Chapter: 5011

She hated to find a place to hide immediately, but they were currently in line to go to the cafeteria and there was no other way to escape. Even if she wanted to go to the exercise yard to ask for help from Leaf Chao, she would have to wait until after lunch, because only then could inmates and suspects like them enter the exercise yard.

However, going to the exercise yard also meant huge danger.

Because violent incidents often occurred in the exercise yard.

In the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, inmates usually settled their disputes within their own cells, but when they went out for exercise, they would only have a chance to take action if they were from different cells.

Ma Er became the feared one at Bedford Hills because she had almost every day allowed Leaf Chao and her friends to teach other inmates a lesson, beating them up until they learned their lesson. After that, Ma Er naturally became the big sister of the entire Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.

But this also meant that she had already made countless enemies at Bedford Hills. Now she was without protection, and who knows what would happen when they let her out for exercise next time - maybe someone would kill her.

Ma Er's heart was already filled with desperation, fearing that she might lose her life here today. Followed by a group of prisoners to the dining hall, the entire prison knew Ma Er had lost her protector.

For a while, many people looked at her with hostility, and even some people wished they could come over right now and beat her up. Those who usually followed Ma Er around, sitting in front or behind her, were now keeping their distance from her. Earlier, someone would even serve her food and bring her dishes to eat, but now no one dared to sit next to her.

Many people were observing Ma Er, wondering if she still had any backing left. Ma Er knew that finding a group to integrate with was crucial for herself right now, and if someone was willing to help her at this moment, it might give her an extra layer of safety guarantee.

Ma Er carried her tray around, looking around for a long time, spotting a few Chinese nationals who had always been very flattering to her earlier.

These Chinese nationals used to live in the cell next to Ma Er. Ma Er and they didn't have much interaction initially, but one day, when they were all out exercising together, they found Ma Er and tearfully asked her if she could help them because the American warden in their cell would always bully them, hoping that Ma Er would look favorably upon them and help them, so as not to be bullied by him again.

To get Ma Er to help, they even knelt in front of her in unison when asking for her assistance.

Ma Er was at a peak moment of expansion at that time, seeing the others being so courteous towards herself and also having fellow countrymen who had been bullied, so she immediately agreed with a smile.

She directly let Chen Zitong help by punching the American warden during exercise time, causing the warden to be lying in the infirmary even now.

As a result of Ma Er's protection, these Chinese nationals turned into new big shots right in their cell.

Ever since then, these people would gather around Ma Er every day at mealtime and during exercise, paying her great respect, truly wanting to be more respectful than ever.

So, Ma Er thought to herself that if the others owed her a debt of gratitude, it was only natural for them to lend a helping hand or help themselves in times like these, at least to ensure their own safety.

Therefore, she took out her tray and walked towards them.

However, as soon as she approached them, prepared to sit down beside them on an empty seat, one person suddenly kicked his leg onto the seat, looking coldly at her and saying, "Someone is already here!"

Ma Er said subconsciously, "Little Zhang, isn't this seat empty?"

As she spoke, she quickly asked him, "Little Zhang, I'm asking you to help me out of favor for helping you folks before. Please help my sister just this once, as long as you can protect her and let her go to the exercise yard later to make a phone call to give her husband's news."

That woman, called Little Zhang, let out a cold laugh and suddenly stood up. Ma Er thought that she was standing up to let her sit down, just about to express gratitude, but unexpectedly, the other person snatched the plate of food out of her hands and threw it into the nearby trash can, including the dishes!

Just as Ma Er's face fell in surprise, she was about to ask why the other person did that. Little Zhang coldly said, "Ma Er, I've been watching you with a bad eye for a long time, relying on those who are strong enough to protect you. You're not as dignified as expected, and you're even like an elder sister of mine. Who is my elder sister? Get out of here quickly!"

Ma Er had never thought that the person who had once begged her for help, followed her closely, and been so respectful would turn into this kind of person.

She was furious inside and blurted out, "Little Zhang, can't we as people do things with some conscience? When you guys knelt in front of me crying and begging me to help you earlier, I did what I could. Now that I need your help, you're telling me to get lost, and still have a conscience?" JrNovels.com
