Gao Wu: I inherited the evil organization in the game

Chapter 648 The Second Prison is Full of Loyal Ministers
in the corridor.

Liu Yi and Song Ping'an stood straight behind Feng Mu.

suddenly!

"Ding-deng-deng-!"

A series of frantic footsteps, seemingly without regard for anything else, suddenly came from the direction of the second-floor stairwell.

Liu Yi and Song Ping'an looked up at almost the same time.

The usually dignified and composed Madam Li appeared as if she had lost her soul, staggering down from the second floor, completely devoid of her usual composure.

Feng Mu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he rushed forward in three strides, his face instantly displaying just the right amount of anxiety and concern:

"Madam! What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so panicked?"

Li Hanyu's steps did not falter at all; she rushed straight towards the master bedroom, her voice trembling and choked with uncontrollable sobs, repeating over and over again:

"He's awake... My son is awake! He's awake!"

The sharp, distorted sob, like a boulder thrown into stagnant water, instantly shattered the silence of the entire corridor, spreading outwards like ripples.

The officials who had been whispering in the living room suddenly stopped talking. They looked at each other, their expressions a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, each with their own thoughts.

Some reacted quickly, already standing up and striding down the corridor; others remained frozen in place, their eyes darting around in astonishment.

Du Changle's facial muscles twitched several times, his eyes flashing wildly. He then slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly, forcing two trembling smiles onto his thick cheeks. He rushed to the front of the crowd.

Li Hanyu was running too fast, and she lost her footing. Her high heels twisted violently to one side, and she was about to fall forward.

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Feng Mu reacted quickly and steadily supported her as she fell.

Li Hanyu had to slow down her pace after being helped.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and despite the overwhelming emotional turmoil, her gaze instinctively swept quickly across the corridor.

She scanned Feng Mu's expression, the expressions of his subordinates behind him, and the faces of the government officials who came out of the living room.

Feng Mu's reaction was a textbook example of acting.

The moment the words "My son is awake" pierced his ears, the carefully crafted "anxiety" on his face froze instantly, like a wax figure suddenly doused with ice water.

Immediately afterwards, he stopped abruptly, his body frozen in shock, his muscles beneath his skin seeming to explode with astonishment.

After the initial shock, a blazing "light" almost pierced through Feng Mu's glasses.

"Ward Qian...is awake?!"

Feng Mu gasped in shock, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, tinged with a mixture of fear of waking him from a dream and disbelief.

"Really, Madam?! Warden Qian... he's really awake?!"

He repeated it eagerly, as if he needed to personally confirm this unexpected surprise once again.

That trembling voice, brimming with ecstatic joy, that overflowing excitement, enhanced by [The Deceitful Glasses] and [Proof of Loyalty lv3], seemed to touch the soul even more deeply than Li Hanyu's.

After all, Li Hanyu was acting out his own scheme, while Feng Mu—he truly knew nothing about it!

At least in Li Hanyu's current understanding, this is the truth, an undeniable fact.

Liu Yi and Song Ping'an were instantly stunned into a moment of utter bewilderment!
What the hell?

A level twelve storm instantly swept through their minds, with fragments of information colliding wildly.

What did Madam Li just say—"My son is awake"?
The tone, the state... it's clear she just learned the news.

No, aren't you Warden Qian's mother? How come you only just found out that Warden Qian had woken up? Didn't you call the minister over?

So there's a big problem here!

Liu Yi and Song Ping'an were not confused because Warden Qian had woken up—they already knew he was awake on their way here—but because…was Warden Qian only waking up now?

Could it be... that it wasn't Madam Li who told Minister Qian to wake up and call him, but rather that Minister Qian had some kind of premonition and predicted that Minister Qian would wake up at this time tonight, which is why he brought us here?

The causal order behind this is amazing!

Think about it, think about it carefully, doesn't it make you... feel excited?

What if Warden Qian's awakening wasn't an unexpected medical miracle, but rather something the minister did to wake him up tonight?

What does that mean?
This means that everything... is under the minister's control!
Even more deeply—perhaps the explosion that Warden Qian experienced wasn't an accident, but rather…

Liu Yi had been spending a lot of time with Gong Qi, and all sorts of conspiracy theories suddenly popped into his mind, making him feel as if his blood was boiling.

A surge of electricity, a mixture of astonishment and extreme excitement, instantly coursed through his scalp.

