Chapter 21: Who Is Worse Off Than Whom? (Part II)

This transaction, Jiang Quan would certainly make. And Jiang Su Su and her mother would also beg for her forgiveness. But she would not allow others to take advantage of her like that. If Qian Wan Li wanted to eat a fat goose, she didn't mind letting him try being killed in the process.

"If you had the chance to get out of here, are you willing to speak up?" Jiang Ruan asked Shu Fen.

Shu Fen was startled. She looked at her and said, "How can there be another opportunity to seek justice? I have already spent a year here. I can see things clearly. There is no fairness or justice in this system. If you are thinking of causing a commotion, I can tell you right now that it is a mistake. Listen to this jiejie. It is best not to do that, or you yourself will suffer."

Jiang Ruan smiled. "Fen jiejie must not forget that my father is not an ordinary person. He knows that I have been imprisoned here and will inevitably come to save me. I am innocent. You must take this opportunity, that I am bringing to your attention, to get out; I will certainly not forget you outside of these walls even though our family situations are so different."

Listening to Jiang Ruan speak about her father, Shu Fen's expression was slightly hesitant. "Does your father really have that ability?"

Jiang Ruan nodded.

"If that is the case, then things will be better." Shu Fen suddenly saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness, however, a nagging suspicion arose shortly. "But if your father loves you, how could he have let you fall into this miserable situation?"

Jiang Ruan lowered her head. Seeping through the small, dark window in the cell, little rays of sunshine fell on her white neck. Her fluttering eyelashes concealed the emotions in her eyes. Only, her weak shoulders appeared so fragile that people couldn't help but pity her.

Shu Fen sighed, "Well, alright, I won't ask about your family. It is just that… will your father really come to save you?"

"Yes, my maids must have already sent him a letter by now. My father will soon send someone to pick me up." Jiang Ruan blinked.

"When?" Shu Fen still had some doubt.

"Tomorrow," Jiang Ruan smiled. "I think there will be an opportunity for you to appeal for justice tomorrow, Fen jiejie. At that time, not only you, but all the prisoners in this prison should seize the opportunity and shout loudly. You must remember, the louder you shout, the more likely you are to be released."

Shu Fen nodded, and began to inform everyone in the prison about the plan.

The night passed quickly. On the tenth day of the month, the sun was completely hidden behind thick clouds. The skies were covered with bits of snow, falling softly like feathers. The ground was covered with a layer of snow. Inside the prison cells, it was dark and damp, and ice was frozen in some corners. Shu Fen found some straw lying scattered around her and gave it to Jiang Ruan so that she could warm herself.

Jiang Ruan shook her head gently. The prison cell here was heaven on earth when compared to the horrifying situation she had experienced in her last life. At that time, she had been placed in the most terrifying cell, the darkest of dungeons, for being a criminal. She was soaked in a half-filled pool, her entire body immersed in chillingly cold water. There were also mice running around, waiting to feed on her body. The freezing water constantly flowed against her body, causing a chill in the viewer's heart. Even if such a snowfall occurred today, it could not compare to even a thousandth of her experience.

These days, it seemed like the incidents of her past were repeating themselves. She was once again locked up in a prison. But this time, she would no longer be as miserable and helpless as she was in her previous life. She would not let herself be tortured. Now that she was still still alive, she owed some people and some people owed her. She needed to collect her debts. The suffering she was experiencing at present, combined with her grievances from her previous life, must all be returned in full to all the people who had been the cause of it. Until then, let's see who is worse off than whom!
