72: Chapter 71 Trash Work

72 -71 Trash Work

The first day out of the solitary cell passed calmly, and so did the second day, and Yang Yi even made contact with a prison guard; with a small amount of money, he could be transferred to the maximum-security area.

Yang Yi’s mood was good now, but he still didn’t dare to shower, because there was just too high a chance of being cornered again by the Boxing King’s people in the bathroom, and the consequences would be too severe.

Apart from transferring to the maximum-security area sooner, Yang Yi really had no other options.

So, the day after meeting with the prison guard, Yang Yi was particularly expectant and thrilled; if everything went smoothly, he could move to the maximum-security area today.

It was time for yard out again, and Yang Yi came to the agreed spot with Buddy.

Still separated by a chain-link fence, Yang Yi stood in front of the prison guard, but before Yang Yi could even ask, the guard’s face darkened as he said, “You cannot be transferred to the maximum-security area, it’s over.”

Yang Yi was both shocked and anxious as he asked, “Why?”

But the guard, still with a displeased face, replied, “I filed a request.

Normally, no one would reject such a thing, but the application to transfer you to the maximum-security area was rejected.

The reason is the Boxing King is about to be discharged and come back; he took action a week before you did.”

Yang Yi was stunned; his wish to transfer to the maximum-security area wasn’t just to avoid the Boxing King, but the Boxing King had acted earlier than him, determined to keep him here.

The tree wants to stay still, but the wind won’t stop; Yang Yi had intended to slip away, but the Boxing King wanted to trap him here to await his return for revenge.

As the guard turned to leave, Yang Yi immediately called out in a panic, “Wait!

Please wait a moment!”

After a moment of thought, Yang Yi spoke in a deep voice to the guard, “For the same money, could you give me work?”

The guard paused, looking at Yang Yi and asked, “Work?”

“Yes, work.

Give me a job, can you?”

The guard frowned and said, “Only very well-behaved inmates get the opportunity to work, but…

as long as you are in this section, giving you a job should be no problem.

However, the easy jobs are all taken, and it might require an opportunity to arise.”

Yang Yi immediately said, “Any job will do, even dealing with trash is fine.

My cellmate deals with trash, and from what he tells me, it seems that not many inmates are willing to do that, so perhaps there are job opportunities available?”

After thinking for a while, the guard nodded, “I’ll ask around.

Why do you want to do this?”

Yang Yi offered a smile and said, “Because working gives me the chance to shower alone, especially dealing with trash.

Sir, right now I have to avoid the Boxing King’s men, so I don’t dare to use the communal showers.

I’ve been in solitary for a week, and it’s been over two days since I got out, but I still haven’t had a shower yet, so if you could help me sort this out quickly, I would be very grateful.”

Neither the request nor the reasoning was excessive; although work opportunities were for good-behaving inmates, Yang Yi was willing to pay.

“I’ll ask around and try to sort it out for you as quickly as possible, but you’ve got to pay either way this time, I can’t keep running these errands for you for nothing,” said the guard.

The guard’s demand was a bit excessive, but Yang Yi still smiled and said, “No problem.”

The Boxing King’s prior actions had stripped Yang Yi of the possibility to switch areas.

Naturally, he was preparing to seek revenge on Yang Yi upon his return, so Yang Yi also had to change his plans.

Yang Yi came to find Zhang Yong, not to fight with these prisoners, but his plan was repeatedly thwarted by the Boxing King, so, even though Yang Yi had already lost all patience, there was no choice but to endure.

The Boxing King had to be dealt with, otherwise not only would Yang Yi achieve nothing, but even his own life would be in danger.

The guard left, and Buddy scratched his head, whispering to Yang Yi, “Buddy, it looks like you’re in a big trouble.

The Boxing King won’t let you go.”

Yang Yi said expressionlessly, “Yes, he won’t let me go.

Do you have any way to help me out of this predicament?”

Buddy shook his head, “Sorry, I can’t help with this kind of thing.

I can put in a word for you, but now I don’t think it’s necessary.

Since the Boxing King is worried you’ll run away, he’s obviously waiting to finish you off; maybe he’s just planning to teach you a lesson, hopefully that’s all it is.

After all, if it’s just a beating, you might still survive.”

Yang Yi said in a deep voice, “How tough is the Boxing King?”

“He’s tough, very tough.

Only gang members can thrive here, but the Boxing King wasn’t one when he first arrived.

He established a gang with his own fists.

That’s it, and he has never been defeated.

One time he got stabbed twice, but in the end, he was the one still standing.”

With a face full of sympathy, Buddy patted Yang Yi on the shoulder and said with a bitter smile, “Sorry buddy, I can’t help you with this.

You’re on your own.”

Yang Yi let out a long sigh and said, “Yes, I can only rely on myself now.

Buddy, can you find out when the Boxing King will return?

I’ll pay whatever it costs.”

Buddy quickly said, “Sure, that’s no problem.

I’ll inquire right away.

I’ll let you know as soon as there’s news.

See you tomorrow, buddy.”

Buddy’s attitude was somewhat perfunctory, because he felt Yang Yi no longer had any value to offer him, so he left quickly.

This time, Yang Yi thought he would have to wait a day to get an answer, but by the afternoon, his goal was accomplished.

Yang Yi was in his cell when a guard approached his door and called out loudly, “3387, starting tomorrow you’ll be responsible for garbage disposal, along with Chris.

If you have any questions, ask him.”

The guard merely informed him then left, while Chris looked at Yang Yi in astonishment and said, “You’re going to handle garbage with me?

Why?

How did you manage that?”

Yang Yi smiled and said, “No reason.

I just wanted something to do, and garbage disposal comes with a chance to shower alone, doesn’t it?”

Chris, baffled, said, “How did you get the job?

You were just in solitary.

Alright, I shouldn’t ask, sorry.”

Chris lay back down, not asking Yang Yi any more questions, although he was still very curious.

Yang Yi smiled and said, “Question, what exactly do we need to do for garbage disposal?

Could you explain it to me in advance?”

Calis casually said, “It’s just garbage disposal, mostly from the kitchen, along with leftover food and such.

Basically, burn what can be burned in the incinerator, and bury what can’t be burned.

What else could there be?”

“Then what can be burned and what can’t be burned?”

Chris laughed, “According to the rules, plastic can’t be burned because our incinerator doesn’t have a purification system, but who cares?

So, years ago everything was just thrown into the furnace to burn.

As for polluting the air or whatever, who cares?”

Yang Yi nodded and smiled, “Yes, who cares indeed.

It would be nice if everything could just be burned; that would be simple.”
