Chapter 1234: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 53 (Part 2)

The steam kept rising from the teacup. Ran Zhi quietly watched some recent news. The city was becoming more and more stable.

There were many desserts on the table in the living room. They were small and exquisite. Ran Zhi ate some of each. It was close to 11 o'clock, but Ran Zhi had told the people in Section 11 that he wanted to eat at 12:30 today. Today's lunch was black pepper fried chicken with good black tea.

After Ran Zhi turned off the light and shadow screen, he came to the window with all the bars. Looking at the prisoners who had just returned from work in the exercise yard below, he smiled and shook his head. Two years of prison life passed in a flash. Ran Zhi even almost forgot that he was in prison.

Everything in the prison was good. Just at 8 o'clock this morning, Ran Zhi had just seen his son and daughter, who sent this year's 1 million.

In this prison, there are many businessmen like Ran Zhi who have been involved in commercial crimes because of black gold issues. Ran Zhi would chat with some of his fellow businessmen from time to time. Section 11 was also trustworthy. The cells that were auctioned at the beginning did not increase in price.

Now a cell has been auctioned at a high price of 1.5 million, but there are still people who need it. There are 30 such rooms now.

In such a place where no one cares, no one will care how the prisoners are treated. Those businessmen who have gone out are also tight-lipped and have not said the problems here. Some businessmen even took the initiative to help conceal the problems here.

After all, everyone knows that one day he might come back, and then it will be over.

Today, Ran Zhi wanted to walk in the exercise yard below. He pressed an emergency notification button on a light and shadow screen beside the door. Soon two people from Section 11 came over and opened the door. As soon as Ran Zhi went out, the two respectfully guarded Ran Zhi on the left and right and walked all the way.

"Mr. Ran Zhi, it's great to believe you."

"Yes, thanks to you, we made a lot of money in the stock market."

Ran Zhi smiled and nodded.

"No big deal."

Taking the elevator dedicated to members of the Action Section, they came all the way to the cafeteria at the bottom. At this time, many prisoners seemed to be extremely hungry and were waiting for food. Many people looked at Ran Zhi's neck, without a collar.

Soon Ran Zhi encountered a lot of hostile eyes. There are many privileged prisoners in the prison who do not need to wear collars. Such prisoners usually do not have any intersection with other ordinary prisoners.

A large number of prisoners playing basketball or football in the exercise yard noticed Ran Zhi at this time. Many people gathered together and pointed at Ran Zhi, but they did not dare to say anything. No prisoner dared to do anything to these special prisoners, because once they did, the result would be miserable. They were like guests of Section 11, and they were escorted by people from the Operation Section when they went out.

Ran Zhi looked up at the dazzling sunlight. During these days in prison, Ran Zhi knew more clearly what kind of benefits money could bring to him.

People will degenerate, and Ran Zhi knew this very well. No matter how a person was in the past, after being stained with some colors, the accumulation of quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes. Recently, Ran Zhi often dreams of himself when he was young.

Ran Zhi once pondered a question, whether he was a good person or a bad person, but now he no longer thinks about these questions. When he was young, he was mocked again and again by the so-called fate, and was pushed to the point of collapse again and again, but Ran Zhi never collapsed. He felt that he should have survived.

Ran Zhi smiled and glanced at the prisoners in the exercise yard. At this time, he noticed a man squatting in a corner who was also not wearing a collar. He had a clean face, pale skin, bony bones, and an expressionless face. The whole person looked a little gloomy.

"That's"

"Hydra."

Ran Zhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person in the Hydra case, which has been written into various textbooks in the city, was actually here.

Ran Zhi walked over slowly, and the scene of himself picking up a gun flashed in his mind from time to time. He smiled on his face. At this time, Ran Zhi slowed down his pace. He could feel that Hydra, who was curled up in the corner, was sending out a dangerous signal from head to toe.

Looking at Hydra's appearance, the wise man couldn't help but think of something in the past, which happened a long time ago, before he picked up the gun.

