Eternal Life: I Rely on Fortune Points for Improvement-Chapter 36: Well Done!

"Suspicious?"

"Are you referring to the issue with the Demon Slaying Skill?"

Yuan Tiangang felt puzzled.

After the death of the Red Lotus Sect’s Young Master, the Prison Director had examined the corpse and explained the situation where the Young Master, whose strength was supposedly greater, was killed instead.

It was believed to be due to the backlash of the Demon Slaying Skill.

Additionally, the Young Master had previously suffered punishments, causing physical damage and other reasons.

"No."

Han Dong shook his head.

"Commander Han, please speak your mind!"

Yuan Tiangang was an impatient man.

"I noticed three needle marks on the body, and initially, I didn’t give it much thought, until a month ago..."

Han Dong said honestly.

"Haha, Commander Han is suggesting that I was able to kill the Red Lotus Sect’s Young Master because I had help from that little prison guard named Jiang Feng?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang felt a surge of anger, as if he had been discriminated against.

"Commander Yuan, there’s no need to be angry. I was merely mentioning it casually, with no other intentions. I just hope you can be cautious; after all, luck isn’t always in our favor."

Han Dong soothed.

"Well, I should properly thank that Jiang Feng."

Yuan Tiangang said sarcastically.

"This... maybe I’m overthinking it. Commander Yuan, just pretend I never mentioned it."

Han Dong paused, sensing something ominous from Yuan Tiangang’s tone, feeling as though he might have caused trouble for Jiang Feng.

"No, I understand Commander Han’s goodwill. I will definitely remember it."

Yuan Tiangang stood up and left.

"Could this guy be overthinking?"

Watching Yuan Tiangang leave, Han Dong muttered.

"Commander Yuan, the brothers have already booked the Tianzi No. 1 private room at Fengyue Building, just waiting for tonight to drink until we drop with you."

Li Minhe and several Captains and Supervisors were circling Yuan Tiangang.

"Alright, I’ll definitely be there tonight, but you have to bring Jiang Feng!"

Yuan Tiangang said.

"Jiang Feng?"

The three Supervisors looked unfamiliar.

"Commander Yuan, are you talking about Jiang the Prison Chief, who was transferred from the first floor to the third floor?"

Li Minhe asked.

"Yes, he must come."

Yuan Tiangang patted Li Minhe on the shoulder, left with those words, and then departed.

"Alright then."

Li Minhe nodded, bowing. He was annoyed at himself for not thinking to bring Jiang Feng earlier, recalling Jiang Feng’s strength.

The message was passed to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng was surprised.

The Captains and Supervisors were hosting a feast for Yuan Tiangang, celebrating his promotion to Vice Commander of Zhenbei Prison, and Yuan Tiangang specifically wanted him to accompany them, even though he was just a Little Prison Chief.

Could it be that Li Minhe had told Yuan Tiangang about his strength?

"Prison Chief Jiang, Commander Han has something to discuss with you."

Suddenly, Chief Wang came over and said.

"Captain Li, I will come over tonight. I’ll go see Commander Han first."

Jiang Feng frowned even more, wondering why Han Dong wanted to meet him so suddenly.

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for you tonight!"

Captain Li called out from behind.

The tone was so friendly, as if he were the Prison Chief and Jiang Feng the Captain.

"Subordinate pays respect to Commander Han."

Jiang Feng saluted.

"There’s something I’m not sure how to tell you."

Han Dong seemed uneasy.

"Oh? Please feel free to speak."

Jiang Feng felt unsettled.

"Alright then!" Han Dong took a deep breath and said, "Commander Yuan just came to me, and I brought up the suspicion regarding the death of the Red Lotus Sect’s Young Master. I suspect it might be related to you. He didn’t seem pleased upon hearing it, as if afraid you might steal his credit. If he gives you trouble, use this token to deflect it."

With that, Han Dong threw a token to Jiang Feng.