All these complex psychological activities are but a fleeting moment in reality.

The bewilderment on Liu Yi's face quickly faded, replaced by a smile of utter excitement and ecstasy that came from the depths of his soul.

His smile was so bright it was dazzling, so sincere it was almost burning, as if he had heard the most wonderful news in the world.

He grinned, revealing a set of snow-white teeth, his eyes shining with extreme "excitement," and his overall spirit visibly soared.

very good!
Everything is under the minister's control; it's all a conspiracy orchestrated by the minister. It's truly...fantastic!
Liu Yi was genuinely excited about the bright future of the minister and the Second Prison. His expression showed no trace of acting; it was a natural overflow of his immense inner shock and admiration.

And this smile was caught by Li Hanyu, whose eyes were filled with tears as she scanned them.

In Li Hanyu's eyes, this was naturally Liu Yi's genuine feeling of excitement and joy at Qian Huan's awakening.

Song Ping'an's mind wasn't as quick or as "cunning" as Liu Yi's, but it was definitely not stupid either. He kept the minister's instructions in the car firmly in mind at all times.

—We must wholeheartedly welcome Warden Qian's return.

He was stunned for half a second longer than Liu Yi, and then a pure, simple, and genuine smile of surprise and delight spread across his face.

He nodded vigorously, his smile revealing the straightforwardness and sincerity of a commoner from the lower rungs of society, without much guile.

This scene also caught Li Hanyu's eye, naturally earning Feng Mu even more points.

Li Hanyu is a master of performance, deeply versed in the art of acting.

Therefore, she is also good at seeing through other people's performances. Compared to the masks that everyone wears on a daily basis, she believes that the emotional reaction that a person instantly reveals when they suddenly hear unexpected news and are completely unprepared is the hardest to hide.

Now, in her "expert" eyes, the reactions of Feng Mu, Liu Yi, and Song Ping'an showed not a trace of acting.

That overwhelming sense of "realism" made her want to cry. It wasn't that Li Hanyu's eyesight was off; her eyesight was usually quite accurate. But she couldn't withstand Feng Mu's special abilities; he could even change his own aura while acting.

As for Liu Yi and Song Ping'an, their performances were completely natural, a perfect fit for their characters.

They were genuinely happy that Warden Qian had woken up, but the reason for their happiness might have exceeded Li Hanyu's expectations.

Li Hanyu was moved to tears, her heart surging with emotion:
“It’s not just Feng Mu who is loyal; even the subordinates he brought out are so loyal to my son. This is truly remarkable.”

If only Feng Mu were like this, Li Hanyu would probably only sigh again at his loyalty and reliability.

After all, Feng Mu's deeply ingrained image of a "loyal dog" had already been firmly established in her mind through all the previous incidents, so she wasn't surprised.

But what she saw at that moment far exceeded her expectations.

Even the two men Feng Mu brought with him, who seemed to be just ordinary followers, reacted with such fervor and heartfelt excitement the moment they heard that my son Qian Huan had awakened.

The meaning behind this was far more shocking and reassuring to her than Feng Mu's personal loyalty.

This shows that not only was Feng Mu a great loyal minister to his son, but also that the people accompanying him were all great loyal ministers.

Without needing to think too much, this must be thanks to Feng Mu's daily teachings and example.

This also means that Feng Mu must have a large group of loyal ministers around him, just like the followers he is currently with, who are extremely happy to welcome Qian Huan's awakening and return.

This was probably the Internal Inspection Department that Feng Mu established in the Second Prison.

Li Hanyu was filled with mixed emotions:
"My son Qian Huan's wisest move in the Second Prison was to personally discover and promote Feng Mu, and even give him the authority to establish the Internal Investigation Department!"

Yeah……

A surge of immense joy, like a warm torrent, instantly melted away the long-suppressed worries and fears in Li Hanyu's heart.

She was initially worried that her plan to reinstate Qian Huan in the Second Prison would push her son, who had just woken up and was unable to move, into a dangerous situation.

She was afraid that Qian Huan would have no one to rely on except Feng Mu, that he would be all alone in prison, and that those wicked people with ulterior motives would try to harm him again.

But now, looking at these three excited and utterly loyal "loyal ministers" before him, and thinking of the group of "loyal ministers" gathered in the Internal Inspection Department...
The heavy burden on Li Hanyu's heart, though not completely dissipated in an instant, melted away much of it, much like the spring sun shining on snow.

