Era of Magic and Martial Arts-Chapter 268 - 252: The Plan

For a long time, Qian Huan felt a sharp pain in his heart before he snapped back to reality and exhaled a long, turbid breath from his mouth.

He looked at Wang Cong with a complex expression and said in a deep voice:

"The plan sounds fine, but in reality, when it comes to execution, there'll likely be all kinds of resistance, it's nothing short of wishful thinking. First of all, the impact is far too negative; the Executive Government won't possibly agree, and public opinion won't allow it either."

Qian Huan's points hit the mark, all within Wang Cong's range of consideration.

Without thinking, Wang Cong prepared to reveal the correct answers provided by Feng Mu, and he said:

"The Executive Government's members of Parliament can be co-opted or bribed, public opinion can be deceived or guided, all problems can be solved, the specific operations can proceed like this..."

Qian Huan's face changed, losing his composure. He coughed and hurriedly interrupted Wang Cong.

He turned his head to Shi Wuming and said gloomily, "Shi Wuming, could you please go outside and stand guard for us to prevent anyone from eavesdropping at the door?"

Shi Wuming took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a vague resentment as he glanced at Qian Huan, as if to say:

"Hmph, man, weren't you saying something different just now?!! Who are you planning to guard against eavesdropping, is it me?"

Without a word, Shi Wuming walked out and casually closed the door behind him. His gaze swept quickly over the empty hallway, confirming that no one was around before turning back and silently pressing his ear against the door.

Inside, it was unusually silent, not a word could be heard.

Shi Wuming slightly frowned, gently moved his ear away, and focused his eyes on the door, a faint blue glow flickered in his eyes.

"??? "

Through X-ray vision, Shi Wuming saw a thick layer of added materials inside the door. He identified the materials as elastic steel and sound-absorbing graphite.

"Seriously, you're just a prison warden, is it really necessary?"

Shi Wuming thought about the three-layer explosion-proof glass inside the room and was speechless: "This person's security and privacy measures are on par with, if not exceeding, members of the Bright Group's board."

Resigned, Shi Wuming turned off his electronic eye, abandoning the idea of eavesdropping, but feeling inexplicably dissatisfied.

He was not typically curious, and if he hadn't heard anything in the first place, he wouldn't be curious at all. But being sent out right in the middle of hearing something made him itch with curiosity.

Standing upright, Shi Wuming took out his phone and secretly composed a long message to a high-ranking member of Bright Group, then sent it.

——President Lu, I inadvertently overheard a plan in Qian Huan's office at the Second Prison, proposed by a prison guard named Wang Cong, called [Octagonal Cage Beast Fighting Arena]. I think this plan is quite extraordinary, you might be interested…

Inside the office.

Qian Huan had already risen from his seat and slowly walked to the transparent glass wall, getting closer to Wang Cong than ever, separated only by the thickness of three walls.

Qian Huan's eyes roamed up and down Wang Cong, filled with a mix of surprise and admiration, as if reassessing the value of the person before him.

His voice carried undisguised amazement:

"Wang Cong, I never expected that the [Octagonal Cage Beast Fighting Arena] plan you proposed would be so full of creativity, truly astonishing me."

Initially, Qian Huan only intended to counter with similar tactics, never expecting Wang Cong to have such an invaluable mind.

Yes, Qian Huan was also a smart person; he naturally recognized the incredible value embedded in Wang Cong's proposed plan.

And this mind's value was indeed, to him, the simplest and most noble of praises.

"Your idea opened my eyes, very good, exceptionally good, but how could you share this plan with outsiders?"

Feigning anger, Qian Huan glanced at the door and then sighed deeply.

"Alas, that was my oversight. But you must remember, from this moment on, any details related to this plan should be shared with me alone, not a single bit must leak to anyone else, understood?"

Wang Cong sighed inwardly; Feng Mu had predicted Qian Huan's reaction perfectly, but outwardly, he silently nodded.

Seeing Wang Cong's quick agreement, Qian Huan suddenly realized that perhaps Wang Cong hadn't fully grasped the deep value inherent in the plan he proposed.

"Of course, he's just a small prison guard. Despite some remarkable ideas, his perspective is naturally focused on the Second Prison. In reality, if this plan is executed effectively..."

Qian Huan's mind envisioned long-term possibilities, fired with intense anticipation,

"The potential energy it could unleash would be astonishing, moving beyond just one Second Prison, ten or a hundred Second Prisons could be influenced, and perhaps I could even use it as leverage to counter move the entire Bright Group."

In his heart, Qian Huan prided himself as the one with a broad vision and grand design; this plan in his hands would wield an impact a hundred times greater than it would with Wang Cong.

Of course, there was no need to share such foresight with Wang Cong, nor would Qian Huan shortchange him. After all, there would likely be many details requiring the proposer, Wang Cong, to solve and suggest solutions.

His gaze softened as it fell on Wang Cong, sincerely saying:

"Rest assured, if this plan is successfully implemented, I will naturally leverage this opportunity to return to the company and ascend to a higher position. As for the position of warden of the Second Prison, I assure you, it will be yours."

Pausing slightly, Qian Huan eagerly posed a question:

"Now, let's discuss the details of this plan in depth. First, how to handle the prisoners' identities, how do you intend to bring them to the forefront?"

Wang Cong felt a strange sense of déjà vu, seeing a glimpse of his former self in the warden's eager face.

The same fervor, the same expectation, the same promise, ha—

And the result? He's now become a Calamity Corpse!

So, what will become of Qian Huan in the future, if he too becomes a Calamity Corpse, will he be as thankful to Feng Mu as I am?

Wang Cong anticipated that day and replied: "No need to handle the prisoners' identities; just change their clothes and give them a Mask."

Qian Huan's eyes lit up, praising, "Brilliant, such a difficult problem can be solved in the simplest way, but how do we persuade the Executive Government?"

Recalling Feng Mu's words at that time, Wang Cong answered as if reciting from memory:

"I heard that during our Second Prison's equity reform, Member of Parliament Wang Xinfa contributed significantly, and the push for prison privatization reform was also advocated by him.

Thus, if we approach Mr. Wang with wholehearted sincerity, he should be willing to continue deepening the cooperation relationship with the Second Prison, right?"

Qian Huan nodded in deep agreement; he didn't have a good impression of Executive Government officials, but Mr. Wang was an exception; he was very open-minded and well-regarded publicly.

Mainly, Mr. Wang had a good relationship with Celestial Light Capital in private.

Also, his mother, Li Hanyu, had been praising Mr. Wang in his ear lately, hinting at his loyalty and righteousness. The fact that his mother smoothly transitioned to controlling Celestial Light Capital's personnel didn't come without Mr. Wang's substantial support, making him a person worth befriending and trusting. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
