German Shepards often becomes very alert after being wounded. However, the moment they drop their guard, their attachment to humans would rocket to an incredible extent. He was the most important element in this contest, and she was patient enough to wait it out.

Ai Bei left for a while that night. When she returned, she brought #2 to the prison officer duty office. After getting him to hide in one corner, she went to knock on the door. 

Prison officer B was on duty: “What is it?”

Ai Bei told him that prison officer A was being locked in the black room and was unable to get out. Prison officer A had told her to come over to get the key from him. 

Prison officer B probed further. At his questions, Ai Bei stuttered, her gaze floating. Prison officer B immediately understood what had happened. 

He cursed silently, thinking it was prison officer A’s bad habit acting up again, and wanted to lure someone into the black room but ended up locking himself inside. 

Though annoyed, he wasn’t going to ignore this and let his colleague remain trapped inside. He definitely should not be giving the key to a prisoner, so he had to make his way over personally. As for Ai Bei, he told her to quickly return to her cell before he walked off in a rush. 

He wasn’t concerned about Ai Bei running off, they were patrolling at night anyway. 

When the officer left, Ai Bei gestured for #2 to come over. 

“What exactly do you want to do?” He asked. 

Ai Bei tried the door. The control room door that the officer thought he’d closed opened easily. 

She pointed at the surveillance screens, “d’you know how to control the surveillance?” 

“You’re not gonna explain yourself first?” Looking every bit like a criminal, he sat down on the officer’s chair as he asked. He caught sight of a police cap hanging on the chair and went ahead to grab it without hesitation. He plopped the cap on his head almost as though it was a random cap, and crossed his legs as he drilled her.  

The slanted golden police badge coupled with his roguish attitude had him appearing sinfully handsome. 

Ai Bei cupped her chin and looked at him, “here’s an opportunity to take your revenge.” 

She’d found the right moment to hand officer A a strip of paper earlier in the afternoon, and had agreeed to meet with him in the black room. Officer A was gusty as usual, and had thought that she finally recognised his power and authority after getting herself into prison, and that she was seeking protection from him. And so, he went to the black room at the agreed timing. 

Ai Bei then proceeded to lock him inside the room, before pretending to have just arrived and asked him what happened. At officer A’s instructions, she went over to the duty room. 

The back and forth gave them some time to work with, in fact it was enough for the inmate head and his gang of followers to crack their way out of their cells, ambush officer A and relief their vent up anger. 

The most important part of this entire play was the surveillance. How should she fake the surveillance and make it seem as though she was never there in the first place, so that officer A would not be able to identity the culprit even if he tried. 

After #2 listened to her, he cracked his wrist, “Simple.”
