Chapter 44

"Qin Feng, come out!"

Two months later, on a clear morning, the thick iron door of the detention cell was pulled open from the outside. Li Fan stood at the door, looking at Qin Feng, who was saying goodbye to his cellmates, with a somewhat complicated expression.

Although Li Fan was very dissatisfied with the arrangements the warden had made for Qin Feng, he had to admit that Qin Feng had performed exceptionally well during his more than three years in the reformatory.

During these three years, Qin Feng not only learned to play the piano but also scored high marks in the mock college entrance exams held in the reformatory. If these scores were achieved outside, they would be more than enough to get into a top university.

If it weren't for Hu Baoguo's suppression, Qin Feng's performance in the reformatory could have been used as a model for the reform of juvenile delinquents and promoted nationwide.

Even so, the several commendations Qin Feng received in the provincial prison system helped Li Fan get promoted from squad leader to major. In a way, he owed Qin Feng a debt of gratitude.

"Major, good morning!" Qin Feng stood in front of Li Fan with a smile.

The image of the naive teenager from three years ago was long gone. Now, at seventeen, Qin Feng had grown to 1.8 meters tall, and the composure in his eyes made him look even older.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Fan always found it hard to see him as a teenager. Sometimes, the gaze in Qin Feng's eyes was like that of an old man who had seen through the world, exuding an indescribable depth.

For Qin Feng, Li Fan could only give him the evaluation of a genius. If he had grown up in an ordinary family, he would surely be a pride of many people now.

"Follow me, pack up your things!"

Li Fan patted Qin Feng's shoulder and turned to lead him out of the detention cell. When a prisoner's sentence was completed, there were still some procedures to be handled, including the items they had before entering the reformatory.

"Check it, is anything missing?"

On the desk in the reformatory's duty room, there was a plastic bag containing over a thousand yuan and a few old clothes. This was all Qin Feng had when he entered the reformatory.

"Nothing is missing, thank you, Major." Qin Feng glanced at the plastic bag, shook his head, and bowed deeply to Li Fan.

Although Qin Feng didn't know why Li Fan had been hostile when he first entered the reformatory, he was very good at learning from others' strengths.

Over the years, through interactions with Li Fan, Qin Feng had also gained a deep understanding of psychology. He had read all the psychology books on Li Fan's desk.

In fact, the knowledge that Zai Shi had imparted to Qin Feng was closely related to psychology, much like the thousand-door scam, which exploited people's greed for small gains.

However, Zai Shi taught practical skills, while Qin Feng learned more systematic theories from Li Fan. Combining both, Qin Feng's expertise in studying human psychology was not much inferior to Li Fan's.

"That's good, pack up and get ready to go."

Li Fan nodded and said, "Qin Feng, you are not inherently bad, but in the future, don't act impulsively. Think about how your momentary impulse led to three years in prison. Was it worth it?"

Although Li Fan had never been able to fully understand Qin Feng over the past three years, he could sense that Qin Feng was not a stubborn person. Instead, he had a very broad-minded personality.

As a correctional officer, Li Fan was different from those in society who looked at reformed individuals with prejudice. He believed that if Qin Feng stayed on the right path, he would surely achieve something in the future.

Of course, if Qin Feng chose to be evil, he would undoubtedly become a ruthless and cunning leader. This could be seen from the fact that he had dared to kill five adults when he was only thirteen or fourteen.

"Yes, Major, I will never do anything illegal again."

Qin Feng casually picked up the plastic bag, changed his clothes, and then hesitated, saying, "Major, I want to ask, can I get back the gun head I used for self-defense?"

The gun head was a gift from Liu Zimo, and Qin Feng knew its value, which is why he felt guilty towards Liu Zimo. If possible, he wanted to return it to the Liu family.

"That's a weapon, it was confiscated by the police long ago. Why are you still thinking about it?"

Li Fan glared and lightly hit Qin Feng on the head. After years of being a correctional officer, even the highly educated Li Fan's temper wasn't as good as before.

"Cough, Major, can't I just not ask?"

Qin Feng coughed and wisely didn't pursue the topic, but he was thinking about whether he should return to Cangzhou to steal the gun head back.

To be honest, before entering the reformatory, Qin Feng was still young and lacked a full understanding of society. He didn't have the same fear of the law that adults do.

Now, although Qin Feng's values are well-formed, he has learned from Zai Shi how to avoid breaking the law and is well-versed in legal knowledge. He knows very well what he can and cannot do.

"Don't come back here again."

As they crossed the playground, Li Fan said this with a bitter smile. At Qin Feng's current age, if he committed another crime, he would end up in prison, not a reformatory.

"Brother Feng, take care!"

"Boss Qin, don't forget us when you're out!"

"Brother Feng, I'll follow you when I get out!"

The young men on the playground, seeing Qin Feng, couldn't help but become agitated, calling out to him. If not for the presence of the correctional officers, they would have run out of line to see him off.

In this reformatory, Qin Feng was a well-known figure.

First, he had the longest time in the reformatory, and second, although Qin Feng was not talkative and did not like to provoke trouble, several young men who had challenged him in the past had mysteriously been beaten up and dared not speak out.

Moreover, Qin Feng had a good relationship with the correctional officers. Over time, his reputation in the reformatory grew, and even the most rebellious young men were obedient in front of him.

"You have quite a good reputation!" Li Fan glanced at Qin Feng, leading him through the playground, out of the iron gate, and out of the sight of the others.

Showing the release certificate to the guard at the gate, Li Fan patted Qin Feng's shoulder and said, "Go on, don't act impulsively in the future. Come and see me when you have time!"

Li Fan wasn't very worried about Qin Feng's life after release because, when they reached the guard post, he had already seen Hu Baoguo waiting outside.

This warden had never hidden his favoritism towards Qin Feng, and Li Fan believed that Hu Baoguo had already arranged Qin Feng's future path.
