Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 216 - 153: Fortune Point Soaring

"What kind of demons and monsters haven’t I seen before? I’ve come to Zhenbei Prison as Commander to bring clarity and order here. Any evildoer who falls into my hands will show their true colors."

Old Li’s full name was Li Zhang.

An Upper Third-Grade Martial Artist.

Strange waves of power emanated from him. Middle-aged, he walked with hands clasped behind his back and came to stand before Beast Master Lin Yuanfu.

He began his inspection from the first floor.

The various Captains and Supervisors ordered their men to stand at attention, welcoming Li Zhang.

"What’s wrong with your face?"

Li Zhang stopped when he saw Uncle Huo’s bruised and dark face, asking coldly.

"Had a bit too much to drink last night, got taught a lesson by the wife at home."

Uncle Huo replied sheepishly.

Last night, he had gone drinking with several Squad Leaders and ended up tipsy again. This time, before he could even throw up on the bed, Aunt Huo had already pinned him to the ground and given him a bruising.

Everyone couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Working together in the prison, many knew Uncle Huo had a love for the bottle and a fierce woman at home.

"Hmph, you can’t even handle a woman—how do you expect to do your job in the prison? Pack up your stuff. Don’t let me see you again. Get out!"

Li Zhang didn’t laugh. Instead, his face was full of contempt as he fired Uncle Huo on the spot.

"Ah?"

"Please, my lord, have mercy! I’ve got old and young to feed at home. If I leave the prison, I don’t know how my family will survive."

Uncle Huo, as if struck by lightning, hurriedly kneeled and pleaded in tears.

Everyone exchanged looks.

Nobody expected Li Zhang to fire Uncle Huo—this was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, the classic three fires of a new boss.

"As for how to survive, that’s your problem. Listen up, all of you: Zhenbei Prison doesn’t keep useless people!"

Li Zhang ignored Uncle Huo’s begging, looking coldly over the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone tensed up, not daring to talk back.

"Get him out, now."

Li Zhang ordered the Captains to kick Uncle Huo out, then continued his inspection of the prison with Lin Yuanfu.

"My lord! My lord!"

Uncle Huo cried out in desperation, but two familiar Squad Leaders dragged him out. They were worried more noise from Uncle Huo would anger Li Zhang and invite even more trouble.

All at once—

Everyone walking behind Li Zhang became extra cautious.

Jiang Feng stood at the back of the crowd, helplessly watching Uncle Huo being dragged away.

Slowly, Li Zhang made his way from the first floor up to the third, stirring up trouble along the way. He chewed out several Captains and Squad Leaders, making people like Officer Zhao feel as if they were treading on thin ice, forced to serve him with the utmost care.

"Four Don’ts?"

"Who wrote this?"

Reaching the third floor,

Li Zhang arrived at the area under Jiang Feng’s jurisdiction.

He saw the motto of the Four Don’ts.

"Jiang Feng."

Officer Zhao hurriedly called out.

"At your service."

Jiang Feng quickly stepped forward.

Officer Zhao hurried to explain, "Reporting to Lord Commander, that ’Four Don’ts’ spirit was written by him."

"My lord, are you looking for me?"

Jiang Feng said ingratiatingly.

"You, a Little Prison Chief—what right or capability do you have to make rules and regulations in the prison?"

Li Zhang saw Jiang Feng was just a Little Prison Chief, his eyes turning cold.

Though the Four Don’ts was meant to discipline Prison Guards and Squad Leaders, and if everyone followed it, it would make Li Zhang’s work easier down the line, in his eyes, if everyone started doing this, wouldn’t that mean anyone could set rules?

Then what would a Grand Commander like him be needed for?

"Uh..."

Jiang Feng’s expression froze for a moment—so the guy was coming after him. Still, he wasn’t nervous; someone would speak up for him.

"My lord, Jiang Feng’s Four Don’ts have received the Lord Director of the Prison’s personal praise. Lord Director even called on everyone to remember the spirit of the Four Don’ts, to learn from Jiang Feng, and even recognized him as a younger brother."

Officer Zhao stepped forward.

Jiang Feng was not Uncle Huo.

If Li Zhang punished him and Han Dong questioned him later, things would get ugly.

"Oh... hahahaha, excellent! From now on, everyone should follow Prison Chief Jiang’s example—keep the Four Don’ts spirit in mind as you work."

Li Zhang’s expression shifted, but then he laughed heartily, acting as if he had always appreciated Jiang Feng.

"The lord is right."

The crowd echoed in agreement.

"Prison Chief Jiang, you go ahead—if I need you, I’ll let you know."

Li Zhang patted Jiang Feng’s shoulder.

"Of course, my lord. Please instruct me anytime."

Jiang Feng kept his head low, looking utterly humble as he retreated to the back, never letting a hint of pride show from start to finish—moving with the utmost caution.

Li Zhang and Lin Yuanfu exchanged glances, both silently marking Jiang Feng in their minds.

They both knew: Anyone able to thrive in Zhenbei Prison and recognized by Han Dong as a brother was no simple character. Even if he was only a Little Prison Chief, he couldn’t be pushed around casually.

And so—

Li Zhang and Lin Yuanfu, along with several Supervisors and a group of Captains, began a thorough inspection of the third floor.

Jiang Feng returned to his work room.

"Uncle Huo’s whole family depended on his job to get by—I have no idea what Auntie Huo and the kids will do now that he’s been thrown out."

Jiang Feng thought to himself.

Just now, he’d wanted to plead on Uncle Huo’s behalf, ask Li Zhang to spare him, but then he thought about the darkness of officialdom. If he begged for Uncle Huo in front of everyone, even with Han Dong behind him, he’d just back Li Zhang into a corner.

If that happened, Uncle Huo might never come back, and his own relationship with Li Zhang would sour.

After all, no matter what, he couldn’t embarrass Li Zhang in front of everyone else. It was obvious that Li Zhang fired Uncle Huo to set an example. Even if he did plead and played the Han Dong card, it probably wouldn’t work.

It might even backfire.

"All I can do is let Uncle Huo endure a while—when Sister Dong comes back, I’ll look for a chance to help him."
