Siheyuan came through and sent Jia Zhang to prison

Meanwhile, Xu Damao's days in prison felt like years, his only hope being to be released. Although he had divorced Lou Xiao'e, he still had his job at the steel mill. He fantasized about continuing his life there as usual after his release, unaware that Lou Bancheng was secretly seeking revenge against him.

He paced back and forth in his small cell every day, his eyes full of anxiety and expectation. He kept asking his cellmates about his release, hoping to regain his freedom as soon as possible and return to his familiar life.

Xu Damao knew full well that Director Yang and Lou Bancheng had a special relationship, close enough to wear the same pants. This time, his kidnapping of Lou Xiao'e had become such a big deal that if he didn't find a way out, Director Yang could find any excuse to fire him from the steel mill.

If he lost this job, he would be completely destitute. Thinking of this, Xu Damao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the small cell, but he couldn't think of any good solution. He had never imagined that this carefully planned operation would end in failure. Now that he was in such a desperate situation, what should he do?

Life in this prison is simply not a human life. The food is hard to swallow. Not only is the quantity pitifully small, but the taste is terrible. I am starving every day, and the water I drink also has a strange taste.

Xu Damao felt like he was living in hell, and he almost wanted to die. He stared out of the cell with a look of resentment, muttering to himself, "Lou Xiao'e, you're so cruel! I just wanted someone to kidnap you, but you had to go to such great lengths to send me to jail? I'm locked up here now, how am I going to live my life from now on? My life is completely ruined..."

Just as Xu Damao was talking nonsense to himself, several thugs came around. The leader looked at Xu Damao with squinted eyes and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Your name is Xu Damao?"

Xu Damao was in a terrible mood at the moment. Seeing these uninvited guests, he was even more furious. He shouted impatiently, "Get out of here! I'm in a bad mood right now. If you dare to provoke me, don't blame me for being rude!"

These thugs were actually hired by Lou Bancheng specifically to deal with Xu Damao. Hearing Xu Damao dare to scold them, one of them flew into a rage. He stepped forward, pointed at Xu Damao's nose and cursed, "Xu Damao, you bastard, you're so bold! You actually dared to scold me!"

Although Xu Damao was imprisoned, he was used to being domineering and refused to give in. He glared and cursed back, "Don't think I'm afraid of you just because I was arrested! You little hooligans, get out of here and stop annoying me!"

Xu Damao was met with a barrage of punches and kicks from the thugs. As they beat him, they cursed him: "You son of a bitch! We were just worried about finding a reason to punish you, but now you come to us and curse us. Don't blame us for being rude!"

Xu Damao was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands. After finally finding a chance to catch his breath, he shouted loudly, "I haven't offended you. Why are you hitting me? You are a bunch of unreasonable people!"

At this moment, the man who looked like the gang leader stopped what he was doing, squatted down, looked at Xu Damao fiercely, and said word by word: "Remember, you offended someone outside who you shouldn't have offended, and they have told us to teach you a lesson. So, if you know what's good for you, don't resist, just accept it obediently, do you understand?"

Xu Damao looked at them in bewilderment and horror, and asked tremblingly, "Please explain clearly, who did I offend?"

Several hooligans stared at Xu Damao with a playful look on their faces. One of them curled his lips and said sarcastically, "You don't even know who you've offended. You deserve to be beaten. Why are you still pretending to be confused?"

Xu Damao wasn't stupid to begin with, and initially he didn't react. But after the thug reminded him, he suddenly realized what was going on. He thought to himself, this must be Lou Bancheng's conspiracy. Besides him, no one else had the ability or motive to target him. The thought filled Xu Damao with anger and frustration.

Just when Xu Damao was about to open his mouth to refute, these thugs, adhering to the principle of doing things for money, didn't care what he said and rushed over to beat Xu Damao up. They were merciless, and every punch and kick was full of strength, leaving Xu Damao unable to fight back.

Xu Damao knew Lou Bancheng had sent someone to deal with him, but he was imprisoned and had no way to stop them. He could only watch helplessly as they beat him, screaming in agony. He cried out in pain, begging for mercy, but the thugs seemed possessed, getting more and more excited and enjoying the beating.

However, just when Xu Damao felt he was about to be beaten to death, he suddenly had an idea and pretended to faint. After all, if he continued like this, he might really be beaten to death. So, he closed his eyes tightly, his body limply collapsed to the ground, and he stopped struggling.

Sure enough, seeing Xu Damao faint, the others finally stopped. One of the thugs, who seemed to be the leader, panted heavily, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Okay, we have to stay here for a while. We can't beat him to death in one go. We have to take our time, understand? If we kill him, we won't have done our job well, and it will be difficult to explain to the employer later."

In fact, Xu Damao was not unconscious at all. He squinted his eyes and secretly observed the movements around him. He cursed angrily in his heart: "Lou Bancheng, you are so cruel! I am already in jail here, and you still won't let me go. You find someone to beat me up. You bastard, you really deserve to die!" At this time, Xu Damao was full of hatred for Lou Bancheng. He began to think about how to deal with Lou Bancheng severely to vent his anger.

But after a moment's reflection, Xu Damao's mood plummeted. He realized he was now in prison, penniless, with no connections or resources. How could he possibly seek revenge against Lou Bancheng? He was now a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others. Helplessly, Xu Damao knew he could only swallow his anger for the time being and endure it silently.

Xu Damao was originally thinking about reporting these thugs to the prison guards, but at this moment, the thugs saw that Xu Damao was "unconscious" and began to talk to him unscrupulously.
