Chapter 1561: If You Run with the Crowd, You'll Have to Pay the Price Sooner or Later

Detention center.

Inside layers of iron gates, three people are locked in the innermost cell.

They are none other than the Big Sister, the fallen woman, and the thief.

The three of them are the culprits who beat Ji Yingjie into a vegetative state!

Now the three of them are blaming each other.

The Big Sister said, "It's all your fault. Who was it good to provoke? You just had to provoke an old lady. That old lady looks fierce on the surface, but she's actually like a paper lantern—one poke and she's broken."

The fallen woman feels great disdain for the Big Sister; she looks down on this simple-minded, brawny woman from the bottom of her heart, but since she cannot beat her, she can only resort to strategy.

Usually, she flatters the Big Sister to the extreme, but not now. Now is not the time for flattery; at least one of the three of them must go out and take the blame, and she is unwilling, wanting to clear her own name.

"Big Sister, you were just too impulsive. If the two of us had tried to persuade you a bit more, it would have been fine. It's also our fault for not stopping you..."

The cell has surveillance, and everything they say will be heard by the people behind the monitors. She cannot let the prison guards discover that she incited the beating, or it will surely be a serious crime.

The thief catches on and immediately chimes in, "That's right, we are to blame for this matter. Let's just treat it as a lesson; we must be careful next time!"

Although the Big Sister is simple-minded, she can tell that these two are setting her up, so she immediately glares, "Cut the crap, you two. Don't think I can't see through your little schemes. Although I was the one who hit her, it was both of you who instigated it."

"At best, I was used; you two are the masterminds! The three of us are three grasshoppers on the same vine; none of you should think about getting yourselves off the hook."

The fallen woman: "Don't talk nonsense, it has nothing to do with me."

The thief: "It has nothing to do with me either, I didn't say anything."

The Big Sister gets anxious and raises her massive fist, wanting to strike, but at this moment the iron gate rings, and another person is sent into the cell!

This person looks ordinary, wears a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, and is thin and small, as if a gust of wind could blow her over!

The Big Sister, who was preparing to strike, has her attention instantly diverted because a newcomer has arrived.

She is the boss, so naturally, she cannot ask personally, so she gives the fallen woman a wink.

The fallen woman understands and wiggles her water-snake waist over to ask, "Hey! What did you come in for?"

"Murder."

The woman lowers her head and softly spits out the two words.

Her tone is very flat, as if murder is not a big deal, as ordinary as eating or drinking water!

"Tsk tsk! You're bluffing, aren't you? With your small build, you'd struggle to kill a chicken, let alone a person? Who would believe that!"

Before her voice even fades, the woman strikes quickly. The fallen woman's arm is already twisted behind her back, and before she can even react to what is happening, she is already head-down, nearly face-planting into the ground!

"Spare me, beauty, spare me. I have no ill intentions, I was wrong, I was really wrong..." The fallen woman reacts quickly and apologizes repeatedly.

The woman releases her and gives her a light push forward. The fallen woman lunges forward violently, crashing into the Big Sister's arms.

Such a sturdy woman is actually knocked staggering!

She pushes the fallen woman aside, no longer underestimating the woman in front of her, and instead gives up her own spot to her.

The strongest strength gets the best spot; this is the rule of the cell!

The woman ignores her, instead taking her own bedding to the empty spot to make the bed, then lies on the bed, looking at the ceiling with empty eyes.

The three women gather together again, whispering.

"What's the background of this woman?"

"I don't know, I can't tell, but she feels very formidable. I didn't even see her move just now, and she had already lunged out..." The fallen woman still has lingering fears when thinking of the scene just now.

It was fortunate that the woman pushed her into the Big Sister's arms just now; if she had pushed her into the bed frame... wouldn't she have been knocked into a vegetative state too?

Being knocked into a vegetative state would be fine; if she didn't know anything, there would be no pain. She is most afraid of being disfigured; she has to rely on her face to make a living.

"Not an ordinary person!" the thief concludes.

The woman lies on the bed for a long time, then suddenly says, "I can't stay here, I must find a way to escape!"

The three people look at each other, and no one dares to respond.

Is this planning to break out of prison?

They had never thought of it.

The woman sits up and says to the three, "Don't you want to escape and live a free life?"

"Ah? We do!" the Big Sister answers honestly.

The fallen woman says, "But escaping is a serious crime; it will only lead to a heavier sentence."

The thief nods in agreement.

The woman sneers, "What's the difference between fifteen years and twenty years? It's a serious crime anyway, so it's better to give it a try. If you bet right, you get your freedom."

The woman lies back on the bed, crosses her legs, and lets out a long sigh, "If you don't want to go out, don't hinder me from escaping. Since I've come in, I won't be able to get out for the rest of my life anyway, so I might as well gamble."

The three people are also tempted; this person is not wrong.

The old lady they beat still hasn't woken up. Regardless of whether she is dead or not, their years here will not be few.

It's better to give it a try; if it works, it works.

Even if they fail, the result won't be any worse than it is now!

Labor reform camp.

Several people are digging soil. Today is the last day, and the project is coming to an end.

It is almost dark, the perfect opportunity to escape.

The woman gives the three people a wink, and then she lunges violently at the prison guard closest to her!

The three people flee in three different directions.

Police cars wail behind them, chasing them. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, these few people actually shake off the police behind them.

The Big Sister is fleeing in a panic. The woman runs to her side at some point and drags her along. The two arrive at a desolate place, and the woman stops and stops running.

"Why aren't you running? Run quickly, the people behind will catch up!" The Big Sister has already treated the woman as her closest friend.

"Can you not run anymore? I'll carry you!"

"No need, let's rest a while and chat." The woman was calm and composed, showing no signs of being unable to run.

The woman revealed a smile, a smile full of hidden meaning.

The big sister was also someone who had seen the world; she sensed the woman was full of malice toward her and retreated vigilantly: "What are you trying to do?"

"Sister, in the world of the jianghu, one is not master of one's own actions. I am also just taking money to solve problems for others. I believe you will understand me, right?"

Only then did the big sister realize she had been tricked; this person never wanted to escape at all!

She just wanted to lure them out to take revenge.

"Were you sent by that person?"

"You don't need to worry about who sent me. Rest assured, I won't kill you, just make you suffer a bit!" She pressed forward step by step, and the big sister retreated step by step.

The big sister still harbored a glimmer of hope at this moment.

Because the woman had no weapons at all, not even a short blade; did she intend to take revenge empty-handed?

Keep dreaming.

But as soon as this person made a move, the big sister knew she was wrong.

The woman was very fast, her strikes sharp and decisive, never dragging her feet. "Crack!" A few times.

She hadn't even seen how the woman struck when a sharp pain shot through her arm; her wrist had been kicked and broken.
