Deputy Warden Prisson

Seeing the message Gu Ding sent, Rose was a little disbelieving. She immediately called Kaviel's communicator.

As soon as the communicator rang, Kaviel immediately answered, "Sister Rose, what's wrong?"

"Did that guy Kane escape?" Rose asked directly.

Kane took the communicator, "Sister, it's me..."

"You really escaped?" Hearing Kane's voice, Rose was stunned.

"I don't know why, but the prison system had a serious malfunction. That kid Gu Ding took the opportunity to get me out," Kane said with a hearty laugh.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two hung up the communicator.

Only then did Rose realize that everything Gu Ding said was true. At the same time, she was also a little confused. The system malfunction at Deep Sea Star Prison happening at this time was too coincidental. She had watched Gu Ding grow up since he was a child and really didn't know when Gu Ding had acquired the skill of hacking.

Rose immediately sent a message to Gu Ding, "Rose Tavern is reopening tonight. Come back to work. If you're late, your salary for this month will be halved!"

When it was time for the night shift, Gu Ding returned to the Rose Tavern as if nothing had happened. At the entrance of the tavern, although there weren't as many people coming and going as usual, the lively atmosphere inside the tavern could be heard from afar.

Gu Ding stepped into the tavern. Aunt "Rose" and the others were already sitting in a circle, raising their glasses to celebrate something. Seeing Gu Ding push the door open and enter, Rose waved at Gu Ding, leaving an empty seat to her left.

Gu Ding looked around and saw that there was only that one empty seat. He braced himself and sat down.

Batengde the bartender handed him a glass of Mirka. Normally, if Aunt "Rose" saw someone ordering this non-alcoholic drink in her tavern, she would curse them as a "sissy." But today, unexpectedly, she didn't say anything. She just smiled and raised her own glass, "To celebrate little Kane's successful escape from Deep Sea Star Prison. Everyone drink to your heart's content tonight. All drinks will be charged to Kane's account, and he'll have to pay it all back to me next year, principal and interest."

Everyone happily raised their glasses. Besides the staff of the Rose Tavern, there were also some outsiders in the tavern. As for what Gu Ding had done, it was enough for them to know internally. If outsiders knew, it would only bring trouble to Gu Ding, so no one in the tavern mentioned it.

The joyful party continued until the early hours of the morning before all the guests were sent off. Aunt "Rose," who had drunk an unknown number of barrels of wine, still didn't show the slightest sign of drunkenness. She filled everyone's glasses again and raised hers towards Gu Ding, "Kane told me everything about his situation. I, Rose Gingier, thank you on behalf of my brothers!"

The other staff members of the Rose Tavern also raised their glasses high.

Gu Ding just grinned, said nothing, and tilted his head back, pouring the glass of Mirka down his throat.

The others in the Rose Tavern also smiled and poured the strong liquor down their throats.

Without the control of the Sea Emperor, the prison system in the Tianhe Star Region quickly returned to normal, and the virus was brought under control after a few hours.

What Gu Ding didn't know was that this incident of the Tianhe Prison virus intrusion and system malfunction not only caused a strong reaction from the Tianhe Prison Headquarters but also received high attention from the Federal Government.

More than eighty percent of the escaped criminals were recaptured in less than a day. On Deep Sea Star, the two escaped criminals that Gu Ding had seen earlier were also recaptured. Deep Sea Star counted the number of uncaptured escapees, and there were still three. The most famous among them was undoubtedly the Interstellar Pirate Cain, who had been sentenced to death and had a bounty of over 300 million.

The next afternoon, the system malfunction and virus on Lan Wo Star were finally completely dealt with. Prisson really had no intention of staying on this planet any longer. He already knew about the same problems occurring in other branches and also knew that his arch-enemy Kane had successfully escaped from Deep Sea Star. Reluctantly, he took an interstellar transfer to Deep Sea Star, wanting to find out what had happened.

Late at night, the moonlight on Deep Sea Star was slightly cool.

In the interrogation room of Deep Sea Star Prison, the painful screams and pleas for mercy had been going on for most of the night. After interrogating the last recaptured prisoner, Prisson, with a face full of rough features, pushed the door open and came out.

