Lü Yong: "Many murderers in District One are serving life sentences, so they tend to be quite perverted."

Tan Zhirou became more and more frightened as she listened.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

Su Li warned, "Don't wander around alone then, or no one will care if something happens to you."

Although I know the female lead has the male lead's help, I still want to remind her, since there are only two women and everyone else in the group is a man. I should give her a heads-up. Besides, the female lead has a pretty good personality and isn't annoying.

When it doesn't threaten your own interests and you have the ability, you can offer a small favor.

After all, he was born in a peaceful era, and he couldn't bear to see a woman suffer in front of him when he had the ability to help.

Tan Zhirou nodded: "I will, I will definitely follow you closely."

Su Li: "I just don't know where I'll be assigned? Will I be assigned to the same group?"

Tan Zhirou: "Huh? What should we do then?"

Su Li: "Let's see how things go."

Besides, you still have the destined male lead.

The female lead always has a halo, so it's not easy for her to get into trouble.

I need to be careful. That bald guy from before didn't seem like a peaceful person. He might be thinking about causing trouble for me later.

Lü Yong explained, "Generally, they won't be assigned together because there are too many people; it's all decided by drawing lots."

Su Li: "Then it seems unlikely."

The female lead will also grow gradually and become more and more resilient in the future.

Tan Zhirou: "I hope I'll be lucky and get assigned to someone I know."

It would be great to be drawn with Gu Yunqi.

Every day here is filled with tension. Thinking of my family outside makes my heart grow colder and colder, but a determined look appears in my eyes.

I must get out of here and make them all pay for it. No one will get away with this.

Su Li: "Xiao Qi, can you figure out the route out?"

Xiao Qi: "Don't worry, there's no problem."

Su Li: "Then I'll leave the location to you."

I need to go to Sun Da's place and get him to agree to a settlement.

Sun Da is the rich second-generation that Su Li beat up in the bar.

This is the only way to get out of prison early.

On the day of the group activity.

Early in the morning, the prison guards knocked on the door, calling everyone to come out and assemble.

Su Li was woken up by the knocking on the door while she was still asleep.

We didn't eat breakfast in the cafeteria today. Instead, we went directly to the cafeteria entrance, where everyone was given a steamed bun and a bowl of water. After eating, we gathered for a meeting.

Then the group followed the vehicle to the side of a mountain. There were rocks everywhere, and excavators were still chiseling away at the cliff face.

Prison guard: "Now we'll draw lots. Whoever draws number one will move stones here."

Thousands of people participated in the lottery, and it was quite a while before it was Su Li's turn.

Su Li saw that her task was to move stones, which felt like working on a construction site.

Tan Zhirou asked, "Su Li, what number did you draw?"

Su Li: "One"

Tan Zhirou said with a long face, "I drew number three. If I don't go with you, I don't know where we'll go later?"

The prison guards had already assigned numbers. Number one followed this number, number two followed another, number three followed yet another, and so on, according to their numbers.

Su Li: "Be careful in everything you do."

Then I followed the main group led by Prison Guard Number One.

Once they arrived at the destination, they worked in pairs, each with a cart, collecting stones and pushing them to a designated area.

The place was quite far away, and the stones were heavy, so I just started moving them by hand. I could only imagine how much suffering I would endure by the end of the day.

I looked around at the people nearby, but none of them looked familiar.

The person in the same car as me was an older man, probably in his fifties.

He doesn't talk much, looks honest and simple, and keeps his head down while working.

With people watching everyone work, no one dared to slack off.

Su Li worked for two hours and felt hot and hungry. She had only eaten one steamed bun in the morning, which had long been digested, and she was still not full.

Fortunately, there was a full hour during lunch break.

Even though the food was completely devoid of oil, I could finish it all when I was starving and still not feel full. Then I'd find a secluded spot to have a snack.

Looking at the woods next to me, I ran over and sat under a tree to cool off in the shade. It was a good time to rest, and I secretly stuffed some food into my mouth.

"Kid, let's see how you escape today."

Su Li looked back.

"Unless you come begging to us and let a bunch of us have some fun, we'll spare your life. How about that?"

Disgusting words make people want to vomit.

Su Li saw that it was a group of bald men, but today each of them was carrying an iron rod, and the bald man was also carrying an axe on his shoulder. He was talking to Su Li while his eyes were brazenly looking Su Li up and down.

Su Li felt that these troubles would have to be resolved sooner or later, and today was the perfect day.

He stood up and said directly, "Enough with the nonsense."

The bald man was furious: "Since you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me. Brothers, charge! Just leave them alive."

A group of people surrounded Su Li.

"It's quite lively here," a lazy voice said.

Su Li looked over and saw it was the man from that day.

Standing there, he was considerably taller than me. He had a faint smile on his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He stood there casually, with a slender figure and handsome features.

The bald man looked at the newcomer and hesitated for a moment.

"Lu Yan, mind your own business."

Lu Yan laughed and said, "I was sleeping right next to you, and you woke me up? What do you suggest we do about it?"

His voice was casual, yet arrogant.

Baldy: "Are you really determined to meddle in other people's business?"

Lu Yan didn't speak, but just stood there smiling, which meant he agreed.

Baldy was still a little afraid of Lu Yan. He had been beaten up by Lu Yan before, and Lu Yan had even slashed his face, leaving a scar. At the time, Lu Yan said that if there was a next time, the knife would be on his neck.

The underlings next to him had also been beaten before, and they knew that Lu Yan was ruthless, so they didn't dare to fight back.

There were also newcomers who hadn't been beaten up before; they'd only heard of this person and weren't afraid.

Henchman #1: "Boss, what are you afraid of? We outnumber them and have weapons. There are only two of them."

Henchman #2: "Boss, don't listen to him. We can find this kid again next time. He was lucky to run into Lu Yan this time. He can't keep running into him like this."

People who have been severely beaten are more cautious.

The bald man thought about it and figured there would be other opportunities, so there was no rush.

Baldy: "Kid, you got lucky today. You'll regret this next time. Let's go."

After saying that, the group left.

Su Li, who had been so timid and still wanted to settle things with the person today, was speechless.

Lu Yan sneered: "What? Everyone's gone and you're still not back to your senses? Are you scared out of your wits? You weren't afraid when I saw you fighting last time."

Su Li was terrified by what he said; if it weren't for him, he would have dealt with the person himself.

You might have to be careful with the axe, but surely you're strong enough to catch an iron rod? You could even snatch it and use it to beat someone up.

However, I know he meant well in helping me, it's just that his words were harsh.

Su Li still said, "Who was scared? I would have solved it without you."

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "It seems I was meddling in your business. But I did help you, so how are you going to thank me?"

Su Li thought for a moment, then smiled.

Su Li teased him, "Thank you? Sure, isn't it said that you should repay a life-saving debt with your body? I think you're a good fit."

Lu Yan's smile froze: "...That's not necessary. I don't like men, and I have no interest in them."

Su Li smiled and teased, "I already said it's to thank you, it's only right. Maybe you'll like it after you try it?"

After speaking, she looked at Lu Yan with a meaningful gaze.
