At that time, Yue Xin only had a vague feeling. Her intuition told her that she could not continue following Su Yu’s words, so she interrupted Su Yu’s rhythm. She did not expect that it was killing intent.

Seeing that Yue Xin seemed to understand, Yi Chengxuan continued, “Su Yu is the person in charge of Building No. 4. The reason why Building 4 exists is to maintain the independent structure of the prison to guard against the encroachment of the outside forces. They are called lunatics not only because of their cruel killing methods, but also because they can accept any killing mission, and it’s not limited to Building No. 1. Do you know what this means?”

Yue Xin nodded. “I know.”

Yi Chengxuan was a little surprised by Yue Xin’s words. He swallowed his explanation and asked, “Tell me about it.”

“As long as there’s a murder mission, Building No. 4 can kill anyone in the prison without being held accountable. As long as you have money, you can issue the mission.”

Yi Chengxuan was really surprised this time. If Yue Xin could see through this hidden rule, there was no reason why she couldn’t see through Su Yu’s intentions just now. Could it be that she had been lying to him all along? Pretending to be weak? This thought only flashed across his mind for a moment before Yi Chengxuan suppressed it. Compared to believing in Yue Xin’s schemes, he trusted his judgment more. Yue Xin didn’t have the ability to analyze at the moment, which meant…

“Did Maya tell you that?”

Hearing Maya’s name, Yue Xin’s eyelashes fluttered a few times, as if she had recalled something. Her eyes softened a lot, and even her voice became extremely gentle. “Yes.”

Yi Chengxuan looked at Yue Xin’s expression and suddenly couldn’t bear it. If one day Yue Xin found out that Maya had lost her life early because of her care, what would she think? But Yi Chengxuan quickly returned to normal. Although Yue Xin was pitiful, there were too many pitiful people in this world.

He did not continue the topic of Maya. Instead, he continued to talk about Su Yu, “As the person in charge of Building No. 4, Su Yu has a hostile relationship with all the other buildings. The prison needs the variable of Building No. 4 to control the other buildings, so Su Yu can’t get close to any prisoners other than those in Building No. 4.”

“If you come with me, the people in the prison will assume that you are under my protection. If Su Yu is involved, there will be two problems.”

“Firstly, the prisoners in Building No. 5 that I manage will be worried that Su

Yu will take revenge on them and cause panic in Building No. 5. Secondly, Su Yu’s submission to you shows that he is close to you. Under such circumstances, you will definitely be feared by the other people in power after the branch battle. In the end, there will only be one outcome. You will be abandoned by all the buildings and can only choose Building No. 4.”

Yi Chengxuan analyzed the situation to Yue Xin in an unhurried tone. Su Yu had clearly schemed against him, but he did not panic at all. Anyone who saw someone like him would subconsciously calm down.

Although Yi Chengxuan had beaten around the bush, Yue Xin understood. There were no secrets in the Land of the Fallen. No matter where the criminal was or what he did, people with ulterior motives would know. The person in charge was even more eye-catching. This was why Yi Chengxuan chose a place like a restaurant to discuss with her. Sometimes, it was safer to put everything in the open.

Su Yu’s performance today would soon reach the ears of the other buildings.

After that, Yue Xin would automatically be assigned to Building No. 4 or Building No. 5.

Yue Xin knew that Yi Chengxuan definitely had a way to resolve this matter, but she didn’t ask. Instead, she thought about it herself.

Yi Chengxuan didn’t say anything else. He even stopped No. 12, who was hesitating, with a look.

After a long time, when the dishes were all served, Yue Xin said softly, “I don’t want to go to Building 4. If my value is higher than the threat Su Yu poses to them, will the other buildings accept me?”

When Yi Chengxuan heard the satisfactory answer, a real smile appeared in his eyes. “Of course.”

Yue Xin said, “Then, then I want to understand more about people’s hearts.” This was Yue Xin’s answer.

This was the first time No. 12 heard Yue Xin say “I want to”. In the past, Yue Xin often made requests of him, but no matter what kind of request it was, Yue Xin would always say what she wanted and what she needed him to do. It was just a need, not what she wanted.

No. 12, who had abandoned his identity as a prison guard and guarded Yue Xin as a prisoner, suddenly realized that in the few days since he changed his identity, Yi Chengxuan seemed to have affected Yue Xin, and it was a good influence. He had been by Yue Xin’s side for so long. He knew best how Yue Xin lived. He had thought that after Maya died, Yue Xin would wither quickly like a flower in the season. Even if she had hatred as support, she would only be like a walking corpse. But now, it seemed that that was not the case. Yue Xin had found what she wanted to do..
