Chen Xuewen was stabbed by Old Man Du and fell heavily into the sewage. The cold and filthy sewage instantly seeped into his wound, causing a sharp pain that shot through his entire body. He struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief as he stared at Old Man Du. "Why... Why did you do this to me?" he gasped, his voice weak and trembling.
Old Man Du let out a cold laugh. "You're just a pawn in my grand plan. I've been waiting for this chance to escape. You've served your purpose, and now it's time for you to disappear." With that, he continued to push at the remaining iron bars of the fence, his movements urgent and desperate.
But Chen Xuewen wasn't one to give up easily. Despite the severe pain and the weakness from blood loss, he summoned all his remaining strength. He reached out and grabbed Old Man Du's ankle with a vice - like grip. Old Man Du was caught off - guard and stumbled, almost falling into the sewage himself. "You... You won't get away with this," Chen Xuewen growled through gritted teeth.
Old Man Du kicked at Chen Xuewen's hand wildly, trying to break free. "Let go, you fool!" he shouted, his face twisted in anger. But Chen Xuewen held on tightly, his fingers digging into Old Man Du's flesh. The two of them struggled in the narrow, stinking sewer, the sound of their grunts and splashing water echoing in the confined space.
Meanwhile, the commotion had attracted the attention of the prison guards who were searching for them. They followed the sounds and soon found the two men in the sewer. Seeing the situation, the guards quickly jumped in and pulled them apart. Old Man Du was immediately subdued and handcuffed, while Chen Xuewen was carried out on a stretcher, his life hanging by a thread.
Back in the prison infirmary, the doctors worked frantically to save Chen Xuewen's life. The wound was deep and serious, and he had lost a large amount of blood. But Chen Xuewen's strong will to survive kept him fighting. He lay on the bed, his face pale as a sheet, but his eyes were filled with determination. He knew that he couldn't die like this. He still had to find out the truth behind his parents' death and clear his own name.
After a long and arduous battle, the doctors finally managed to stabilize Chen Xuewen's condition. However, his prison sentence was extended once again because of this incident. But he didn't care about the extra time in prison. All he could think about was avenging his parents and uncovering the real culprits.
During his convalescence, Chen Xuewen reflected on his situation. He realized that he had been too naive to trust Old Man Du so easily. The old man had used his desperation and desire for revenge to further his own escape plan. Chen Xuewen vowed to be more cautious in the future and not to let his emotions cloud his judgment.
As he recovered, he also started to notice some strange things happening in the prison. There were whispers among the inmates about a powerful and mysterious organization that seemed to have its hands in many aspects of the prison's operations. Chen Xuewen suspected that this organization might be related to his own case and the frame - up. He decided to start investigating on his own, using the limited resources available to him in prison.
He began by talking to some of the more knowledgeable inmates, trying to gather information about the organization. Some of them were hesitant to speak, fearing retaliation, but others were more willing to share what they knew. Through these conversations, Chen Xuewen learned that the organization was involved in illegal activities such as drug trafficking and extortion, and that they had a network of informants both inside and outside the prison.
Chen Xuewen also started to pay more attention to the guards' behavior. He noticed that some of them seemed to be in the organization's pocket, turning a blind eye to the illegal activities or even actively participating in them. This realization made him even more determined to expose the organization and bring them to justice.
As he delved deeper into his investigation, Chen Xuewen faced many challenges. He had to be careful not to arouse suspicion, as the organization had eyes and ears everywhere in the prison. He also had to deal with the physical and emotional toll of his injuries and the extended prison sentence. But he refused to give up. He knew that the only way to clear his name and avenge his parents was to keep fighting.
