Chapter 734 - 648: Second Prison Is Full of Loyal Officials

In the corridor.

Liu Yi and Song Ping’an stood straight behind Feng Mu.

Suddenly!

"Thud thud thud——!"

A frantic rush of footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the second-floor staircase.

Liu Yi and Song Ping’an almost simultaneously looked up.

They saw Madam Li, usually so dignified and composed, now rushing down from the second floor, stumbling as if she had lost her spirit, completely losing her usual demeanor.

Feng Mu’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he rushed forward in two steps, with his face immediately showing the right amount of urgency and concern:

"Madam! What’s happened to you? What’s going on? Why are you so panicked?"

Li Hanyu didn’t stop, heading straight towards the master bedroom, her voice trembling and choking with unstoppable emotion, repeating over and over:

"Awake... my son is awake! He woke up!"

The sharp, distorted sound of sobbing was like a huge stone thrown into still water, piercing through the silence of the entire corridor and spreading like ripples.

The murmuring officials in the living room abruptly stopped talking. They looked at each other, their expressions filled with suspicion and uncertainty, each with different thoughts.

Some people reacted extremely quickly, suddenly standing up and hurrying towards the corridor; others, still in shock, remained frozen in place, their eyes flickering.

Du Changle’s facial muscles twitched several times, his eyes flashing with sharp light. Then he slapped his thigh and stood up, his fat cheeks squeezing out two trembling smiles as he quickly pushed his way to the front of the crowd.

Li Hanyu, in her haste, lost her balance, her high heels twisting sideways, her whole body seemingly about to fall forward.

"Madam, watch out!"

Feng Mu reacted quickly, steadily supporting her as she leaned forward.

With Feng Mu’s support, Li Hanyu had to slow down a bit.

Tears filled her eyes, and in the huge emotional fluctuation, her gaze instinctively swept quickly over the corridor.

She glanced at Feng Mu’s expression, also looking at the expressions of his subordinates behind him, and also at the faces of the Executive Government officials coming out of the living room.

Feng Mu’s reaction was textbook-level acting.

At the moment the four words "my son woke up" pierced his ears, the "urgency" carefully crafted on his face froze instantly like a wax figure splashed with ice water.

Immediately, he abruptly stopped, his body halting due to the unexpected "shock," his muscles under his skin seeming to explode, his face bursting with astonishment.

After the astonishment, under Feng Mu’s glasses appeared an intense "brightness" that seemed to pierce through the lenses.

"Prison Director Qian... woke up?!"

Feng Mu exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling with "excitement," soaked with a hint of cautious disbelief, as if afraid to wake up from a dream.

"Is it true, madam?! Did Prison Director Qian... really wake up?!"

He repeated eagerly, as if he needed to personally confirm this sudden surprise again.

The tremor full of joy, the unspeakable excitement, under the [Deceiver’s Glasses] and [Proof of Undying Loyalty lv3], seemed more touching than even Li Hanyu’s display of emotion.

After all, Li Hanyu was putting on an act, but Feng Mu—he truly had no idea about this!

At least in Li Hanyu’s current perception, this was the ironclad truth.

Meanwhile, Liu Yi and Song Ping’an’s minds were momentarily plunged into a huge "confusion"!

What the hell?

Their minds were instantly swept by a category 12 storm, fragments of information clashing madly.

What did Madam Li just say—"my son woke up"?

This tone, this state... clearly she just got the news herself.

No, aren’t you Prison Director Qian’s mother, how come you just found out that he woke up, wasn’t it you who asked the minister to come over?

So, there was a big issue here!

Liu Yi and Song Ping’an weren’t confused that Prison Director Qian woke up; they had already known about it on their way here. What confused them was... did he just wake up now?

Could it be... it wasn’t Madam Li who informed the minister about Prison Director Qian waking up to call him over, but the minister predicted in advance that he would wake up at this time tonight, which was why they came over?

The sequence of cause and effect behind this!!!

Think about it, think carefully, doesn’t it make you feel... thrilled!

If Prison Director Qian’s awakening wasn’t an unexpected medical miracle, but because the minister made him wake up tonight, then what does that mean?

It means everything... is under the minister’s control!

Moreover, thinking even deeper—maybe the explosion before wasn’t an accident either, and it was...

Liu Yi really spent too much time with Gong Qi, instantly conjuring various conspiracy theories in his mind, then felt all the blood in his body seemingly boil at once.

A current blended with astonishment and extreme excitement instantly coursed through his scalp.

All these complex psychological activities only lasted a brief moment in reality.

The confusion on Liu Yi’s face quickly faded, replaced by a smile of utter "excitement" and "ecstasy" from the depths of his soul.

A smile so bright it dazzled, so genuine it burnt, as if hearing the most beautiful news in the world.

His mouth widened, revealing white teeth, his eyes sparkling from the extreme "excitement," his entire spirit visibly lifted with energy.

Fantastic!

Everything is under the minister’s control, everything is the minister’s design, it’s really... fantastic!

Liu Yi was genuinely thrilled for the bright future of the Second Prison under the minister’s lead, his expression bore not a trace of acting, purely a natural overflow of his enormous shock and admiration.
