Chapter 276: The Truth Comes to Light

Outside the prison cell, Steward Hu clasped his hands behind his back and paced underneath the corridor, his mind consumed with anxiety.

"Won't let me inside, insists I wait out here."

Steward Hu halted his steps, his face furrowed in worry.

"Does he even know how to interrogate criminals? What if he messes up? Should I drug Hai Pig a little, make his mind less clear?"

"But if I do that, his confession becomes useless."

"Ah! What a headache!"

"I'll go in and take a look!"

Unable to rest easy, Steward Hu stepped forward towards the room. But just as he reached the prison door, he recalled the man's instructions, gritted his teeth, and retreated a few steps.

He repeated this back-and-forth hesitation.

Finally, Steward Hu steeled his nerves. He was going in to eavesdrop!

But at that moment, a wave of icy cold pierced the air as the man emerged from the cell.
