Chapter 23

Li Tianyuan never thought that by imitating Qin Feng, he wouldn't even last two minutes. When he looked at Qin Feng beside him again, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

However, Li Tianyuan's character was quite resilient. After catching his breath, he squatted down again. By the end of the political class, he felt his legs were floating, and he almost collapsed several times.

"Qin Feng, is what you taught me... really useful?" Li Tianyuan grabbed Qin Feng, who was passing by, and asked, panting heavily, as if he had run fifty laps on the playground.

"Of course it is. You'll know after practicing for half a year."

Qin Feng really didn't expect Li Tianyuan to persist. He glanced at the distant wall and whispered with a smile, "See that wall? After half a year of practice, you'll be able to jump over it with the strength in your legs."

Originally, Qin Feng didn't want to teach Li Tianyuan martial arts. However, since Li Tianyuan had discovered his escape plan and was persistent, and despite his brutality, Li Tianyuan was very loyal, Qin Feng decided to teach him some basic skills.

"I'll be out in a little over a year. Why would I need to jump over that wall?"

Li Tianyuan rolled his eyes but became excited at the thought of having martial arts skills. He began to plan in his mind, determined to teach Nie Yuanlong a lesson after his release.

Thinking of this, Li Tianyuan immediately looked up, searching for Nie Yuanlong in the crowd. The guy was getting out tomorrow, which made Li Tianyuan, who had been sentenced to an extra year and a half for the same case, very resentful.

In the last group fight, Li Tianyuan knew Nie Yuanlong had set him up, so he rushed to Nie Yuanlong and punched him hard. However, he suffered more, and now he wanted to find an excuse to beat Nie Yuanlong again.

"Damn, he got lucky."

After searching the crowd for a while, Li Tianyuan didn't see Nie Yuanlong and cursed under his breath. He then followed the others to the cafeteria.

However, Li Tianyuan didn't notice that a pair of sinister eyes had been watching him from the crowd. Every time Li Tianyuan's gaze swept over, Nie Yuanlong would hide behind someone else.

"Qin Feng, you're still growing. Eat more!"

After arriving at the prisoner's cafeteria, Li Tianyuan habitually collected the eggs from his cellmates' plates and, after looking at Qin Feng, quickly placed two eggs on his plate before sitting behind him.

Since the release of that juvenile delinquent film, the attention to juvenile delinquents had increased significantly. In addition to meat, they received an egg every three days for dinner.

Of course, ordinary juveniles wouldn't get to eat them. Every meal, they had to give the meat to the cell leader, let alone the eggs they got every three days.

"Ah? Okay."

Qin Feng, who was lost in thought, nodded without refusing. His mind wasn't on the food. Since yesterday, he had been guessing which guard had been kind enough to let him return.

Until he found the answer, Qin Feng wouldn't be at ease. From morning exercises to dinner, his gaze had been wandering among the guards.

After a day of deep thought, Qin Feng still couldn't figure it out. He could only focus on the steamed bun and started eating it in large bites, as if to vent his frustration. If it weren't for that person yesterday, he would have long escaped from this place.

"Hmm? What's wrong with this guy? He seems a bit strange!"

While peeling an egg, Qin Feng suddenly noticed a teenager walking towards him. However, the teenager's right hand wasn't holding a food tray but was behind his back, and he looked very nervous.

Since the age of seven, Qin Feng's environment had been filled with ridicule and contempt. He had an extraordinary sensitivity to others' hostility.

At that moment, Qin Feng felt that the teenager's muscles were tense. He hadn't learned to hide his emotions and suddenly sped up when he was about three to four meters away from Qin Feng.

"Is he coming for me?"

Qin Feng's first reaction was that the person was targeting him. But just as he raised his hand, he realized the person had already passed his table.

The teenager's right hand, which had been behind his back, was now out, tightly gripping a sharpened chopstick.

"He's after Li Tianyuan!"

Several thoughts flashed through Qin Feng's mind in an instant. Although he didn't particularly like Li Tianyuan, he instinctively extended his right foot, tripping the teenager.

