Chapter 60: You Want to Escape?

  After finishing breakfast, all the prisoners began to work. Some swept the floor, some wiped the tables and chairs, and some tidied up bowls and chopsticks. Tang Xiaosheng, being new, was assigned to clean the toilet, which is said to be a rule in the detention center.

  Unfortunately, he met Hu Dajiang in the toilet. Hu Dajiang was also locked up here just the day before yesterday and was also a newcomer, so he had to wash the toilet too.

  "Never thought we'd meet here." Hu Dajiang recognized Tang Xiaosheng at a glance, walked up with a toilet brush in hand and said with a smile, "I heard you killed Xia Bai, you're quite ruthless, kid."

  Tang Xiaosheng didn't speak, and Hu Dajiang also had some grudges against him. The other party suddenly came to find him, possibly with ill intentions. To avoid conflict, he decided to be low-key, avoiding as much as possible, enduring as much as possible, after all, this was a prison cell, not a place for trouble.

  He picked up a toilet brush, walked slowly to the edge of the toilet, squatted down, and then began silently brushing the toilet.

  However, Hu Dajiang seemed to have no intention of letting him off, and immediately came over, squatting beside him, brushing the toilet with him, and asked: "Where did you learn your kung fu? Last time at Nanfeng Mountain, I thought your skills were quite good."

  Tang Xiaosheng still didn't speak, continuing to focus on scrubbing the toilet.

  "But no matter how good your kung fu is, it's useless now! You're probably going to spend the rest of your life here for intentional homicide." Hu Dajiang said.

  Tang Xiaosheng remained silent, he also found it a bit strange, where did Hu Dajiang get so many useless words? He had thought that Hu Dajiang was coming to make trouble for him, but after all the fuss, it seemed that there wasn't much hostility from the other side.

  "Do you want to leave this place?" At this time, Hu Dajiang suddenly leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice.

  As soon as he heard this, Tang Xiaosheng was taken aback, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said lightly: "What do you mean?"

  Hu Dajiang turned his head, scanned around and confirmed that there were no prison guards nearby. He then said in a low voice: "To be honest with you, I plan to escape, but it's not easy for me to do it alone. I think you're quite capable, if we work together, our chances of success will be much higher."

  Tang Xiaosheng fell silent for a moment before speaking in a light tone: "You want to escape from prison?"

  "Shh! Keep your voice down!" Hu Dajiang reminded cautiously, paused for a moment, and then asked, "How about it? Are you interested? You're guilty of intentional homicide, at the very least you'll get sentenced to 30 years in prison, or maybe even death penalty. If we can escape, this deal is a sure win."

  As for Hu Dajiang's proposal, Tang Xiaosheng was not interested. If he wanted to escape, he would have done so with Little Dragon Girl last night and wouldn't be waiting until now. However, he was still a bit curious about Hu Dajiang and asked: "Why do you want to escape?"

  "You don't need to worry about this anymore, right? Just tell me if you want to go out or not?" Hu Dajiang asked again.

  Tang Xiaosheng saw that he was hiding something, so he didn't want to say much and continued to scrub the toilet in silence.

  Hu Dajiang was taken aback for a moment, perhaps also feeling that his invitation this time was not sincere enough. He slowed down and sighed: "Okay, I'll tell the truth, it's for my father..."

  It turned out that Hu Dajiang wanted to escape in order to raise money for his father's medical treatment. Two days ago, he kidnapped Guo Yixiang and Tang Xiaosheng also to raise medical expenses for his father who suffered from leukemia. Now, he is locked up here, and the medical expenses for his father have no solution.

  Hu Dajiang is guilty of kidnapping, although he has not been sentenced yet, but he will definitely spend a few years in prison. A few years in prison, he can wait slowly, but his father's illness cannot wait. If it is not treated in time, his father may be in danger of losing his life. It is precisely because of this that Hu Dajiang wants to take the risk of escaping from prison and then find a way to raise money for his father's medical treatment.

