Cell Number One's door was opened.
"Is the alcohol here?"
Ye Zixiao asked, his back to the door.
The胖狱警 hesitated, instinctively glancing at the warden. He saw that the warden, who always wore a stern expression, now displayed a hint of excitement, even a trace of gentleness.
"What exactly is going on?"
The胖狱警 felt he was truly going mad.
The warden remained silent, instead waving his hand at the胖狱警. The胖狱警 blinked, then took two steps back, bowing slightly. He watched as the warden adjusted his attire and walked into Cell Number One.
The胖狱警's face was filled with astonishment.
He then saw the warden point at the large iron door.
The胖狱警 blinked again, then with a subservient nod, he stepped forward and gently closed the large iron door, but did not lock it. He wasn't foolish; he didn't dare to lock the warden inside the cell.
"Is the alcohol here?"
Ye Zixiao asked again without turning his head.
"It will be here shortly."
The warden walked around to face Ye Zixiao.
"Hm?"
Ye Zixiao looked up and saw an exceptionally beautiful woman standing before him. He was initially excited, but after a moment of appraisal, he frowned and even stood up.
"Mr. Ye, what is it?"
The beautiful warden actually smiled.
"Have we met before?"
Ye Zixiao genuinely found her familiar.
"Yes, we have met."
"Where did we meet?"
"Many places."
"Uh!"
Ye Zixiao was utterly bewildered. He circled the warden twice, becoming increasingly convinced that he had met her, but he couldn't recall when or where.
"Your name is Ye Zixiao?"
The warden asked a question to which she already knew the answer.
"What do you mean?"
Ye Zixiao was growing more confused.
"Guess what my name is?"
"Guess if I can guess it?"
"Hahahahaha…"
The beautiful warden let out a bright laugh. She, too, circled Ye Zixiao twice, finally blinking her beautiful large eyes and saying, "What a coincidence, my surname is also Ye. My name is Ye Ziruo."
"Ah?"
Ye Zixiao's body trembled.
He felt this name was very familiar.
"My name is Ye Ziruo."
The warden nodded with a smile.
"Ye Ziruo?"
"Yes, Ye Ziruo."
"You, you you you…"
"Continue."
"You, you're my cousin?"
"Brother, I am your cousin."
"Heavens above, you're alive?"
"I'm alive, I'm still alive. Not only am I alive, but my father is also alive. We have been hiding our identities all these years to find the truth of that year. And now, brother, we have found out everything."
Ye Ziruo's eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.
Ye Zixiao felt his scalp tingle as he listened!
Who was Ye Ziruo? She was Ye Zixiao's paternal cousin, the daughter of Ye Zixiao's second uncle, Ye Hanye. Back then, when the Ye family was being hunted by the Heavenly God Society, his second uncle and cousin had disappeared.
Since then, there had been no news!
Not long ago, in the country of Wu, Ye Zixiao had learned a shocking piece of information from the dying Wu King: his second uncle, Ye Hanye, was still alive and was also an assassin for the Heavenly God Society.
The Wu King's implication was clear.
He meant that Ye Zixiao's long-sought mortal enemy might very well be his own second uncle. Of course, Ye Zixiao did not believe the Wu King's words, nor did he believe his second uncle would be the Ye family's mortal enemy.
Ye Zixiao's voluntary surrender this time.
Actually, had only one purpose.
That was to force his father to come out of seclusion.
Yes, Ye Zixiao had investigated for a long time but hadn't uncovered much about the Heavenly God Society. However, Ye Zixiao had reason to believe that the current Commander of the State Protection Bureau was definitely connected to the Heavenly God Society.
Or perhaps.
Commander Jin was the leader of the Heavenly God Society.
Ye Zixiao was a madman, someone who feared nothing, but he was also self-aware. He didn't believe that with his current strength, he could defeat the powerful First Commander.
Therefore.
Ye Zixiao surrendered voluntarily.
He knew very well that his father would not come out of seclusion unless it was absolutely necessary. However, if he were captured or if his life were in danger, his father might appear.
Even if it was only a possibility.
He had to try.
But what Ye Zixiao never dreamed of was that as soon as he was imprisoned, before he even knew what would happen next, he would encounter his long-lost cousin in this high-security prison!
The year the Ye family was hunted.
Cousin Ye Ziruo was only a little over five years old.
Ye Ziruo wasn't lying; they had met many times in many places. Of course, they were siblings, childhood playmates, so of course, they had met many, many times.
But they hadn't seen each other for so many years.
Ye Zixiao truly dared not acknowledge her!
"Is my second uncle alright?"
"He's fine, just living a tiring life."
"Why is he in hiding?"
"To get close to Commander Jin."
"Is Second Uncle really a member of the Heavenly God Society?"
"Yes, he joined later."
"So, my father knows my second uncle is alive, and knows what you are doing? Or perhaps, my father arranged everything long ago, and only I didn't know, is that right?"
"You could put it that way."
"Alright!"
Ye Zixiao sat down on the ground weakly.
He understood now. The reason his father had kept all this a secret was to ensure his safety, including sending him to the mountains to live in seclusion for eight years, also to hide his identity.
But the situation had changed.
His second uncle had gotten close to the truth and had reported everything to his father. That's why his father had agreed to let him descend the mountain, allowed him to do as he pleased, and didn't worry about his life being in danger.
Why?
Because someone had always been protecting him.
His five senior sisters had all become important figures.
And there was the help of people like Tang Keke.
As for Tang Keke, Ye Zixiao had roughly guessed that she was either a former maid from his family or a secret agent trained by his father. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cared for and looked after him so much for no reason.
Forget it!
No more thinking!
Since everything was destined.
He would do as his father wished!
"I want a smoke."
"Alright."
"I want some alcohol."
"Coming right up."
"Sister."
"Brother."
"What do we do now?"
"Break out of prison first."
"And then?"
"Then, we gather all the people we can, unite all the forces we can, and we will repay our national hatred and family vengeance in front of the entire world."
"Is the main target Commander Jin?"
"Commander Jin is just a puppet."
"Then who is the mastermind?"
"The King of the Allied Nations!"
"Understood!"
With all the truth revealed, Ye Zixiao let out a long sigh. Although he was still somewhat confused, he truly didn't intend to think about it anymore. From now on, he would just follow his father's arrangements.
The cigarettes arrived.
The alcohol arrived.
Aside from a woman, he could have anything he wanted.
That night, the prisoners did not witness the usual death matches, but most of them did not find it strange. After all, the newcomer was the monster locked in Cell Number One!
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning.
All the inmates in the entire prison were uniformly assembled in the large square. The prisoners were very confused. The prison guards were also puzzled. They didn't know why the warden had assembled everyone.
Ten minutes later…
The warden ascended the high platform.
Accompanying the warden on the stage.
Was Ye Zixiao, who had arrived yesterday?!
"What's going on?"
"Damn, who is that person?"
"That's Ye Zixiao!"
"Am I dreaming?"
"Heh, hehehe…"
Upon seeing the warden and Ye Zixiao ascend the stage together, the prisoners let out an unprecedented uproar. No one could comprehend why the warden would stand with the monster from Cell Number One.
"Do you want to get out?"
Ye Ziruo suddenly said into the microphone.