The teenager, full of murderous intent, was focused on Li Tianyuan and didn't notice the extra leg. He stumbled and fell towards Li Tianyuan.

When a person loses balance, they instinctively stretch out their hands. The teenager was no exception. As he fell forward, his right hand involuntarily pressed on the table.

"Snap!" The sharpened chopstick hit the table and couldn't bear the weight, breaking in half.

"What are you trying to do?"

Li Tianyuan, less alert than Qin Feng, only looked up when the teenager lunged forward. When he saw the chopstick, his face changed dramatically.

The teenager, not knowing why he had tripped, saw the broken chopstick and, taking advantage of the momentum, lunged towards Li Tianyuan's chest.

Although Li Tianyuan didn't like to think much, he had extensive fighting experience from his early teens. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he kicked forward with his right foot, causing his body and chair to fall backward.

"Guard, he's trying to kill me!"

Li Tianyuan, who was lying on the ground, kicked the teenager's abdomen and shouted loudly. He could feel that the other person really wanted to take his life.

This shout immediately caused a commotion in the cafeteria. Several guards quickly rushed over and pinned the teenager to the ground.

"Guard, he... he tried to kill me!"

Li Tianyuan pointed at the broken chopstick on the ground, his face pale. No matter how tough he was, he was still just a sixteen-year-old boy and felt fear when faced with death.

The teenager shouted, "I didn't. I tripped and accidentally hit him."

"Zhou Xiaoming, what were you trying to do? What's with the chopstick?"

The guard was also sweating coldly. Society paid close attention to juvenile delinquents, and if anything happened, they might not be able to bear the responsibility.

"I don't know. The chopstick was like this when I got it."

The teenager's mouth was very tough, but when he looked up, his eyes glanced towards a direction in the crowd.

Nie Yuanlong, hiding in the crowd, cursed in his heart, "Damn, useless. You can't even do this right!"

Nie Yuanlong came from a wealthy family and was among the first to become rich in 1993. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so his friends were mostly from wealthy families.

Nie Yuanlong didn't mix in society for money but was influenced by Hong Kong and Taiwan gangster movies. They thought being feared was a matter of face.

However, Nie Yuanlong, who had grown up in luxury, never expected to suffer such a loss. Not only did his best friend die at the hands of Li Tianyuan's people, but he himself was also imprisoned.

This made Nie Yuanlong hate Li Tianyuan to the bone. In the year and a half in prison, they had many conflicts, but Nie Yuanlong's fighting skills were too low, and he couldn't do anything to Li Tianyuan.

Seeing that he was about to be released, Nie Yuanlong's desire for revenge grew stronger. After thinking for several days, he came up with a plan.

Before his imprisonment, Nie Yuanlong had watched a movie called "Prison Storm," which featured a scene of killing with a chopstick. He decided to use this method.

As for the chopstick, Nie Yuanlong had secretly sharpened it in his cell. He originally wanted to do it himself, but the rich kid who had only bullied others didn't have the courage.

These juvenile delinquents, though criminals, were just children. After Nie Yuanlong's persuasion, a teenager agreed to do it, leading to the scene just now.

Seeing the teenager insist it was a slip, Nie Yuanlong breathed a sigh of relief. If he were implicated, he wouldn't be able to leave tomorrow.

"Everyone, eat quietly. After finishing, go back to your cells. No outdoor activities today!"

The warden, Hu Dazhang, roared, making all the teenagers lower their heads. This old man was not to be trifled with. If he was in a bad mood, he might make them run fifty laps around the playground.

"Qin Feng, thank you..."

After the teenager was taken away by the guards, Li Tianyuan, standing beside Qin Feng, whispered, knowing that the fall wasn't accidental.

"Damn, how did you cause trouble again? One day in solitary confinement!"

Hu Baoguo, still angry, had good hearing. He glared at Li Tianyuan, completely ignoring that he was the victim. In his mind, it takes two to tango, and Li Tianyuan was never a good person.
