Chapter 2891

Ye Chen's requirements, if placed in the past, would definitely have made these people think it was a fantasy.

However, after a few had experienced Ye Chen's methods and the majority had witnessed Ye Chen's coldness, these people all felt that Ye Chen's requirements were not excessive at all.

Therefore, each of them nodded like pounding garlic, afraid that if they were a step late in expressing their stance, they would be caught by Ye Chen.

Seeing them all nod in agreement, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Since you have no objections, we will start implementing this from now on. This cell is currently dirty and smelly, so all of you will start with a big cleanup first. It must be cleaned until it is spotless; otherwise, all of you will be punished together."

The group dared not say more and quickly began an unprecedented big cleanup.

In order to satisfy Ye Chen as soon as possible, everyone who could still move immediately participated. They threw all the long-unwashed bedding into the bathroom, leaving a few people specifically responsible for washing, while the rest began to desperately clean every corner.

They knew that if Ye Chen was even slightly dissatisfied with the hygiene, they would not be able to avoid a physical beating.

And the physical beating Ye Chen gave was truly painful!

Even Dean, dragging his broken body, used a towel to repeatedly wipe Ye Chen's bed, especially the footprints he had stepped on earlier, which he wiped so diligently that not a single mark remained.

At this time, Ye Chen looked at the miserable Dean and asked, "Dean, I have a question for you. You must answer truthfully. If you dare to play tricks with me, I will make you a hundred times more miserable than you are now. Do you understand?"

Dean trembled all over and quickly said, "Sir, please ask. As long as it's something I know, I will definitely not hide anything!"

Ye Chen nodded and asked, "In Brooklyn Prison, have you ever heard of a Chinese prisoner named Peter Zhou?"

"Peter Zhou?" Dean shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this person."

Ye Chen asked back, "Think carefully. In your memory, can you not recall anything about this name at all?"

Dean said with a panicked face, "Sir, I'm really not lying. I have never heard of the name you mentioned..."

Ye Chen could see that Dean was not lying, and he hadn't expected to be able to get news about Peter Zhou from Dean anyway.

After all, he was someone targeted by core members of the Rothschild family; even if he were sent to this prison, it would definitely not be made known to everyone.

So, Ye Chen remembered the informant Lucas mentioned by the police officer and asked, "Then have you ever heard of a Brazilian named Lucas?"

Dean nodded quickly and said, "I know Lucas. That kid is very clever and has connections all over Brooklyn Prison. He has a nickname, 'The Know-It-All of Brooklyn Prison.' He is in Cell 15, not far from here."

Ye Chen said again, "Now, introduce me to the situation of the prisoners in Brooklyn Prison, especially the situation of these internal gang forces."

Dean thought for a moment and said, "Sir, Brooklyn Prison has two prison blocks in total. We are currently in the first block. Each block has a boss, and this boss is the person who can truly intimidate the entire block."

As he spoke, Dean added, "In the first block where we are, the boss is the famous Mexican drug lord Gustavo Sanchez. This person is very powerful. It is said that before he was caught by the US police, his net worth exceeded 10 billion US dollars. However, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. His family currently inherited his drug empire in Mexico. After he was imprisoned, they successively sent a group of loyalists into the prison. These people protect him in prison and helped him sit in the position of the block boss. With this group of drug dealers, the first block has become the block with the highest death rate in the United States."

Ye Chen continued to ask him, "What about the second block?"

Dean said, "The boss of the second block is the boss of the New York gangs from ten years ago, Joseph Norris. He was very glorious in New York back then and had many underlings. The Italians only rose to power after he was imprisoned. When he was still outside, those Italians from Sicily had to clench their butts even if they just farted in New York."

Ye Chen nodded and asked again, "How much longer until dinner time?"

Dean looked up at the electronic clock and quickly said, "Forty minutes."

"Good." Ye Chen said indifferently, "When we get to the cafeteria, introduce Lucas to me."

Dean said respectfully, "Okay, sir, I will definitely help you introduce him."

Ye Chen smiled and suddenly asked him, "By the way, Dean, you shouldn't be taking the opportunity of eating to report me to the prison guards, right?"

Dean quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, sir, please rest assured, I will absolutely not report to the guards. In this prison, there is an unwritten rule: internal problems must be solved internally, and one must absolutely not seek help from prison guards. Once a person asks the guards for help, that is breaking the rules. In this prison, they would fall to the lowest level, and everyone would bully them..."

Dean was not lying.

In this prison, this underworld rule had long existed. After all, those who could get in here were either gang members, serious criminals, or big drug lords. These people had two common characteristics: the first was being ruthless, and the second was hating anyone who snitched to the police.

So, once someone was bullied in this prison and turned around to report to the guards, they would be hated by everyone in the prison.

And the group of people who originally set the rules, in order to completely prevent anyone from secretly snitching to the guards, had always used private lynching on informants to maintain the deterrent power of this rule.

Over the years, many people in this prison had been killed for snitching. Their methods of death were strange and varied: some were very annoyed by their own snitching behavior and "committed suicide" by hanging; some "fell" to their deaths while walking; some "choked" to death on their toothbrushes while brushing their teeth; and some even "suffocated" to death because they couldn't poop.

After many people died, internal snitching was almost completely eradicated in this prison, and Dean was considered an old face here; he knew the rules here very well.

In his view, although he was very angry about being beaten, tortured, and humiliated by Ye Chen today, he had at least survived for the time being. As long as he still had a way to live, he absolutely could not snitch, because doing so would be equivalent to pushing himself to a dead end.

After Ye Chen heard him say this, he roughly understood the survival rules of this prison and asked again, "If a relatively serious violent conflict occurs here, will the prison guards intervene?"

Dean said truthfully, "In this place, as long as it is a violent conflict among the prisoners themselves, they will absolutely not ask. They usually let the prisoners solve it themselves. As long as no one dies, they will absolutely not appear."

As he spoke, Dean added, "Because Brooklyn Prison has no outdoor playground, the recreation time here is connected with meal time. Usually, after lunch, the prison guards will send everyone back to the prison block and then let everyone move freely in the block for an hour. That is, the doors of all cells are open, and prisoners can move freely in the block. If there are friends or enemies in other cells, they can go find them at this time;"

"And after dinner, the prison guards will leave all prisoners to move in the cafeteria and fitness area for an hour, and then send everyone back to their cells after an hour. During this hour, prisoners from both blocks will be together. If there are friends or enemies in other blocks, they can also meet at this time;"

"During the two recreation times every day, the prison guards will withdraw from the recreation area, leaving the prisoners to move freely. If a violent conflict occurs between prisoners, the prison guards will not ask."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "According to what you said, after we go to dinner in a while, it will be free activity time with both blocks together?"

"Yes." Dean quickly said, "If that Peter Zhou you are looking for is in this prison and hasn't been put in solitary confinement or sent for treatment due to injury, you will be able to see him when you eat!"
