A trace of sadness flashed across the henchman's face. "I've had a hard life. My father died when I was very young, and then my mother ran off with a rich man. She left my sister and me with her elderly grandmother, who raised us by picking up scraps. A few years ago, my grandmother became seriously ill, and to raise money for her medical expenses, I had to find a way to make money quickly. Unfortunately, even so, I still couldn't save my grandmother's life. Now my sister and I are the only ones who depend on each other. My sister is still in high school, and to pay for her tuition, I have to work hard to make money."
It turned out that he was also a poor man. The thug couldn't help but tell Wu Meng his life story.
Wu Meng's most vulnerable part was struck. He felt the same pain, recalled his own tragic life experience, and felt even more sympathy for the henchman in front of him. He secretly vowed that when he got out, he would definitely help the brother and sister.
"If you do a legitimate job, you can also make money to support your sister's education." Wu Meng wanted to know whether this thug had the intention to return to the right path. If so, he would help him.
The henchman didn't stop feeding Wu Meng. While feeding Wu Meng, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Hey! There's a saying that goes, once you enter the rich family, it's like entering a deep sea. I've entered the underworld and I have no choice! It's difficult to get out of it unscathed. Society no longer accepts people like us. I can't find a decent job."
"If you're willing, I'll help you when I get out."
"real?"
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
"Thank you, Master Wu. Come, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll go get more for you."
Both of them were smiling, as if they had made a big deal.
Another henchman was very dissatisfied with his companion's behavior. Although he and Wu Meng were not far away, he could not hear what was said clearly because the decibels were too low.
But no matter what they talked about, he was not interested and did not want to know.
He turned around and glanced at Wu Meng and his companions who were chatting happily, and complained in a loud voice: "I say, are you crazy? How can a guard treat prisoners like this? Do you think this is his home? He treats us like his servants."
From the words of this henchman, it can be heard that he is not like his companion. He does not buy the idea that Wu Meng is the prince at all.
The thug ignored him and continued chatting with Wu Meng.
After staying in this dark basement for more than half a month, Wu Meng went from being uncomfortable at first to being accustomed to it.
He got used to being able to fall asleep while standing, getting help with his bowel movements, and eating food that he had never even bothered to look at before.
He is decadent and degenerate, but that doesn't mean he doesn't cherish life. He will endure all the suffering and pain here and wait for the day when he sees the light of day again.
The two were chatting and laughing when suddenly a man came in with some good wine and food.
The thug who was drinking alone there quickly stepped forward to help, took the things and put them on the table.
"So much good wine and meat, is it because Master Bao saw how hard my brother and I worked and wanted to reward us?"
The thug was already drooling over the sumptuous dishes on the table. He stared at the food and asked the person who delivered the food for money.
The person who brought the food replied with a smile: "This is a farewell meal for him."
"What? Farewell meal?" The thug reached into the dish and quickly pulled his hand back in shock. He was surprised and felt unlucky, so he wiped his hand over his body again and again.
"Yes, Master Bao ordered it to be sent over. Please serve him well!"
The person who delivered the food replied briefly, then turned and walked towards the basement door.
The henchman who was talking to Wu Meng and Wu Meng also vaguely heard the three words "farewell meal".
Wu Meng even whispered to the henchman, "What's a farewell meal? I've only heard of it on TV. Are they really going to kill me?"
"I don't know! This is the first time I've heard of this. Wait a minute! I'll go find out for sure."
After the thug finished speaking, he put the duck leg and wine glass aside and followed the person who delivered the food out.
At the door of the basement, he caught up with the man who had just delivered the meal and asked him about the doubts in his heart.
The person who brought him the meal explained the actual situation, and he suddenly realized that they were going to release him. No wonder it was called a farewell meal; the name was indeed well-deserved.
After hearing the news, he was secretly delighted, thinking that his hard work for half a month was not in vain.
Wu Meng was finally able to get out alive. He had been very kind to Wu Meng for so long, almost like a nanny. Even if Wu Meng had a little conscience, he should not forget his kindness.
