Old Tom was unconscious in the infirmary on the third floor.

The warden's office was also on the third floor.

The corridor leading west was on the third floor as well.

Those reasons were enough for Qin Ran to return to the third floor of the building—accompanied by prison guard Jack.

In fact, if possible, Qin Ran would not have minded coming alone.

But whenever he thought of the surveillance cameras covering the corridors, Qin Ran frowned.

Even expert-level [Stealth] could not allow him to move freely in and out of this place.

After all, [Stealth] was not invisibility.

Moreover, the warden had clearly made new arrangements in order to catch Old Tom's accomplice.

Two prison guards stood to either side, watching every person who came up to the third floor without a smile, searching for anyone who might be Old Tom's accomplice.

Seeing such arrangements, Qin Ran could not help shaking his head inwardly.

He had absolutely no hope that they would catch Old Tom's accomplice.

Someone capable of arranging the previous chaos, luring out and killing the deputy warden, then silencing witnesses—

That person was bound to be cautious and careful.

Even knowing Old Tom was still alive, they would not rashly appear here.

The same would have been true even without the two prison guards standing there like door gods.

Qin Ran had only come here once, yet the surveillance cameras throughout the third-floor corridor had left a deep impression on him. How could it be any different for someone who had deliberately designed a plan to lure out and kill the deputy warden?

They would definitely use another method!

Qin Ran was extremely certain of that guess.

Even if only for their own safety.

Perhaps Old Tom would keep his secret under the warden's various methods.
