These past few days, with Liu Han's protection, Mao Tian had been doing quite well. No one bothered him during the day, and at night he had a private room, and he even managed to connect with the outside world.
But he still has to do the laundry work at night.
Liu Han said that if you want to survive here, you must follow the rules here. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can keep him safe.
Because the things transmitted these days were not threatening, Mao Tian just patiently went along with it for a few days.
Sure enough, Liu Han did what he said. The people here treated him much more leniently, and some even came up to talk to him.
While Zhang Wa was recovering from his injuries, the laundry room had a heavier workload. On the third day, the warden assigned him a new partner - Xiao Mao.
This guy had been here for over a year and was considered a seasoned veteran. With him handling the things Mao Tian was reluctant to do, his mood improved a little.
It was Saturday again, and Kang Ziqiang came to visit the prison on time in the afternoon.
He told Mao Tian that the investigation was making some progress and that he needed to run some more errands to accumulate evidence. Although this could reduce his suspicion, it was not enough to exonerate him.
"There is one question I still want to ask. It's just routine, but I can't answer it for you. Although I have already guessed the answer," said Kang Ziqiang.
"What's the problem?"
"I submitted some evidence records, and the prosecutor said a plea bargain will be made. I'll let you plead guilty to manslaughter under the influence of drugs. Life sentence will be reduced to five years!"
"What? Something I didn't do! Why should I confess?"
"Because the other party believes that the evidence is insufficient to overturn the verdict."
"You want me to confess?"
"No! I want you to give me a clear recorded answer so I can report back!"
"I don't admit my guilt! I didn't do it! I'd rather die than admit it!" Mao Tian slammed the table and stood up.
"Okay! I get it! Don't get excited! I don't think you should plead guilty either! We will definitely find conclusive evidence!"
"I can wait! Aren't there still four weeks left? Liu Han is protecting me now, so I'm relatively safe! Don't worry, I won't die that easily!"
"Well! It's a good thing to have someone protecting you, but you also have to be careful and be on guard against others!"
"What do you mean? Is there something wrong with this Liu Han?"
"I just want you not to trust anyone too much. The people here are not that simple."
"I get it! I won't have much to do with them. I just need to stay safe for four weeks until the court date."
In fact, if Kang Ziqiang hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have had much friendship with Liu Han. For some reason, he just couldn't like someone like Liu Han.
I always feel that there is something else behind his words, and that his purpose in helping him is not simple.
But he is under the eaves, where he can temporarily avoid the wind and rain, but he can only bow his head temporarily.
Hei Zai said, keep a low profile, don't help others and don't cause trouble.
He just helped one person and ended up sending him to the intensive care unit. How could he possibly make the same mistake again?
He is an environmental geologist who values the lives of all living things!
He will spare no effort to save anything that can be saved, whether it is family, friends, wild animals or natural vegetation.
A living being must have its value in life! Even if it was the murderer who killed his grandmother, he did not feel that he had the right to end the other person's life!
The law is not always completely fair and just, but he never thinks that his personal behavior is above the law! He will fight for it, and protest like an angry young man, all for the sake of fighting for the word "justice".
And now, he is in a twisted little world, feeling helpless!
Being restricted in his freedom is not scary for him. What is scary is the psychological torture it causes to his worldview.
There was no new news to convey, and Kang Ziqiang left soon.
What Mao Tian didn't know was that that afternoon, Ji Min met Liu Han in the capacity of an anti-black group.
"Liu Han, right? I'm Ji Min from the anti-black group." Sitting opposite each other, Ji Min spoke first.
"Anti-Black Group? Haha! I've been away from the organization for over ten years. Why would I still be interested in meeting someone from the organization today?"
"I'm looking for you not because of you, but for a friend."
"A friend?" Liu Han taunted, "Someone from the anti-black group has come in again?"
"Do you think everyone is as dirty as you?"
"Let me guess, the only new person here who's not part of the group and doesn't fit in is probably Mao Tian, right?"
"You also know that he doesn't fit in here!" Ji Min sneered.
"What do you want to discuss with me about him?"
"I asked you to simply keep him safe! Don't try anything bad with him. You can't afford it!"
"Are you threatening me?" Liu Han sneered back, "This is my world. What can you do to me?"
"You voluntarily pleaded guilty and were sentenced to twenty years, but I think that's too light a sentence!"
"You know it again?" Liu Han didn't take her seriously at all.
They were indeed in the same industry back then, but they worked in different groups and were involved in different industries.
Because of the confidentiality rules, he didn't think Ji Min would know anything.
But he was wrong!
"You were able to get your sentence reduced because you made military achievements and busted a smuggling ring, right?"
Seeing that Liu Han didn't say anything, Ji Min asked a question, which made Liu Han's face change immediately: "I wonder if you will still be able to enjoy the ten million?"
"What ten million? Don't make that up!"
"Twelve years ago, you took over a transaction mission from a smuggling group. But the mission failed! You failed there, and you also failed in the anti-gangster group!" Ji Min told the story slowly and watched Liu Han's face getting more and more pale.
