“By the way,” Yan Chuan pondered for a moment and asked Navi, “Do you know what the prison guard who brought me that day looked like?”
He recalled the appearance of the guard who had spoken to him, trying hard to describe, “Was he tall, with brown eyes and black hair?”
Yan Chuan thought for a moment and added, “He seemed quite easy to talk to…”
That must be the guard Leo who brought him that day, right?
Navi nodded, confirming Yan Chuan’s not-so-accurate description: “Yes, that’s him.”
Yan Chuan exclaimed, “Oh,” and Navi asked, “Did you see him?”
Just as Yan Chuan was about to nod, he heard Navi say, “His patrol area is outside the prison… Have you been out?”
The calm questioning tone, along with the doctor’s golden hair and blue eyes, seemed pleasant, but Yan Chuan suddenly sensed something was off.
Leo’s patrolling location is outside, how could this poor level F inmate who was even injured at work encounter him?
If he had gone out with someone else, wouldn’t Navi suspect their relationship?
Why would this poor and helpless level F inmate know someone who could take him out yet still live such a miserable life?
Yan Chuan suddenly felt that Navi was prying for information.
“Because…” The dark-haired, dark-eyed Oriental beauty lowered his eyelids, appearing somewhat hesitant. “I went to look for him in the afternoon…”
Long lashes fluttered, casting a small shadow across his pale cheeks.
With his slightly rounded eyes, he seemed very innocent, speaking softly with a pure and naive expression.
“I wanted to return his coat,” Yan Chuan thought for a moment, “Someone told me the way, but he seemed busy, so I didn’t want to disturb him and just took a look from a distance.”
The Oriental beauty raised his hand to tuck away some fallen hair behind his ear, revealing his exquisite features and delicate white earlobes.
As if feeling his behavior was a bit abrupt, he awkwardly said, “I intended to go, but they were indeed busy, and I can’t go out, so I had to return.”
“I’m also not sure who I really saw, which is why I came to ask you.”
“Mr. Doctor,” the Oriental beauty displayed a somewhat embarrassed expression, “Do you think it would bother him if I went over?”
The black-haired beauty indeed looked troubled.
He bit his lip, which was adorned with a layer of glistening color, slightly deeper than before.
Due to his timid nature and fear of disturbing others, he had gone and returned without speaking to anyone, and only then had the courage to ask around.
But this also matched Navi’s impression of him—a delicate, timid Oriental thief who ended up in the isolation island prison due to sheer bad luck, carrying a hint of innocence.
[If it were me, I would have just given in… How naïve of me]
[Ah, a bad man is still prying, how excessive!]
[I predict this one doesn’t seem like a good person]
[You all are asking this while I’m just worried about whether my wife can sleep tonight after eating so much…]
[I feel like my wife’s belly is a little rounder; it’s like that… Research summary paused, I’m coming to rub!]
“Is that so?” Navi’s expression remained unchanged, though his eyes darkened slightly. “He’s indeed a nice person; you could just go find him.”
Yan Chuan blinked.
Navi remarked, “I was about to ask if you needed me to take you…”
The smile on his lips deepened. “But it looks like you don’t need that now.”
Navi seemed to imply something: “I thought you might be too shy to go by yourself.”
Yan Chuan’s earlobes turned a bit red again.
“Not really…” he replied vaguely.
He felt shy about going alone and didn’t know how to go, but after all, it was Hesse who had taken him out.
Encountering Leo had been incidental.
After all, he didn’t even know when Hesse had become so familiar with the layout of the isolation island prison.
Yan Chuan thought to himself, revealing an embarrassed smile to Navi.
“Indeed, the guard is quite nice…”
After leaving Navi’s office, Yan Chuan had to cautiously look for Leo.
He hesitated for a moment, considering he was bound by many constraints in this narrative, which made moving around inconvenient.
Because the escape plan had given him a new task.
A familiar, cold, mechanical voice rang in his ears as Yan Chuan heard the new task trigger.
“Sub-mission one: Obtain the prison director’s seal within the isolation island prison.”
With just this short sentence, Yan Chuan’s emotions grew complex.
He was to obtain… the prison director’s seal?
But he hadn’t even seen what the prison director looked like. Did the task require him to acquire the seal as soon as it was triggered?
Yan Chuan thought back; he couldn’t recall anything about “the seal” in the background of the narrative.
But such an item likely had to be kept in a locked office drawer, and he didn’t even know where the director’s office was.
There were guards patrolling everywhere in the isolation island prison… What would he do if he got caught?
If he obtained the seal and was discovered, it would still count as completing the sub-mission. But what if he neither obtained it nor got caught?
Yan Chuan frowned.
Regardless, he needed to quickly use the excuse of returning the coat to find Leo.
That reason was also legitimate, and he intended to go anyway.
He just had to divert Hesse first.
Yan Chuan glanced at Hesse, who was not far away.
Ever since that day when Hesse insisted on “checking” his knee injury, it felt like he had found a reason to cling to him.
He had to care about how his wound was healing, his coarse fingertips rubbing over the slightly tender skin, “confirming” whether he had recovered well.
Yan Chuan didn’t dare to… outright refuse.
