Chapter 22: Lone Wolf
This cry of "big brother" left all the prisoners in the cell dumbfounded.
Such a ruthless character, unexpectedly calling someone else "big brother," was undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.
However, what shocked the prisoners even more was what happened next. The strong man actually bent down, bowing respectfully to Xiao Feng: "It's really you, big brother!"
The excitement in his voice and the tears shimmering in his eyes gave those who saw the strong man's expression a chill.
The ferocity of the strong man needed no further mention, yet here was an executioner whose hands were stained with blood, now bowing to a young man and calling him "big brother." What kind of formidable person must the young man in the death row cell be?!
For a moment, whispering broke out in all the prison cells.
"What's going on?!"
"Isn't it said that entering the death row cell means certain death? Could the curse be about to be broken?"
"The key is still in that young man. Didn't you hear that fierce guy call him big brother?"
Just as the prisoners were discussing heatedly, Xiao Feng stood up and spoke: "Lone Wolf, I didn't expect us brothers to meet again so soon."
The "Lone Wolf" that Xiao Feng referred to was a brother who had fought alongside him on the battlefields of the Middle East, their friendship formed by blood.
Although Xiao Feng was younger than Lone Wolf, due to his formidable combat skills and the fact that he had saved Lone Wolf's life multiple times, Lone Wolf insisted on calling Xiao Feng "big brother."
At first, it was naturally awkward, but Xiao Feng got used to it over time and accepted it calmly.
At this moment, Lone Wolf stepped forward excitedly, saying, "I didn't expect to see you here, big brother. Come, let's go to my place for a drink, and we brothers will drink till we're drunk tonight."
With that, he led the way amid the stunned gazes of all the prisoners and went to his own "private room."
It's called a "private room" because it really doesn't look like something you'd find in a prison.
Not only is it much more spacious than other cells, but it also has everything inside, including a TV, a computer, and even a treadmill. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a star-rated hotel.
"The conditions are pretty good." Xiao Feng looked around the room and smiled, "You're living quite comfortably, aren't you?"
Lone Wolf scratched his head and smiled bashfully, "If I did poorly, wouldn't it embarrass you, big brother? I just didn't want to deal with those people outside, so I came in to enjoy some peace and quiet. Why are you in here, big brother?"
In Lone Wolf's view, there must be a reason for Xiao Feng to enter the prison because he knew perfectly well that there was nowhere in this world that could contain his big brother.
"To hide out in here for peace and quiet?" Xiao Feng said admiringly, "You really know how to choose your places."
After finishing, he explained, "As for how I ended up here, it's a long story, but to put it simply, I was framed."
Lone Wolf's eyes widened in disbelief: "You're not joking, are you, big brother? Someone dared to frame you? They must be tired of living."
Xiao Feng nodded seriously, "I'm telling the truth..."
Then he briefly informed Lone Wolf about what had happened at the Zhonghao Hotel.
Upon hearing this, Lone Wolf immediately flipped out, saying grimly, "It seems that Zhou Dong and that Shen kid don't want to live anymore. Daring to provoke big brother, I'll go deal with those two brats tonight."
"No, no, no." Xiao Feng quickly stopped him, indicating that it wasn't the time for final reckoning yet.
He knew Lone Wolf's temper; if he didn't stop him, it was hard to say whether Shen Tianze would die, but Zhou Dong definitely wouldn't see the light of day tomorrow.
In fact, even up until now, Xiao Feng hadn't planned on killing Zhou Dong outright because, after all, he was his second uncle's only heir, and it wouldn't be right to do something so final, even for his uncle's sake.
Of course, letting it go so easily wasn't an option either.
"Enough of that, I'll have someone send over food and drink, and we'll have a good time, brothers." Lone Wolf picked up the phone on the wall, pressed a series of numbers, and arrogantly ordered, "Prepare a table of good food and drink and bring it to my room. Make sure there are plenty of hearty dishes."
Before long, the door of the private room was opened, Xiao Feng's eyes moved over and found that the food delivery person was the Prison Warden who had led him to the cell during the day, essentially the head of this place.
Upon seeing Xiao Feng in the room, the Prison Warden was clearly terrified, his hand shaking as he placed the food on the table.
"Don't be nervous; debts have their origins, you were just following orders, I won't do anything to you," Xiao Feng said with some amusement.
"With those words, I'm relieved." The Prison Warden nodded repeatedly in agreement, but still appeared unable to completely relax.
He had seen the tragic state of someone who had died under Lone Wolf's hand before, and now that Lone Wolf clearly displayed such a reverent attitude towards this young man, he was truly afraid that Xiao Feng might just say the word and Lone Wolf would take his life without hesitation.
After the three sat down, they started drinking, but while the Prison Warden became more tongue-tied the more he drank, Xiao Feng and Lone Wolf showed no signs of losing their composure.
After three rounds of drinks and five different dishes, each of the three had consumed a bottle of liquor.
Lone Wolf shook the bottle upside down at the Prison Warden, saying, "No more wine, bring a few more bottles over."
Xiao Feng watched silently from the side, knowing that Lone Wolf wanted to get the Prison Warden drunk first so they could speak freely afterward.
The Prison Warden gave an apologetic smile, his tongue heavy, and said, "I, I am out too, but I do know a place that has wine, just not sure if brother Wolf dares to go."
Lone Wolf waved his hand boldly, "Nonsense, there is no place that my brothers and I dare not go, just tell us where."
"Two miles south of here, there's a winery, where all the wine is top quality; whites, beers, spirits," the Prison Warden said. "Any wine you can name, that winery has it."
"Moreover, I heard that the owner of the winery recently bought a bottle of wine worth tens of millions at an auction."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng became interested; a bottle of wine worth tens of millions, this wasn't just good wine, it was luxurious wine!
And at that moment, the drunk Prison Warden took out car keys from his pocket and slapped them onto the table, "If you want to go, take my car."
Lone Wolf's eyes brightened, and he looked at Xiao Feng for confirmation, "Big brother?"
Xiao Feng picked up the keys and pocketed them, "What are we waiting for? Let's go now and see what kind of wine is worth tens of millions."
Lone Wolf was overjoyed, "Haha, I knew you'd be interested, big brother. Let's go, let's go."
The two walked out of the private room arm in arm, leaving only the Prison Warden lying on the table, drunk senseless.
