The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 253

[Chapter 253: Prison Break]

If it were normal, Xu Wenxuan would have quarreled with Lin Tian long ago after being ridiculed by him.

But at this moment, he was immersed in his own thoughts, frowning and not speaking.

“So, what are you going to do, Brother Lin?”

Xu Wenxuan said, and put his eyes on Lin Tian.

“It’s useless for me to take that guy. He looks like a nobody. Just bring him back to do hard labor for a few days.”

Lin Tian said.

The governor was fat and looked like he couldn’t carry anything on his shoulders or hands. Even if he took this guy, it wouldn’t be of much use. It would

be better to let him suffer for a few days and then let him go, so that they would know the details.

“Isn’t this too easy for him?!”

Lin Kang was the first to be dissatisfied.

The governor should have been the nine Zhu clans, but now he was caught by Lin Tian to do hard labor for a few days and then let him go. Isn’t that too easy for him?

“This is called fattening the prey before eating.”

Lin Tian explained with a smile.

“If I don’t do it, this guy will be rescued in peace.”

Indeed, if he doesn’t do it, the governor will be rescued by the people behind him.

By then, they will have no news at all.

“But…”

“There is nothing we can do about it. It’s decided. Leave the construction of the dam to us.”

Lin Kang wanted to say more, but Xu Wenxuan interrupted him.

He also knew that according to the current situation, this was all Lin Tian could do.

If he secretly killed the governor, it would probably alert the enemy and make the people behind him notice them.

So even if he knew that he was letting the tiger go back to the mountain, he had to do it.

“Why are you so sad? Believe in me, I can do anything!”

Lin Tian patted his chest.

“Okay, okay, get ready early. If you are a step late, you will regret it!”

Seeing that Lin Tian still wanted to brag, Xu Wenxuan smiled and pushed him, urging him to get ready quickly.

“How dare you talk to me like that? I’ll come back to deal with you!”

Lin Tian was about to kick him in anger, but Xu Wenxuan had already dodged.

After laughing and scolding for a few words, Lin Tian began to pack up his things. After eating something to fill his stomach, he got up and returned to the capital.

In the past few days, they have been shuttling back and forth between the capital and Ningjiang City, and the way back and forth has long been familiar to them.

Lin Tian rushed all day and night, and finally arrived in the capital at midnight.

The guards in the sky prison are very strict. There are guards patrolling almost every ten steps. The whole sky prison is like an airtight iron barrel.

“How do you get in?”

Lin Tian squinted his eyes and sighed. These people even took turns to change shifts.

Looking at the patrolling guards passing by him one after another, Lin Tian crouched and hid behind a big tree, not daring to even breathe.

The guards here are not as strong as other places. In the whole Chu, except for the palace, the guards here are the most strict.

After all, the prisoners here are all death row prisoners. If one of them is released, the consequences will be disastrous!

“Meow~”

Just as Lin Tian was thinking hard, a strange cat cry suddenly came from a corner next to him.

In the silent night, this cat cry was particularly harsh and immediately attracted the attention of the guards.

“Who is there?!”

said a guard who seemed to be the leader.

“Let’s go and take a look. You guys keep watch!”

said another person who seemed to be of higher official rank than him. Everyone was very vigilant.

The others nodded seriously and asked that person to lead a small team of guards to the place where the cat cried.

“Ah–“

Unfortunately, not long after they passed by, another scream came, and the whole situation became chaotic.

“Someone is robbing the prison!”

“Tighten your guards and don’t let anyone break in!”

The footsteps of the guards came one after another, and the screams were endless.

Lin Tian lowered his head and said nothing. It seemed that he had met another person on a narrow road.

Just when everyone was attracted to the other side, Lin Tian saw an opening and flashed into the prison.

This move is called luring the tiger away from the mountain!

“It’s really easy to get it.”

Lin Tian muttered in a low voice, while pulling a jailer who passed by him.

The jailer stared at Lin Tian with his eyes wide open. He wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered tightly by Lin Tian, and he couldn’t even breathe out.

“Be quiet!”

The jailer kept making whining sounds, and Lin Tian was worried that such noise would attract others, so he knocked him out directly.

He was lucky enough to find this unlucky guy who was about the same size as him, so he quickly stripped off his clothes.

Then he changed his clothes to himself.

“Looks like a decent guy.”

Lin Tian whispered, and took the long knife in his hand. He

found a place where no one was around to hide the jailer, and Lin Tian walked out in a decent manner.

Because his movements were so natural, even though there were people coming and going around, no one noticed his abnormality.

“Why did you come back now? If you are caught, you will have to suffer!”

Just as Lin Tian was walking to find the cell where the governor was imprisoned, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

It seems that this jailer is here to take over for someone else.

“I ate something wrong and my stomach is uncomfortable. I was delayed on the way for a while. There are people robbing the prison outside. We have to be careful!”

Lin Tian said with a pinched throat.

The man did not suspect anything, but focused on the second half of Lin Tian’s words.

“I’m afraid that group of people’s target is this guy inside. This guy is a ruthless character. He is just a governor, but he actually embezzled a full 100,000 silvers!”

The jailer said, patting Lin Tian on the shoulder and asking him to be alert.

“So many! You have to watch carefully!”

Lin Tian looked surprised, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

He was probably lucky today!

“You kid, be careful, I’m going out first!”

The jailer looked like an elder brother. After admonishing Lin Tian, he searched the area nearby for any abnormalities, and then went out cautiously.

Unfortunately, he was knocked unconscious as soon as he turned around.

Then a figure immediately rushed to Lin Tian’s side and stabbed Lin Tian in the back of his neck.

Lin Tian’s body immediately fell limp.

“A bunch of useless stuff!”

The dark shadow spat disdainfully, rang the key on the jailer’s body, and opened the cell door without much effort.
