Chapter 239
239 Chapter 239 an old acquaintance
Jiang se followed Cao Yu down the stairs. After walking for about an hour, she saw that the prisoners were all doing their handiwork. The silent indifference made her heart feel heavy.
That kind of lifeless feeling was hard to describe in words. This place was clearly bright and clean, but despair formed a haze and shrouded everyone’s head.
Mo Anqi seemed to have been affected by this as well. The smile on her face faded as well. When she walked to the next prison cell, Jiang se saw a girl sitting on the floor and skillfully hooking a thread with her hands before the prison guards introduced her. Her eyes widened and she could not help but call out, ”
“Dai Jia!” What was she doing here?
Jiang se could not help but grab the iron bars of the prison gate with both hands and lean her face closer.
“Please be careful.”
Cao Yu reached out and pushed her away slightly. In the prison, Dai Jia turned a deaf ear to Jiang SE’s shouts.
She seemed to be completely immersed in her knitting. Her expression was the same as the person Jiang se had seen earlier. Her face was bare, and she no longer looked as charming as when Jiang se first saw her. It was only when Jiang se called out to her a second time that she paused and raised her head stiffly. At that moment, Jiang se thought of the unoiled robot. She could even hear the creaking of Dai Jia’s bones when she looked up.
“Dai Jia!”
When she saw Jiang se, her expression was neither sad nor happy. It was as if the person who had greeted her was an insignificant stranger. Her hands were still instinctively knitting. If her facial muscles had not twitched violently at that moment, Jiang se would have thought that she was as calm as she appeared.
Dai Jia, 21 years old. She entered this year in March.
And the crime she had committed was murder.
When Jiang se heard that Dai Jia had killed someone, she could not believe her ears. She had already been in jail for six months. No wonder her cell phone had been turned off during that time.
When Cao Yu saw that she was no longer in the mood to shop around, he did not expect to see Jiang SE’s acquaintances here. Hence, he gestured for someone to temporarily set up a chat room. He got the prison guard to bring Dai Jia out so that Jiang se and Dai Jia could meet.
Jiang se did not expect to meet Dai Jia in such a manner.
She was wearing a prison uniform, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and her hair was greasy. She smelled like she had not taken a bath for a long time. However, she had a blank expression on her face, as if she didn’t feel her embarrassment. When the prison guard asked her to sit down, she held her legs with both hands and didn’t even dare to put her hands on the table.
The people in the prison poured Jiang se a glass of water. Cao Yu accompanied her to prevent the female prisoner from getting violent and hurting others.
Jiang se was someone who had been informed by the higher-ups. If anything happened to her in prison and she was injured, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang se asked after taking a deep breath.
Dai Jia’s gaze landed on the table. She did not meet Jiang SE’s eyes and said calmly, ”
“I’ve killed someone,”
Jiang se had heard about her murder from the prison guards. However, when she thought of Dai Jia, whom she knew in the past, and the woman who was now talking about ” murder ” with a numb expression, Jiang se clenched her glass of water.
“What’s going on?”
When Jiang se asked this, Dai Jia maintained her posture. There was not a hint of embarrassment on her face. Her expression was as calm as an ancient well that could not stir up any waves.
I’ve signed with a management company. They want to force me to film, but I’m not willing. When she said this, there was no pause in her tone, as if she was reporting something to her superior.
“After the court’s verdict came into effect, I was sent here.”
When she saw Jiang se, she did not show any of the joy or excitement of meeting someone she knew. After she briefly explained the situation, she raised her head and smiled at Jiang se. Her smile did not reach her eyes. It was as if she was just a puppet. The corners of her mouth twitched instinctively.
“I’m done. Can I go back now?”
There was no reflection of Jiang se in Dai Jia’s eyes. She looked at Jiang se, but her eyes seemed to be able to see through her. She was looking at the prison guards standing behind her.
“There are a lot of missions, we can’t delay any longer.”
She explained. Cao Yu glanced at Jiang se. Jiang SE’s expression was complicated. She recalled the first time they met at the imperial capital film and television University. It was the alluring Dai Jia. Then, she looked at the woman who was now smiling weakly. She fell silent.
The prison guard left with Dai Jia. Her footsteps were rather heavy and kept ringing in Jiang SE’s ears. Cao Yu had already ordered someone to bring over Dai Jia’s information, which recorded the reason why she had been sent to prison.
She had killed a manager from Jufeng entertainment named Zhang Hua. She was quickly found guilty and thrown into the western suburbs women’s prison.
When Jiang se saw Jufeng entertainment and recalled what Dai Jia had said earlier, she felt that something was amiss.
After such an incident, she naturally had no intention of staying any longer. She first got mo Anqi out of prison. After saying goodbye to Cao Yu, mo Anqi heaved a long sigh of relief, ”
“I don’t know why, but I feel that it’s quite depressing inside.”
Everyone’s expression was very cold. Some of them were talking non-stop, while most of them were silent and focused on the work at hand.
When someone was talking, the coldness of the people around them made the dead silence in the cell even more apparent.
Mo Anqi started the car and looked at Jiang se through the rearview mirror curiously. She could not help but ask, ”
“Sese, is she the one you couldn’t find on the phone after you came back from Qu County?”
“Yes, I am.”
Jiang se nodded. She was a little frustrated.
“She’s a friend of mine.”
Mo Anqi was a little surprised. Jiang se was usually a simple socialite who did not have many connections. Her interpersonal relationships were simple, and it was easy for her to grasp the rules of her life. Other than her work and studies, she would either learn dancing from her coach or go on dates with PEI Yi occasionally. It was not that she did not have any friends her age, but they were not very close. For example, Yu Xiaozhou and the others from the first Academy would only occasionally send her messages.
She knew that Jiang se had a friend named ‘Dai Jia’. Her friend’s phone number was still in Jiang SE’s phone. When Jiang se had changed her phone, mo Anqi had helped her to remember the number.
Mo Anqi had no idea who this “Dai Jia” was before this. Ever since she became Jiang SE’s assistant, she had never seen Jiang se in contact with this person. She only knew that Jiang se had called her a while ago, but her phone had been turned off and no one could get through.
Jiang se had actually guessed that something had happened to Dai Jia. However, she did not expect her to kill someone and end up in the women’s prison.
it’s my second film, Gu Jiaer’s ‘pretense to reality’. She was the one who helped me by telling me the audition time.
When they met later, Dai Jia had even warned her to be careful of the traps in the entertainment industry. Who knew that she would end up in trouble?
