Chapter 168 Give up Voluntarily? This Is Strange

The electric baton hit the iron railing hard, with a deafening bang, arcs of electricity, and the air was filled with the crackling sound of electricity.

The two prisoners, who were leaning on the fence and secretly smoking during their free time, suddenly twitched violently at this moment.

Their hair stood up instantly, their bodies lost balance, and they fell heavily to the ground. Their eyelids rolled up sharply, white foam emerged from the corners of their mouths, and they swayed on the ground.

The surrounding prisoners were so startled by this sudden change that their hearts beat rapidly, and they collectively twisted their necks and looked in this direction.

After they identified the perpetrator as the prison district chief, Zhou Hao, they all immediately lowered their heads, with a look of horror on their faces, and hurriedly fled in all directions, as if they were afraid of being affected by Zhou Hao's anger.

"Brother, what happened?" Ma Xuan stepped forward quickly and asked with a furrowed brow. Chang Wei followed closely behind with an equally solemn expression.

Zhou Fu remained silent, but his eyes shone with a gloomy cold light as he stared at Chang Wei closely, as if he wanted to see through his mind.

Chang Wei, who was already a little preoccupied, was suddenly awakened from his trance by Zhou Fu's sharp eyes. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he asked nervously: "Brother, what happened?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhou Fu's lips, and there was an unquestionable question in his tone: "How dare you go to the warden behind my back?"

Chang Wei's face instantly turned pale, with a hint of disbelief in his panic: "Brother, are you kidding me? How could I betray you? I have always been loyal to you."

Zhou Fu's brows were tightly knitted into a knot, and his eyes showed deep suspicion. He snorted coldly and said in a cold tone:

"Don't you know? Your nephew actually gave up on joining the job and stopped coming to the prison to report. Is this something you did secretly?"

As he spoke, Zhou Wei waved his hand fiercely and slapped the list in his hand hard on Chang Wei's chest. The force was so strong that Chang Wei staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Chang Wei hurriedly picked up the form. It was the employment application he submitted for his nephew. The bottom line, the column for the warden's approval, where the signature had been agreed, was marked with a big X.

Instead, there were two large characters written in red pen - "Rejected".

The bright red, like two sharp knives, stung Chang Wei's eyes. The reason for rejection clearly stated: The employee voluntarily gave up the job due to personal reasons.

Chang Wei's face was full of astonishment. He clutched the list tightly, his hands trembling with emotion.

"It's impossible. There's no way my nephew would give up on joining the job. He..."

Chang Wei took a few deep breaths and looked at Zhou Wei with wide eyes. His shocked expression was gradually replaced by fear, and he said in a trembling voice,

"My nephew went out two nights ago and has not returned home. He cannot get through on the phone. He has been out of contact for two days. My sister has already anxiously reported the crime to the police station."

Chang Wei clutched the employment form with a crunching sound. Bloodshot eyes crawled out, and he said seriously: "My nephew is missing. How can a missing person give up the employment?"

Zhou Fu was stunned: "Missing?"

Ma Xuan listened thoughtfully.

Chang Wei nodded quickly: "I asked my friends from the patrol room to inquire. The patrol room has been unable to spare manpower recently, and the case has been shelved. However, the people from the patrol room told me that there have been frequent disappearances in the ninth district recently. According to their experience, the case has been put on hold." Anyone who has been there for more than two days is likely to be in bad luck.”

Chang Wei's eyes fell back on the list again, and the words "voluntarily give up" seemed to burn his anger. He raised his head, with sparks of anger flashing in his eyes, and his voice rose a bit:

"Brother, my nephew's disappearance must have something to do with the warden. I am just a nephew, so you have to make the decision for me."

Zhou Fu's anger was immediately extinguished by Chang Wei's stronger anger, and he calmed down.

His pupils shrank twice, a trace of hesitation flashed across his face, and then he said slowly:

"Just for an insignificant job quota, the warden wouldn't go so far."

Chang Wei gritted his teeth, and reason told him that the warden would not be so impulsive and unwise, but emotionally, the missing person was his nephew.

Ma Xuan suddenly interrupted: "Brother, this matter is strange, but it concerns Chang Wei's nephew. You might as well go to the warden and ask for clarification."

Zhou Hui thought for three seconds, not to mention that he had not given face to the warden who had descended from the air, and even seemed to want to join forces with other district chiefs to oust the warden.

However, he was still slightly frightened when he was asked to go to the warden's office alone and face Qian Huan face to face.

Not only because the other party holds the title of warden, but also because of the tens of meters long laser tunnel leading to the warden's office, which brings a tangible sense of terror and oppression.

Zhou Fu finally went with the order.

Warden's Office.

Zhou Rui knocked on the door and came in. Looking at the isolation explosion-proof glass wall, Zhou Rui felt a touch of contempt in his heart: "This warden is really afraid of death."

He completely forgot that when he just walked through the laser tunnel, the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.

"Is something wrong?" Qian Huan asked knowingly.

Zhou Fu tidied up his words, squeezed out an unnatural smile on his face, and asked:

"Warden, I would like to ask you, the candidate I recommended, what does the word 'voluntarily give up' on the list mean?"

Qian Huan smiled slightly and replied lightly: "It means literally."

Zhou Hu asked: "Forgive my stupidity, please explain it more clearly, warden."

Qian Huan looked at Zhou Hu and said word by word: "He just won't come."

Zhou Hu frowned and asked uncertainly: "Did he call our prison on his own initiative, or..."

Qian Huan interrupted Zhou Hu's probing and said frankly: "No, I haven't seen this person, let alone any contact with him, but I know that he won't come to our prison to work."

Zhou Hu felt that the warden seemed to admit it, but also seemed to admit nothing, which gave him a very bad feeling.

He asked irritably: "Is he unable to come, or not coming?"

Qian Huan unscrewed the water cup slowly and took a sip of water, then smiled and said: "Is there any difference? In the end, they all didn't come. In my opinion, it is regarded as his initiative to give up the job, so I will naturally give this vacant position to someone else."

Zhou Hu's face was gloomy. He wanted to continue to ask questions, but he saw Qian Huan had lowered his head and pretended to be busy at work.

He still didn't give up and asked: "Who told the warden Chang Qingsen that he gave up voluntarily?"

Zhou Hu emphasized the words "give up voluntarily".

Qian Huan was very satisfied with Zhou Hu's impatient attitude. That's why he deliberately wrote that in the reason for rejection. He wanted Zhou Hu's anger and impatience, and to deepen the latter's fear of him.

Qian Huan didn't even raise his head and said casually: "I don't remember clearly. You know, I'm the warden. Every day, many subordinates have to report to me about the work inside and outside the prison. Maybe someone told me and I remembered it."
