Trying to Fool Me a Second Time?

If Forbidden Item, it can be torn apart by bare hands. It is definitely not Forbidden Item.

Nearly a thousand people competed for a single book, only to end up with nothing but loneliness.

The pages of the torn book fluttered down like petals scattered by a fairy, some landing on the prisoners and causing them to involuntarily read the words on the pages.

Their earnest expressions suggested they were diligently learning about health preservation for middle-aged people, making plans for their future.

The tense and somber atmosphere suddenly turned absurd and comical.

"Can anyone tell me what just happened?" a prisoner asked blankly amidst the chaos.

A prisoner squatted in the crowd and picked up a torn piece of paper from the ground. It read, "Eat more vegetables to effectively prevent constipation in middle-aged and elderly people."

What is all this about?

In this struggle, nearly a thousand people were acting on behalf of the conglomerate, but more than three thousand were completely unaware of the situation.

As the struggle began, they watched as hundreds of people suddenly rushed out from the crowd, as if to seize something very important.

What happened next left them dumbfounded. So the conglomerate had sent hundreds of people to Prison No. 18 just to steal this Middle-aged Health Manual?

Didn't someone just say they wanted to steal the Forbidden Item ACE-002? What are they trying to steal?!

Du Hao and Xie Yingeng, two shrewd businessmen from the conglomerate, suddenly turned to Guo Huzhan: "You dare to play us? Where's the Forbidden Item?"

Facing hundreds of pairs of predatory eyes, Guo Huzhan suddenly looked seriously at the remaining pages in his hand. "Look, the book says that if middle-aged people go bald early, they can supplement their diet with milk, fish, and lean meat... Isn't that more effective than Forbidden Item?"

As he spoke, he moved toward the outside.

Before he could move more than a few steps, the bald, burly man was surrounded again.

"What about the Forbidden Item?" Du Hao said coldly, "If this isn't cleared up today, we're not getting over it!"

Guo Huzhan helplessly threw away the paper and said, "When I ran out of the house, I didn't say that I took the Forbidden Item ACE-002, did I? Could it be that you guys made a mistake?"

Du Hao recalled that Guo Huzhan had indeed not said that the other party was carrying the Forbidden Item ACE-002!

Xie Yingeng said with great distress, "Then why are you covering it up so tightly?!"

"I'm almost middle-aged, is it wrong for me to want to study properly?" Guo Huzhan didn't say a single truth.

"Xu Linsen must have used him to divert everyone's attention and then secretly took the Forbidden Item away," Du Hao analyzed.

"Where is Xu Linsen?" Xie Yingeng couldn't find any trace of Xu Linsen either.

In an instant, everyone slowly approached the bald, burly man, as if they wanted to kill him.

Guo Huzhan said sincerely, "Killing people in Prison No. 18, aren't you afraid of the metal storm overhead? And let me tell you, even I was tricked, do you believe me?"

"What do you mean?" Xie Yingeng frowned. They stopped their approach. It wasn't the final moment yet, so they couldn't trigger the repression mechanism of Prison No. 18 prematurely.

They were waiting for night to fall.

But it's not as simple as just waiting for nightfall. To take action, we need to wait for a signal, otherwise everyone will die.

Du Hao looked at Guo Huzhan: "You're saying you were tricked too?"

"Someone is impersonating my boss," Guo Huzhan said. "Although it was chaotic just now, the only way to enter and exit Prison No. 18 is through these alloy gates. But the gates are still intact and have never been opened. If you say we planned a diversionary tactic, how did he leave? Everyone knows my boss's capabilities; he couldn't possibly leave here quietly."

"Furthermore," Guo Huzhan continued, "My Spade Club has always valued loyalty and righteousness, and Boss Xu is also known for it. Do you think that if that person really is Xu Linsen, they would send me to draw attention and die? If we were really playing a diversionary tactic, the facts should be reversed: he would draw your fire while I quietly leave with the Forbidden Item ACE-002!"

Xie Yingeng cursed and said, "Didn't you notice anything wrong with that guy? Since you knew Xu Linsen wouldn't let you die, why didn't you think of that at the time?"

"I felt something was off at the time," Guo Huzhan said, "But the atmosphere was already set..."

"What the hell is this atmosphere like?" Du Hao cursed angrily.

"I'm fucking angry too, okay?" Guo Huzhan said.

When he remembered that he had actually asked the other person when humans grow hair, he felt incredibly embarrassed!

Just then, the alloy gates in the prison square opened again.

But then they saw a middle-aged prisoner being escorted in by six mechanical prison guards.

Many people were stunned because they recognized the middle-aged man's identity: Chen Yu from the Chen family!

Eleven years ago, Chen Yu committed murder. He could have been acquitted at the time, but the Qing family found evidence to convict him and forced him into prison for 170 years.

These are some of the few conglomerate members imprisoned, who also manage the order within Prison No. 7 for the Chen family, and can be considered as the conglomerate's dirty workmen.

