Chapter 252: Octagonal Cage Beast Arena

After a long while, Qian Huan felt a stabbing pain in his heart, only then did he come back to his senses, exhaling a long, turbid breath from his mouth.

He looked at Wang Cong with an exceptionally complex expression, and said in a deep voice:

"The plan sounds pretty good, but in reality, if it were actually carried out, I'm afraid there would be all sorts of resistance issues; it would be nothing short of a pipe dream. First, the impact is too terrible; the Executive Government would never agree, and public opinion wouldn't stand for it either."

Qian Huan's questions hit the bullseye, all falling within Wang Cong's firing range.

Wang Cong didn't even think before preparing to display the correct answers provided by Feng Mu. He said:

"The Executive Government's councilors can be won over or bribed; public opinion can be hoodwinked or guided. In short, every problem can be solved. The specific operation can go like this..."

Qian Huan's face changed, and he could no longer maintain his composure. He coughed once and hurriedly interrupted Wang Cong's words.

He turned his head to look at Shi Wuming and said faintly: "Shi Wuming, trouble you to go out and guard the door for us, prevent anyone from eavesdropping at the door, okay."

Shi Wuming took a deep breath, his gaze scanning Qian Huan with deep resentment, that look seemingly saying:

"Hmph, man, you clearly weren't saying that just now?! Who are you planning to guard against eavesdropping outside, guarding against me?"

Shi Wuming walked out without a word, casually bringing the door shut behind him. His gaze quickly swept across the empty corridor; after confirming no one was around, he turned around and silently pressed his ear against the door.

Inside the door it was exceptionally quiet; not a single word could be heard.

Shi Wuming frowned slightly, gently moving his ear away. His pupils aimed at the door panel, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes.

"???"

Through X-ray vision, Shi Wuming saw a thick layer of added material inside the door; he identified the materials inside as elastic steel and sound-absorbing graphite.

"Come on, you're just a mere Prison Warden, is this really necessary?"

Shi Wuming then thought of the three-layer blast-proof glass inside the room, and was thoroughly speechless: "This person's safety and privacy precautions, aren't they even more excessive than those of the Guangming Group's directors?"

Shi Wuming helplessly closed his electronic eye, having to give up on the idea of eavesdropping, but his heart felt itchy like a cat scratching, very uncomfortable.

He originally wasn't a person with strong curiosity; if he hadn't heard anything at the start, he wouldn't be curious at all. But this feeling of being chased out after hearing half of it really made his heart itch.

Shi Wuming straightened up, took out his phone and secretly composed a long text message to a certain high-level executive of the Guangming Group, sending it off.

——Lu Zong, I'm in Second Prison Qian Huan's office. I accidentally overheard a plan proposed by a prison guard named Wang Cong, called the 【Octagonal Cage Beast Arena】. I feel this plan is extraordinary; you might be interested...

Inside the office.

Qian Huan had already stood up from his seat. He slowly walked to the transparent glass wall, the distance between him and Wang Cong unprecedentedly close, separated merely by the distance of three walls.

Qian Huan's gaze sized Wang Cong up and down. It was a look mixed with surprise and admiration, as if re-evaluating the value of the person before him.

His voice carried unconcealed amazement:

"Wang Cong, I never expected that the 【Octagonal Cage Beast Arena】 plan you proposed would actually be so creative. It is truly staggering."

Qian Huan originally only planned to fight fire with fire; he truly hadn't anticipated that Wang Cong's brain would actually be so invaluable.

Yes, Qian Huan was likewise a smart person; he naturally could see the astonishing value contained in the plan Wang Cong proposed.

And "invaluable" was precisely his most simple and unadorned, yet also most supreme, praise for a brain.

"Your idea has opened my eyes. Good, very good. But how could you tell this plan to an outsider?"

Qian Huan feigned anger, glancing at the door outside with his eyes, then let out a deep sigh.

"Alas, this was my oversight. However, you must remember: from this moment on, regarding any details of this plan, you can only narrate them to me alone. You absolutely must not leak even a shred of it to anyone else. Do you understand?"

Wang Cong sighed inwardly; Qian Huan's reactions had all been predicted by Feng Mu. On the surface, he silently nodded.

Seeing Wang Cong agree so readily, Qian Huan suddenly realized that perhaps Wang Cong hadn't fully understood the profound value contained in the plan he proposed.

"That's right too. He's just a minor prison guard. Even if he has some astonishing ideas, his horizon and pattern are destined such that his perspective focuses on Second Prison. Actually, if this plan is implemented properly..."

Qian Huan's gaze was far-reaching, his heart burning with incomparable longing,

"The energy that can be leveraged would be unimaginably astonishing. Not just one Second Prison; ten, a hundred Second Prisons could be leveraged. Even... perhaps I could use this as a fulcrum to lever the entire Guangming Group in reverse."

Qian Huan congratulated himself in his heart; he was precisely that person with a broad horizon and grand pattern. Once this plan fell into his hands, the influence it could ultimately exert would far exceed Wang Cong's by a hundred times.

Of course, these deep schemes didn't need to be told to Wang Cong. Qian Huan wouldn't shortchange Wang Cong either. After all, there might still be many details in between that would require Wang Cong, as the proposer, to provide solutions and suggestions for.

Qian Huan's gaze fell softly on Wang Cong, and he said sincerely:

"You can rest assured. If this plan can be smoothly implemented, I will naturally take this opportunity to return to the company and be promoted to a higher position. As for the Second Prison Warden's position, I guarantee it will definitely be yours."

Qian Huan paused slightly, then eagerly raised the question:

"Now, let's discuss the specific details of this plan in detail. First, how to handle the prisoners' identities? How do you plan to push them to the front desk?"

A strange sense of familiarity welled up in Wang Cong's heart. On the Prison Warden's face, he saw his former self.

The same eagerness, the same anticipation, the same promises. Hehe—

And the result? I've become an E Corpse!

So what about Qian Huan? What will he become in the future? If he also turns into an E Corpse, would he be grateful to Feng Mu like me?

Wang Cong looked forward to that day's arrival. He replied: "No need to handle the prisoners' identities. Just give them a change of clothes and put masks on them, and that'll do."

Qian Huan's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Wonderful. Such a difficult problem actually only needs the simplest method to solve. Then what about the Executive Government side? How to persuade them?"

Recalling Feng Mu's words at the time, Wang Cong answered as if reciting a memorized answer:

"I heard that during our Second Prison's shareholding reform process, Wang Yiyuan Xinfā contributed quite a lot. Moreover, the issue of prison privatization reform was also advocated and pushed by Wang Yiyuan Xinfā.

So, if we can visit Wang Yiyuan with full sincerity, Wang Yiyuan should be willing to continue deepening the cooperative relationship with Second Prison, right?"

Qian Huan nodded in deep agreement. His impression of the Executive Government's officials wasn't good, but Wang Yiyuan Xinfā was an exception. This person was very open-minded, and his external reputation wasn't bad either.

Most importantly, in private, Wang Yiyuan had a very good relationship with Tian Guang Capital.

Moreover, Mother Li Hanyu had been speaking well of Wang Yiyuan in his ear these past two days. Between the lines, it was revealed that Wang Yiyuan valued loyalty and righteousness. Her being able to smoothly transition and grasp the personnel power of Tian Guang Capital owed no small effort to Wang Yiyuan Xinfā behind the scenes. He was a person worth getting close to and trusting.
