Chapter 251: 200, trying to trick me a second time?

A taboo that can be torn apart by bare hands is certainly not a taboo.

Nearly a thousand people competed for a book, only to end up fighting a lonely battle.

The pages of the book that were forcibly torn asunder fluttered down like a celestial maiden scattering blossoms, some landing on the prisoners as they involuntarily recited the text on the pages.

They looked serious, as if earnestly studying midlife health knowledge, planning for their own future lives.

What had been a tense and solemn atmosphere suddenly became absurd and comical.

“Who can tell me what just happened?” amidst the confusion, a prisoner said bewilderedly.

A prisoner squatted among the crowd, picking up a torn and tattered piece of paper from the ground that read ‘Eating more vegetables can effectively prevent constipation in the middle-aged and elderly.’

What does that even mean?

In this struggle, about a thousand people were ordered by the consortium, but over three thousand others were completely unaware.

As the conflict began, they watched as hundreds of people suddenly charged out of the crowd, seeming to seize something very important.

And the very next moment they were dumbstruck, so the consortium arranged for hundreds of people to charge into Prison 18 just to snatch a midlife health manual?

Didn’t someone just emphatically say they were seizing the taboo object ACE-002, what is this even about?!

Du Hao and Xie Yinggeng, these two consortium experts, suddenly turned towards Guo Huchan: “Are you playing us? Where’s the taboo object?”

Faced with hundreds of menacing eyes, Guo Huchan seriously examined the remaining pages in his hand: “Look, the book says if a middle-aged person begins to bald early, they should appropriately supplement with milk, fish, lean meat… Isn’t this more useful than a taboo object?”

While saying this, he slowly moved towards the outside.

He hadn’t moved far when the bald, brawny man was encircled again.

“Where is the taboo object?” Du Hao said coldly, “We can’t let this go unless things are made clear today!”

Guo Huchan helplessly threw away the page: “When I ran out of the house, did I ever say I took the taboo object ACE-002? Could it be that you mistook it yourselves?”

Du Hao recalled for a moment, and indeed, Guo Huchan had never said that what he took was the taboo object ACE-002!

Xie Yinggeng lamented bitterly: “Then why hold onto it so tightly?!”

“I’m freaking approaching middle age myself, can’t I study this properly?” Guo Huchan didn’t tell a single truth.

“It’s definitely Xu Linsen using him to divert everyone’s attention, then sneaking away with the taboo object,” Du Hao analyzed.

“Where is Xu Linsen?” Xie Yinggeng also hadn’t found any trace of Xu Linsen.

For a moment, everyone slowly pressed towards the bald, brawny man, seemingly ready to kill him.

Guo Huchan earnestly said, “Killing someone in Prison 18, aren’t you afraid of the metallic storm overhead? Plus, what if I told you that even I was fooled, would you believe me?”

“What do you mean?” Xie Yinggeng frowned and said, they paused their advancing steps, now really wasn’t the moment to trigger the suppression mechanism of Prison 18.

They were waiting for nightfall.

But it wasn’t just awaiting the nightfall that simply; they needed to wait for a signal to act, otherwise, everyone would die.

Du Hao looked towards Guo Huchan: “You said you were also played?”

“Someone was impersonating my boss,” Guo Huchan said: “Though it was chaotic just now, the only way in and out of Prison 18 is through this alloy gate, which is still intact and never opened. If you say we planned a diversion, how did he leave? Everyone knows my boss’s capabilities; he couldn’t have left here without a trace.”

“Moreover,” Guo Huchan continued: “I, Spade, have always been known for loyalty and righteousness, and so is boss Xu. Do you think if that person really was Xu Linsen, he would have me attract attention to face death? If we really were creating a diversion, it should have been the other way around: he would attract your fire while I quietly left with the taboo object ACE-002!”

Xie Yinggeng cursed and said, “Didn’t you notice anything wrong with him then? Since you know Xu Linsen wouldn’t have you sent to your death, why didn’t you think of this at that moment?”

“I did feel something strange at that time,” Guo Huchan said: “But the atmosphere was so heated…”

“Damn that heated atmosphere,” Du Hao cursed angrily.

“I’m freaking angry too, okay,” Guo Huchan said.

When he remembered that he had even asked the guy when humans began growing hair, he felt utterly embarrassed!

Just then, the courtyard alloy gate of the prison suddenly opened again.

A middle-aged prisoner was being escorted in by six mechanical prison guards.

Many people froze because they recognized the identity of this middle-aged man: Chen Yu of the Chen Family!

Eleven years ago, Chen Yu committed murder. He could have escaped the crime, but the Qing’s Family found evidence that solidified his guilt, and he was forcefully sentenced to 170 years in prison.

This was one of the few consortium members imprisoned; he also managed the order within Prison 7, considered the dirty worker within the consortium.

He was also one of the Chen family’s top experts.

