When she returned to the cell, Zhao Lan wanted to cry but had no tears.

She slowly squatted on the ground and looked at the small prison in front of her in a daze. The blanket was thrown on the ground, and there were footprints and dust on it. The gla.s.s of water was also thrown in the corner, and the table had fallen.

Could this be her life for the next three years?

After Zhao Lan was sentenced, Ruan Dong quickly contacted the special prison and transferred Zhao Lan away within a day.

He called Yu Su. “Yu Su, Mrs. Ye has already entered the place she should be.

You can rest a.s.sured. We’ll discuss the rest when you’re free.”

“Will do.”

The two of them arranged to meet in Ruan Dong’s office the next day.

After they met, Yu Su sat on the chair and said, “I’ve calculated the time. There are two things I need to pay attention to in the near future. The first is to protect Wu Zhen well and prevent him from being silenced.”

Wu Zhen was an important person who would help in starting a conflict between the Black Magic Master and the mastermind, he could not be killed.

Ruan Dong nodded. “Alright, I’ve already made arrangements. I feel that those people are going to make a move tonight.”

His premonition had always been accurate.

Many times, he relied on this premonition to escape.

Yu Su continued, “Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing. The second thing is that He Jun and the others are about to wake up. We still have to continue sending people to guard the two of them, but we can’t make it too obvious.”

What if the mastermind was crazy and wanted to attack the ward again?

Then it would be too late for regrets.

She still wanted to know more about the mastermind from He Jun and Leng Yan. These two must not die.

When Ruan Dong heard this, he stood up in surprise, his mouth agape.

He quickly realized he’d lost his composure and sat down again. “They’re going to wake up? That’s great. I didn’t realize how powerful they were until they were unconscious.”

During this period of time, they relied on him and the captain of the third team to hold on.

The two of them took turns leading the team and leading their subordinates on missions.

There were also people who could be captains in Team One and Team Two, but the members of these two teams were all waiting for their captain to wake up. No one was willing to be the new captain.

This was really good news for the first department.

Yu Su nodded.

She would often send the little snake into the ward under the guise of visiting them. The little snake had absorbed a lot of baleful aura these days, and its strength had even increased to Upper Level 2.

This was killing two birds with one stone.

The two of them secretly discussed the specific plans before Yu Su left the office.

Once Yu Su left, w.a.n.g Lang, the Second Minister, appeared.

He knocked on the door a few times. When he heard Ruan Dong’s voice, he strode into the office and closed the door with a loud bang.

From the moment he heard the knock on the door, Ruan Dong knew that it was w.a.n.g Lang.

However, he was not afraid. Instead, he was looking forward to it.

w.a.n.g Lang strode in and questioned with a dark expression, “This case was clearly jointly investigated by the First and Second Department. What right do you have to deliberately write just your own department when you were filing the case?”

He was already very unhappy that the director had deprived him of his results. After flipping through the files, he realized that Ruan Dong had shamelessly only written his department. Thus, he came to settle the score with Ruan Dong aggressively.

Ruan Dong picked up his teacup and gently blew on it. “Minister w.a.n.g, don’t be anxious. You’re always so impatient. It’s easy to hurt your body!”

“Stop beating around the bush. Get your subordinates to remove the file now and add the Second Department in!” w.a.n.g Lang slammed the table and glared at him.

He would not allow anyone to bully the Second Department like this. He felt that he was the victim and completely forgot how the Second Department delayed the speed of investigation.

“Didn’t Director Yan tell you about this?” Ruan Dong smiled faintly and took another sip of tea.

He was not frightened by the other party at all. In fact, he was enjoying how irritated w.a.n.g Lang was.

“What do you mean? Stop talking in riddles. What did Director Yan say to you?” w.a.n.g Lang’s voice gradually weakened, and his eyes were still filled with anger.

Could it be that this matter was ordered by Director Yan?

If it was really Director Yan’s idea, then Director Yan was completely disappointed in him. Would he still have a chance to take over the position of the director?

He was definitely unwilling to let Ruan Dong be the director.

Ruan Dong said calmly, “Didn’t Director Yan tell you that he has already submitted a recommendation to the higher-ups?”

“What?” w.a.n.g Lang said angrily.

His face was red with anger, and he became even more irritable. He wished he could punch Ruan Dong in the face.

As the reserve candidate for the director, how could he not know about this!

And how did Ruan Dong know? Could it be that Director Yan told him?
