"Damn it, how dare they torture you?"
Lu Yuan glared fiercely at the outside.
However, the people inside the prison don't care at all. In this prison, there are many prisoners who are beaten every day.
After all, everyone knows what life is like in prison. The reason someone ends up in prison is because they've committed a crime.
Then, Lu Yuan secretly took something out of the dimensional space and stuffed it into Zhou Tong's mouth.
Those are golden fruits. Right now, his golden fruits are very useful for expanding his land, so Lu Yuan will not take out the golden fruits to give to others to eat unless absolutely necessary. Even he has never eaten one himself.
After Zhou Tong ate the golden food, his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, his face was still covered in blood, making him look rather pitiful.
Upon seeing Zhou Quan's expression, Jiang Wenguang, who was standing nearby, immediately adopted a serious demeanor.
"Brother Zhou, how are you?"
After Zhou Tong finished eating the fruit, he slowly woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes, looked up and saw Lu Yuan and Jiang Wenguang, and a sad smile immediately appeared on their faces.
"Thank goodness, I'm not dead. I thought I was dead. It's so good to see you all again."
Lu Yuan's expression was solemn. He turned his head to look at the prison guards around him, his heart filled with murderous intent.
At this moment, Zhou Tong coughed and said in a low voice, "I've discovered a secret."
Hearing that the other party still wanted to reveal a secret at this point, Lu Yuan quickly shook his head.
"This is not the time to talk about this. You risked your life to get this secret. Just stay here and I will definitely find a way to rescue you."
Zhou Tong nodded, then a hint of regret crossed his face.
"Sigh, I heard from the people inside that if you want to get someone out, you have to spend a lot of money, and even sign a very unequal treaty with their warden. That's how they made their fortune!"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback after hearing Zhou Tong's words.
At that moment, he remembered some things the person outside had said to him when he came in.
It seems that the warden of this prison is more ruthless and greedy than Lu Yuan.
"It's alright, don't worry. I'll do everything I can to get you out of here. Saving your life is the priority. By the way, what's the situation inside the prison? How can the guards act so casually?"
Zhou shook his head with a painful laugh.
“Everyone who comes in is going to be beaten. They just want me to betray you so they can pay a ransom, and that way I can avoid being beaten!”
My initial thought was to save every penny I could, so I wanted him to pull through. I never imagined he'd almost lose his life, but thankfully, he's alive now!
Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan felt a pang of sadness and quickly patted the other man on the shoulder.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's just leave this at that for now. I'll figure out a way to get revenge for you later! You just said that Lu Yuan wouldn't hurt you if you paid the money, right? Then I'll go find that warden right now!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan got up and left the room immediately. He then found the jailer who had brought him in and told him his thoughts.
The other person burst into laughter immediately after hearing this.
"Don't bother the warden with such trivial matters. Just hand over the money to our management office, and the prison will provide your companion with excellent accommodations. As long as the money is in place, you'll even have women inside!"
After hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
However, after he looked away, he inquired about what he needed to pay, and to his surprise, the other party asked for ten million right off the bat.
Lu Yuan originally intended to bargain with the other party, but he thought that as long as Zhou Tong could live well in prison, that was better than anything else. He would solve the problem first and then find a way to get Zhou Tong out.
So he gritted his teeth and handed over the ten million.
Zhou Tong was brought back to prison, but this time Lu Yuan personally witnessed the prison guards taking Zhou Tong to a very luxurious single cell.
The private room is just like a hotel room, with soft bedding, a private bathroom and toilet, and even its own kitchen with furniture and appliances—it has everything you could need, almost like a small mansion.
Seeing that Zhou Quan had settled down, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he turned to look at Jiang Wenguang beside him.
"Originally, I wasn't planning to use my personal connections, but now it seems I really have to. Take a look at who the influential managers are in this Shanghai. Give me a list, and I'll see which one I can find!"
Jiang Wenguang nodded immediately, then turned and left.
After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan's face was gloomy.
Xiao Shan didn't know what had happened, but she felt that Lu Yuan seemed to be planning something since last night. However, she didn't ask any questions. Now that she saw Lu Yuan return with a frosty expression, she subconsciously asked him a question.
"What happened? You look so cold, is something wrong again?"
Lu Yuan sighed and took out a cigarette to light. He hadn't smoked in front of Xiao Chen for a long time, and he was really angry this time.
Although Shanghai appears to be under very stable management on the surface, it is actually in a state of chaos behind the scenes. A mere warden is able to threaten the city lord, which is practically an abuse of power.
However, Lu Yuan steeled his resolve and knew he had to finish this matter and bring Zhou Tong back.
Otherwise, things will be even harder to resolve if problems arise. It's best to find someone you can talk to, someone you can confide in, rather than wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.
After a day had passed, Jiang Wenguang finally returned.
It's clear that Jiang Wenguang didn't get much sleep that day.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he came into the room with a notebook in his hand.
The other person first greeted Xiaoshan, then nodded to Lu Yuan, and then handed over the notebook.
"Brother Lu, we've already checked. There are only about five people in the entire camp who are connected to you. See which one you think has influence!"
