Chapter 801 - Failed rescue! (1/2)

The warden was standing in the control room and watching Wang Yun and the Great Hoodwinker whispering to each other onscreen. It was an extremely strange sight to behold.

However, the warden realized Wang Yun must know he could read lips. That was why he covered his mouth when he was speaking.

In the past, when he looked at the surveillance footage, he would know what the prisoners were saying even if he could not hear their voices. The prisoners unknowingly revealing their own secrets was the reason why he was able to remain as the warden for more than a decade, because he could always pass on extremely important information to the higher-ups.

But Wang Yun was actually aware of his secret.

As expected, Wang Yun, who was capable enough to become the intelligence agency’s director, was outstanding.

Back when Wang Yun was still the director of the 2nd Military Intelligence Division, the warden realized not even the 1st and 2nd Military Intelligence Divisions combined could capture as many criminals as Wang Yun had. It seemed the man was always able to uncover other people’s secrets from the simple clues he found.

The warden said with a cold expression, “There’s definitely a problem with these two. When will the 1st Military Intelligence Division get here for the interrogation?”

“They said they’ll be here soon,” a prison guard answered.

“Zoom in on them and listen to what they are saying with the audio pick-up equipment,” the warden said.

The prison guard answered, “Sir, it’s too noisy in the chow hall. Besides, there’s no audio frequency detected around them. We can’t hear what they’re saying.”

“Send in the riot squad to maintain order and bring those two out. And be careful. If they encounter any resistance, just open fire on them,” the warden said.

With that, tear gas was released from the ceiling, and white smoke quickly filled the entire chow hall.

The riot squad downstairs began streaming in with their gas masks on and started beating up anyone they came across. There was also a group of 10 other troopers who rushed towards Wang Yun and the Great Hoodwinker.

The Great Hoodwinker shouted, “Why don’t we charge out and bring that warden under control first? I feel that we still have a 50% chance of success at that.”

“No, the warden is a superhuman. It won’t be that easy.” Wang Yun shouted, “Besides, I still have more than 200 subordinates locked up in another prison. If I take any action here, they’ll be killed!”

The Great Hoodwinker muttered, “Let’s just surrender then. Why are you so troublesome?”

Wang Yun’s eyes reddened from the tear gas. Fortunately, he managed to control the air in time and isolated the remaining tear gas. As such, he and the Great Hoodwinker did not get affected too badly.

Wang Yun stared at the Great Hoodwinker. “If you want me to join the Prosperous Northwest, you’ll have to rescue my subordinates first. I’m not leaving by myself!”

“Are you kidding me? There’s more than 200 of them. How are we going to bring them with us?” The Great Hoodwinker nearly went crazy when he heard that. This was the Kong Consortium’s territory, after all. It would not be too difficult to sneak one person away, but to bring more than 200 people with them, wasn’t that as good as declaring war with the Kong Consortium!?

Wang Yun ignored the Great Hoodwinker’s grousing. He looked at the riot squad that was rushing over and said, “We’ll talk after we make it through the beating. You don’t even have a concrete plan yet, so why did you come and talk to me? For that, we’re both gonna get beaten up!”

However, after Wang Yun mentioned they were going to get beaten up, he realized the Great Hoodwinker did not really seem to mind.

He said in surprise, “Aren’t you afraid?”

“Oh, about getting beaten up?” The Great Hoodwinker said, “It’s not like it’s gonna hurt me anyways.”

Wang Yun was stunned. Oh right! This Great Hoodwinker had such thick skin that not even the anesthetic injection had any effect on him, so of course he wouldn’t be scared of taking a beating.

But Wang Yun would feel pain!

Fuck, so after the Great Hoodwinker got him into all this trouble, he would be the only one suffering?

Wang Yun said through clenched teeth, “Can you people from the Northwest not be such nuisances?!”

The Great Hoodwinker coughed, “All the best.”
