Perhaps the heavens were looking out for these youths. Amidst the thick smoke, Chen Haonan suddenly heard a faint knocking sound coming from not far ahead. They were still alive! Chen Haonan was overjoyed. He followed the sound and ran over quickly. At the same time, Guan Liang used up his last bit of strength. However, the familiar smiling face that suddenly appeared from the watchtower on the iron gate made Guan Liang unable to hold back his tears. "Brother Haonan, you're finally here. I knew you'd come to save us!”
Duanmu Feng, Tian Hao, and Li Qiwen were shocked when they saw Chen Haonan appear at the door. They didn't expect Chen Haonan to come and save them without caring about his own life. At the same time, they felt ashamed.
"Thanks to your knocking, I was able to rush over. Brothers, hold on, I'll save you now!”Looking at the five people who were on the verge of death, Chen Haonan hurriedly covered the handle of the door, wanting to save them. The iron handle had become scalding hot after being baked at high temperatures. The moment Chen Haonan's hand touched the handle, he instinctively retracted his hand. However, without any hesitation, Chen Haonan shook her hand without hesitation. A puff of green smoke rose, and the smell of roasted meat rushed into Guan Liang's nostrils.
Brother Nan, are you alright?"
"I'm fine!" Chen Haonan gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He squeezed out a smile.
Hearing the sound of Chen Haonan trying his best to break the door, Li Qiwen, who had fallen to the ground, shouted in surprise,""Is he planning to force the door open by himself?”
"It's useless! Just now, the three of us used our strength together, but the door didn't even budge, let alone him!”Tian Hao laughed bitterly, his tone filled with dejection.
As soon as Tian Hao finished speaking, Chen Haonan's angry roar came from outside the door.""Are you brats giving up now? Are your lives so cheap that they are not worth cherishing? If you don't even cherish yourself, who do you expect to cherish you?”In the raging flames, the quilt on Chen Haonan's body had been completely baked dry and completely lost its function. Chen Haonan had no choice but to throw away the quilt and expose himself to the high temperature.
As soon as he threw away the quilt, a loud explosion came from not far away. The explosion set off a fire snake that attacked Chen Haonan. The raging flames tore at Chen Haonan's clothes, and the wildly dancing heat wave made Chen Haonan unable to breathe. However, Chen Haonan's determination to save her did not waver at all.
On the grass in front of the office building, a figure was squatting on the ground anxiously searching for something. "It's right here. I clearly remember throwing the key here!”Ren Shujie carefully checked every withered grass, afraid that he might miss something. The heavens paid off. Under the illumination of the fire, a bright spot appeared in front of Ren Shujie.
"Found it! Found it!" Ren Shujie's face was full of excitement as he held the key tightly in his palm.
However, before he could stand up, the deputy warden's deep and cold voice suddenly came from behind him."Hey, Ren Shujie, what are you doing?”
Ren Shujie's smile froze instantly." No…nothing!”Ren Shujie turned around mechanically and looked at the deputy warden in horror, his grip tightening.
"Oh!" The deputy warden raised his eyebrows and looked at Ren Shujie's tightly clenched hands. He smiled." Is that so?”Before he could finish his sentence, the deputy warden suddenly kicked Ren Shujie's stomach heavily. Ren Shujie lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud. A trace of blood quickly appeared at the corner of his mouth.。Before Ren Shujie could stand up from the ground, the Deputy Warden's foot stepped on Ren Shujie's wrist.
"What are you holding in your hand?" The deputy warden looked down at him and asked with a smile.
Ren Shujie endured the pain and replied,""No…nothing!"
"Nothing?" The deputy warden smiled insincerely. He raised his other foot and stepped on Ren Shujie's hand, rubbing it back and forth.
"Ah…I beg you, don't!”The ten fingers were connected to the heart. The heart-wrenching pain made Ren Shujie shout. He loosened his clenched fist weakly, revealing the key to Room 204.
The deputy warden raised his foot and picked up the key on the ground. "Oh, so it's the key to room 204!”The deputy warden pretended to be surprised." Thank you so much, Ren Shujie. It saved me the trouble of looking for him personally!”After knowing that Chen Haonan was not in Room 204, the first thing the deputy warden thought of was to cover up his crime of deliberately throwing away the key and killing the young man in Room 204. After all, when the key to the fifth cell was handed to him, the key to room 204 was still there. If he suddenly couldn't find it, then he definitely wouldn't be able to escape the suspicion of intentional murder. As long as he found the key, even if the five teenagers in room 204 were really burned to death, he would at most be charged with dereliction of duty for not releasing the prisoners in time.
Of course, Ren Shujie did not know what the deputy warden was thinking. He thought that the deputy warden had returned to completely destroy the key. Seeing that the key had been snatched away by the deputy warden, Ren Shujie ignored his pain and crawled to the deputy warden's feet on all fours. He knelt on the ground and begged,""Please, give me the key. Chen Haonan rushed into the fire to save people. As long as I give the key to him now, they might all be saved!”
"What? You said that Chen Haonan ran into the fire himself?”The deputy warden looked at the flames that dyed the night sky red not far away with a look of shock.
Ren Shujie nodded repeatedly. Looking at the Deputy Warden's expression, Ren Shujie thought that he had convinced him. Unexpectedly, after receiving Ren Shujie's confirmation, the Deputy Warden suddenly laughed sinisterly." Hahaha, I didn't expect this. I thought I had miscalculated. I didn't expect that Chen Haonan, that idiot, would actually go and seek death himself! The deputy warden looked at the key to room 204 in his hand and smiled even more malevolently." Then, as long as we get rid of this key, Chen Haonan will be dead for sure! Hahaha!"
"No, I can't! Please, they are all waiting for the key. Please, as long as you give me the key, I promise I won't tell anyone about this.”Ren Shujie begged even more urgently.
"Are you threatening me?" The Deputy Warden stopped smiling, and a hint of mockery and disdain flashed in his eyes." You piece of trash who overestimates yourself. I'm the God here. Even if you tell the higher-ups about this, I have a way to push the blame of losing the key to someone else. For example, Zhang Ming, the prison guard who gave me the key. So if you report me, you will indirectly harm another innocent person. Your threats are useless against me."
The deputy warden's coldness and cruelty surpassed Ren Shujie's imagination. In order to hide his crimes, he actually treated human lives like grass to such an extent. What should I do? What should I do? Ren Shujie shouted in his heart.
