Li Jun’s full-powered punch was astonishingly forceful. Before his fist even reached Qin Hao, the gale from it had already made Qin Hao feel somewhat short of breath.
However, that was also the full extent of what this punch could accomplish.
Because Li Jun’s fist had stopped right in front of him, unable to advance even an inch further.
An invisible force was blocking it.
Li Jun’s eyes widened, filled with terror. He shouted fiercely at Qin Hao:
“Impossible! How did you notify her? She’s tied up and unable to break free! Your communicator has also been blocked. There’s no way she could know!”
Qin Hao smiled faintly. “Take a look at what’s in my right pocket.”
Li Jun looked over and saw that the pocket contained a work display terminal.
“That thing can’t communicate at all!” Li Jun shouted.
Qin Hao laughed. “Is that so? You should have received my access records.”
Li Jun’s entire body trembled. “You used this to contact her?”
Qin Hao snapped his fingers. “That’s right. From the moment I discovered the deceased person, I began clicking to access her data. I continued until I entered this place. During that time, I clicked to access it 138 times in total. She might overlook it once or twice, but after more than a hundred times, she should have noticed, right?”
Li Jun began to tremble slightly. An uncontrollable look of fear appeared in his eyes. He had stayed by Wang Ling’s side for so many years that he knew very well how terrifying she was.
He shouted in a trembling voice:
“Warden, don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m absolutely loyal to you, and I have nothing to do with the Qin Family. He’s the one sent by the Qin Family.”
He knew perfectly well that he had no chance of escaping. The only thing he could do was regain Wang Ling’s trust.
However, the moment he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill at his neck.
He reached up and wiped it, only to see a faint trace of blood on his hand.
“No, no! Warden, I’m innocent!” he screamed in terror.
As he spoke with force, a gash suddenly split open across his neck, and blood gushed from it.
“Huff, huff…” He still wanted to say something, but he could no longer make a sound.
Bang!
Clutching his throat, he weakly fell to his knees in front of Qin Hao. After looking at Qin Hao with regret, he collapsed facedown on the ground and fell silent forever.
If he had been given another chance, he would never have provoked Qin Hao.
Unfortunately, there were no second chances.
Qin Hao glanced at his corpse and gently shook his head. He then walked to the door and said calmly:
“Open the door.”
The door opened, and a group of guards gathered outside, all looking at Qin Hao with awe.
They had heard Li Jun’s screams clearly just now. Qin Hao’s energy had far exceeded their imagination.
Li Jun had been the captain of all the male guards, yet the warden had been willing to kill him for Qin Hao.
This made them completely unwilling to offend Qin Hao.
Qin Hao ignored their gazes and simply walked straight through them toward the medical room.
Along the way, he occasionally received various kinds of looks. The guards each had their own circles, and the matter had already spread throughout the guards’ circles.
But he paid it no mind. Instead, he pondered the ins and outs of the matter.
Yes, although Li Jun was dead, the matter was far from over. There were several major points of doubt:
First, how had the guard in the cinema hall died, and who was the killer?
Although Li Jun was bold, he should not have specifically killed a guard just to deal with Qin Hao. Moreover, the guard’s manner of death had been very suspicious.
Second, what had tied up Wang Ling?
He had originally thought that Wang Ling would appear, but she had not. Instead, she had blocked Li Jun’s attack from afar and killed him.
This made him marvel at Wang Ling’s strength, while also becoming extremely interested in the matter that had forced Wang Ling to seek help and left the two sides deadlocked.
Third, what kind of existence exactly was the so-called Qin Family? What was their purpose?
Li Jun’s anxiety should not have been groundless. The Qin Family had most likely sent other people to this prison as well. Li Jun must have received some information, which was why he had seemed so anxious.
But their purpose was probably not so simple.
While pondering these questions, he arrived at the medical room.
As expected, the person receiving him was that mountain-like woman, Chen Shengnan.
Chen Shengnan took a look at him and said, “I get quite a few repeat customers here, but there really aren’t many who leave and come back as quickly as you.”
Qin Hao smiled. “It wasn’t my intention either. I just didn’t expect Captain Chen to be a doctor as well.”
“It’s normal for one person to hold several positions in the prison. However, I don’t really count as a doctor. I’ve only studied some nursing, so I’m more like a junior nurse.” Chen Shengnan shook her head.
Qin Hao looked at her and could not help laughing. “A junior nurse? I really couldn’t tell.”
“Actually, I do have a nurse’s uniform. Want to see it?” Chen Shengnan asked.
“This… well, definitely next time.” Qin Hao shuddered. He imagined the great shark Ao Pang wearing a nurse’s uniform.
“All right, definitely next time.” Chen Shengnan examined his arm with an instrument and nodded. “It’s fine. Nothing serious. A comminuted fracture.”
“Nothing serious…” Qin Hao shook his head and laughed helplessly.
“If it can be treated, then it’s nothing serious.” Chen Shengnan patted his shoulder. “Just soak in the treatment pool for a while every day.”
Qin Hao nodded. “That’s good, then.”
“However, the only problem is that you won’t be able to use either arm for some time. You probably won’t be able to take care of yourself.” Chen Shengnan said.
“That is a problem.” Qin Hao frowned slightly.
With both hands unable to move, he could not manage anything by himself—not eating or drinking, and not even going to the bathroom.
“You need a personal assistant.” Chen Shengnan suddenly smiled at him. “What about me? I’ve studied nursing and am very good at taking care of people.”
Qin Hao hurriedly shook his head. “No need. Captain Chen, please assign me a male guard.”
He was only joking. If he let Chen Shengnan take care of his daily needs, she might very well dismantle him.
Chen Shengnan thought for a moment before shaking her head. “No. I have very few male guards under me, and every one of them is important. I can’t transfer them at will.”
“Then you can find a male guard in the male prisoner area,” Qin Hao suggested.
“That would have been possible before, but not now.” Chen Shengnan gave him a meaningful look. “The captain of the male guards was killed, and without a captain, the warden is busy. I can’t transfer anyone at will.”
“Then find Liu Fang or Jinx,” Qin Hao said.
“No. We’re in a special period, and prisoners aren’t allowed to leave the guarded area.” Chen Shengnan continued shaking her head.
“Do I only have one choice left?” Qin Hao looked at Chen Shengnan speechlessly.
Chen Shengnan chuckled. “Perhaps.”
But at that moment, a delicate voice rang out:
“No, you have one more choice.”
