Warden Ryan’s mind went blank, and he stood there in a daze.
Why were the news center staff there?
Was it a coincidence, or had they been lying in wait?
Could it be?!
Had the scene there been specially made for him?
The scene from the movie, “Shawshank Redemption” was used to mock him and finally unveil his dirty, ugly mask.
Meanwhile, it was quiet outside the news center.
The people gathered there were staring at the live broadcast on the big screen in complete silence.
It was too shocking!
Those were Ryan’s own words!
When he had been preaching justice in the live broadcast room earlier, the people had indeed been stunned by his performance.
They still did not want to believe that the dignified warden of the Chicago Correctional Center was such a sanctimonious hypocrite.
The contrast was too huge.
They had hoped that after Sean escaped, he would come out and prove his innocence.
As for the prison, there was nothing wrong with arresting an escaped prisoner.
They agreed.
The people wanted to see Sean present evidence that he had not killed Anna. The police would then check it carefully and declare Sean innocent. After that, as the warden, Ryan would publicly declare Sean innocent, and he would be free as the crowd cheered.
That was what the public wanted to see.
In the end, they were shocked by Ryan’s embarrassing situation.
The netizens who were watching the live broadcast on the Internet began to speak collectively, demanding that the Chicago Correctional Center’s warden, Ryan be severely punished.
“I’ve truly been blinded. This is too exciting.”
“He knows the law and has broken it. He actually dared to boast and teach others a lesson.”
“My god, how did such a person become the warden? Is the judicial system blind?”
“Look at that stupid pig. He’s so disgusting.”
The warden, Ryan, was taken away by an assistant marshal.
It seemed that he would spend the rest of his life in his own prison.
Following the farce, Sean’s case was submitted for a retrial. The murderer of the torture case had yet to be found, and Sean was only cleared of his identity as a suspect.
It did not mean that he was truly free. He was restricted to the downtown area of Chicago, and he was not allowed to leave Chicago without permission.
Just as Sean returned to his residence, his uncle, Thomas resisted the police who came to arrest him. He took his own life with an ancestral shotgun.
Sean then began to purge the family.
Many people, including the butler, were sent to prison.
Sean thought about what he had gone through, starting with being imprisoned.
It was that Internet author, Andre who had helped him escape prison and kept him informed in times of crisis. That was not all. He had even been taught how to find evidence in his favor and how to set a trap to lure the warden, Ryan into prison.
Sean freaked out just from thinking about it now. He had found a program director with the TV station via his connections on the dark web.
Their program was very interesting. They built sets from various movies in the live broadcast room and invited popular stars or Internet celebrities to roleplay a scene of the movie.
If the best-selling novel, “Prison Situation” had not appeared, the program would have been at the top in the ratings and web hits. It had been dominating the top searches for a long time.
Sean had borrowed their ideas and set the scene from the movie, “Shawshank Redemption” in advance. After Sean had entered the live broadcast room, he had shown weakness everywhere, making Warden Ryan feel that he could not confront him because he did not have strong evidence.
However, Sean had not been too afraid to show himself. If he had not gone there, he would have really confirmed the fact that he had tortured and killed Anna.
The warden could see through Sean’s thoughts. He had planned to press forward step by step, and once Sean became speechless, Anna’s brother would suddenly jump up and rush to him during the live broadcast. With the live audience and the online audience watching, he would shoot Sean.
The warden had even thought of what Sean would say after he was killed.
He would first jump closer to check if Sean had died on the spot.
If Sean had completely died, Ryan would have pretended to try and save him. He would have shouted for the SWAT team that had been lying in wait, caught Sean’s killer, called the ambulance, and so on.
He would never give up an opportunity to establish his tall stature.
However, the results were ironic.
Through some channels on the dark web, Sean had placed a knockout gas bomb in the live broadcast room in advance. The target was the SWAT team that was lying in wait around the live broadcast room.
Once Sean took care of the SWAT team, Warden Ryan would have to fight without backup and become a lone ranger.
On the contrary, if he calmly waited for the police outside the news center to come in to support him, there would be nothing Sean could really do.
After all, he was the warden of the Chicago Correctional Center. Even if Sean’s case was eventually overturned, he had no reason to kill a high-ranking official of the Chicago judicial system.
That was the real concern: killing a high-ranking judicial official. It would not matter if Sean fled to the ends of the Earth. As long as he was not dead, he would be caught sooner or later.
The American judicial system would never allow such a thing to happen.
Sean had deliberately allowed Ryan to see his right leg being shot, knowing that Ryan would come after him.
Then, he had lured Ryan to the “Shawshank Redemption” set, which had already been arranged beforehand. He had bribed the backstage staff in the live broadcast room so that they would transfer the live broadcast to this spot, directly exposing Ryan’s ugly side.
Ryan’s “cooperation” had surprised Sean at that time. Up to that point, he had been thinking about a way to bait Ryan into telling the truth. He never thought that the inflated Ryan would take the initiative to reveal his dirty deal with Thomas.
He truly deserved his fate.
When Andre contacted Sean again, Sean was unusually excited. He even directly expressed that he would give Andre half of his family’s property.
Sean could go to the notary office to handle it right then. He clearly knew that hugging the leg of this god, Andre would only benefit him and not harm him.
Andre did not outright refuse it either. He tactfully hinted to Sean that he did not have any plans for the time being.
Through the system, Andre noticed that he had been rewarded with a super gift bag because of Sean’s successful escape from prison. Andre, who was rubbing his hands together, quickly opened the super gift bag.
Ding! “Congratulations, Host, you have gained 10 points in intelligence.”
Ding! “Congratulations, Host, you have gained 20 points in stamina.”
Ding! “Congratulations, Host, you have gained the divine disguise skill.”
