Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: The One Who Saved Xiao Zheng
"What do you mean, just go." Xiao Zheng shrugged and said.
Just as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside, mixed with the voices of several guards. Gangzi looked outside in confusion and his face immediately changed slightly.
"Brother, it’s not good, the fat manager is coming to trouble you." Gangzi said worriedly.
Xiao Zheng smiled without saying anything, just patiently waiting.
Before long, the manager appeared at the door.
He stood there looking at Xiao Zheng with an indifferent expression inside, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Frowning slightly, the manager said, "Xiao Zheng, what did you do before you went to prison?"
When other prisoners came in, they all had detailed files, but Xiao Zheng only had a name. Beyond that, he knew nothing because Xiao Zheng had entered through abnormal means.
"What does that have to do with you?" Xiao Zheng replied coolly.
Oddly, Xiao Zheng’s disdain didn’t anger the manager. In this prison, only fools could remain so calm in front of him until now.
"If you haven’t heard the story of the little dark room, it’s not your fault because you’ll experience it soon." The manager said coldly to Xiao Zheng, then fell silent for a few seconds before speaking again.
He had just called Huo Wenshan, but Huo Wenshan couldn’t say anything clearly.
In fact, Huo Wenshan himself didn’t know what Xiao Zheng’s identity was.
The reason he dealt with Xiao Zheng was simply because Xiao Zheng had approached Xiao Yufei, no more complicated than that.
This made the manager feel even more uneasy.
Just as he finished speaking, a guard suddenly hurried to the manager’s side and whispered something to him.
The manager was suddenly stunned, then his face changed dramatically: "Watch him for me."
After saying this, he turned and ran off in a hurry.
"What about the little dark room?" The guard asked in confusion.
"We’ll talk about it when I get back." The manager threw this sentence over his shoulder and disappeared around the corner.
At the entrance of Qingshan Prison, the guards looked at the black sedans in front of them, trembling uncomfortably.
Because anyone with a sharp eye could see that the license plate of the leading black sedan belonged to the city mayor, Su Jian Country’s official vehicle!
In front of the car stood a middle-aged man with an ashen face, a square jaw, thick brows, and large eyes, exuding a subtle aura that only those long in power could cultivate.
This was Su Jian Country himself.
Next to the mayor were some accompanying subordinates, each too afraid to speak.
"This is the place." Leng Ruobing said, frowning slightly.
Seeing the prison in front of her and thinking of Xiao Zheng being held in such a place, Leng Ruobing’s temper flared up instantly.
At that moment, a military vehicle suddenly rushed over in a hurry.
The man getting out was a middle-aged man about the same age as the mayor, in military uniform. Upon seeing the scene in front of him, the man swallowed nervously with a gulp.
He was the warden of Qingshan Prison. Upon hearing the news that the mayor was coming, he hurried over at once, but only upon arriving did he realize that the seriousness of the situation had far exceeded his expectations upon seeing the mayor’s ashen face.
"Mayor, why are you here?" The warden asked quickly, walking up to the mayor.
Su Jian Country glanced lightly at the warden before asking, "In your prison, has someone named Xiao Zheng been locked up these past few days?"
"Xiao Zheng?" The warden wiped the sweat from his forehead; he didn’t know! He hadn’t been at the prison for this period!
"Uh... I really don’t know." The warden said awkwardly, then turned to shout at a subordinate beside him, "Get the manager over here for me."
The manager had already rushed to the gate by this point, without needing the warden to say much.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he was far more nervous than the warden.
He quickly walked over but before he could speak, he heard the warden bellow, "In these past few days, has someone named Xiao Zheng been locked up?"
Upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s name, the manager’s face went pale, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Yes... Someone by that name was indeed locked up." He stammered, looking ashen.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately realized how serious the matter was. The person called Xiao Zheng had such a remarkable identity that it even alarmed the mayor!
This time, he was truly going to be doomed by that fool Huo Wenshan!
Hearing the manager’s confirmed answer, the warden knew they were in trouble. He was aware of the manager’s usual petty dealings but hadn’t paid much attention, choosing to turn a blind eye.
But he never expected this guy to create such a major disaster!
"Um... Mayor, are you looking for this Xiao Zheng for something?" The warden tentatively asked.
Su Jian Country gave a cold look at the warden, saying icily, "We now suspect you have privately abused your power to imprison innocent people. I want to see Xiao Zheng immediately, okay?"
"Sure, absolutely." The warden quickly agreed, as sweat streamed down his forehead.
At this point, the manager was trembling more violently upon hearing this, having already cursed Huo Wenshan to death in his heart.
This time, helping Huo Wenshan was practically sending himself to the muzzle of a gun!
"What are you dawdling for? Didn’t you hear the Mayor?" The warden shouted loudly at the manager.
The manager dared not delay and hurriedly led his men back into the prison.
Xiao Zheng at the time was chatting idly with Gangzi in prison. Gangzi probably didn’t know anything, but Xiao Zheng had more or less guessed something, waiting patiently.
"Brother, what do you think that fat manager was in such a rush for?" Gangzi asked.
"I don’t know, but I think he’ll be back soon." Xiao Zheng replied with a smile.
"Hey, brother, listen to me, you should apologize to the manager when he gets back, maybe he’ll give you some leniency. That little dark room is really no place for humans." Gangzi advised sincerely.
"No need. If my guess is correct, the manager will be back to invite me out." Xiao Zheng said confidently.
Gangzi was stunned for a moment, sighed and thought Xiao Zheng was joking with him.
But at that moment, the manager really appeared, with several subordinates in tow, looking rushed.
"Oh no, the fat manager really came back. Brother, be careful." Gangzi quickly said to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng’s lips curled slightly, unconcerned, waiting with a smile.
The manager quickly rushed to the cell door and shouted, "Open the door for me!"