Two prison guards dragged out a prisoner from inside. The person had been tortured beyond recognition. The fingers of both hands had been broken into more than twenty sections, and not a single fingernail was intact. On his bare upper body, there were more than ten burn marks on the surface of the skin left by strong electric shocks. And from his pants came a foul, fishy smell, with faint wet marks, clearly indicating that he had been tortured to the point of incontinence.

After leaving the interrogation room, Prisson called the communicator of the Deep Sea Star Prison Warden. As the Deputy Warden of the Headquarters, he had direct jurisdiction over these branch prison wardens.

At 3:30 in the morning, Old Henry, who was in a deep sleep, was woken up by the sound of the communicator. As the Warden of Deep Sea Star Prison, he was a prominent figure on Deep Sea Star. The prison system being attacked by a virus and completely malfunctioning had troubled him all day, and he had been busy until almost midnight before he got home.

He had only been lying down for a few hours when someone came to disturb his sleep. He picked up the communicator with some impatience. He pressed the answer button, ready to curse, but heard Prisson's voice from the other end. He quickly covered his mouth, and a little cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

Prisson was the Deputy Warden of the Headquarters, his direct superior in the branch, and most importantly, he held a grudge.

Old Henry had been working in the Tianhe Prison for over thirty years and had some understanding of Prisson. Seven or eight years ago, when he went to the Headquarters for a meeting, a new branch warden saw Prisson's comical appearance for the first time and couldn't help but laugh. Within less than a month, that warden was not only dismissed but also had a large amount of incriminating evidence collected against him and was sent by Prisson to the sex crime section of the Tianhe Prison Headquarters under the charge of corruption and bribery. That warden couldn't bear being abused in prison and committed suicide within a week.

"I heard you recruited an intern named Gu Ding the day before yesterday?" Prisson's voice was somewhat cold.

"An intern?" Old Henry was taken aback for a moment, but then immediately remembered that there was indeed such a thing. "Oh, I remember now. He's a graduating student from the Basic Military Academy. I've seen his resume, it's excellent."

"I want all his information," Prisson's voice remained cold.

"Now... now?" He glanced at the time displayed on the wall clock in the room, three forty-one in the morning, and asked somewhat reluctantly.

"Are you planning to make me wait another five hours and nineteen minutes?" The questioning tone made Prisson's voice even colder.

Old Henry shivered. "I'll be right there!"

"Who is it? So late?" Old Henry's movements getting out of bed woke up his wife.

"Something came up at the prison temporarily, I'm going out for a bit." Old Henry forced a smile, quickly put on his clothes, leaned down and kissed his wife's forehead, and left quickly.

When Old Henry arrived at his office, Prisson was already sitting in his chair, his legs resting on the desk. In his hand was a photo of Old Henry and his wife.

Old Henry frowned slightly. "The resume is in the bottom drawer."

He walked to the desk and pressed his fingerprint on the desktop identification system. After the system confirmed it, the drawer automatically unlocked. He took Gu Ding's resume out of the drawer and handed it to Prisson. "Is there something wrong with this kid?"

Prisson ignored Old Henry's question, put down the photo frame, picked up Gu Ding's resume, and started flipping through it. After a moment, he slightly narrowed his eyes, which were already only the size of green beans. "Rose Tavern? Who runs it?"

"It's Rose Gingier and her subordinates," Old Henry did not hide anything.

"Rose Gingier of the Rose Pirate Crew? Cain's former boss?" A cold light flashed in Prisson's eyes.

"Yes," Old Henry nodded. "Rose and their bounty warrants are from over thirty years ago. Since their pirate crew disbanded over twenty years ago, the Federal Government also revoked their bounties. They've been staying on Deep Sea Star for the past twenty-odd years, and the Federal Government military has never gone looking for trouble with them."

"Pirates are always pirates, that's something ingrained in their bones." Prisson slammed Gu Ding's resume heavily onto the desk. "Notify the Tianhe branch of the Federal Government. I've found the guy who let Cain go. Tell them to send someone to arrest this kid named Gu Ding after they've had breakfast and send him directly to the Federal Court for interrogation."

(Sigh, the contract was mailed on Friday, and it still hasn't arrived on Monday. The efficiency of Shentong is really worrying~ I don't know when the signing status will change...)
