Chapter 258 An Extra Y ChromosomeJoe understood what he meant and didn't dare to play any more tricks: "No need."Chu Xuange didn't say whether he believed it or not, but looked down at Bradley Kirk, who was slumped on the ground.He shuddered and quickly said, "Brother, I didn't know. They are the warden's cronies. I'm just a low-ranking prison guard."Joe quickly said, "I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying to you."Chu Xuange remained skeptical and did not readily believe him. He neither overestimated human nature nor underestimated the risks.The next day, at 6:10 a.m.When Pei Hening woke up, her arms were numb. She grabbed a coat, stood up and stretched her arms. Just as she was about to ask Chu Xuange why he hadn't asked her to keep watch for the rest of the night, she saw seven people tied up tightly on the ground.Chu Xuange stood next to the cabinet, holding a tool bag, and stuffed portable biscuits, braised eggs, and chicken legs into the bag: "Awake? Grab your gun, we should go."If they don't leave soon, they'll be trapped like turtles in a jar."What's going on?""We're about to be exposed; we'll have to live like rats in the street for a while."Pei Hening rolled her eyes at him. After the numbness in her hand subsided, she grabbed the paper from yesterday that contained her patrol schedule and simple route map, folded it, and stuffed it into Chu Xuange's tool bag. Then she picked up her gun again: "Shall we go?""Walk."No sooner had the two left the monitoring room than more than a dozen fully armed prison guards opened a hidden door and strode in. After seeing the scene inside the monitoring room, they hurriedly went forward to untie the others.Joe struggled to climb out, but was caught by another prison guard who untied him: "Untie him first, we'll catch the fugitive later, don't rush."Enraged, Joe yelled, "Let me go! Let me leave!"What's your rush?"Boom—"Pei Hening glanced back, still shaken, and said, "It's the surveillance room. They actually used a bomb to catch us. That was terrifying!"Chu Xuange blinked and followed her lead, saying, "I also think that they might have an extra Y chromosome. Luckily, we were quick to react."Taking advantage of the chaos, the two sneaked back into the old kitchen. When Chu Xuange lifted the wooden planks on the ground, Pei Hening immediately pulled him away, and the two dodged the steel bars that swept across the room with a whooshing sound.Jiang Lengyu was clearly surprised by the two people's agility, and narrowed her eyes, becoming more alert: "Who are you?"Pei Hening looked at Xun Yingdong sitting on the bed, drawing a map, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. It was good that this guy was alright."Shouldn't I be asking you that?"Pei Hening continued, "Who are you? Where did you come from?"Jiang Lengyu smelled the stench that hit her face. She noticed that Pei Hening glanced at Xun Yingdong a few more times. After confirming that they knew each other, her tense nerves relaxed a little: "Never mind, did you guys save her?""Hmm. You know her?"Chu Xuange's ears twitched, and he whispered, "Someone's coming."Jiang Lengyu took a few steps back and said, "You all come in first."After the two hid in the basement, they heard the noise outside getting louder. The patrolling prison guard opened the door, looked around, and, finding no suspicious hiding place, turned and left.Pei Hening put the matchbox she had left on the table yesterday into her pocket, looked at Jiang Lengyu who was staring at her warily, and then at the shackles on her feet. She was a little puzzled. Did she not know Jiang Lengyu? Otherwise, why would she be wearing shackles?Jiang Lengyu grew impatient with her scrutiny and asked in a low voice, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Pei Hening pulled Xun Yingdong behind her and questioned, "Do you really know her?"
