The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

But at this moment...

His expression, however, was not as calm as usual; instead, it carried a hint of irritability and gloom.

If you look closely, it's slightly distorted.

How can I not feel annoyed?

It's been half a month already...

Wu Xiuyan seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, never appearing in front of him again.

He also released several messages in between.

But each time, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with absolutely no response.

now...

Even if he were stupid, he would know that his secret funds had most likely been stolen!

However, the awkward thing is...

He had no choice but to confront his backers and dared not reveal the truth to them.

after all...

Secret funds have been hacked...

If the investors find out, not to mention how to recover the money, just the fact that he didn't handle things well will make him regret it!

besides...

Even if the money is recovered later, he can forget about being reused by his investors.

so...

He's going to have to swallow this bitter pill now.

The only way to break the deadlock is to keep it a secret from the investors and then find a way to recover the secret funds himself!

only...

That's easier said than done.

Think of this...

Du Yuanfeng couldn't contain his anger any longer, and he almost ground his back teeth to powder!

I've been cautious my whole life...

He had hunted geese his whole life, but in his old age, he was accidentally pecked blind in one eye by a goose!

hateful!

That woman, Wu Xiuyan, is really asking for it!

Time passed...

Feeling the room was too quiet, Zhang Shanwu couldn't help but yawn and started a conversation: "Old man, why have you been looking so gloomy lately? Did you fail to accomplish something?"

Hear the words.

Du Yuanfeng's eyes twitched, and his face became even more gloomy, but he still didn't say a word.

He's not in the mood to chat right now!

Undeterred, Zhang Shanwu sat up abruptly from the bed, leaning slightly forward, and pressed on, "What exactly happened? Tell me, maybe I can help?"

It's not that he lacks discernment.

Moreover, he has asked this question many times during this period.

But I never received a reply.

In the past, we would just calculate it directly...

However, he was in a very good mood today, so he was determined to get to the bottom of things.

"call--"

Du Yuanfeng let out a soft breath, finally showing some reaction. He slowly turned his head to look at Zhang Shanwu, and asked a question that seemed unrelated: "If I remember correctly, you should be almost out of prison, right?"

"Forehead..."

Zhang Shanwu was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his smile, even appearing more cheerful than before: "Yes, I've been counting down the days, and I only have thirteen days left in my sentence!"

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and in less than two weeks he will be completely free!

in addition...

During this time, he also earned a lot of dividends in this prison casino.

You could say...

Even if he does nothing after he gets out of prison, he'll still have enough to live a life of debauchery for a long time...

So how could I not be happy?

Think of this...

Zhang Shanwu tilted his head back, grinned, and even his voice unconsciously rose a little, saying with a hint of excitement, "I've had enough of being here. Once I get out, I'm going to have a good time!"

After hearing what he said...

Du Yuanfeng, who still had a few years left in his sentence, showed no particular emotion on his face...

There was neither envy nor jealousy...

He simply lowered his eyes and fell silent, as if deep in thought...

Seeing that he remained silent, Zhang Shanwu pouted in boredom, stretched, and lay back down, his head resting on his arms, his eyes fixed intently on the ceiling...

His face was beaming with joy, and he was already imagining the wonderful life he would have after his release from prison...

After a while...

Du Yuanfeng seemed to have finally figured something out. His eyes lit up, and he looked up at Zhang Shanwu, saying, "Shanwu, could you do me a favor after you get out?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Shanwu snapped out of his daze, turned to look at him, and smiled, "Why are you being so polite? Old man, just tell me what you want me to do..."

"hehe..."

Du Yuanfeng was unusually cheerful for a long time, and he chuckled.

After laughing for a while.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, when he suddenly heard a series of light, rhythmic footsteps outside the door, growing ever closer...

The special cells are located in relatively secluded areas.

Normally, no one comes here.

Du Yuanfeng immediately shut his mouth, frowned, and turned to look at the door...

next moment.

A man in a prison guard uniform appeared at the door...

He was short and plain-looking, but a hint of greed would occasionally flash in his eyes.

It was Heo Sang-soo, the warden of this prison.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Du Yuanfeng's furrowed brows immediately relaxed, replaced by a kind expression as he smiled and prepared to greet them...

However...

Xu Shangxiu, however, kept a straight face, glanced at the two people in the cell, and immediately stepped aside, leaving the cell door open.

Immediately afterwards...

A figure with an arrogant smile, flamboyant demeanor, and an air of unbridled recklessness slowly walked in.

Upon seeing the person who came...

Du Yuanfeng's eyes narrowed instantly, and the smile on his face froze.

Even when he saw the warden, Zhang Shanwu remained completely unconcerned, leaning against the bed...

But as if he had been caught by the tail, the expression on his face instantly changed from casual to restrained. He hurriedly got out of bed, straightened up, and then bowed ninety degrees, saying, "Executive Director-General!"

That's right...

The person who arrived was none other than Ding Xin!

After entering the cell, he completely ignored Zhang Shanwu's greeting, as if he didn't see the two people inside, and casually looked around.

Don't even say it...

Although small, this cell is fully equipped and has a unique layout!

Not only does it have a separate bathroom, but it even has a computer desk...

It looks just like an apartment building.

so...

In capitalist countries, it's true that if you have money and power, you can live comfortably anywhere!