Some have said that the Federation can breathe in the gaps solely because the five consortiums keep each other in check, each constantly seeking to send the others to their graves.

The five consortiums pervaded the entire society, but as long as there were competitors, they remained wary.

If only one consortium remained in the Federation, the federal laws would probably be used by the consortium bigshots to wipe their asses.

Upon being escorted in, Chen Yu first calmly surveyed his surroundings, eventually resting his gaze on Xie Yinggeng, and then casually called out, “Xie, come and report the situation.”

In prison, Chen Yu’s demeanor was as relaxed and comfortable as if he were at home, even though he had just been transferred from Prison 7.

The mechanical prison guard removed the shackles from his wrists and ankles, and the middle-aged man flexed his limbs, only to realize that Xie Yinggeng was standing still, not coming over to await orders!

“What’s the matter,” Chen Yu frowned, “don’t you recognize me?”

“Shouldn’t you be in Prison 7 right now?” Xie Yinggeng hesitated before asking.

“It’s chaotic in Prison 18 today, and the family was worried you couldn’t handle it, so they sent me to check on things,” Chen Yu said indifferently.

Guo Huchan whispered beside Xie Yinggeng, “The person who previously impersonated my boss said the same thing… If I were you, I’d pinch his face to make sure it isn’t a mask.”

Just then, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, “He could be fake too, be careful!”

During the conversation, Xie Yinggeng slowly walked towards Chen Yu and then suddenly reached out to pinch his cheek, “Trying to fool me a second time?”

But Chen Yu calmly lifted his right leg and kicked out like lightning, sending Xie Yinggeng flying over twenty meters despite his preparedness!

“Tired of living?” Chen Yu sneered.

“Ugh!” Xie Yinggeng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, “It really is Boss Chen, I made a mistake, my mistake!”

At that moment, Xie Yinggeng felt furious at himself for being duped twice by the impersonator!

Chen Yu calmly asked, “What exactly is going on?”

Du Hao chimed in mockingly from the side, “You’ve followed him in Prison 7 for so long, and still can’t recognize whether he’s being impersonated, I couldn’t stand it.”

Du Hao served the Big House of the Li family, while Chen Yu and Xie Yinggeng served the Third House of the Chen family; naturally, he was pleased to watch the drama unfold at this time.

Xie Yinggeng had not yet wiped the blood from his mouth when he immediately became furious upon hearing this, “Du Hao, you scoundrel!”

“I see it’s typical of the Chen family to act so lowly,” Du Hao sneered, “the Big House of the Li family and the Third House of the Chen Family agreed not to send top experts, yet you went back on your word. Chen Yu should have been escorted nearby already, but just to deceive my Li family, you secretly moved him in on the day of the operation.”

“No need to speak so harshly,” Chen Yu said nonchalantly, glancing at him, “I only came in just in case, not to get involved in the fight.”

Du Hao scoffed coldly, knowing that such words could only deceive ghosts; Chen Yu would definitely intervene when it truly mattered.

“First, tell me exactly what happened,” Chen Yu asked calmly.

An underling of Xie Yinggeng helped explain, “Just before you came, someone impersonating ‘Spade’ Xu Linsen caused chaos in the prison, and right after that, you came in. Xie Yinggeng probably thought he was impersonating you too. Also, we indeed didn’t know you were coming today…”

“I see, so who was the one who yelled earlier, warning Xie Yinggeng to be careful?” Chen Yu frowned and looked towards the prisoners, “Step forward.”

However, they waited for a long time and no one dared to come forward. One prisoner said the voice came from nearby, but by the time he turned to look, there was no one there.

The crowd began to wonder if it might have been the same person who had impersonated Xu Linsen.

“Wait,” Guo Huchan suddenly said, “that person must still be in the prison! That warning was said by him hiding among the crowd!”

The moment Guo Huchan finished speaking, Du Hao shouted loudly, “Anyone who spots the stranger will be rewarded 100,000!”

However, despite searching for a long time, they found no strange person who had slipped in.

In the meantime, several people reported clues, but it turned out they were all false alarms.

The situation gradually became more sinister…

Thousands searched, yet not a single stranger was found in the crowd?!

In fact, not only had Du Hao and the others not found Qing Chen, even Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan hadn’t spotted him!

During the commotion, both of them had been hiding and were almost laughing themselves sick, but when they finished, they discovered that Qing Chen had disappeared.

“Boss, where’s Qing Chen?” Lin Xiaoxiao searched the crowd until her eyes were nearly blind, but she found no sign of him.

Uncle Li Dong nonchalantly pointed in a direction and said, “He has taken on the appearance of a classmate.”

Among all those present, only this master had been continuously watching his disciple, never taking his eyes off him for a moment.

Following the direction of the hand, Lin Xiaoxiao looked over and was shocked to find ‘Yu Junyi,’ who had been transferred to another prison, standing among the crowd with a confused expression.
