Back in familiar territory, the air was filled with the quirky shouts of old acquaintances.

"Yo! Isn't this my Sister Xu? How come you're back in here so soon? Couldn't be caught stealing because you're out of cash, right?"

"Nonsense! Sister Xu obviously couldn't part with her old gals! Isn't that right?"

I rolled my eyes and shook my head helplessly.

These old mates have a few more years of their sentence, looks like we'll be seeing each other often.

Right before being led to the cell, the guard suddenly gave me a peculiar smile, then nodded indicating for me to go in on my own.

I felt a little weird inside, and nervously stepped into the cell.

Suddenly, I spotted a familiar figure.

Yo! Isn't that Tao Jiang's mom?

She turned upon hearing the noise, and when she saw me, she was stupefied, eyes full of terror.

"You... you're here too?"

Heh heh, I cracked my knuckles, and, with a posse of prison pals, cheerily walked over to them.
