Chapter 32: Fighting Back? Seek Death!

Hao Ziqiang never expected that Yang Chi would be so stubborn in the face of irrefutable evidence. Seeing Yang Chi pointing at him with an innocent look, Hao Ziqiang almost laughed in anger. 

"The evidence is irrefutable. Warden Yang, you are still stubborn." 

"It's a joke. Why should I admit it if I haven't done it? Mr. Hao should give me an explanation as to where you got this recording." 

"I..." 

Hearing this, Hao Ziqiang couldn't help but choke. How do you answer this question? How can you say that you have planted a traitor in Iron Castle Prison in front of strict regulations? You must know that this kind of thing cannot be put on the table. Thinking of this, Hao Ziqiang's eyes rolled, and then he sneered. 

"Warden Yang uses cruel methods to deal with prisoners. The prisoners who commit such brutality will naturally want to resist. The method of proof is also very simple. Warden Yang, do you dare to let the prisoners in the recording come to confront you?" 

After having a chat, Hao Ziqiang brought the focus back to the recording. Hao Ziqiang knew very well that what he had to deal with now was the violation of regulations in Iron Castle Prison, not how he received the evidence. As long as there is enough evidence to prove the authenticity of the recording, then Yang Chi is finished! Therefore, Hao Ziqiang brought up the matter of interviewing the prisoner in the audio file. After all, these prisoners reported with their real names, and it was easy to find these people. 

At this time, Yan Jui, who had not spoken for a long time, also spoke. "Xiao Chi, can you call all the prisoners who reported you?" 

In fact, Yan Jui knew very well that if the Sloka Group dared to hand over the recording to him, it meant that Yang Chi had probably done something illegal. When large groups do such things, they either don't do it, or if they do, they will directly defeat their opponents. 

Thinking about the strict rules here made him a little worried. At this time, Yan Gui was already having a headache about how to save Yang Chi. Since the last time he didn't help his brother-in-law and his brother-in-law died in prison, Yan Ji regretted his choice at that time. In fact, he had many ways to help his relatives without breaking the law, but at that time, he was filled with anger after what his brother-in-law had done and had no intention of protecting others, which led to the tragedy. 

While Yan Gui was thinking about it, Yang Chi nodded. "Of course, Team Leader Yan, even if you don't say anything, I will still go to these prisoners for verification. Things like this that taint a person's innocence are too irritating." 

After saying that, Yang Chi looked at Wang Lide behind him. "Captain Wang, please bring over all the prisoners mentioned in the recording just now, and bring a few more brothers to prevent them from causing trouble."

"Understood, Warden, I'll do it right away." Nodding, Wang Lide turned around and walked out of the room. Yan Jui and Hao Ziqiang were surprised to see Yang Chi so easily let the prison guards take the person away. From the moment he heard the recording, Yang Chi's performance was frank, without any panic that a liar would have. Seeing this, Hao Ziqiang felt a sudden sense of panic. The other party's confidence even gave Hao Ziqiang the illusion that he might have been mistaken. Dismissing this thought, he reassured himself, "No! There can't be anything wrong, it's definitely a show-off. When these prisoners arrive, I'll see how you can quibble!"

Soon, the conference room door opened again. Eight prisoners slowly walked into the room under the escort of the prison guards. The guards then handcuffed the prisoners' wrists to the grooves on the conference table. In this situation, even if the prisoners rioted, it would be impossible for them to hurt others. Observing the prisoners in silence, Hao Ziqiang's eyes paused on one of them, a thin man wearing glasses. The thin man was Zhou Hu, the person Hao Ziqiang had placed in Iron Castle Prison to plan a riot. Zhou Hu's calm nod to him offered a sense of relief.

However, despite this reassurance, Hao Ziqiang noticed no panic on Yang Chi's face and thought, "Yang Chi is doomed this time! The people here are all my allies, so why is he playing games with me?" Buoyed by this thought, Hao Ziqiang laughed loudly. "I admire it. Warden Yang is really neat and tidy in his work. I wonder if Warden Yang has anything to say to me?" he asked, implying there might still be room for negotiation if Yang Chi sold the prison land to him. After all, if kept silent and unreported, no one would know about it.

But unexpectedly, Yang Chi responded with disdain, "Mr. Hao, are you sick? I work openly and honestly—what do I have to say to you? Ridiculous!" Hao Ziqiang, frustrated by Yang Chi's refusal to yield, challenged him, "Okay! If you're tough enough, let's ask Team Leader Yan to take a closer look." Ignoring Yang Chi, Hao Ziqiang turned to Yan Gui, asking for further investigation of the situation. Yan Gui, noting Hao Ziqiang's emphasis on the word "mingcha," then inquired, "Who is Prisoner No. 0332?"
