Chapter 89

Chapter 90: Out of Jail

Clang!

The dark cell was reopened, allowing a faint light to seep in. // //

The guard admired Zhao Heng from head to toe; this guy was truly a godsend!

Originally, he was supposed to be locked in the dark cell for more than three days, but he was released after just eight hours. This was an unprecedented case, and it was Du Jie herself who came with the release papers. What did this mean? It meant that Du Jie, the second sister, had taken an interest in Zhao Heng, the pig.

The guard looked at Zhao Heng, who was meditating like an old monk, and couldn't help but feel envious.

This guard was the one who had given the medicine to Zhou Qixuan.

Zhao Heng opened his eyes, which were much clearer than in the morning: "Am I being released?" He had already calculated the time in his mind. Ye Shishi might play some tricks, but there was a limit. She could use excuses for 24 hours, but after that, even a fool could accuse her of insincerity.

Therefore, when he saw the guard appear again, he knew he was about to be released.

The guard nodded slightly, his voice respectful: "Yes!"

Zhao Heng didn't waste words or put on airs. He simply stretched his limbs and stood up, then slightly lowered his head to shield his eyes from the glaring light outside. After eight hours in the dark cell, a whole day had passed, and it was now nearly dusk.

The handcuffs and leg irons were removed, and Zhao Heng felt much lighter.

As he walked toward the exit of the corridor, he glanced at Zhou Qixuan in the solitary confinement cell. Perhaps because he had slept or taken the medicine to reduce his fever, Zhou Qixuan looked much better when he met Zhao Heng's gaze and opened his eyes. He nodded at Zhao Heng again, his eyes filled with friendliness and gratitude.

"Take care."

Zhao Heng casually threw out these words and then walked through the high-security ward, turning into another corridor leading outside. Just before he disappeared, he whispered to the guard, so softly that it was almost inaudible: "If possible, take care of that prisoner. If I get the chance, I'll repay you!"

The guard who had given the medicine was taken aback and nodded subconsciously. After taking a few steps, he suddenly realized what he had just agreed to. Zhao Heng's promise was nothing but an empty check, but seeing the calm and composed look on Zhao Heng's face, he felt that agreeing might not be a bad thing.

A smile appeared on Zhao Heng's face. He didn't know why he wanted to help Zhou Qixuan, perhaps because of the mutual respect they had shown each other in the alley. As he walked through the corridors of the various cells, all the prisoners who knew about his case were shocked to see him without shackles.

None of them expected this ruthless guy to be released.

After all, dozens of people had been injured at his hands.

Chang Kong was also slightly surprised. Given Zhao Siqing's furious state, Zhao Heng was expected to suffer a lot. After all, the fight in the prison cafeteria was a challenge to the prison's authority, and with Zhao Siqing's hostility, Chang Kong thought Zhao Heng would be locked in the dark cell for at least three days. Who knew that after just a night's sleep, he was set free. Chang Kong was in awe of Zhao Heng.

It seemed he had made the right choice in joining him!

Chang Kong shifted his position to lean against the thick railing, avoiding his wounds from being touched by hard objects. After stabbing a guard with an iron bar in the morning, he naturally received special treatment from the guards, with two additional minor wounds on his back. Chang Kong didn't resist because he would be released in half a month.

He would endure for now and repay the guard tenfold or even a hundredfold in the future.

Chang Kong had already memorized the guard's badge number and name: 7749 Wang Long!

Zhao Heng also saw Chang Kong and smiled slightly. This prison stint was worth it, at least he had gained a strong ally in Chang Kong. Chang Kong shrugged, expressing his envy. A guy who had severely injured dozens of people could walk out so casually, a rare sight in the prison.

"Zhao Heng! Zhao Heng!"

The unperturbed Zhao Heng combed his hair with his free hands. At that moment, a concerned cry came from not far away, and then Du Ziyi, dressed in black, rushed toward him like a bird. Purely out of instinct, Zhao Heng opened his arms to embrace her.

Perhaps it was the accumulation of days of affection, or perhaps the worry on the way had made Du Ziyi act without restraint. Her face, like the sun caressing the earth, radiated a dazzling and captivating beauty. She ran like a deer on the grassland, and her black clothes...

...fluttered like a flying flag.

The guards parted like waves, instinctively making way for them. They watched helplessly as Zhao Heng and Du Ziyi embraced tightly, so tightly that everyone could almost hear the crisp sound of their bodies pressing against each other.

So damn tight!

This was the thought of all the prisoners and guards:

Zhao Heng, this guy, was ruthless in fighting and equally adept at taking advantage.

Du Ziyi raised her head with a radiant smile and kissed Zhao Heng on the face.

The world suddenly became eerily quiet, even the wind stopped blowing. Everyone, including the prisoners on both sides, stared at the two with wide eyes, and even Uncle Lu, who had accompanied her, was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected his master to be so bold and passionate toward Zhao Heng.

The prisoners also revered Zhao Heng. This guy was truly amazing, not only for his skills and courage but also for his ability to charm women. He had managed to win over Du Jie, a feat that was beyond the reach of ordinary people. After all, in Huaguo, people valued matching social status.

At that moment, many prisoners had the same thought: they would join Zhao Heng after their release.

Zhao Heng was also slightly taken aback. The girl was too enthusiastic! Then he realized that Ziyi was trying to increase his leverage, using the stark reality to inform everyone that he was her friend, her confidant, and even her man. Anyone who wanted to harm Zhao Heng would have to consider her presence.

"Zhao Heng, are you okay?"

Feeling Zhao Heng's aura, Du Ziyi's heart calmed down. Only then did she notice that he was covered in blood and had several already-clotted wounds. A trace of worry crossed her face: "You're injured. I'll take you to the Du family, and I'll have Doctor Nangong treat you."

Doctor Nangong Dodo was the Du family's dedicated family doctor.

"No need, I'm fine."

Zhao Heng loosened his grip on the girl, though he didn't mind holding her, he needed to give the Du family some face to avoid embarrassing Uncle Lu. He gently brushed her hair: "I just had another fight. Why are you here? Did you come to bail me out?"

"Yes."

Du Ziyi let out a long breath: "Your roommate Qingguan called me, and I immediately contacted my father to come over." She didn't mention any stomachaches or her mother's objections, fearing that Zhao Heng would worry about her: "Uncle Lu also helped me find evidence to prove your innocence."

"I handed it directly to the chief, and he ordered your release."

Although Du Ziyi made it sound simple, Zhao Heng knew that the Du family must have used a lot of resources to bail him out. Du Ziyi must have made great efforts for Du Tianxiong to ignore Zhao Siqing and get him out of prison.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel grateful.

Du Ziyi examined Zhao Heng's injuries: "Qingguan was right, you are injured."