One day, Ran Zhi was helping on the construction site. Because his father forgot to bring tools, Ran Zhi volunteered to help his father go back to get the tools. Then Ran Zhi still remembered that day, the light was really dazzling, so dazzling that it was a little dazzling, and his broken house looked a little different in the sun.

The blood-stained ground, the messy room, the mother fell naked in the pool of blood, and the sun sprinkled on the blood, which was a little dazzling, more dazzling than usual.

The father's crying, the gossip of the neighbors, because the mother couldn't do any heavy physical labor when she was alive, the father worked hard to take care of the mother, wanted to give her a good living environment, and gave the best things to himself and his mother.

Every day, the mother would do some fine chores at home and dress up a little, because she wanted to greet the father and son who came home after a hard day's work with a beautiful and gentle attitude. People nearby often said behind her back that the mother dressed up beautifully every day because she wanted to attract rich men. The father just smiled, because he knew very well that everything the mother did was just to add a touch of beauty to this seemingly dull home.

The local managers knew who did it, but no one stood up. After handling their mother's funeral, the father and son were tied up in a room by a group of people. They threatened their father not to talk nonsense and then gave him a sum of money.

Ran Zhi still remembers that when his father returned home, he began to pack up his things. He was obviously in pain and knew who it was, but even if he chose to move away, his father still did not do anything out of line. Instead, he taught himself every day that people should be honest and have their own bottom line and principles.

Although Ran Zhi was not clear and lived in anger and pain every day, he gradually understood that his father was because of him. His father never wanted to let himself be infected with hatred and anger. He always just followed what his mother said and cultivated himself into an excellent person.

Finally, Ran Zhi grew up and gradually understood what was behind his father's cowardice and patience. He also understood that cowardice was sometimes a manifestation of strength.

However, fate is still constantly playing tricks on Ran Zhi. Ran Zhi lost his father, and his father made a choice at the moment when his legs were amputated, not wanting to burden Ran Zhi.

After his father's death, tragedy came again one after another, and the only girl Ran Zhi loved chose to endure humiliation for himself.

Ran Zhi knew very well that he should die that night, or that Ran Zhi had already died that night.

After his wife faced evil again and again, Ran Zhi still chose to be cowardly, just like many people at the bottom, only cowardice can protect himself and everything he needs to bear behind him.

Ran Zhi did it and succeeded, and finally got happiness and harvested the ransom he had paid to fate.

"Are you Hydra? My name is Ran Zhi."

Ran Zhi smiled and squatted in front of Hydra. In an instant, his head began to roar, and the sounds around him began to fade away. He felt that this man was also an extremely cowardly man. The long years of prison life may have wiped out the last bit of his mind.

A pair of blank and extremely empty eyes, there is nothing left in the body, he should have died long ago, just a walking corpse.

"I want to invite you to have lunch together!"

Ran Zhi smiled and stretched out a hand, but Hydra did not respond, looking at Ran Zhi with empty eyes.

Ran Zhi did not intend to leave, and did not retract his outstretched hand. He knew very well that if he did not do something, this cowardly man, who was as cowardly as himself in the past, would die. The moment he was released from prison, he would choose death because he had nowhere to go and no way to go.

Time passed by minute by minute, and many people in the prison looked strangely at the man who had been squatting next to Hydra in the corner of the courtyard wall. Many people had seen this man, a wealthy businessman who was arrested for participating in money laundering.

"What are you thinking about!"

Hydra finally spoke, his voice sounded dry and gloomy.

"What do you think!"

When their eyes met, Hydra's expression changed slightly. Ran Zhi smiled and nodded. He put his outstretched hand on Hydra's shoulder and put his other hand on it. Hydra's eyes widened and his expression began to move. His face, which was originally as cold as frost, regained some warmth.

Ran Zhi's eyes showed understanding, and he smiled tolerantly and hugged Hydra. The sun shone behind them little by little. Hydra stared at the light behind Ran Zhi in a daze.

"Let's have lunch together, Mr. Hydra!"

Hydra's head nodded involuntarily for a while, and his eyes, which were originally a little dry, became moist. He felt Ran Zhi's kind invitation, the understanding in his eyes, and the warm hug that made his body, which had been cold for more than ten years, feel warm.

