After a while, everyone woke up and started whispering among themselves, pointing at Xiao Ning who was still in a daze.
Xiao Ning's brows were furrowed, and his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat. With his cultivation level, it was impossible for him to be in this state, but it was because his entire mind was still reliving the dream he had just had.
"Why would I have such a dream?"
"Is this a sign of something?"
"Logically speaking, with my current level as a martial arts grandmaster, it's impossible for me to be dreaming!"
He kept recalling every detail of the dream in his mind.
At this moment, Wang Chenglin, who was in position number 1, finished dressing and stepped down from the dragon board. He first whispered to the crowd who were discussing, "Alright, everyone stop talking and go to sleep. Xie Laogou is on duty tonight. If he catches you doing something wrong, you'll get scolded again tomorrow!"
Although Wang Chenglin doesn't usually get involved in anything, he is the undisputed leader of cell 504, so his words carry a lot of weight.
Now that he had spoken, everyone quieted down and huddled back under the covers, ready to go to sleep.
Wang Chenglin took a few steps and sat down next to Xiao Ning's bunk, asking in a low voice, "Ning, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
"call!"
Xiao Ning's mind gradually returned to normal. He let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and upon hearing Wang Chenglin's words, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Yes, I had a bad dream. I'm sorry to have worried you, Brother Lin. You should go to sleep first. I'm fine!"
Seeing that his complexion had returned to normal, Wang Chenglin didn't think much of it and nodded, saying, "Alright, if you need anything, just let me know. I won't hesitate to help if I can."
Seeing his unusually good attitude, Xiao Ning knew the reason immediately. She smiled and replied, "Brother Lin, you're too kind. Helping you deliver a message was just a small favor. I didn't expect anything in return. Just relax and go to sleep!"
With his secret exposed, Wang Chenglin was slightly embarrassed and said, "Xiao Ning, it's not that I'm being overly cautious as an older brother, but you know I still have more than two months before I go to jail, and my family doesn't know my situation there. I'm afraid they'll worry. When you get out, please make a call for me. It would be some comfort!"
Xiao Ning's smile gradually faded, and he straightened his expression, saying, "Brother Lin, don't worry. I have your wife's phone number memorized and I will never forget it. I'll call your wife as soon as I leave in a couple of days to let her know I'm safe!"
Then, he looked around and saw that Wang Hailong, Zhang Zhiping, Zeng Zeng and the others were all looking at him. He smiled and said, "You are the same. I have all your phone numbers written down. I have also written down everything you need to tell your families. I will not forget!"
Wang Hailong laughed heartily: "I told you A-Ning is loyal, and she never goes back on her word once she promises something, A-Lin, you still didn't believe me!"
He patted Xiao Ning on the shoulder: "After I leave, I'll treat Aning to a full-service massage. How about that? Isn't your brother loyal enough?"
Wang Chenglin curled his lip in disdain: "You're just a fake cigarette seller, forget it. Do you think you'll even remember who A-Ning is when you get out of here in two years?"
Turning his head, he raised an eyebrow at Xiao Ning and said, "Ning, I can't make any promises to you while I'm inside, but once I get out, you can pick any of the girls in my place. You can play with them for a month or two without ever having the same one twice!"
Xiao Ning nodded in agreement. He knew that these vague promises were unlikely to come true, and even if they met on the street in the future, they might not recognize each other.
Seeing the two of them talking so enthusiastically, Zhang Zhiping, who was to Xiao Ning's right, opened his mouth and said, "Brother Ning, I'm entrusting my matter to you!"
Although he was fourteen years older than Xiao Ning, he still called him Brother Ning, instead of calling him Ah Ning like Wang Chenglin did. This was the rule in the detention center.
Xiao Ning smiled and said, "You can all put your minds at ease. For small matters like passing on messages that don't involve your own cases, I will definitely help if I can. Even the supervisors at the station will turn a blind eye and pretend they don't know anything!"
"We've all come here and are locked in the same cell, that's fate, so it's only natural to help each other."
"Alright, that's enough talk, let's all go to sleep!"

Chapter 10: Finally Released from Prison
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Ning has been checking in every day for the past two days, but the rewards he has received have been rather disappointing, once he received 666 yuan and once he received 888 yuan.
For the prisoners in the detention center, time simply doesn't pass; they just eat and sleep all day long.
Their daily lives are monotonous and boring, but the occasional interesting thing can excite them for a long time and become the topic of conversation for the following week.
For example, Wang Qihui.
On the night he entered prison, he provoked his seniors and was ruthlessly suppressed. Xiao Ning used a little trick to get Wang Qihui into solitary confinement.
This is not surprising.
After all, troublemakers are always around; one or two will pop up every now and then.
However, what was surprising and talked about was Wang Qihui's heroic act, which immediately ignited the emotions of hundreds of prisoners in the entire detention center.
On the morning of the second day after Wang Qihui was imprisoned, at nine o'clock, during the detention center's routine morning meeting, the newly arrived deputy director Li used the loudspeaker to specifically criticize Wang Qihui, listing him as a typical example.
Only then did everyone realize it.
After being locked in the small, dark room, this student surnamed Wang pretended to faint several times in an attempt to challenge the authority of the supervisor.
After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was discovered that Wang Qihui not only had no problems, but was actually in excellent health.
Finally, after a meeting and discussion among the leaders of the detention center, a decision was made to punish Wang Qihui by extending his solitary confinement period from one night to one week and canceling his shopping privileges for one month as a warning.
In other words, poor Xiao Wang will not be able to wash or sleep for the next week.
For the next month, there were no snacks to improve the diet, no toiletries, and no books to buy.
"I heard he offended the Great Demon King?"
"Really? This kid's going to have a tough time from now on!"
"Isn't the Great Demon King about to leave?"
"If I don't shower or wash my hair for a month, I'll probably stink to death!"
"That kid is a complete idiot!"
As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.
