The other female prisoners left the canteen with mixed feelings of envy, jealousy, and gratitude.
On the way to the infirmary, Bonnie couldn't help but ask the police officer beside her some questions.
The policeman knew that Bonnie received special treatment in the prison, so he was happy to oblige.
“Sir, do you know who the woman numbered fifty-six is?“
The woman that Bonnie had mentioned was the one who had been sitting near her when the incident happened. After careful observation, Bonnie had noticed that when those female prisoners had been making trouble for her, all of them had glanced at the woman numbered fifty-six.
Hearing that, the officer was a little shocked. Then, he asked, “Why? Did she cause you any trouble?“
Quickly, she shook her head and denied it. “No, no. I was just curious. It seems that everyone is scared of her.“
Upon hearing that, the officer smiled and answered, “The woman numbered fifty-six is the leader of the women's prison. Naturally, all the female prisoners fear her. If she doesn't bully you, maybe you can try to befriend her and have a good relationship with her. We are capable of protecting you, but there will be times when we're not there to do so. It would be good for you to be friends with her.“
It was forbidden to develop any superior-inferior relationships inside the prison, but so far, the female prisoner numbered fifty-six hasn't done anything wrong. So, the police officers just let her continue to establish her dominance over other female prisoners inside the prison.
Deep in thought, Bonnie nodded. Even though the woman hadn't personally harmed her in any way, she still felt as if she was hostile towards her.
After receiving treatment at the infirmary, Bonnie walked back to her cell.
There was no privacy in the cell. Even though Bonnie stayed alone in a separate cell, there were still other female prisoners staying in the cells next to hers.
When she returned to her cell, she saw several female prisoners glaring at her.
It made Bonnie anxious. Their stares were intense. In a desperate attempt to calm herself down, she decided to lie down and cover her eyes with her arms.
She thought that she would be fine as long as she didn't look at them, but how could these envious female prisoners make it easy for her?
“Hey, whore. Did you go and sleep with that man again?“ a cold voice called out. Upon hearing this voice, all the other female prisoners stopped glaring at Bonnie right away.
Bonnie sat up curiously and looked at the direction in which the voice came from. She wasn't that surprised when she saw that it was the woman numbered fifty-six.
As soon as this woman spoke, all the other female prisoners around them shut their mouths at once. After all, none of them dared to interrupt the leader of the prison.
“What do you have against me?“ Bonnie asked, choosing to ignore her malicious words. She just didn't understand why this woman seemed to have a vendetta against her. Bonnie couldn't remember when and where she had offended her.
The woman sneered, “Do I need a reason to be against you? Each woman in this prison was bullied one way or another. If you kneel and beg for mercy now, then I will tell everyone to stop bullying you and even take you as my follower.“
Hearing this, Bonnie frowned. It seemed that this woman was unreasonable. Bonnie didn't see the point in talking to unreasonable people.
Besides, the police officers were standing guard just outside their cells. With the presence of the officers, Bonnie believed that the other female prisoners would not dare harm her. To minimize the chances of the other prisoners causing trouble to her, she could just stay inside her cell and only go out during mealtime.
“Take a seat.“ As always, Jacob was a man of few words. Sam was used to this. He sat on the chair on the opposite side. He made sure that he didn't lean too much so that he could stand up at once when Jacob needed him to.
“Go and check out the casino in F Country. I want to know if it is still connected to Darren or Bill in any way,“ Jacob ordered.
“Okay, I will check it out as soon as I go back to my office. Please give me one day.“
With raised brows, Jacob looked at him and said, “Hmm. With your current skills, I think half a day should be enough.“
After Sam went out to complete his tasks, Jacob met with several clients according to the schedule arranged by his secretary. As expected from Jacob's most competent assistant, Sam arrived with the information he had asked for in less than half a day.
While reporting to Jacob, Sam held several documents in his hands.
“Mr. Gu, according to the results of my investigation, the casino you mentioned this morning was transferred to Darren by Bill back when Darren fled to F Country. Apparently, he threatened Bill to transfer the casino to him. The person managing the casino over there is a loyal follower of Darren. The management staff was also carefully selected by Darren himself. Harlan goes there regularly to check on the situation of the casino. My sources say that the casino is very important to Darren.“
“Hmm…“ Jacob nodded as he listened attentively to Sam's report. After a few seconds, Jacob stated, “The casino is probably the only source of money for Darren. It's not a surprise though. He needs another source of income just to keep that company of his afloat. I need more information about this. Get someone to go to the casino and investigate the situation there.“
Sam understood what Jacob had meant, so he arranged a person to do it as soon as possible. It would be best if the person could sneak into the casino to get the information first hand.
On the other side, Darren was watching the operation of the casino through the surveillance footage inside his office on the floor of the highest office building in Jingshi City. In the past few days, he had contacted several gangsters in the area and the condition of the casino had improved a lot. No one dared to make trouble in his casino.
Harlan didn't go up to Darren's office until he finished his daily review of the situation of the casino below. He could tell that Darren was in a good mood. Harlan was also quite happy about the promising situation of the casino. He diligently reported to Darren, “Boss, the casino's profits this month have increased tremendously compared to last month. We have earned twice as much! Should we consider opening another casino?“
