Chapter 302: Chapter 179: Just Deserts

A hospital in Yangcheng City!

Ah Bu stared lifelessly at the white ceiling, his face ashen.

The ward door opened, and two doctors walked in, accompanied by two young men in uniform.

"Oh, you’re awake," the lead doctor said, a bit surprised to see Ah Bu’s eyes open. "Looks like you’re in pretty good shape!"

As if hearing the doctor’s voice, Ah Bu’s vacant gaze slowly began to focus.

He turned his head to look at his attending physician, a hint of hope in his eyes as he asked, "Doctor, I should be fine, right? There’s nothing seriously wrong?"

"Er..." The attending physician paused for a moment before speaking. "We had to remove your testicles... completely. Also, while we successfully reattached the tendons in your hands, you won’t be able to lift anything heavy ever again."

"Completely removed? Doctor, you’re lying to me, right? Doctor, tell me! Are you lying to me?!" Ah Bu’s face contorted as he tried to get up from the bed, only to find his hands completely powerless. Even his groin throbbed with a dull ache.

Deep down, he already knew the doctor was telling the truth; he just wasn’t willing to believe it.

"Inmate 23333, quiet down!" The two uniformed men stepped forward and pinned Ah Bu to the bed.

Ah Bu was in excellent shape, but in his current state, how could he possibly be a match for two young men?

A brief struggle sent a fresh wave of pain through his groin, and he instantly fell quiet.

He lay on the bed without a word, but tears flowed unstoppably from the corners of his eyes, as if he had finally accepted his fate.

Thinking about everything that had happened recently, Ah Bu felt he was genuinely cursed.

It had all started when he was reported for extorting money from a client while diving, even pulling off the tourist’s oxygen mask. Of all the rotten luck, the whole thing was caught on his colleague’s body cam.

To make matters worse, a big shot from corporate headquarters happened to witness it. Ah Bu was immediately taken away for investigation, and similar incidents from the past two years were unearthed. The corporation sued him, and he was sent to prison.

’Even though he was sentenced to eight years, he was still young. He’d only be in his thirties when he got out, perfectly able to keep up with the times.’

But he never in a million years expected what would happen next: an accident while he was on sewing machine duty...

He was already bitter about being in prison. After all, he hadn’t killed anyone or committed arson; he’d just used his position to make some extra cash. But the corporation’s legal department had gone for the jugular, petitioning the court for the harshest possible sentence.

Naturally, Ah Bu was filled with resentment. But he was just a small fry and didn’t dare go up against the corporation. So, he took out his frustrations during work, pumping the sewing machine pedal like a madman. He had no idea if he was making the clothes properly—he just wanted to vent.

But disaster has a way of striking when you least expect it. Because of the high-speed operation, the sewing machine’s internal control system overloaded and began to smoke...

And then, in another stroke of terrible luck, Ah Bu stood up and slapped the control panel, causing the whole machine to blow up.

Parts of the sewing machine flew out like shrapnel. Being the closest, Ah Bu bore the brunt of the damage. His groin, unfortunately positioned directly in front of the machine, was struck by sharp fragments.

Blood immediately began to pour down his pant legs. After the prison medics administered first aid, they rushed him to the hospital.

This scene, however, left the men Ye Feng had sent completely stunned. Their plan hadn’t even begun, and the target had already managed to self-destruct.

After some investigation, they learned that Ah Bu’s testicles had been completely pulverized by the flying parts, with zero chance of reattachment. On top of that, the tendons in his exposed hands were also damaged to varying degrees. The man was, for all intents and purposes, crippled.

This saved the men planning to rough him up a lot of trouble. They all marveled, "The wicked get what’s coming to them!" They reported Ah Bu’s condition up the chain, and the unsuspecting Ye Feng assumed his own people had arranged it.

After this incident, the attitudes of the other inmates improved dramatically for a while. They even became more diligent in their work, terrified of becoming the next Ah Bu.

All in all, you could say Ah Bu had done a good deed. He served as a cautionary tale to all the other inmates on the importance of doing things with a calm and peaceful heart.

The attending physician carefully examined Ah Bu. Seeing no major problems aside from some minor bleeding, he gave a few instructions and left the ward.

The two guards, of course, remained in the ward, worried that Ah Bu might do something impulsive for which they would be held responsible.

One of them glanced at the lifeless Ah Bu and muttered under his breath, "You know, for all his problems, this kid’s got good looks and a decent build. Once he’s recovered and back in the block, he’s going to be... very popular."

The other guard heard this and broke into a knowing grin.

They say that after a few years in the barracks, even a pig starts to look good. In a prison, where inmates are cut off from the outside world for years and brimming with pent-up energy... who knew what kind of "special welcome" awaited Ah Bu.
