She is eager to find a hiding spot, but first she has to wait in line to enter the restaurant. There’s no way to escape except through this route. Although she wishes she could go to the yground to call Charlie for help, she knows she must wait until lunch is over. Only after lunch can the prisoners and suspects ess the yground.
Yet, heading to the ygroundes with significant risks.
Violent incidents frequently ur there.
At Bedford Hills Correctional Institution, disputes among inmates in the same cell are typically resolved within their own confines. However, conflicts between inmates from different cells can only be settled when they are out in the yground.
The reason ine earned her reputation as a ghost in Bedford Mountain is that she often relied on Abelone and others to teach lessons to the inmates from other cells. This led her to be the unofficial leader of Bedford Hills Correctional Institution.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
However, this position also meant umting numerous enemies throughout the institution.
Now that she has lost her protection, she fears that she could be severely harmed when she is releasedter.
ine’s heart is heavy with despair, worried she might have to face a dire situation today.
As she follows the crowd to the restaurant, it’s clear that all the other prisoners are aware that ine has lost her support.
Many re at her with hostility, and some even seem eager to confront her physically.
Those who used to align themselves with ine have now distanced themselves from her. Once, they woulde to the restaurant to eat with her and even serve her food, but now no one dares to sit with her.
Many eyes are on ine, eager to see if she still has any allies. ine knows how crucial it is to find a group to join. If someone is willing to help her now, it might provide her with a measure of safety.
Holding her dinner te, ine scans the room and spots a few Chinesepatriots who had previously shown her much admiration.
Thesepatriots used to be in the cell next to ine’s.
Though they had no prior connection, after ine rose to power, they approached her one day while outside for air. They tearfully exined that they were being bullied by the head of their cell and requested her assistance, hoping that as a fellow citizen, she could help them stop the harassment.
In their desperation, they even knelt before ine, pleading for her aid.
At that time, ine was riding high on her newfound status and, moved by their respect, agreed to help.
She asked Abelone and a few others to confront the bully, and they ended up beating him so badly that he ended up in the infirmary.
Thanks to ine’s intervention, these Chinesepatriots rose to prominence in their own cell.
From then on, they would crowd around ine during meals and outings, showering her with respect.
Now, ine believes she can count on their gratitude to help her during this vulnerable moment, hoping they will protect her from any potential attacks when they are outside.
With determination, she approaches their table.
However, as she reaches the empty seat next to them, one of them quickly ces his leg over it and says coldly, “That seat is taken!”
ine instinctively replies, “Xiao Zhang, isn’t that seat free?”
Then, she adds quickly, “Xiao Zhang, considering I helped you before, I really need your assistance this time. Just help protect me, and I’ll be able to go to the ygroundter to call my son-inw!”
The woman named Xiao Zhang scoffs and suddenly stands up. ine, thinking she’s making room for her, is taken aback when Xiao Zhang grabs the te from her hands and tosses it into the trash can!<fn3a27> This text is hosted at find~novel</fn3a27>
Surprised and confused, ine asks, “Why would you do that?”
Xiao Zhang replies coldly, “ine, I’ve been fed up with you for a long time. Just because you have a few who can fight for you doesn’t mean you’re anything special. Who do you think you are? Get away from here!”<h3 id="chapter-list" ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">
