Chapter 815: Chapter 820: Safety Measures
Ling Chen looked at the two security personnel and said lightly, "Why doesn’t Yu Peng come to see me himself."
"Stop wasting time." One security personnel said briskly, "Ling Chen, you’d better come with us quietly. Don’t cause trouble for yourself." As he spoke, he gave a signal to his companion, who understood and immediately took something out and walked toward Ling Chen.
Beside them, Qin Genglong noticed the item in the opponent’s hand and his expression turned ugly immediately. Without further ado, he stepped forward and blocked Ling Chen, saying deeply, "What are you trying to do?"
"Qin, I advise you not to meddle."
Ling Chen frowned, ready to speak. But at that moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger rising from his heart. His gaze shifted, and he saw a reflection of sunlight coming from a corner of the watchtower on the playground.
Seeing that glaring light, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed immediately. As a former top agent, Ling Chen knew exactly what that sunlight meant, it was the glint from a sniper rifle’s scope. At this moment, both his and Qin Genglong’s foreheads were likely aimed at by a sniper rifle.
Although Qin Genglong’s Cross Training skills were formidable, they couldn’t withstand bullet shots. Furthermore, there’s no need to clash with Yu Peng right now.
"Old Qin." Ling Chen called Qin Genglong, saying, "You go back first, I’ll go over with them and take a look."
Qin Genglong said urgently, "Ling Chen, they..."
Before Qin Genglong could finish, Ling Chen waved his hand to stop him and said, "Alright, leave it like this, I won’t be in any trouble."
Qin Genglong reluctantly shook his head and left on his own. After he left, one security personnel approached Ling Chen and placed an iron ring-shaped object around his neck. With a crisp ’click,’ the iron ring locked instantly, and a green light in the center lit up.
Wearing that iron ring, Ling Chen felt discomfort around his neck and found it difficult to turn.
"What is this thing?" he asked.
"Safety measures." The security personnel replied succinctly and then escorted Ling Chen towards the Prison Director’s office.
From the playground to the Prison Director’s office, they needed to pass through ten checkpoints, each guarded by several fully armed security personnel. Besides the security, the ten explosion-proof doors were the focus. Ling Chen had previously visited Yan City Prison’s facilities when escorting criminals. Beneath Yan City Prison, there was a control center, the core area of the prison.
All the explosion-proof doors and external facilities in the prison were fully controlled by the control center; no one else could open them individually. Moreover, each explosion-proof door had a surveillance camera installed at the top. Control center staff would confirm identities through the surveillance footage before opening the explosion-proof doors. Ling Chen had delved into several secret bases while dealing with the God Organization, but he had to admit, Yan City Prison’s defense and security system was no less than the secret bases of the God Organization; in fact, it surpassed them in many respects.
No wonder Tang Guolun suggested that to escape Yan City Prison, one must unite the strength of the Qingyang Society and Hongmen.
Thinking this, under the escort of the two security personnel, Ling Chen passed through the layers of checkpoints and entered the Prison Director’s office. Walking in, he saw Yu Peng holding a cup of tea, sitting with crossed legs in a chair by the window, gazing outside with a slightly mysterious smile on his face.
Hearing footsteps, Yu Peng turned to look at Ling Chen and smiled, "Mr. Ling, please sit!"
Ling Chen stood in place, motionless, saying, "If you have something to say, just say it. I’m in a hurry to go back and rest, I don’t have time to waste here."
"Since Mr. Ling is willing to stand, I won’t insist." After a pause, Yu Peng continued, "Mr. Ling, how was breakfast earlier? How did Tang Guolun treat you?"
"Not bad, at least better than you."
"Mr. Ling, I won’t speak in riddles and I don’t like beating around the bush, so it’s better to say things directly. Tang Guolun is someone I value greatly, I don’t want anything to happen to him." As he mentioned ’anything,’ Yu Peng deliberately emphasized his tone.
"Tang Guolun is a criminal, and it’s better for criminals to stay in prison. So, no matter what he said to you just now, I hope you won’t take it to heart and live your life honestly without getting involved in things you shouldn’t, unless you want trouble to find you."
Ling Chen squinted his eyes and asked expressionlessly, "Are you warning me or threatening me?"
Yu Peng laughed and said, "Don’t overthink it, Mr. Ling. It’s just a friendly reminder between friends. If I were you, I would definitely remember it."
"Yu Peng, I don’t know what you intend to do, nor am I interested, but I must say, you shouldn’t have summoned me here, nor should you meet with me under minimal security. If I wanted to, I could kill you at any time."
"Is that so?" Yu Peng laughed indifferently and said, "Then why haven’t you acted yet? Is there something holding you back? Mr. Ling, to be honest, I know what you’re thinking. But I must tell you, if you’re counting on those people outside to save you, you’d better give up. Once in Yan City Prison, no one can leave freely. Also... do you really think I’d invite you to meet without any precautions?" With that, Yu Peng took a mini remote controller from his pocket and gently pressed it.
Immediately, the iron ring around Ling Chen’s neck changed from green light to red.
"Mr. Ling, this is a product developed by Yan City Prison, specifically designed to restrain dangerous criminals like you. It contains a mini bomb inside, not much, but enough to blow off your head, so I advise you to stay calm and not seek trouble. Alright, that’s enough for today, I have things to do, take him to the infirmary."
Ling Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Why are we going to the infirmary?"
"You’ll know once you get there." After speaking, Yu Peng waved his hand to indicate his subordinates to take Ling Chen out of the office.
Upon arriving at the infirmary, a doctor in a white coat was already prepared, waiting for Ling Chen’s arrival.
"You, lie on the bed." The doctor pointed to a bed beside him and said.
Ling Chen remained unmoved, glancing at the workbench beside the bed, where a set of surgical instruments was placed. Seeing those instruments, Ling Chen’s gaze slightly sharpened. He knew a bit about medicine, and the instruments the doctor was using were meant for surgery. Damn, what exactly does that bastard Yu Peng want to do?
Seeing Ling Chen standing there without moving for a long time, the two security personnel nudged Ling Chen’s shoulder, their eyes signaling him to hurry up and comply.
