CHAPTER 1002: CHAPTER 1009: BREAKING INTO THE PRISON (2)

However, every door inside the prison is equipped with a recognition device, and you must swipe a card to pass. Hu Fei just breached the prison’s firewall, and the staff will definitely shut down the network immediately. Therefore, at this point, it’s impossible to control these security doors via the network; you can only use an identification card.

Ling Chen went to find Xia Mutong just now, primarily to obtain the identification she carried. Because the ID contains a recognition chip, and Xia Mutong, being the captain of the criminal police team, has very high clearance. Her ID can move freely within the prison.

Beep!

With a soft sound, the prison’s security door instantly opened. Passing through the security door, seeing the pursuing police behind him, Ling Chen immediately closed the door. Then, he swung his fist and smashed it hard, directly shattering the security door’s recognition device.

The recognition device was destroyed, so even with an ID card, there’s no way to open this door.

Walking down the central corridor of the prison, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun checked the cells on both sides, searching for the entrance.

According to the intelligence from the Secret Society, the God Organization’s base is established below the police station. However, they do not know where the entrance to the base is. Moreover, Hu Fei has reviewed the layout of this prison; since it is built underground, all four sides are concrete walls, with only one entrance and exit.

Because of this, Ling Chen had no other choice but to break in head-on.

Although it’s unclear where the God Organization set the entrance, Hu Fei found through investigation that this temporary prison’s electricity consumption has been several times more than before, starting last month. Through this clue, Hu Fei believes the God Organization has been stealing the police station’s electricity. So, as long as they find the circuit where the God Organization is stealing electricity from the prison, they can follow the trail to locate the God Organization’s base.

A few minutes passed as Ling Chen continued searching for clues in the prison, while Tang Guolun ran to the prison’s power room.

At this time, at the entrance of the prison, Xia Mutong brought a group of police officers standing outside the security door, observing the situation inside.

"Officer Xia, they have your ID card; do you know them?" the police officer in charge of guarding the prison asked.

Xia Mutong nodded, her expression solemn, and said, "I know them." She paused, then continued, "From now on, I will take full responsibility for this matter."

As she finished speaking, Xia Mutong took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Ling Chen’s number.

After a short while, the call connected, and hearing Ling Chen’s voice on the other end, Xia Mutong couldn’t help but shout, "Ling Chen, what are you doing? Do you know what you’re doing?"

"Officer Xia, calm down." Ling Chen said with a smile, "Of course, I know what I’m doing. Don’t worry; I don’t intend to oppose the police. I just want to confirm something."

"You’ve broken into the prison and stolen my ID card; these are serious crimes, Ling Chen. For the sake of our friendship, I urge you to surrender immediately and seek leniency. Otherwise, if I catch you myself, there will be consequences."

"Officer Xia, I’m really sorry. Well, I have something to attend to now. Once I finish dealing with this matter, I’ll come and confess." Without waiting for Xia Mutong to respond, Ling Chen directly hung up the phone.

Hearing the ’beep beep’ busy tone from the phone, Xia Mutong felt a swell of anger, almost smashing the phone on the ground.

This bastard... how dare he hang up on me.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Mutong calmed herself, trying her best to remain composed.

She knew Ling Chen’s character very well; he wouldn’t cause trouble at the police station for no reason. There must be a reason for his actions. Could it be to rescue someone? But the prison didn’t hold many prisoners, and those inside were there for drunk driving or other minor offenses, and would be released in a few days, so there was no need for Ling Chen to take the risk to rescue them.

Thinking of this, Xia Mutong immediately gave orders to organize a team of ten people to smash through the security door and rush into the prison.

A moment later, Xia Mutong watched as colleagues returned one by one and asked, "Did you find them?"

"Officer Xia, we’ve searched the entire prison and haven’t found any traces of those two people."

"Nothing?" Xia Mutong was slightly taken aback and said in disbelief, "How is that possible?" This prison is built underground, with no way out other than one entrance and exit. Unless Ling Chen and the others had supernatural abilities to burrow through the ground, they couldn’t have escaped from this prison.

"Are you sure you didn’t miss anything?" Xia Mutong pressed for confirmation.

"Officer Xia, the prison only has over twenty cells; we couldn’t have missed anything."

Strange!

They clearly broke into the prison, so how come no one was found? Just as she was thinking, Xia Mutong suddenly heard the buzzing vibration of a phone.

A text message!

Looking at the text message content on her phone, Xia Mutong’s expression changed slightly. She turned her head and ordered, "Notify the SWAT immediately and have them come over right away. Remember, fully armed."

At this moment, in a narrow duct, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun crouched at the bottom, slowly moving forward.

Because the duct was too small, their movements were restricted, and they couldn’t fully extend their limbs, so they could only crawl little by little like insects. After a few minutes, they had only moved a bit over twenty meters.

"Boss Tang, are we there yet?" Ling Chen asked with difficulty.

"Almost, we’re almost there." Tang Guolun said, tugging at the cable beside him.

There was a thick cable in the narrow duct, which Tang Guolun discovered in the power room. This cable is evidence of the God Organization stealing electricity from the prison. At this moment, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun are following this cable to locate the God Organization’s base.

Moving forward another ten meters or so, the cable finally went underground. At the same time, a hole appeared in the center of the duct. The hole wasn’t very big, but not too small either. With Ling Chen and Tang Guolun’s sizes, they could barely squeeze through.

Passing through the hole, Ling Chen’s body suddenly dropped down, landing firmly on the ground.

Looking at the surroundings, Ling Chen whispered, "Boss Tang, there’s a door over there; I’ll go check it out."

"Be careful," Tang Guolun urged.

Reaching the door, Ling Chen pressed his ear against the door panel, listening to any movements outside, then gently opened the door.

Instantly, a beam of light shone through the door crack. Ling Chen stuck his head out to look outside and saw that outside the door was a corridor, with not a single person around.

Seeing this, Ling Chen gestured to Tang Guolun behind him and stepped out.

Walking along the corridor, Ling Chen and Tang Guolun moved forward over twenty meters, and the lighting became increasingly bright, indicating they were already deep within the God Organization’s base and were about to arrive.

Soon after, Ling Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks, his sharp gaze fixed ahead.
