Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Life is Full of Vicissitudes

In the midsummer of 2003, Chen Xuewen, who had just turned nineteen, was sent to Pingcheng Prison in handcuffs and leg irons. A week ago, Chen Xuewen attended a classmate reunion. Encouraged by his classmates, he confessed his love to the school belle he had secretly admired for three years, but was mercilessly rejected by her. That night, feeling extremely depressed, Chen Xuewen got dead drunk. When he woke up, he found the school belle lying naked and in a mess beside him, dead. It was obvious that she had suffered violent assault before her death. Later, several witnesses came forward and testified that Chen Xuewen had forcibly dragged the school belle away and taken her to a hotel that night. Based on their testimonies, Chen Xuewen was arrested. In less than a week, he was convicted and sentenced to prison. No matter how much he protested his innocence, no one paid any attention to him.

At the prison gate, Chen Xuewen's parents were holding a cardboard sign with the word "Injustice" written in blood on it. They knelt on the ground, shouting for justice. On the other side, there were more than a dozen family members of the school belle, crying and wailing. Seeing the escort vehicle approaching, the father of the school belle rushed forward, pointed at Chen Xuewen and roared, "Chen Xuewen, you're so heartless! You'll never come to a good end!" "God, why didn't they sentence him to death?" "I'll definitely appeal. I must get him sentenced to death!" Chen Jianguo, Chen Xuewen's father, was furious. "My son is innocent!" The father of the school belle punched Chen Jianguo in the head. "Your son is innocent?" "My daughter was killed by your son. I'll beat you to death, you brute..." The family members of the school belle also rushed forward and pinned Chen Jianguo to the ground, beating him violently. Fortunately, the guards at the gate rushed over and separated the two sides. There was a cut on Chen Jianguo's head, and the blood was flowing down his cheek. But he didn't care at all. He shouted at the escort vehicle that had entered the prison gate, "Son, don't be afraid!" "Dad knows you're wronged!" "Dad will fight for your innocence even if it costs him his life!" Seeing this scene, Chen Xuewen couldn't hold back his tears.

After entering the prison and going through the formalities, Chen Xuewen was sent to a cell. There were seven people in this cell, all of them were big and strong men with fierce looks on their faces. Looking at the thin and frail Chen Xuewen, these men showed malicious smiles on their faces. As soon as the guard left, several men immediately surrounded Chen Xuewen. The leader was a man with a scar on his face. He sized Chen Xuewen up and down and said coldly, "Kid, what did you do to get in here?" Chen Xuewen said in a low voice, "I... I was wronged..." Before he could finish, the scar - faced man punched him in the stomach. Chen Xuewen had never been beaten like this before. This punch made him feel as if his internal organs were about to explode. He couldn't help but lie on the ground and vomit. The scar - faced man stepped on Chen Xuewen's head and cursed, "Damn it. Since you're in here, you must have done something wrong." "I'm asking you a question. Answer me honestly!" "If you don't know the rules, you'll get beaten!" Chen Xuewen said with a sob, "I really was wronged..." The scar - faced man waved his hand, and several men rushed up and pinned Chen Xuewen to the ground, beating him violently. Chen Xuewen was beaten black and blue and finally dragged in front of the scar - faced man. The scar - faced man stepped on Chen Xuewen's head and said, "Now, I'll ask you one more time. What did you do to get in here?" Chen Xuewen was always a stubborn person. He gritted his teeth and said, "I was wronged..." The scar - faced man was furious. "Damn it, still so stubborn!" "Hang him up and beat him!" Several men tied Chen Xuewen's hands with a bedsheet and hung him beside the bed. They took turns beating him for more than an hour. Chen Xuewen still insisted that he was wronged until he was beaten unconscious. The scar - faced men didn't dare to beat him to death. In the end, they just let him go. But in the following days, the scar - faced men didn't treat him like a human being at all. Whenever they were in a bad mood, they would slap him or beat him up. Chen Xuewen tried to report this to the guard, which led to one of the scar - faced man's subordinates being punished. But as a result, Chen Xuewen was hung in the cell by the scar - faced men and beaten all night. He almost lost his life. Since then, Chen Xuewen became much more obedient. He always avoided the scar - faced men and didn't dare to resist at all. His only hope was that his parents could clear his name and get him out of this hell.

Unconsciously, three months passed. These days, Chen Xuewen was extremely irritable. Because his parents hadn't come to visit him for more than a month. Visiting time was once a month, which was the only chance for his parents to see him. It was the time that both he and his parents counted on their fingers and never missed. But this month, his parents didn't come to visit him, which made him very worried. He knew that his parents wouldn't give up on him. Could something have happened to them? One night, Chen Xuewen summoned up his courage and asked a relatively kind - hearted guard named Zhang Dong to help him check on his parents' situation. At noon the next day, when Chen Xuewen was having lunch, Zhang Dong walked over with a gloomy face. "Xiao Chen, I just got the news. You... you have to be strong." Chen Xuewen's hand trembled involuntarily. He seemed to sense something in the dark, and his eyes were filled with tears. Zhang Dong took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Your parents had a car accident and died unfortunately half a month ago when they were riding a motorcycle to the city to appeal for you." The tears in Chen Xuewen's eyes welled up. The thing he was most worried about finally happened. His parents really had an accident! Zhang Dong looked at Chen Xuewen's appearance, sighed, and patted his shoulder. "Xiao Chen, please accept my condolences." Chen Xuewen sat there in a daze, completely numb. There were only the images of his parents in his mind. Not long after Zhang Dong left, the scar - faced men came over and sat down beside Chen Xuewen. The scar - faced man casually pushed half of Chen Xuewen's food away and then threw some food scraps from his own plate into Chen Xuewen's plate. "Kid, it's meat - eating day today. These bones are for you. Don't be polite!" The scar - faced man said and laughed with his subordinates. Chen Xuewen didn't say a word. He was still immersed in grief, looking blankly ahead. The scar - faced man thought Chen Xuewen was staring at him, so he got angry. He pointed at Chen Xuewen and scolded, "Who the hell are you looking at?" "What? Are you unhappy that I ate some of your food?" "Fine, then I'll give you something back too!" With that, the scar - faced man spat on Chen Xuewen's plate and then pointed at the plate. "Damn it, eat it all up!" "If you dare to leave a single bit, I'll hang you up all night again tonight!" Chen Xuewen still didn't say a word. However, there was gradually a glint in his eyes, or rather, a fierce look. He gradually came to his senses. Whether it was anger or grief, his body began to tremble slightly. He tightly grasped the chopsticks with his right hand, looking at the scar - faced men in front of him. All the blood in his body rushed to his head. He was wrongly imprisoned, and his parents died because of him. This made him completely despair and lose the hope of living. At this moment, he was no longer afraid. There was only one thought in his mind: to die. But before he died, he also wanted to vent his anger!

Seeing that Chen Xuewen didn't eat, the scar - faced man was even more angry. "Damn it, didn't you hear what I said?" "I told you to eat. Did you hear me or not?" The scar - faced man said and picked up the plate, ready to throw it at Chen Xuewen's face. And at this moment, Chen Xuewen moved. He clenched the chopsticks tightly, suddenly let out a roar, and stabbed them into the scar - faced man's eyes!
