"Uncle Yan, why don't you help my father run Iron Castle Prison in the future?" Yang Chi suggested, already climbing up the ladder, changing Yan Gui's title from Team Leader Yan to Uncle Yan. Hearing this, Yan Gui nodded with satisfaction. 

"Because I joined the Human Alliance. To avoid suspicion, I gave up my shares in Iron Castle Prison and transferred them all to your father." 

"I see," Yang Chi said, suddenly understanding. He had long heard about Yan Gui's behavior. This Uncle Yan was known for his uprightness in the Human Alliance and even treated his own relatives fairly. 

There were rumors that Yan Gui's brother-in-law was imprisoned for committing a crime. When Yan Gui's wife begged him to find connections to release her brother, Yan Gui refused. Eventually, the brother-in-law died in prison due to an accident. After this incident, Yan Gui earned the nickname "the Iron-faced King of Hell," and his wife severed ties with him because of it.

After chatting for a while, Yan Gui spoke up again. "Alright, Xiaochi, we can reminisce later. Let's finish our work first." 

"Of course, Uncle Yan... no, Team Leader Yan, please instruct me." Seeing Yan Gui's expression turn serious, Yang Chi knew serious topics were about to be discussed. 

Indeed, after pondering for a moment, Yan Gui spoke seriously, "Xiao Chi, even though we have this relationship, public matters are public, and private matters are private. I will not bend the law for personal gain. I must ask, did you abuse prisoners or use hallucinogenic drugs in prison to control their behavior?" 

Yan Gui's eyes were fixed on Yang Chi's, as if trying to discern some truth. Yang Chi knew Yan Gui's strict adherence to the law and that he would never show favoritism, even to the child of an old friend.

After Yan Gui broached the subject, Hao Ziqiang, who had been observing, finally sighed in relief. The earlier friendly chat had made him worry that Yan Gui might bend the law for personal gain, but now it seemed that Yan Gui indeed distinguished between public and private matters.

Hao Ziqiang's sneer widened as he anticipated Yang Chi's reaction when exposed. However, no one expected Yang Chi's eyes to widen in shock, his face full of grievance.

"It's unfair, Team Leader Yan! I... I have never done such a thing; this is absolute slander!" Yang Chi exclaimed. Observing Yang Chi's indignant expression, Hao Ziqiang's sneer grew even more pronounced. He stood with crossed arms, calmly imagining Yang Chi's embarrassment once the evidence surfaced.

Sure enough, Yan Gui frowned at Yang Chi's reaction. "Xiao Chi, don't get excited; sit down first."

"Team Leader Yan, this is truly slander. My father has always taught me to be someone who abides by the rules. I have always followed my father's teachings since I was a child."

Even if the prisoners in the prison cause trouble, we strictly abide by prison laws and never do anything out of the ordinary, Team Leader Yan, you must be aware of this." As he spoke, tears welled up in the corners of Yang Chi's eyes. Seeing Yang Chi's aggrieved look, Yan Jui suddenly felt a little dazed. At that moment, Yan Jui seemed to recall the time when his friends were together in their youth. 

"Old Yan, I, Yang Ming, always behave well, and my child will also be a well-behaved person in the future!" His friend's voice seemed to echo in his ears. He turned his head and took a deep look at Hao Ziqiang. That look made Hao Ziqiang shudder. It was as if Yan Jui was clearly telling him that if Yang Chi really hadn't done this kind of thing, he would be in deep trouble!

Thinking of this, Hao Ziqiang finally couldn't hold it in any longer. Fearing that Yan Gui wouldn't produce the recording evidence, Hao Ziqiang spoke up. "Warden Yang, stop pretending. We have a recording of the prisoners in the prison, right, Team Leader Yan," Hao Ziqiang said deliberately. Hearing this, Yan Gui's face suddenly turned cold.

How could Yan Gui, such a smart person, not realize that Hao Ziqiang was forcing him to provide evidence? "Mr. Hao, it seems you don't have the right to speak here." "Sorry, I'm too talkative," Hao Ziqiang quickly apologized, sensing the unkindness in Yan Gui's tone. However, Hao Ziqiang understood that his goal had been achieved. As a strict official, having said what he did, it was impossible for the old man to blatantly favor Yang Chi.

Sure enough, after snorting coldly, Yan Gui took out a voice recorder from his pocket. "Xiao Chi, this is the recording of Hao Ziqiang reporting your prisoner abuse. It contains the recording of your prisoner. Give me an explanation after listening to it." After that, Yan Gui pressed the switch, and bursts of sounds emanated from the recorder.

"I am Wu Shun, prisoner No. 0332 of Iron Castle Prison..." "I am Vikas, prisoner No. 0700 of Iron Castle Prison..." "I am He Guifan, prisoner No. 0024 of Iron Castle Prison..." Recordings played out from the recorder one by one. As the recorder finished playing, Hao Ziqiang looked at Yang Chi proudly. Come on, let's see how you explain it now? Yan Jui also looked at Yang Chi with an extremely serious expression.

Although Yan Gui was very unhappy with Hao Ziqiang, he had to admit that this recording was ironclad evidence. While everyone waited for Yang Chi's reply, they saw Yang Chi shaking his head and affirming, "Team Leader Yan, I still say this is a false accusation. Mr. Hao Ziqiang, in order to get the land of Iron Fort Prison, you actually used such a despicable method!" Staring at Hao Ziqiang closely, Yang Chi scolded angrily.
