Pang Jiulin said with a smile, "Ling Chen, you should be familiar with the Prison Director of Yan City Prison. Don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to him. During this ti, he will treat you well and won’t let you suffer. You can rest assured and stay here until I and the old General handle things properly and then surely bring you out of here."
Ling Chen nodded and turned to Yu Peng, "Can I have a word with Instructor Pang alone?"
"This..." Yu Peng glanced around, looking sowhat embarrassed as he said, "That’s a bit against the rules, isn’t it?"
"Yu Peng, we’re not strangers here. Can’t you just make an exception?"
Seeing that Pang Jiulin had spoken, Yu Peng smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "Don’t ntion it. Since Mr. Pang has already spoken, how dare I not listen? Alright, I’ll give you ten minutes. I’ll co back later." Having said that, Yu Peng strode out. As he passed by Ling Chen, he paused for a mont and glanced at Ling Chen with an intriguing smile, saying, "Mr. Ling, don’t rush, speak slowly."
Watching Yu Peng disappear at the door, Ling Chen and Pang Jiulin went over to the sofa and sat down. Ling Chen asked, "Instructor Pang, how confident are you about my situation?"
"It’s hard to say for now. Just rest assured, we’ll find a way to get you out no matter what."
Ling Chen’s heart sank hearing this. He could easily discern the underlying aning of Pang Jiulin’s words, that they were not completely confident in getting him out, thus using such words to placate him.
"Instructor Pang, we’re not outsiders here. Let’s be frank, how confident are you in rescuing ?"
"This..." Pang Jiulin hesitated for a mont and said, "Ling Chen, don’t worry about this matter. Listen to , stay here calmly and don’t overthink it. Besides, your current identity is different; you kidnapped Yang He and are now a prisoner. Unless this identity is cleared, even if we manage to help you escape prison, you’ll beco a wanted criminal by the governnt. So, we need to find a legal way to rescue you."
"Legal?" Ling Chen gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "Unless you can prove Yang He has connections with the God Organization to clear my na. But, you’ve been quiet for so long, indicating this path isn’t feasible. Moreover, the old General and Mr. He must have used their connections, yet no reaction from above, shows their influence is also ineffectual."
"You have quite a clear view." Pang Jiulin said sowhat helplessly. Initially wanting to keep it hidden, he didn’t expect Ling Chen had already figured everything out.
"Although this situation is quite troubleso, don’t give up easily. There’s always hope. Moreover, there’s one more thing..." Pang Jiulin opened his mouth, his eyes briefly showing hesitation. After a mont of pause, he waved his hand and said, "Never mind, it’s nothing significant, a small matter, you don’t need to know."
Originally planning to tell Ling Chen about Nanrong Yuan’s matter, he reconsidered and thought it unnecessary. Ling Chen is currently in prison, with his own problems unsolved, knowing more wouldn’t help and would only increase worry.
"By the way! Your big brother and others have arrived in Beijing a while ago. They intended to rescue you, but the old commander advised against it, thinking it wouldn’t help. The situation is already complicated; their involvent would only make things ssier."
"Big brother and the others ca too?"
Ling Chen felt a wave of emotion upon hearing this. The Eight Strange People always share blessings and difficulties, standing united. The fact that Qiu Yong and others arrived in Beijing promptly showed how they valued this brotherhood.
After thinking for a mont, Ling Chen spoke, "Instructor Pang, since my big brother is in Beijing, could you convey a ssage to them for ?"
"No problem. What would you like to convey?"
"Tell my big brother that I’m doing well and not to worry. Also, I miss third brother and plan to beco a playboy like him."
"Just those words, nothing else?"
"That’s all. Instructor Pang, make sure to deliver my words to them accurately."
"Rest assured, I won’t forget." Pang Jiulin got up and said, "It’s late, I should go back. There’s plenty for to handle over at Lonely Wolf. Ling Chen, if you have any issues, you can tell Yu Peng to pass them on. I’ve spoken to him; he’ll help you convey them."
"I know. Instructor Pang, if you have business to attend, go ahead."
"Alright." Pang Jiulin patted Ling Chen’s shoulder, looking at him with an encouraging gaze, "Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Don’t worry, there’ll always be a solution."
As Pang Jiulin left, Yu Peng reentered, smilingly saying, "Mr. Ling, well done. You haven’t disappointed , you’re indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness."
Ling Chen said coolly, "May I return now?"
"Of course, no problem." Saying so, Yu Peng smiled, making a gesture of ’please’.
Returning to his cell, Ling Chen didn’t wait long before seeing Qin Genglong brought back by two security personnel.
"Old Qin, how are you, alright?" Ling Chen asked with concern.
Earlier, upon knowing Pang Jiulin wanted to see him, Ling Chen was quite excited. However, Yu Peng suddenly had Qin Genglong seized, threatening him not to disclose Ling Chen’s experiences in Yan City Prison to Pang Jiulin. Otherwise, Qin Genglong would surely die. To save Qin Genglong’s life, Ling Chen had no choice but to hide the truth.
"I’m fine." Qin Genglong looked at Ling Chen with gratitude, saying sincerely, "Thank you!" He understood that Ling Chen didn’t have to endure such grievance for his sake.
Ling Chen smiled slightly, "No need to be polite. We’re now brothers in hardship, helping each other is what we should do." Pausing for a mont, Ling Chen changed the topic, "Old Qin, do you know the president of Qingyang Society and the Sect Leader of Hongn? I want to et them."
"What? Are you considering Tang Guolun’s suggestion to conspire with them to escape?"
Ling Chen shook his head and said, "It’s too early to talk about that. Yu Peng warned to be honest and not to stir trouble. If I’m too conspicuous, he’ll beco suspicious. Old Qin, the best approach now is to find soone convenient to relay ssages. If I personally et with Qingyang Society and Hongn’s people, Yu Peng will surely notice."
"That might be sowhat difficult." Qin Genglong thought for a while and said, "Tang Guolun might have a way. How about I go ask him for you?"
"That’s fine, such matters are inconvenient for to handle myself, so I’ll trouble you."
"No problem."
