carefully constructed "anxiety" on his face froze in an instant, like a wax figure suddenly splashed with ice water.
Then, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his body frozen by the sudden "shock", the muscles beneath his skin seemed to have detonated explosives, his face bursting with astonishment.
After being stunned, a fierce "light" appeared under Feng Mu's lenses, almost burning through them.
"Warden Qian...is awake?!"
Feng Mu cried out in shock, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, and filled with a trace of caution and disbelief, as if he was afraid of waking up from his dream.
"Really, ma'am?! Warden Qian... is really awake?!"
He repeated it eagerly, as if he needed to personally confirm this unexpected surprise again.
The trembling voice filled with ecstasy, the excitement that was beyond words, under the background of [Fraudster's Glasses] and [Proof of Loyalty lv3], the true feelings revealed seemed to touch the soul more than Li Hanyu.
After all, Li Hanyu was directing and acting in the film himself, and Feng Mu—he really knew nothing about it!
At least in Li Hanyu's current understanding, this is the fact, and it is ironclad and beyond doubt.
Liu Yi and Song Ping'an were also instantly stunned for a moment!
What the hell?
A level 12 storm instantly blew up in the minds of the two people, and information fragments collided wildly.
What did Mrs. Li just say—"My son is awake"?
This tone, this state...it's obvious that he just learned the news.
No, aren’t you Warden Qian’s mother? How did you just find out that Warden Qian had woken up? Weren’t you the one who called the minister over?
So, there is a big problem here!
What confused Liu Yi and Song Ping'an was not that Warden Qian woke up. They already knew that Warden Qian woke up on the way here. What confused them was... Warden Qian just woke up now?
Could it be that... it wasn't Madam Li who told the minister that Warden Qian was going to wake up and called him over, but rather that the minister had foresight and predicted that Warden Qian would wake up at this time tonight, so he brought us here.
The causal sequence behind this!!!
Think about it, if you think about it carefully, doesn’t it make people... feel excited!
What if Warden Qian’s awakening was not an unexpected medical miracle, but the minister made him wake up tonight?
What does that mean?
It means that everything... is under the minister's control!
Even more deeply, perhaps the explosion that occurred before Warden Qian wasn't an accident, but...
Liu Yi had really been with Gong Qi for a long time, and all sorts of conspiracy theories suddenly emerged in his mind, and then he felt as if the blood in his body was boiling in an instant.
An electric current of surprise and extreme excitement instantly ran through his scalp.
All these complex psychological activities take only a brief moment in reality.
The confusion on Liu Yi's face quickly faded, replaced by a smile that came from the depths of his soul, one that was extremely "excited" and "ecstatic".
The smile was so bright and dazzling, so sincere and burning, as if I had heard the most beautiful news in the world.
The corners of his mouth stretched out in a grin, revealing a row of snow-white teeth. His eyes sparkled with extreme "excitement," and his entire spirit was visibly elevated.
That’s great!
Everything is under the control of the minister, everything is a conspiracy designed by the minister, it’s really... awesome!
Liu Yi was sincerely excited about the bright future of the Minister and the Second Prison. There was not a trace of acting in his expression; it was a natural overflow of his inner shock and admiration.
And this smile happened to be caught by Li Hanyu, who was looking at them with tears in his eyes.
In Li Hanyu's eyes, this was naturally Liu Yi's true feeling of excitement and joy for Qian Huan's awakening.
Song Ping'an's mind wasn't as quick or "sinister" as Liu Yi's, but he was definitely not stupid. He always kept the minister's instructions in mind in the car.
————We must wholeheartedly welcome Warden Qian’s return.
He was stunned for half a second longer than Liu Yi, and then a pure, honest and simple smile of "surprise and joy" bloomed on his face.
He nodded vigorously, his smile showing the honesty and sincerity of a low-level person without much scheming.
This scene also fell into Li Hanyu's eyes, and naturally it was another big plus for Feng Mu.
Li Hanyu is a master of performance himself and is well versed in the art of acting.
Therefore, she is also very good at seeing through other people's performances. Compared with the masks that everyone wears in daily life, she believes that when a person suddenly hears unexpected news and is completely unprepared, the emotional reaction that is revealed in an instant is the most difficult to conceal.
And now, in the eyes of this "expert", the reactions of Feng Mu, Liu Yi and Song Ping'an did not show any trace of acting.
The "reality" that hit her in the face made her want to cry.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with Li Hanyu’s eyesight, her eyesight is still very accurate, but she can’t stand Feng Mu’s tricks, who can act to the point that even his own magnetic field has changed.
As for Liu Yi and Song Ping'an, they played their roles completely as they really are, and it was natural for them to do so.
They were really happy that Warden Qian had woken up, but the reason for their happiness might be beyond Li Hanyu's imagination.
Li Hanyu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes and her heart was filled with emotion:
"Not only is Feng Mu loyal, but even the subordinates he brought with him are so loyal to my son. This is truly commendable."
If only Feng Mu was like this, Li Hanyu might just sigh again at his loyalty and reliability.
After all, Feng Mu's "loyal dog" image, which was deeply rooted in her bones, had already been deeply ingrained in her heart through all the previous incidents, so she would not be surprised.
But what she saw at this moment was far beyond her expectations.
Even Feng Mu, who seemed to be just an ordinary follower, reacted so passionately and was so excited from the bottom of his heart when he heard that my son Qian Huan had woken up.
The meaning behind this made her feel far more shocked and...reassured than Feng Mu's own loyalty.
This shows that not only is Feng Mu a loyal minister to his son, but the people around him are also loyal ministers.
