Chapter 467: Chapter 464

Lu’s mother couldn’t help but let out a soft groan:

“What are you talking about, silly girl, this is all as it should be.”

Back in the day, Lu Xiao’s grandmother, her mother-in-law, treated her the same way. It’s all about putting oneself in another’s shoes.

Although Lu Xiao was her beloved son, truly loving him meant not possessing him, but letting him have his own happiness.

Children, for parents, are independent individuals. They are just there to accompany each other through a stroll in life. Why make a fuss? She still had her own life to live.

…

…

Wen Xian boarded the plane, thinking only of what Lu’s father had said about Lu Xiao being safe. She couldn’t resist, just before the plane took off, saying to him:

[Safe.]

What more could she say? At that moment, a thousand words were condensed into those two characters.

She flew back to Shanghai.

…

A prison in the Beijing Suburb.

In the morning, the newest batch of prisoners were also to undergo labor reformation.

When a figure in gray prison clothes appeared, it instantly caught some people’s attention.

“Bro, look, he’s out!”

This group was robust in build, albeit somewhat injured, the same bunch that had previously fought with Lu Xiao.

At that moment, their gazes were fixed intently on the newly emerged man, looking at him as if he were prey.

After all, whoever killed him would receive ten million, stirring their eagerness.

Plus, this was in prison, where fights were common occurrences.

“Let’s cooperate. As soon as we get a chance away from the guards, we’ll move together!”

A bald man leading them spoke, and from beneath his sleeve, a dagger subtly became visible.

And this dagger was secretly given to them by the assistant of Mr. Li when he had come to visit them.

…

When Lu Xiao emerged, he naturally scanned them, but only glanced once before shifting his gaze, as if they were unworthy of his attention.

The sight infuriated the gang.

The prison ground was piled with thick snow. Lu Xiao was assigned the task of sweeping the snow, handling a long broom along with a few fellow prisoners.

There was an unwritten rule in prison.

Prison, rife with cliques and gangs, had several “bosses.” The fate of newcomers, if not affiliated with a group, was to be targeted and brutally beaten up.

However, Lu Xiao seemed to be a perfect target.

Entering alone and radiating an air of proud aloofness, such characters were easily picked by the gang leaders to be put in their place.

So, when Lu Xiao was sweeping snow, suddenly someone shoved him hard, causing him to stagger almost to the point of falling.

At this scene, the gang arranged by Li Tingze immediately locked their gaze.

Soon after, a glint of excitement appeared in their eyes.

After all, they knew how tough a nut Lu Xiao was to crack, having someone else help them was more than welcome!

But soon, the situation spiraled out of control.

They saw Lu Xiao retaliate, but a group of men swiftly surrounded him, and the gang leader simply stood outside the circle, calmly observing the scene.

Probably because Lu Xiao was injured, or perhaps due to the sheer number of people, he was definitely at a disadvantage.

The gang just watched as Lu Xiao was being beaten, waiting to reap the benefits of a fisherman, but in the next second—
