Chapter 168 - 168: Yue Xin ‘s Purpose
Everyone present knew what Leng Chen meant at the end. They all had the intention to watch a good show. Only Yue Xin felt that Leng Chen’s first meaning was to ask if she wanted to die.
Therefore, Yue Xin nodded. “Yes, I want to die. You can even tell that. No wonder you’re their boss. In that case, aren’t you angry that your own people were beaten up? Don’t they all call you boss?”
Yue Xin was not spouting nonsense. Ever since Rennes spoke, she had been observing the expressions of these people. When the gray-haired man came out, everyone’s expressions became serious. There was reverence and even admiration in their eyes, which meant that this group of prisoners did not have a simple class relationship. Based on this, Yue Xin said what she had just said.
Rennes had deliberately diverted the conversation to her and embarrassed her, so she was going to divert it back to Rennes, too. It was called an eye for an eye.
When Leng Chen first heard Yue Xin seriously say that she wanted to die, he thought that there was a mental illness. It was not until Yue Xin finished speaking that he realized Yue Xin’s motive.
He wasn’t stupid. He knew that Yue Xin was fanning the flames. Normally, he wouldn’t care, but today, most of the high-level prisoners in Building 2 were present. If he didn’t stand up for himself, what would the prisoners below think of him? Would there be trouble in the future? Just like now, he could feel the gazes of all the prisoners on him, hoping that he would stand up for the person who was beaten.
In this prison, the person in charge of a building had a status that was higher than the prison guards. If he did not speak today, it would be equivalent to giving up his position to someone else.
Leng Chen laughed at himself. He had been careless and was actually used by a little girl. Even if he was unwilling, he had to point the finger at Rennes at this moment. He said coldly, “Rennes, was that kick comfortable? You have two choices. I’ll cripple you now, or you can immediately send Jeremy to the infirmary and guard him until he wakes up.”
From the moment Rennes saw Leng Chen, his expression was not very good.
Leng Chen never watched the floor battle of Building 2, so he dared to attack. Why was he so unlucky to encounter him today?
Rennes glanced at Yue Xin and planned to use her as a shield. “I still have to send the newcomers to the newbie building…”
Leng Chen said, “I’ll go on your behalf.”
Rennes had no choice but to pick up the person he had just kicked and carry him on his shoulder. He said into the walkie-talkie, “There’s someone injured in Public Area 4. Drive over and pick him up.”
Seeing that Rennes had finished, Leng Chen said to Yue Xin, “Follow me.” After saying that, he grabbed the back of Yue Xin’s collar and carried her away like a kitten.
As he walked, he said, “Newbie, I advise you not to be too arrogant. The protection period is only three months.”
Yue Xin nodded. “I know.”
“There are eight buildings in this godforsaken place. The people in power live on the top floor of each building. Those in power in every building have the right to choose prisoners. Prisoners who have passed the protection period have to show their abilities in the branch building battle. If they are chosen by the person in power, they can go straight to that building. If they are not chosen, they can only be randomly assigned. Usually, the prisoners who are randomly assigned are synonymous with the weak. They have to live the lowest life in prison. If they can win the first place in the branch building battle, they can choose the floor they want to go to.”
Yue Xin didn’t know why Leng Chen was telling her this, but she still replied, “I don’t know all these.”
Leng Chen was dumbfounded, He suddenly felt like he was talking to an alien.
Perhaps Yue Xin’s answer didn’t give Leng Chen any sense of accomplishment.
After that, he didn’t say anything else. It wasn’t until he brought Yue Xin to the Newcomer Building that he looked at Yue Xin and said seriously, “If you participate in the floor battle, come to Building 2. I won’t treat you badly.”
There was no problem with the martial arts value of their building, but they lacked people with brains. He thought that this newcomer was not bad and was bold. She was not afraid of talking to him at all. If she could come to Building No. 2 and increase the intelligence quotient of Building No. 2, the people in Building No. 4 would stop their nonsense.
Yue Xin looked at the badge on Leng Chen’s chest. It was different from the name tag that she had. Hers only bore her name while Leng Chen’s name tag had an ax and chains hanging around it.
Hence, Yue Xin made an evaluation. “Will this chain look better when it’s cut at the edge?”
Leng Chen looked down at the badge and thought about it. It seemed to be true. “Not bad. Do you have any other thoughts? Tell me about it. I’ll go back and get them to change it.”
Yue Xin nodded and continued, “The blood on it will have more tension if it’s made into a convex surface. It’s not obvious now.”
Leng Chen nodded again. He suddenly thought of something and said to Yue
Xin, “Wait a moment.”
Then, he knocked on the cell in the rookie building beside him. After entering and making a sound, he snatched a piece of paper and a pen and returned to Yue Xin. His eyes were filled with sincerity. “Continue..”
