Chapter 330: Chaos Is the Ladder

Like a carefully arranged table, at first only a few empty plates were set upon it, with an exquisite menu spread open in the center, drawing the curious gazes of a stray guest or two.

The host mistakenly thought they had taken their seats, but they were merely standing by the table, holding empty wine glasses, wearing false smiles, and had not truly sat down.

Only when a clamor of urging came from outside did the host suddenly realize, setting down the dishes he had been slowly preparing.

It was then that the guests slowly straightened their napkins, sat down, and officially took their seats.

As they lightly clinked glasses, they tasted this bloody cold meal, revealing their true smiles, and began discussing the various items on the menu with the host.

The host likewise grinned, attentively serving the guests while gently placing that pair of blood-stained chopsticks in a corner of the table.

Thus, this feast was truly underway; even though the main course still needed cooking, host and guests were thoroughly pleased.

A final friendly reminder:

Please do not disturb others' dining.

It is very obvious that many people do not understand this principle, and their initial assumption was not entirely wrong.

Because they did not know that the new menu of the Octagonal Cage Beast Arena had been published.

Protecting food is an unspoken dining etiquette among the guests.

Zhou Hu did not know this principle, so he had someone kidnap Ma Xuan's doll and made a redundant move.

Zhao Xing knew nothing of the menu's existence; he continued according to the original plan, inciting the families of the deceased prison guards to cry and make a scene before the Executive Government.

The young constable Chen Yang of the Patrol Bureau turned a deaf ear to his seniors' advice.

He recovered a suicide note from Gong Lao's mailbox and impatiently released a case announcement to the public, completely unaware that there was another suicide note beneath the suicide note.

Theoretically, Chen Yang did not have the permission to release a case announcement; he was merely an ordinary constable.

According to regulations, such an announcement must be at the level of Li Shang or Feng Ju to comply with protocol.

Unfortunately, Feng Ju and Li Shang were both occupied with urgent matters and not in the bureau; the Special Commissioner was in the bureau, but he was too lazy to manage such trivialities.

There were basically few people left in the bureau now, a state of "no tigers in the mountains, and even monkeys are few," with timing, location, and harmony all creating excellent conditions for Chen Yang.

Thanks to the leak from 【Old Tree at the Grave】, the riot incident at the Second Prison quickly heated up on the internet, drawing widespread attention.

Chen Yang used the Patrol Bureau's official website; as soon as the "suicide note content" was posted online, it immediately attracted the attention of some reporters.

At this moment, he was being surrounded by a group of reporters at the gate of the Patrol Bureau, the reporters thrusting microphones into his face one after another, urgently asking:

"May I ask, was Gong Lao a prison guard of the Second Prison, and has he unfortunately passed away? Is the suicide note he left behind true?"

"Was Gong Lao's death a suicide, or is there something hidden?"

"Gong Lao accused Prison Warden Qian Huan of various improper conduct in his suicide note; are these accusations true? What stance does the Patrol Bureau take on this?"

Facing such a scene for the first time, and one he had cooked up himself, Chen Yang felt his breathing quicken, his clenched fists trembling slightly, a hint of panic in his eyes, but more so an irrepressible ambition.

"Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back; I have no retreat. If I do not want to have this uniform stripped off by the angry Captain afterward, I must cling tightly to the issue of the Second Prison, cling to Feng Mu, cling to Qian Huan and not let go."

"I need to show my value before the camera, use this case to make myself enter the sight of those big shots, thereby gaining promotion, gaining the ladder upward."

Chen Yang's lips were tense, deep within his heart he gave himself a final pep talk,

"Regulations are meant to be broken; as long as I succeed, there will only be flowers and applause afterward."

"Rules are meant to be broken; as long as I succeed, only flowers and applause will welcome me."

Chen Yang's mindset is actually not hard to understand; young people are unwilling to stick to old rules, longing to quickly stand out, not wanting to be merely a mechanical repeater, wanting to make their own voices heard, they must dare to gamble once.

Gamble on their future, or gamble on a life!

Chen Yang deliberately coughed once; that voice passed through the microphone, emitting a harsh resonance, instantly quieting the surroundings.

Everyone stopped moving, held their breath, and waited with full attention for his next words.

What lay before his eyes were faces with ears pricked up, fully focused, and those constantly flashing dazzling flashlights.

This feeling was truly wonderful, especially for young people, like a beautiful poppy infinitely amplifying their senses, their courage.

Chen Yang slightly opened his mouth; his voice initially carried a barely perceptible tremor, but as his speech progressed, his voice gradually became loud and firm:

"The suicide note on the Patrol Bureau's official website was uploaded and released by me; the suicide note was discovered through technical means in Gong Lao's computer, a letter sent to the upper levels of the Prison System."

"Yes, it was a suicide note full of confession, but also a letter of denunciation exposing the crimes of Second Prison Warden Qian Huan."

"I firmly believe that the high-level officials of the Prison System have already received and read this letter; they must have already begun investigating the deep-rooted causes of the Second Prison riot."

"Regarding the riot incident that occurred in the Second Prison, our Patrol Bureau feels deep grief and indignation, but due to differences in jurisdiction, we currently remain silent on this matter and make no comment."

Chen Yang paused for a moment, speaking with righteous words:

"But I personally believe that the high-level officials of the Prison System will give the public a satisfactory explanation; at the same time, I will continue to follow the progress of this incident."

"I am Chen Yang, an ordinary constable of the Patrol Bureau."

"Now, what I want to report to everyone is the latest investigation progress on the Gong Lao death case……"

It must be said, although it was his first time facing the camera, Chen Yang performed quite well; whether in the rhythm of his speech or the content, he displayed excellent talent and ability.

He really just lacked an opportunity; if he could be appreciated by big shots afterward, perhaps he could truly rely on his ability to carve out a bright future.

If, he doesn't die!

Chen Yang felt he would not die; he felt that chaos is a ladder, so he said decisively to the camera:

"Gong Lao was a prison guard in the dead security zone of the Second Prison; he died outside the prison, in his own home, in a miserable state.

And according to the clues I have already grasped, Gong Lao absolutely did not die by suicide, but by homicide!!!"

Chen Yang's expression was serious, speaking word by word in a fierce voice:

"……"

ps: Again had word count swallowed by consecutive censorship modifications, and it happened twice in a row, I think I didn't violate any rules!!!
