Chapter 931: Bad News, Gu Xinghan Escaped

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the death row prison, snakes, insects, rats, and ants were gathered.

This place was dark and dirty, and the air was filled with a humid and rotting smell.

There were more than ten prison guards patrolling back and forth inside.

There were also many soldiers guarding outside.

It would be impossible for one to escape from this place.

An inconspicuous-looking prison guard carried a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of ordinary porridge.

The guard at the door stopped him. “Wait a moment, let us check.”

They reached their hands into the bowls, flipped through the vegetables, and also stirred the porridge.

They were afraid that there would be some keys or something inside.

After checking that there were no issues with the food, the guard said coldly, “You may go.”

The prison guard who brought the food lowered his head and thanked him before walking into the death row prison.

Coincidentally, it was time to deliver food. A few patrolling prison guards were sitting at the top of the cell and eating.

They were still discussing in a muffled voice, “I heard that His Majesty has arranged for Marquis Yongye to do the interrogation.”

“Tsk tsk, that Gu Xinghan is going to confess everything. Everyone knows that Marquis Yongye’s methods are more painful than skinning people!”

“Let’s hurry up and eat so that we can welcome the marquis later.”

The little prison guard lowered his head slightly.

He walked to the innermost cell.

Gu Xinghan’s hair was disheveled and there was dirt on his prison uniform.

He was originally sticking out his butt and scratching at something on the wall.

When Gu Xinghan heard sounds, he suddenly turned around.

He looked disheveled and pounced to the railing, staring at the vegetables and porridge on the plate.

He was furious. “You guys are just feeding me this?! How am I going to tell you everything if I’m not full?!”

The prison guard lowered his head and spoke in a soft voice. “You still want to eat your fill? Do you think you’ll still be able to live if you tell His Majesty about the prince and the others?!”

Gu Xinghan was shocked and quickly took two steps back. “Who asked you to come?”

He hurriedly wanted to shout for help to attract the attention of the other prison guards in front.

However, the person outside the cell suddenly said, “Do you want to escape? Not only can you keep your life, but His Highness has also prepared money for you.”

“Gu Xinghan, you have to know that now that you’ve been deprived of your title as the heir, you’re already a loser. His Majesty only wants to use you to tell the truth. Have you thought about what will happen to you in the future?”

This person approached the cell with a terrifying gaze. “I heard that His Majesty asked Marquis Yongye to interrogate you. If he’s too heavy-handed and kills you after knowing the truth, you won’t be able to say anything!”

Gu Xinghan panted heavily and calmed down for a while.

He approached carefully, looked around, and asked in a low voice, “How do you plan to save me?”

A short moment later.

The prison guard who brought the food walked out of the death row prison with his head lowered again.

The guard took a look and saw that there was nothing unusual.

He glanced at the prison guard patrolling inside. The latter understood and walked to Gu Xinghan’s cell to confirm if he was still there.

Gu Xinghan’s hair was messy. His back was facing the prison guard and he was facing the corner, wolfing down the porridge and vegetables.

The prison guard walked back to the guard in front and nodded.

However, in less than 7 minutes, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the death row prison.

“This is bad! Gu Xinghan has died!”

The expressions of the prison guards changed and they hurriedly ran to Gu Xinghan’s cell.

One of the prison guards was about to open the chain when he realized that the iron lock, which looked like it was intact…

Actually fell to the ground and broke into two at just one touch!

It turned out that it had long been destroyed!

Everyone felt that something was amiss.

They hurriedly rushed through the door and turned over the dead prisoner on the ground.

Under the messy hair wasn’t Gu Xinghan’s face.

This person was the fake prison guard who had delivered the food just now!

At this moment, blood was oozing out from his mouth and nose. He was clearly dead.

One of the guards hurriedly rushed out of the death row prison to chase after Gu Xinghan. However, the prison guard who had left just now had long disappeared!

Someone secretly swapped the prisoner out!

This was bad! Gu Xinghan had escaped!
