Chapter 179: Full of Rebellious Bones, He Can Be Replaced

【Furthermore, the Executive Government announced a city expansion plan this morning. The plan aims to expand the city's living space while expanding and developing the Shi Liao Qu, laying a solid foundation for the future reoccupation and utilization of the Yi Ji Qu.】

【It is understood that this plan was actively advocated and promoted by Councilor Wang Xinfā, demonstrating the Executive Government's deep consideration and long-term planning for the city's future development.】

【In the field of science and culture, Hongguang Pharmaceutical Company is scheduled to hold a high-standard academic exchange next week.】

【This event not only gathered many well-known scholars and professors from our district, but also had the honor of inviting Mr. Zuo Bai, Chief Star Scientist of Eternal Life Technology Biological Co., Ltd. of Liu Qu, to attend in person to share the latest research results and academic insights.】

【……】

【The above is a summary report of this city's news. If you wish to learn more exciting content, please follow our subsequent reports, and we will continue to bring you the latest information.】

In the radio, that magnetic male voice echoed gently within the carriage like a lingering melody.

If Feng Mu were accustomed to listening to broadcast stations on weekdays, he might easily recognize this familiar voice—it was surprisingly similar to the announcer's voice in the recently popular Ghost Story Radio program.

Accompanied by the news broadcast, the towering walls of the Second Prison in the distance gradually came into Feng Mu's view.

"Here is the granary for my Nei Xin evolution!" A light of coldness and fervor intertwined appeared in Feng Mu's eyes, and he muttered in his heart, "I'm here!"

…….

Second Prison, Warden's Office.

Feng Mu stood beside Li Bashan, a hint of astonishment in his gaze as he stared at the heavy glass wall, gaining an initial yet extremely profound understanding of the Warden's character.

This blast-proof nano glass wall, thickened by three full layers, was more direct and powerful than any verbal self-introduction.

Because when people introduce themselves, they unconsciously add a touch of beautification or some concealment, but this glass wall would not.

It was pure and flawless, able to completely and transparently reflect a person's essence, leaving nothing hidden.

Before this wall, no disguise could escape detection, and Feng Mu immediately felt the Warden Qian Huan's undeniable caution and fear of death.

"As the highest official of a prison, how can you be so afraid of death? Your fear of death puts me in a difficult position."

Feng Mu sighed inwardly. Although he had not yet officially completed his new employee procedures, he had already begun plotting how to kill the Warden in the future.

Do not misunderstand; Feng Mu had no personal grudge against Qian Huan whatsoever; he simply coveted the position beneath the Warden's buttocks.

Translated into words everyone understood in his previous life—he could take his place!

As for how to take his place, it only required two steps: first, kill the other party; second, take the vacant seat.

Of course, before that, Feng Mu needed to first kill the Squad Leader above him, kill the District Chief, then kill the Zone Chief, before he could challenge the final boss Warden.

But the process was the same, nothing more than repeating a few times. This was the bright Great Dao for those without background, new employees, to achieve the fastest promotion.

While Feng Mu was sizing up Qian Huan, Qian Huan merely glanced at Feng Mu lightly, then withdrew his gaze and turned to Li Bashan.

In Qian Huan's eyes, the label on Feng Mu was nothing more than "Li Bashan's Junior Brother," a chip he used to win over Li Bashan to deal with Zhou Hu.

Qian Huan did not care about Feng Mu at all; indeed, deep in his heart he had already vaguely regarded Feng Mu as a dead man. How could he have expected that the newcomer before him was full of rebellious bones and had likewise slapped a "dead man" label on him?

"Bashan, the new employee procedures have been approved by me. Later, you can take him to report at No. 1 Prison District." Qian Huan said in a gentle tone.

Li Bashan had an expressionless face and spoke in a muffled voice: "Please have the Warden assign Feng Mu to B Division under my jurisdiction in No. 1 Prison District."

Qian Huan pondered for a moment, feigning difficulty: "Bashan, regarding this matter, I'm afraid you need to communicate with Zhou Hu. I cannot interfere across levels in the internal personnel arrangements of No. 1 Prison District; that would be breaking the rules."

Before Li Bashan could retort, Qian Huan sighed again: "I want to reform the system of the Second Prison, but steps must be taken one by one. We cannot be too hasty, lest we cause turmoil in the prison. Bashan, you must understand my difficulties."

Li Bashan frowned. He could sense Qian Huan was not lying, but also keenly smelled a stench emanating from every pore of the other man.

Feng Mu did not let Li Bashan offend the Warden's dignity. He was very sensible and interjected:

"Warden, please do not be angry. My Senior Brother is merely worried that I, a newcomer, am unaccustomed to prison work. However, please rest assured; I am fully psychologically prepared for prison work and am willing to follow the prison's arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Qian Huan turned his gaze to Feng Mu, examined him carefully, and smiled gently, speaking in an amiable and approachable manner:

"Very well. Go report to your post with peace of mind and begin your work. If you encounter any difficulties in your work in the future that you truly cannot solve, you can come to me to report."

Seeing his Junior Brother had his own ideas, Li Bashan relaxed his brow and took him to report at No. 1 Prison District.

As the specially replaced metal door slowly closed with a dull bang, Qian Huan slowly reached out and lightly touched the fine cold sweat at the back of his neck, his expression serious and gloomy.

He muttered in a low voice, his tone confused:

"How strange. I have already added three layers of blast-proof glass walls in the office, but after talking with Li Bashan, I still feel a chill rising from my spine. That spine-chilling sense of danger seems even stronger than the previous two times."

Qian Huan had possessed an intuition unusually sensitive to danger since childhood. This intuition was the key reason why, despite being extremely afraid of death, he ultimately chose to obey his family's arrangement and transfer to work at the Second Prison, the most special prison in Nine Districts.

Qian Huan looked at the blast-proof glass wall nearly as thick as a palm and temporarily shelved the idea of continuing to thicken it; doing so would be too embarrassing.

Afterwards, he picked up the phone on the office desk, steadily dialed the landline, and calmly instructed:

"Notify the Guard Department. Have them contact the blast-proof glass supplier and arrange for after-sales technical personnel to come for a comprehensive inspection. I need to confirm whether this batch of glass has any quality issues or failed products."

There was silence on the other end of the line. Just as Qian Huan suspected the phone was malfunctioning, a voice devoid of the will to live finally came through: "Yes, Warden."

Qian Huan frowned slightly, dissatisfied with the phone's delay. He continued:

"The call delay is too severe. This obviously does not meet rescue criteria—ah, no, work requirements. Have someone replace this landline with a new one."

The other end of the phone: "....."

Qian Huan gently hung up the phone. Immediately, his peripheral vision inadvertently swept over a new employee resume on the desktop.

He glanced at Feng Mu's one-inch photo and sighed: "This photo is taken quite well, but unfortunately, it looks like a custom-made posthumous portrait."

While sighing, Qian Huan casually put the resume away and threw it into the drawer.

"Alas, with Zhou Hu's vengeful nature and his liking to vent anger on others, I bet you probably won't survive a week. Mmm... Zhou Hu, Zhou Hu, I've sent you the person. You must not disappoint me."