There is no need to think too much about it, this must be the result of Feng Mu's daily teaching by words and deeds.
This also means that Feng Mu must have a large number of loyal officials around him, just like the followers he has with him now, who are extremely happy to welcome Qian Huan's return.
It is probably the Internal Inspection Department established by Feng Mu in the Second Prison.
Li Hanyu was filled with emotion:
"The most brilliant move my son Qian Huan made while in the Second Prison was personally discovering and promoting Feng Mu, and even empowering him to establish the Internal Inspection Department!"
Okay, okay...
A huge joy was like a warm torrent, instantly melting away the long-accumulated worries and fears in Li Hanyu's heart.
She was originally worried that her next plan to let Qian Huan return to the Second Prison to regain power would push her son, who had just woken up and was unable to move, into a vortex of danger.
She was afraid that Qian Huan would have no one around him except Feng Mu, that he would become alone in prison, and that those evil people with ulterior motives would harm him again.
But now, looking at these three "loyal ministers" who were so excited and their loyalty was beyond words, and thinking about the "loyal ministers" gathered in the Internal Inspection Department...
Although the heavy pressure on Li Hanyu's heart could not be said to have disappeared in an instant, it was like the spring sun shining on snow, melting away most of it.
A strong sense of confidence surged in her heart.
With Feng Mu setting an example and protecting him, and a group of loyal officials from the Internal Inspection Department at his disposal, even if my son Qian Huan stays in a fish tank, he will be able to command the two supervisors and regain power.
no problem!
There will be no problem!
Feng Mu and his loyal and capable officers from the Internal Affairs Department will certainly protect my son Qian Huan like a solid wall of steel.
Oh~
Oh, and we have to start right away and make the explosion-proof glass wall in the warden's office three times thicker.
This time we need to build a six-layer enclosure. No, six layers might not be enough...
As Li Hanyu's mind raced, his eyes swept across the group of officials peeking out the door of the living room, and caught a glimpse of the mask-like smiles on their faces.
Especially when Du Changle lingered on Lefort's fake smile for a moment, I felt that the traces of performance were too obvious and the fakeness was disgusting.
Feng Mu also turned his head and glanced at Du Changle.
The lens flashed, clearly reflecting the malicious highlighted mark on the other person's head.
When Du Changle saw Feng Mu looking at him, the smile on his face became more and more like Maitreya Buddha. Feng Mu withdrew his gaze and also smiled as he walked into the ward which was converted from the bedroom with Li Hanyu.
Inside the huge recuperation tank, Qian Huan was slowly opening his eyelids, his neck turning stiffly, his eyes unfocused, as if he had not yet fully regained consciousness.
Li Hanyu rushed to him like a gust of wind, pressing her hands hard against the cold wall of the tank. Tears burst out like a dam breaking, and she choked with sobs:
"My son...you...you finally woke up!"
Qian Huan blinked his heavy eyelids with difficulty, opened his lips slightly, and squeezed out a word from his throat that was as hoarse as sandpaper:
"mom……?"
This one word was like lighting a fuse.
Li Hanyu couldn't hold it in any longer, and all his emotions turned into heart-wrenching sobs.
The crying was so sad and mournful that it truly broke the hearts of those who heard it and moved those who saw it to tears.
Feng Mu stood quietly half a step behind Li Hanyu, staring at the "heart-touching" scene in front of him.
He seemed to be moved by this huge sorrow and joy. He raised his hand and gently took off his glasses, wiping the barely perceptible moisture from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips.
A line of words slowly flowed across my retina:
[Second Prison (Partially missing and expandable)]
[Second Prison Control Progress Update!]
[Current control completeness 96% → 97%! ! !]
[New record added to the event log:
Qian Huan woke up, in full view of everyone. (Completeness +1%)
(P.S. If a person wakes up without anyone to witness it, it is not considered as truly waking up, just like being alive. If one just lives alone in silence, it is the same as being dead.)
The strong smell of disinfectant in the bedroom was dispelled by a more invisible smell called power.
The officials gathered at the door tacitly separated to both sides, making way for a passage.
Wang Xinfa and Lu Chenjia walked in and glanced at the scene in the room calmly.
Li Hanyu had just experienced an emotional storm and her body was still trembling slightly. She wiped her cheeks vigorously with the back of her hand, trying to wipe away the surging tears, but it only made her red and swollen eyes more obvious.
Qian Huan was suspended in the convalescent tank, his body gently fixed by complex pipes. He raised his head with some effort and looked at the two of them.
"Okay, I'm glad you woke up."
Wang Xinfa stared at the "big son" in the fish tank who had no blood relationship with him, and his face showed the kindness of an old father.
Lu Chenjia took a well-timed half step forward, his voice clearly carried into every corner of the room:
"Qian Huan, I never thought you would wake up. You are truly blessed with a long life.
You don't know that during the time you were unconscious, Councillor Wang was so worried about you and your Second Ward."
Qian Huan's face still showed the confusion of having just woken up. He blinked, as if he was still trying to piece together the fragments of his memory before he fell into a coma.
He looked at President Lu, then at Councillor Wang, and muttered to himself:
"Second Prison? 'Octagon Project'? I..."
The next second, he seemed to remember something important. He looked at Li Hanyu with anxiety in his voice:
"Mom! Why can't I move? How long have I been lying there?"
Without waiting for his mother's answer, he turned back hastily:
"Boss Lu, Councillor Wang, don't worry, I'm awake now. I will definitely return to the Second Detention Center as soon as possible and will not let our Octagonal Cage Project..."
