After hanging up the phone, Su Yu sighed…
He knew what he had asked of the warden was a difficult request . After all, this matter did involve Mayor Song .
So when Su Yu was on the phone with the warden, he shelled out every negotiation tactic he knew, both luring and threatening the man .
In the end, the warden was completely helpless against him, ultimately surrendering to Su Yu's request .
Of course, Su Yu had to pay a steep price as well . For this visit, he was giving up 3 billion yuan worth of loans . Plus, he agreed to promote the warden's son .
He would be in a lot of trouble if his grandpa found out . For Huo Mian, however, it was all worth it…
Su Yu tossed and turned through the night, unable to fall asleep from the excitement .
He was extremely happy that he had the chance to see Huo Mian during this critical time while no one else could .
The next morning at 8 AM, Su Yu chose a more subtle car, his Benz 600, for his trip, stopping near the facilities .
He made sure to switch cars as he was afraid to draw attention with his Lamborghini .
Once 9 AM hit, Su Yu got out of his car promptly .
For a man who loved to dress in white, he opted for a dark grey coat today .
He had on a black baseball cap and made sure that it was dragged so low that it covered his face…
“Young Master Su, my boss told me you were coming . This way . ”
The warden arranged for a man to bring Su Yu in through a side tunnel, soon stopping before a dark room .
“Young Master Su, because this isn't a formal visit, this is all I can provide . I'm sorry . ”
“It's fine . ”
“Also… we can only give you 10 minutes . Please hurry . ”
“10 minutes? That's too short . ” Su Yu was slightly startled .
“Young Master Su, honestly speaking, my boss is going against proper procedures this time . If anyone finds out, he will be in a lot of trouble . You should know that this place is filled with Mayor Song's men . He's watching our every move . Any mistake we make will get my boss and me into a lot of trouble . ”
“Alright, I understand . ” Su Yu nodded, afraid to waste any more time .
The man immediately opened the door to the secret room and Su Yu went in .
Huo Mian was brought into a cramped little room . She expected an interrogation and began thinking about ways to maneuver out of the situation, but was dumbfounded by the sight of Su Yu .
“Why… are you here?” Huo Mian's eyes grew wide .
“I'm here to bring you take-out,” Su Yu joked .
Huo Mian was truly shocked…
She couldn't believe that someone came to visit her . Back when Qin Chu was locked up, she tried every possible way she could think of to see him, all to no avail .
It wasn't hard to imagine the efforts Su Yu put in to see her .
Because it wasn't a formal visit, there was no glass between them; it was directly face-to-face .
Sitting across from her, Su Yu's heart ached at the sight of a frail-looking Huo Mian .
“You've gotten thinner… Is the food bad?” Su Yu asked .
Huo Mian shook her head . “My meals are provided to me separately . Every meal includes four dishes and one soup . It's delicious, but I'm not that hungry . I don't eat a lot…”
“That's good… is anyone giving you a hard time?”
“No . I'm in a single cell and I don't get to leave it, so I don't have contact with any other prisoners . ”
“What about the prison guards?”
“They're all very nice to me . ”
“Did they try to force a confession out of you?”
“No . ” Huo Mian shook her head .
“That's good… that's good,” Su Yu repeated those words twice as if he could finally calm down .
The very reason he was so anxious to see Huo Mian was because he was worried about her getting bullied .
“How did you get in?” Huo Mian asked calmly .