He was also one of the few masters in the Chen family.

Some have said that the Federation is only able to breathe in the cracks because there are five financial groups that check and balance each other, each of which is always trying to destroy the others.

The five conglomerates have permeated the entire society, but as long as there are competitors, they will still be wary of them.

If only one conglomerate remained in the Federation, then federal laws would probably be used by the conglomerate's bigwigs to clean up their messes.

When Chen Yu was brought in, he calmly surveyed his surroundings before stopping at Xie Yingeng. He then casually called out, "Xiao Xie, come here and report the situation."

Chen Yu's expression in prison was as relaxed and carefree as if he were at home, even after being transferred from Prison No. 7 to this prison.

The mechanical prison guard removed the shackles from his hands and feet. The middle-aged man moved his hands and feet, and then he found that Xie Yingeng was standing still and did not come over to wait for orders!

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu frowned. "Don't you recognize me?"

"Shouldn't you be in prison number 7 right now?" Xie Yingeng asked hesitantly.

"Things aren't going well at Prison No. 18 today. Your family was worried you wouldn't be able to handle it, so they sent me to check on things," Chen Yu said calmly.

Guo Huzhan whispered to Xie Yingeng, "That guy who impersonated my boss said the same thing... If I were you, I would pinch his face to keep an eye on him, in case he's wearing a human skin mask."

Just then, someone in the crowd shouted, "He might be a fake too! Be careful!"

As he spoke, Xie Yingeng slowly walked towards Chen Yu, then suddenly reached out to pinch the other's cheek. "Trying to fool me a second time!?"

But Chen Yu calmly raised his right leg and kicked out with lightning speed. Even though Xie Yingeng was prepared, he was still kicked more than 20 meters away!

"Are you tired of living?" Chen Yu sneered.

"Ugh!" Xie Yingeng vomited a mouthful of blood. "It really is Boss Chen! We've made a mistake!"

At this moment, Xie Yingeng felt like cursing his mother. He had suffered twice because of that imposter!

Chen Yu calmly asked, "What exactly happened?"

Du Hao, adding insult to injury, said, "Xie Yingeng followed you in Prison No. 7 for so long, and he still couldn't recognize whether you were being impersonated or not. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand it."

Du Hao served the First Branch of the Li family, while Chen Yu and Xie Yingeng served the third branch of the Chen family. Naturally, he was happy to watch the excitement.

Xie Yingeng hadn't even wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and immediately became furious. "Du Hao, you scoundrel!"

"I think it's your Chen family that's acting like scoundrels," Du Hao sneered. "The Li family's First Branch and the Chen family's third branch agreed not to send top experts, but you broke your promise. Chen Yu should have been escorted to the vicinity long ago, but in order to keep it from my Li family, you only secretly brought him in on this last day before you had to take action."

"No need to be so rude," Chen Yu glanced at him casually, "I'm just here as a precaution, I'm not going to participate in the fight."

Du Hao sneered. These words could only fool ghosts. When it really came down to the last moment, Chen Yu would definitely make his move.

"Tell me what happened first," Chen Yu asked calmly.

Xie Yingeng's subordinate chimed in, explaining, "Just a moment before you came in, someone impersonated Xu Linsen of Spades. The moment they entered, they caused chaos in the prison, and then you walked in. Xie Yingeng probably thought it was another impersonation. Besides, we genuinely didn't know you were coming today..."

"I see. So who was shouting to warn Xie Yingeng to be careful just now?" Chen Yu frowned and looked at the prisoners. "Step forward."

However, they waited for a long time but no one dared to come out. One prisoner said the voice came from beside him, but when he turned around, there was no one there.

Suddenly, everyone wondered if it was the person who impersonated Xu Linsen who shouted it.

"Wait a minute," Guo Huzhan suddenly said, "That person should still be in prison! That warning we just heard was from him hiding in the crowd!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Du Hao shouted, "A reward of 100,000 will be given to anyone who finds a stranger!"

However, after searching for a long time, they found no strangers who had suddenly sneaked in.

Several people did report clues, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

Things started to get weird...

Thousands of people searched high and low, but there wasn't a single stranger in the crowd!

In fact, not only did Du Hao and the others fail to find Qing Chen, they also failed to find Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan!

Just as the farce was unfolding, the two people hiding in the shadows were almost laughing their heads off, but when they finished laughing, they found that Qing Chen was gone.

"Boss, where is Qing Chen?" Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around in the crowd, searching until she was almost blind but still couldn't find him.

Li Shutong calmly pointed in a direction and said, "He changed his appearance to resemble his classmate."

Of everyone present, only this master kept a close eye on his disciple, his eyes never leaving him for a moment.

Lin Xiaoxiao followed the finger and was shocked to find that 'Yu Junyi', who had been transferred to another prison, was standing in the crowd with a bewildered expression.
