Inside the chief jailer's office.
After Zhou Kang locked the door and carefully confirmed that no one could overhear him, he picked up his phone and made a call.
*Beep.*
The call connected almost instantly. A calm, unhurried voice came from the other end.
["Jailer Zhou, is the job done?"]
"Yes, Mr Gu. As per your request, that criminal has been placed in a standard cell," Zhou Kang replied, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
["Hmm. Next, I want you to pass a message to a few people inside your prison. And when they take good care of Ye Chen… you will turn a blind eye."]
"I understand. I will complete your task, Mr Gu."
["You'd better."]
["If you can't even handle something this simple, then what's the point of us supporting you into that position?"]
Zhou Kang's heart trembled violently.
He understood the implications behind those words all too well. This wasn't simple advice; it was a warning. That if he failed, he would be replaced.
