Despite Jiang Chijing eventually calling the patrol team over, they couldn’t do anything about Old Nine.

A guard told Old Nine to leave if he wasn’t going to read. In the end, all of them immediately went to grab a book from the shelves, and that guard couldn’t say anything else.

The patrol team stayed guarding the library for about ten minutes. Old Nine’s group didn’t act up either, randomly flipping through the books, dawdling. Ultimately, the captain of the patrol team could only notify Jiang Chijing that they were leaving, bringing his team out of the library.

Once the patrol team was gone, Old Nine’s group started to rock their chairs again, annoying Jiang Chijing so much that his almost blew his top.

After barely making it to two o’clock, Old Nine’s men finally left. But on Tuesday, the same thing happened again. Old Nine brought his lackeys back to the library, giving Jiang Chijing hell.

“I really can’t hit them?”

Zheng Mingyi appeared to have reached the end of his patience. If Jiang Chijing hadn’t warned him not to resolve his problems with violence, he might already have knocked Old Nine to his grave.

To be honest, Jiang Chijing was also at the end of his rope. He really wanted to hit Old Nine as well, but he didn’t have any justifiable reason to do so. As a prison officer, he couldn’t resort to his fists just because an inmate had irked him.

Old Nine was likely counting on this, which was why he could come to Jiang Chijing’s turf and challenge him this flagrantly.

“No, you can’t,” Jiang Chijing said. “We’ll see how long they can keep this up.”

Jiang Chijing knew that Old Nine was waiting for him to lower his head in submission. Him going up to ask “When will you be leaving” was nothing short of a show of weakness. Retaining the initiative, Old Nine definitely wouldn’t take it lying down. It was probable that he would return “We’ll leave if you beg us to leave.”

No matter what, it was impossible for Jiang Chijing to lower his head.

Wednesday arrived. There was a bit more mail to deliver than usual.

An inmate’s daughter had been admitted to university, an inmate’s wife had written him a farewell letter… Actually, there were only ten or so inmates who regularly received and sent letters out. One among them only sent letters, never receiving a reply. Jiang Chijing decided to have a good chat with him today.

“Thank you, sorry for the trouble, Officer Jiang.”

In Block A, Xu Sheng passed a letter from inside a cell, thanking Jiang Chijing as he always did.

Usually, Jiang Chijing would leave after taking the letter without speaking to him as he didn’t want Princess to give him trouble.

But it was different today. He glanced at the address after taking the letter from Xu Sheng. It carried the same address as it always did. He weighed it in his hand, saying absently, “Your letter might take a long while to be sent this time.