Ran Zhi was very happy today. He smiled and raised his head. Under the strange eyes of the two clerks, he opened his arms and bathed in the sun.

"Both of you, can you please help me prepare a good lunch? And dinner, I hope to spend the New Year with Mr. Hydra tonight."

Hydra trembled, staring at the plain-looking and short man in front of him. He was the first person who truly understood him.

Many people had comforted him in the past. Peristan and Tamayi would come to him enthusiastically every day, but Hydra had never felt a trace of warmth, because the two sympathized with him, including many people in the prison who sympathized with him in the past.

And the current operation department has given him the conditions that he can directly choose the department he likes after he is released from prison and become a level 3 official.

Hydra does not need any pity or any favorable conditions. His heart, immersed in a damp and dark corner, only needs a little respect, an understanding smile, a warm hug, and a kind gesture, which is enough.

And the man in front of him did it, just very simply. Hydra wiped away his tears and looked at the light at his feet. There was a trace of fear in his timid eyes.

"Let's go, Mr. Hydra! The application has been approved."

Ran Zhi smiled and made a gesture of invitation. Hydra hesitated, but the confusion in his eyes was gradually disappearing.

"Light cannot be caught, Mr. Hydra!"

Ran Zhi raised one hand above his head, covering it in front of his eyes, looking at the red fingers, and then smiled, with a slightly bitter smile.

Ran Zhi knew very well what was going on in Hydra's heart. He had gradually turned into a case, a symbol, and the final result of the justice that some people believed in.

There have been countless discussions about Hydra in the city, and within the business department, especially Alpha, she constantly spoke out for Hydra. She had a strong sense of justice in her heart, and this rational sense of justice drove her to plan Let’s zero in on the unjust trial that was based on public opinion.

There is also a famous cartoonist, Perestan, who constantly speaks for Hydera, and his voice is even stronger. In Ran Zhi's opinion, Perestan's voice is strong, as strong as a beam of light. , but the light will not stop, and it will not even notice the shadow. This kind of perceptual justice comes from the people, because the imbalance of social justice caused by the deteriorating urban environment happens to be at that point in time. , Hydra hit the muzzle.

However, this matter has been debated over the years, and everyone wants to restore fairness in the Hydera case. Ran Zhi doesn't think there is anything wrong with their approach.

The light that was too strong was enough to cover everything, enough to drown out all the darkness, but the darkness did not disappear, but always existed.

No one noticed what Hydra really needed. Everyone just regarded him as a symbol and a case. In fact, Hydra was a person, a person who was still alive, had a heartbeat, and could breathe.

Whether he is guilty or not, in Ran Zhi's opinion, is no longer important, because it is meaningless to Hydera. Regardless of whether he is guilty or innocent in the real debate, all he really needs in his heart is a touch of ordinary warmth. Just sunshine.

Ran Zhi stretched out a hand and saw that Hydra was still hesitating. He did not turn around, but looked at Hydra seriously.

"Thanks!"

A trembling hand stretched out, little by little, from the shadow. Ran Zhi pulled Hydra and pulled him out of the shadow. For a moment, Hydra's eyes widened, and she felt the radiation for the first time. The light on the body is extremely warm.

"If you want to catch the light, you must first learn how to let the light shine on you, Hydra!"

Ran Zhi smiled and Hydra followed.

"If you don't know how, I can teach you!"

Some memories began to pop up again. Ran Zhi taught a low-level one-eyed little gourd some things a few years ago. He should be living a better life now. The little fox was as cowardly as the Hydra next to him. Man, Ran Zhi pulled him out of the abyss of cowardice.

In his memory, only Eddie understands everything about him, and Ran Zhi naturally knows everything about Eddie, so Ran Zhi decides to help Eddie and pull up those who are desperate because of cowardice. There are many such people. In the entire society, Too many to count.

