Chapter 550: This Fatty Didn

When it comes to meals, no place in the country has a diet as healthy as a detention center's.

In short: detention center meals are primarily light and simple.

Since they're simple, let me describe them.

Breakfast usually consists of basic foods like white rice porridge or corn porridge, occasionally accompanied by pickled vegetables or eggs.

Pay attention—there's the word "occasionally" in the previous sentence.

Lunch centers on steamed buns or rice, paired with boiled vegetables such as cabbage, radish, or napa cabbage.

Dinner is mostly light fare like vegetable soup or thin porridge.

Some might think this isn't bad—just a bit light.

Try eating this menu for a few days and you'll see.

Many celebrities and health gurus eat exactly like this; Da S is a classic vegetarian.

Let me put it this way: no matter how severe a person's obesity, spending one year in detention will cure it.

In the northeast, there was a big-time figure—his name won't be mentioned.

He used to gorge himself daily and developed the "three highs."

Before entering, his health was already dire; his family once thought he wouldn't survive a year.

But after entering detention, the case, due to insufficient evidence, was never brought to trial, and he remained detained for over two years.

Later, he was sentenced to three years; with little time left, he served the remainder of his sentence in detention until release.

After he got out, all his "three highs" symptoms vanished—he walked briskly, utterly transformed from how he was before.

So if you want health, eat the detention center diet—it will guarantee you a healthy body.

Later, that big guy said: once his health improved, his spirit lifted—but he sometimes wished he were dead.

Zhang Yanlong faced exactly this situation.

Eating healthy meals daily in detention drove him to the brink of mental collapse.

"You mean you used flaunting wealth to get them to improve your meals?" Yu Dazhang asked him.

It's said that those who can brag anywhere can get by—Zhang Yanlong is a classic example.

Moreover, his background was highly convincing.

Not just the three fugitives—even Yu Dazhang himself had just believed he had a hundred million.

"I couldn't think of any other way."

Zhang Yanlong smiled bitterly and said helplessly:

"I told them that after a while, once the heat died down, I'd have people outside deposit money into my account, and then I'd treat them to good food every day."

He shook his head and continued:

"They actually believed me. After that, whenever they improved the meals, they invited me along, and our relationship grew closer."

"Until one day, I brought up the hundred million again. To make it sound real, I even invented a hiding place for the money."

At this point, Zhang Yanlong's brow tightened:

"After that day, I noticed the three of them often gathered to whisper among themselves—it felt off, and sometimes the way they looked at me was strange."

"I instinctively felt they were plotting something bad—but I never imagined they were planning an escape."

Now that it's been said this far, anyone watching this interrogation understands what happened.

Zhang Yanlong, to satisfy his appetite, tricked Cheng Wenhao and the others into believing his lie.

Indeed, the strong never complain about their environment.

He dared to bluff just for a meal.

He brainwashed three prison guards into thinking they were escaping to find treasure.

A hundred million.

For three men desperate for money, such a temptation was irresistible.

If there had been no such money outside, they would never have taken the risk.

Because even if they escaped, they'd be hiding everywhere, living in constant fear.

But with money in hand, everything changes.