It was her identity token, which could command all prison guards, captains, supervisors, and even Yuan Tiangang himself.

"What... This... Commander Han, you must be joking! How could I compete with Commander Yuan for the credit? I personally witnessed the Red Lotus Sect’s Young Master’s death; it was Commander Yuan who chopped him down!"

Jiang Feng lamented, feeling a headache coming on.

He regretted showing his might to intimidate Li Minhe in the prison a month ago.

"You really didn’t help Commander Yuan?"

Han Dong was skeptical.

"No, I can swear to the heavens!"

Jiang Feng raised his hand.

Han Dong frowned.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "If it’s unrelated to you, then there’s nothing to worry about, go on!"

"Huh?"

Jiang Feng didn’t expect just such a simple remark.

No other gesture.

Like taking him to explain the misunderstanding with Yuan Tiangang.

Only when he realized he still held Han Dong’s identity token did Jiang Feng leave with trepidation.

"Could it be that I really overthought?"

After Jiang Feng left, Han Dong was still pondering.

"Brother Jiang, where do you live? Tonight, I’ll send a carriage to pick you up."

Li Minhe had been waiting outside Han Dong’s courtyard.

"You’ve gotten me into trouble."

Seeing Li Minhe, Jiang Feng was filled with anger.

"Take my punch!"

"Ah... why did you hit..."

Li Minhe, caught off guard and bleeding from the nose, was about to scold, but then he saw Jiang Feng walking away with a token in hand. It was Commander Han’s token, and all his anger dissipated. He changed his words: "Well hit!"

Jiang Feng ignored Li Minhe.

Though this kind of person lacks ambition, he is clever. As long as there is someone stronger, he wouldn’t provoke them proactively.

But what should he do with Yuan Tiangang?

Soon it was time to change shifts and leave.

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and then splurged with the bonus he had just received—a full one hundred and fifty taels—to buy a mink coat, intending to personally give it to Yuan Tiangang to dispel his doubts.

Afterward, he didn’t even return home first but went to wait at the entrance of the Fengyue Building.

He lowered his stance.

No matter what.

Yuan Tiangang is different from Li Minhe.

Li Minhe is merely a Junior Captain; Jiang Feng can intimidate with force, even replace him.

But Yuan Tiangang is different.

He is the Vice Commander of Zhenbei Prison, second only to Han Dong.

And his current status isn’t just due to his strength but also for making achievements, having killed the Red Lotus Sect’s Young Master.

Even if Jiang Feng’s Fifth Grade Realm strength surpasses Yuan Tiangang’s, it’s hard to replace him.

So working under someone else’s command.

Jiang Feng can only endure for now.

About half an hour later.

Captains and Supervisors gathered at the entrance of the Fengyue Building, waiting alongside Jiang Feng.

After a quarter of an hour.

A palanquin appeared before them.

The person coming out of the palanquin was none other than the Vice Commander of Zhenbei Prison, Yuan Tiangang.

"Lord Yuan!"

"My lord, this way, please."

Several Supervisors hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

All the Captains, along with Jiang Feng, were standing behind, nodding and greeting Yuan Tiangang.

"My lords, sorry to keep you waiting."

Yuan Tiangang clasped his hands towards everyone.

He immediately spotted Jiang Feng among the crowd but merely glanced over him and ignored him.

Jiang Feng felt uneasy, but like everyone else, he wore a smile, playing up to Yuan Tiangang.

"My lord, the food and drinks are ready; let’s head inside!"

"Alright!"

The three Supervisors escorted Yuan Tiangang into the Tianzi No. 1 private room.

Jiang Feng and others followed closely.

Inside the private room.

There was a large round table that could seat over twenty people.

It was laden with steaming delicious food.

Everyone took their seats one after another.

The three Supervisors sat next to Yuan Tiangang, with the rest of the Captains following suit.

When Jiang Feng intended to sit down, the only remaining chair in the room was stepped on by Yuan Tiangang.