After all, there are very few geniuses, so few that they are pitiful. No one is a genius like Alpha, who can control his own destiny and become the existence that everyone advertises. But Ran Zhi knows very well that such a too strong light will not dissipate it. The shadows falling on the ground may continuously enlarge the shadows to the point where light can no longer reach them.

12 o'clock in the morning

Accompanied by a burst of furious roars, a young doctor angrily kicked a skinny man. Food spilled on the floor. The man hugged his head and cried. His expression looked perverse and his speech was a little confused.

The young doctor gasped. He looked at the patient whose head was broken after being kicked by him. He was going crazy and couldn't stand everything in Frye Mental Hospital.

"Sorry, sorry, what did I do!"

The young doctor looked at the patient who was in agony. This skinny man was a slave.

Most of the slaves who entered the hospital, with the help of all walks of life, some of them returned to normal and went to work in some factories. Many people who were slaves from birth continued to stay here to study and help manage some seriously ill people. Or, more and more slaves are returning to society, but mentally ill patients are often sent in.

A hand was placed on the young doctor's shoulder, and Fry walked in with a smile. The young doctor looked at Fry blankly, and Fry patted his shoulder with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. Just go and eat. Just let me come here."

Frye walked to the patient, squatted on the ground, looked at his bruised head, and carefully stretched out his hands to deal with it. However, the patient suddenly hugged Frye like crazy and started biting him. Just smiling, grinning slightly from the pain.

The young doctor looked on dumbfounded and wanted to stop him, but found that the patient's strength seemed to be decreasing.

"If you don't eat, you won't get better, Mr. 2059!"

The patient kept shaking his head and huddled in the corner in pain. Most of the people who came here didn't even remember their names, only their work numbers.

Frye looked at the food on the ground, started to sort it with his hands, and then put it in the box.

"Bring me a clean one."

After a while, the young doctor brought a meal, but saw that Frye was already eating the meal that had just fallen to the ground.

"Dr. Fry, you"

"I'm still in good health. After all, food is tight and cannot be wasted."

Frye brought the meal to 2059. He was trembling, with a gleam in his eyes. Frye took out the spoon and held it in his hand.

"Trust me! I will cure all of you."

After a while, 2059 calmed down, ate obediently, and went to bed.

"Dr. Frye, I'm really sorry. He refused to eat. If he continues like this, he will starve to death, so I'm a little emotional."

Frye smiled and patted the young doctor's shoulder.

"Once you start to think that you are doing this for his own good, you might as well think about it more and coax him to eat like a child. It's okay. The work pressure here is really high. I'm very relieved that you can stick to it. Thank you!"

Frye said and walked away, smiling and stepped into a room.

"Miss 1391, the weather seems to be pretty good today. I heard that you planted a seed today. Can I take a look?"

The young doctor looked at Fry quietly. Many doctors who came here to help in the past were warm-hearted at the beginning, but many could not persist for three months. But Fry was different. He seemed to greet his neighbors every day. He would patrol until the evening every day and chat with patients from time to time. Even if they were talking nonsense, he would still treat every patient seriously.

There are only 11 doctors left in the entire Fry Psychiatric Hospital, but half of them are planning to leave here. They can't stand it anymore. The passion and enthusiasm in the past have been tortured by these crazy people and are almost gone.

At this time, Fry smiled and nodded, looking at the black stone held in 1391's hand. The woman was smiling foolishly, but the smile seemed very innocent.

"Very good, it will grow, Miss 1391. When the seeds grow, you will be fine!"

At this time, there was a roar of machines outside the hospital. Some doctors ran out. Fry walked out quickly. It was a take-off and landing plane of Section 4. A new batch of medicines were delivered. Many doctors began to help carry the medicines.

Fry walked over gratefully. Hua Shen had already carried a light and shadow surgery bag and walked over.

"Always bothering you, Hua Shen."

"Just take me there. If anyone needs surgery, just call me directly."

Fry hummed. He looked at the tired doctors next to him and knew that they had tried their best. They really tried their best. Now there are more than 100 patients who need surgery. With such a large number, the number of doctors is a bit scarce. Many of them have been delayed for a long time and can't be delayed any longer, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

Every time, Hua Shen can only rely on Hua Shen. He will come to the hospital to help without hesitation and never complain.