  "Kidnapping is a serious crime to begin with, and now you're rioting and escaping from prison. I reckon you'll be spending the rest of your life behind bars." Tang Xiaosheng reminded him in a soft voice after hearing Hu Dajiang's explanation.

  "What can I do, just sit back and watch my father die?" Hu Dajiang sighed helplessly, his tone changing again as he asked once more, "I've told you everything I can say, kid, are you coming with me or not?"

  From the first time he met Hu Dajiang, Tang Xiaosheng had a good impression of him. Although they had clashed head-on on Nanfeng Mountain, Tang Xiaosheng could see that Hu Dajiang was actually not a bad person, but not a treacherous and evil one either. Not to mention anything else, just his filial piety towards his father was something many people couldn't do. Now, for the sake of treating his father's illness, he was willing to take risks, even at the cost of sacrificing his own freedom for life, Tang Xiaosheng admired him from the bottom of his heart.

  "I can help you." Tang Xiaosheng said calmly after a moment of contemplation.

  "Good, I didn't misjudge you, you kid really have guts." Hu Dajiang gave him a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "Since you're willing to cooperate, I'll make arrangements. In a few days we'll take action, at that time..."

  "You misunderstood, I didn't plan on going with you." Tang Xiaosheng interrupted.

  Hu Dajiang was taken aback: "What do you mean? Didn't you say you could help me?"

  Tang Xiaosheng said: "I can indeed help you, but not to help you escape from prison, but to help you raise money for your father's illness. After I leave here, I will help you with this matter."

  Hearing this, Hu Dajiang couldn't help but laugh and said: "You little brat is joking, you are guilty of intentional homicide, your crime is even heavier than mine. By the time you get out, my father will have been dead long ago."

  Tang Xiaosheng said calmly: "You're wrong, I'll be leaving here soon, I'm innocent."

  "Are you serious?"

  "Time will tell whether it's true or false. So, I advise you not to escape, it's not worth it, otherwise, your life will be truly over." Tang Xiaosheng said seriously.

  Hu Dajiang listened to his tone and didn't seem to be joking, so he paused for a moment and asked strangely: "Why are you willing to help me?"

  "Does helping others need a reason?" Tang Xiaosheng shrugged and smiled.

  Hu Dajiang rubbed his nose, thought for a moment, and then said: "Alright, I'll believe you for now. If you can really get out, and if you can really help me raise money after you're out, in the future when there's a need, Hu Dajiang will brave boiling water and raging fire, and won't decline!"

  Tang Xiaosheng said lightly: "You're being too serious."

  After finishing speaking, continue to clean the toilet.

  Hu Dajiang carefully sized up Tang Xiaosheng for a few moments, furrowed his brow and said with some puzzlement: "I don't know why, but from the first time I saw you at Nanfeng Mountain, I felt like I'd seen you before, but just can't remember who you are."

  "Is that so?" Tang Xiaosheng said calmly. Hu Dajiang had once worked as a security guard in the psychiatric hospital's inpatient department, and he must have seen Tang Xiaosheng before, no wonder he felt familiar.

  "Xiao Sheng Tang!"

  Just then, a prison guard suddenly walked in and shouted loudly. Hearing the call, Tang Xiaosheng quickly stood up and politely replied, "Report to the officer, I am Tang Xiaosheng."

  "Are you Tang Xiaosheng, who committed intentional homicide?"

  "Yes, officer." Tang Xiaosheng said loudly. The detention center was under military management, so he had to speak to the prison guard in this way.

  The police officer looked him up and down, nodded and said: "You're quite bold, even daring to kill Long Tianhao's son-in-law." He paused for a moment, then turned around and said: "Go to the No. 4 meeting room immediately, your defense lawyer has arrived."

  "Alright, officer!"

  Xiao Longnu's efficiency is indeed impressive, last night Tang Xiaosheng just mentioned the lawyer to her, and today the lawyer arrived. Then, Tang Xiaosheng put down the toilet brush in his hand and went to the meeting room of the detention center to meet with the lawyer.