A strong sense of confidence welled up within her.

With Feng Mu setting an example and protecting him, and with a group of loyal ministers from the Inner Surveillance Department at his disposal, even if my son Qian Huan were to stay in a fish tank, he would still be able to command the two prisons and regain power.

no problem!
There will absolutely be no problem!

Feng Mu and his loyal and capable generals from the Internal Inspection Department will surely protect my son Qian Huan like an impregnable fortress.

Oh ~
Oh, and we also need to get started immediately on tripling the thickness of the blast-proof glass wall in the warden's office.

This time we need to surround it with six layers of barriers, no, even six layers might not be secure enough...

As Li Hanyu's thoughts raced, her gaze swept over the group of officials peeking in at the entrance to the living room, catching a glimpse of the mask-like smiles plastered on their faces.

I lingered a little longer on Du Changle's fake smile, feeling that the performance was too obvious and the fakeness was nauseating.

Feng Mu also turned his head and glanced at Du Changle.

The lens flashed slightly, clearly reflecting the maliciously highlighted mark above the other person's head.

When Du Changle saw Feng Mu looking over, his smile became even more like that of Maitreya Buddha. Feng Mu looked away and followed Li Hanyu into the ward that had been converted from a bedroom.

Inside the enormous medicated tub, Qian Huan slowly opened her eyes, her neck stiffly turning, her gaze unfocused, as if she had not yet fully regained consciousness.

Li Hanyu rushed to him like a gust of wind, pressed her hands hard against the cold walls of the vat, and tears streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.
"My son...you...you've finally woken up!"

Qian Huan blinked her heavy eyelids with difficulty, her lips parted slightly, and a single word, hoarse as if being rubbed with sandpaper, escaped her throat:

"mom……?"

This single word was like igniting a fuse.

Li Hanyu completely broke down, and all her emotions turned into heart-wrenching sobs.

The cries were so heart-wrenching and sorrowful that they truly broke the hearts of those who heard them and brought tears to the eyes of those who saw them.

Feng Mu stood quietly half a step behind Li Hanyu, gazing at the "heart-wrenching" scene before him.

He seemed to be moved by this immense joy and sorrow as well, raising his hand to gently remove his glasses and wiping away the barely perceptible moisture from the corner of his eye with his fingertip.

A line of text slowly scrolled across my retina:

[Second Prison (may be partially missing and expanded)]
[Second Prison Control Progress Update!]
[Current control level 96% → 97%!]
[New record added to event log:]

Qian Huan woke up, right in front of everyone. (Completeness +1%)

(P.S.: If a person wakes up and no one witnesses it, it's not truly awake; just as if one is alive, but merely lives alone in silence, it's no different from being dead.)
The strong smell of disinfectant in the bedroom was dispelled by a more intangible scent called power.

The officials who had been crowding at the entrance tacitly parted to make way for a passage.

Wang Xinfa and Lu Chenjia walked in, and the two of them subtly surveyed the scene inside the room.

Li Hanyu had just gone through an emotional storm, and her body was still trembling slightly. She vigorously wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, trying to wipe away the torrent of tears, but it only made her red and swollen eyes more obvious.

Inside the treatment tank, Qian Huan floated, his body gently secured by a complex network of tubing. He laboriously tilted his head back to look at the two of them.

"Good, it's good that you're awake."

Wang Xinfa gazed at his "good son" in the fish tank, who was not related to him by blood, and a fatherly love spread across his face.

Lu Chenjia took a perfectly timed half-step forward, her voice carrying clearly into every corner of the room:
"Qian Huan, I never expected you to wake up. You are truly blessed with good fortune and a long life."

You have no idea how much Councilor Wang worried about you and your prison while you were unconscious.

Qian Huan's face still showed the confusion of just waking up. He blinked, seemingly still trying to piece together the fragments of his memory before he fell into a coma.

He glanced at General Manager Lu, then at Councilor Wang, and muttered to himself:

"Second Prison? The 'Octagon Plan'? I..."

The next second, as if remembering something important, he suddenly looked at Li Hanyu, his voice filled with anxiety:
"Mom! Why can't I move? How long have I been lying here?"

Before his mother could answer, he quickly turned back:

"General Manager Lu, Councilor Wang, don't worry, I've woken up. I'll return to the Second Prison as soon as possible and I promise I won't let our 'Octagon Cage Plan' fail..."
