As Tao Yu was about to leave with a stern face, he suddenly pulled her back with great force. She hadn’t expected him to recover so quickly from the electric shock, and before she could use her baton again, he had already acted. Yue Linze gave her no chance, pulling her with one hand while throwing the baton away with the other.
By the time the baton clattered to the floor, Tao Yu was pinned on the bed, her limbs completely immobilized.
She struggled twice and said coldly, “Let go! Are you trying to assault an officer?!”
“Doesn’t the little prison guard want to be assaulted? Then why take such good care of me, and…” Yue Linze glanced at the medicine bottle and laughed lightly, “…protect and care for me?
Reflected in the clear drinking water was his face, originally bruised and wounded, now mixed with the color of iodine, looking vibrant and lively at this moment.
Yue Linze stared at the water cup in silence, thinking about how he had just provoked the young prison guard with this face. For the first time, he felt that the prison guard’s look of disgust might be genuine.
Slap!
He expressionlessly placed the cup on the ground and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes. Just before falling asleep, he suddenly remembered that when he fell into the pit with the young prison guard earlier, his face looked almost the same as it did now.
Yue Linze’s mouth twitched, understanding for the first time what it meant to be utterly embarrassed.
In the cafeteria, Tao Yu stood quietly leaning against a pillar, watching the prisoners in her area eat.
The prisoners were clearly divided into two groups, with a tense atmosphere that made her momentarily think they were about to fight.
Compared to her area, Lao Chang’s side was much more relaxed. Prisoners ate when it was time to eat, drank porridge when it was time to drink, and after finishing, they would stand up and wait. Soon, a group of people finished eating, lined up obediently next to the table, waiting for Lao Chang to take them back to their cells.
