Good News

The next day, early morning.

Tilanqiao Prison, Release Square.

A few of the inmates were gathered around in small groups gossiping and enjoying a rare moment of release.

Li Bing crouched alone on the steps, stifling a yawn.

Because the jailhouse was protected by the armed police that had been deployed to protect it, he had made do with a night in the interrogation room last night and hadn't slept well at all.

I don't know how Prof. Chen's application report is coming along.

When can I leave myself.

...

"What's wrong with Li Bing today, so early in the morning he's listless?"

Suddenly, a tall and thin youth patted Li Bing's shoulder from behind and smoothly sat beside him.

"You're not even refreshed from being out in the wind, didn't you sleep well last night?"

The man picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the distance, his face an unconcealed excitement.

He's going to be released from prison today!

Almost six months early because of good behavior in prison!

"Uh-huh, didn't sleep well."

Li Bing glanced at the tall thin man and nodded slightly.

This person was his college friend and roommate, Zhao Yi.

A senior student of the Magic City College of Finance and Economics, who also came in for making false accounts, was sentenced to five years.

"Eh, Li Bing has good news for you."

Zhao Yi mysteriously came over to Li Bing's side with a smile on his face.

"Good news, what good news could you possibly have?"

Li Bing glanced at Zhao Yi and couldn't help but yawn again, he really didn't sleep well last night.

There's really not much energy today.

"Hey, hey, I told you today was my last release and I won't have to come back tomorrow."

Zhao Yi laughed twice and raised his eyebrows in triumph at Li Bing, he didn't want to stay in this shitty prison even for a day.

However, when Li Bing heard this, he still lightly glanced at the complacent Zhao Yi, his tone still not salty.

"Last release?"

"What, are you going to be dragged out and shot?"

...

"Go go go, what being shot, say something auspicious."

"I got out six months early because of good behavior over the years."

"Hahaha, good news, right?"

"If it's quick, we'll be straight out of jail this morning."

The corner of Zhao Yi's mouth couldn't help but curl up, he had been in Tilanqiao soon to be prison for five years and had long since had enough.

Now that I'm able to get out of prison six months early, I can't tell you how excited I am.

"The last time I heard, a company in the Magic City had contacted my family and offered me a salary of 30K a month to apply for a cleaning job with them."

"But I'm a bit hesitant, after all, brother I've been furthering my education here in Tilanqiao for almost five years, don't you think 30K a month is a bit low?"

Zhao Yi spoke to himself, his tone filled with excitement.

Tilan Bridge as a prison for economic criminals, those who can be locked up here, but have real skills.

You could say that 5 years here is the equivalent of going straight into a PhD in finance.

...

"30K a month is actually okay."

"Just don't be overly ambitious."

Li Bing spoke with a lack of interest, seemingly not too interested in Zhao Yi's release from prison.

Zhao Yi also noticed that Li Bing was not in high spirits at this time, looking at that handsome face full of fatigue and sleepiness, Zhao Yi subconsciously felt that this college roommate of his, should be in sadness.

After all, he's going to be in Tilanqiao Prison for another ten years.

"Okay Li Bing, don't be difficult."

"I know you were wrongly accused, and when I get out of jail, I'll find you evidence and find a way to prove that you were set up by the right company."

"Trying to get you out of here early."

...

As soon as Zhao Yi thought about what happened to Li Bing, he couldn't help but sigh and patted his shoulder as a form of comfort.

While he himself was completely to blame for being caught in Tilanqiao Prison, Li Bing was framed by his rivals to become an economic criminal.

And the first-instance verdict was a direct sentence of 10 years' imprisonment.

To be honest, Zhao Yi admired Li Bing's mentality.

If he were Li Bing, I'm afraid he would have been depressed by now.

...

Li Bing glanced at Zhao Yi in surprise, not expecting this kid's mouth to be able to say something that would move him.

It's worthy of being a good brother who went to school together and squatted in a kiln together.

However, for this intention of Zhao Yi, Li Bing's heart is just fine, those rivals who set themselves up are not small in power, and he is not willing to let Zhao Yi, who is not easy to get out, to take another risk.

"Just mind your own business, I'll take care of mine."

"Those evidences, let me find them myself."

...

Li Bing sight to look outside the prison, if the guess was right, the earliest he would be able to be bailed out of scientific research today.

When the time comes, he'll have plenty of time to gather evidence that those guys set him up.

"You collect them yourself?"

"You're in Tilanqiao Prison, how do you collect."

Zhao Yi lightly laughed and shook his head, only taking what Li Bing had just said as a joke.

It wasn't taken seriously.

Li Bing's first trial verdict he is clear, ten years of imprisonment, it is impossible to be paroled out casually.

Trying to gather evidence in Tilan Bridge Prison? That's even more of a fool's errand.

...

"9928 Zhao Yi!"

"9928 Zhao Yi!"

...

Suddenly a prison guard held a loud speaker and walked into the square where the wind was released, shouting Zhao Yi's number as well as his name.

Hearing his name, Zhao Yi jerked up from the steps.

After glancing at the prison guard, he hurriedly looked down at Li Bing again.

"Here it comes, here it comes, it must be to inform me of my release from prison!"

Li Bing's face was full of excitement, and he hurriedly ran towards the prison guards at a fast pace.

"Here!"

"Report, sir, over here."

"Here sir."

"Sir I am 9928 Zhao Yi."

...

Zhao Yi trotted to the front of the prison guard and immediately stood straight and upright.

On his face was an excited smile that he couldn't hide.

However, the officer who was just about to open his mouth to inform Zhao Yi, after seeing Li Bing behind Zhao Yi.

Immediately ignoring Zhao Yi who stood beside him respectfully, he quickly walked over to Li Bing.

"May I ask who you are, Mr. Li Bing?"

...

The tone is not as casual as it was just now.

The events of last night had not circulated among the prisoners, but as prison guards at Tilbury Bridge, they had vaguely detected a hint of something unusual.

First, the old professor from the Magic City Academy of Sciences came to the prison and met with Li Bing, talking at length for several hours.

Armed police forces then came to the prison overnight and took control of Li Bing's cell and did not allow anyone to approach.

This morning, the special application form for scientific research on parole from the Magic City Academy of Sciences had been sent to the office of Warden Gao Yi.

Everything hinted that this young man named Li Bing was very uncomplicated.

"Yes, I am Li Bing."

Li Bing nodded his head, not expecting this prison guard to recognize him.

Zhao Yi was also puzzled as he twisted his head to look at Li Bing and the guard, when did the guards become so polite to them prisoners?

Aren't there only code names in prison, not names?

And he'd never seen any guard address an inmate... Sir?

...

"Mr. Li Bing."

"Your research on parole has been approved."

"The staff of the Research Institute is already waiting for you outside the prison."

"My colleagues are starting to help you pack now, so please join me in the security room."
