I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 703

Chapter 703: Chapter 266 - Empress: I Shall Engage in Battle in Cat Lady Form!

Sky Scale Guard, Imperial Prison.

In the dark and cramped cell, Yan Linghu leaned against the corner, looking much better than before.

Ever since Qin Shu visited, the prison guards stopped torturing him. They provided good food and drink every day, and his injuries began to heal.

At first, he was anxious, fearing it was his last meal. But as days passed, there was no sign of execution, as if Chen Mo had truly forgotten him.

"Since mother visited that day, Chen Mo’s attitude has drastically changed."

"From what I know about him, he never lets go without gaining something more significant... What could mother possibly offer him?"

Yan Linghu couldn’t fathom it.

While he was pondering, sudden footsteps echoed outside the cell.

The key was inserted into the lock, and the cell door was pushed open. Chen Mo, donned in his dark-scaled official robe, stepped inside.

Yan Linghu’s pupils contracted, and he hurriedly got up from the floor, standing straight against the wall, "Mr. Chen, what brings you here?"

Could it be that he wants to use me for human experiments again?

He already has a psychological shadow from Chen Mo’s twisted punishments...

"Don’t be nervous."

Chen Mo waved his hand, "I came today to prepare for your release."

?

Yan Linghu was taken aback, "Release me? Truly?"

"Of course, I’m a man of my word. I said I’d release you in a few days, so naturally, it’s no lie." Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, "Why, hasn’t Young Master Yan had enough of staying in the cell?"

"Enough! More than enough!"

Seeing Chen Mo didn’t appear to be teasing him, Yan Linghu’s joy was evident.

You know, stepping into the Imperial Prison is a life-and-death situation, and only a few make it out alive... He had prepared for the worst, never expecting joy to come so abruptly!

"Someone, release Young Master Yan." Chen Mo ordered.

A prison guard entered, untied the shackles from Yan Linghu’s hands and feet, and removed the steel nails from his shoulder blades.

Yan Linghu moved his shoulders, still feeling somewhat unreal.

After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Chen, may I ask why? Why are you willing to release me?"

Chen Mo replied calmly, "Young Master Yan is implicated in the Barbarian Slave case, but has shown good remorse and provided key evidence, contributing to crime on a greater scale... Besides, the Imperial Prison has limited cells, mostly holding major criminals. You need to clear the way for the brothers at the back."

What key evidence did I provide?

Yan Linghu scratched his head, looking bewildered.

Just then, the sound of iron chains dragging across the floor echoed from the corridor, approaching the cell.

Two prison guards escorted a man inside; he wore a prison uniform, handcuffed, and shackled, his loose hair covering his face.

"Oh, a newcomer?"