"You have gradually become the doctor you dreamed of, Fry!"

Fry was a little surprised. The two were in a large room, preparing to perform surgery on the patient. Hua Shen smiled, raised one hand, and green particles floated in the air.

"Remember, we once discussed what a doctor is! I am very pleased to see that you can embark on your own path as a doctor."

Fry choked and hummed. He was able to embark on this path in the true sense, all thanks to Hua Shen, thanks to him all the time, just like a lighthouse on the dark sea level, as long as you look at the lighthouse, you can find the sea road.

There are currently 13,023 people in the mental hospital. Most hospitals don't want to take in mental patients without money, so basically all the mental patients in the city come here.

The basic house is basically complete with the donation of the city association. Those old-fashioned home appliances are all available, and there are also some cars used to travel around the hospital area. Now the most scarce thing is food.

The Food Association donates some food every month, but now the amount of food is getting less and less. The only thing Fry can do is to distribute the food to people in different situations.

Most of the higher-quality food is distributed to some growing children and some seriously ill patients. Although the mentally ill patients sent by the hospital will receive some money from their families and some hospitals, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Some teachers who teach here are free of charge, and some even donate their salaries. The original punitive fines of the family can solve most of the problems, but this compensation is not a one-time payment, but a phased payment.

Frye can't accept this. He has run to the General Affairs Department many times, and Locke just told him that because the specific conviction of the Law Office is still needed, Frye learned that this huge amount of punitive compensation was filled into the construction.

The practice of choosing the majority and abandoning the minority made Frye unable to remain calm. He had a quarrel with Locke in the General Affairs Department last year.

But in the end, Fry chose not to say anything and could only bear it by himself. He thought of Alpha at first, but in the end he didn't tell Alpha anything, because Fry knew very well that if Congress didn't save the Angus family, they would be finished, and once they were finished, this construction project related to the lives of the whole city would be difficult to implement, and the city would collapse.

Fry quietly looked at Hua Shen who had already started the operation. He didn't care about power as always, and was only immersed in his own medical world. Fry couldn't do the same as Hua Shen.

The land under my feet belongs to the Angus family. It is also because the Angus family gave this place to Frye and paid for Frye to build a mental hospital that these slaves now have a place to live.

Gary Locke also said that he could only wait for the tax revenue to grow slowly before slowly using the money to rebuild the lives of the slaves here. Now there are more than 7,000 slaves working in the factory, but the remaining 13,000 is an extremely large amount, plus there are a large number of mental patients.

"Have confidence in yourself, Frye, you can do it."

Hua Shen, who was undergoing surgery, looked at Frye, who looked tired. He smiled and nodded. He could no longer trouble Alpha. She helped him too much and helped the city too much. She also needed to have her own life.

Even Alpha's own family stood in front of her, and she did not show any mercy. This is difficult for many people to do. At this time, the Angus family could not have too many problems, otherwise the construction of the city would be difficult to complete.

In the more than 20 years of contact with the couple, Frye knew that the couple really wanted to do something for the city to make it better.

Snap

A small bag was left in front of Fry, and the banknotes inside were exposed. Fry was a little surprised and looked at Hua Shen who was still in surgery.

"Although the money is not much, part of it is my salary, and part of it is forced to me by some rich people after I helped them perform surgery. I kept it. There are more than 300,000 yuan."

"Sorry, I'm really sorry!"

Fry said, and Hua Shen smiled and nodded.

"At least this money is enough for the people here to eat for more than ten days. Come on!"

Fry hummed, and his emotions were a little difficult to control for a while. He wiped his tears, picked up the money on the ground, turned around and left, and hurriedly called a liquid food supply company. At the price of 50 cents a can, he spent all the more than 300,000 yuan in his hand. They said that the food would be delivered in the afternoon at the latest.

Fry leaned against the wall with peace of mind. There were noisy sounds everywhere outside, and there were a lot of crazy words. He was a little tired, so he curled up in the chair and closed his eyes.
