The Tyrant Billionaire

Bob, the lawyer, said, "I've officially applied to the state court for a retrial of your case. The state court has accepted it, and I believe it won't be long before you can walk out of Shawshank."

Sob, sob, sob~~!

Andy hugged the newspaper and cried.

He was too overwhelmed.

Seven years of imprisonment and seven years of injustice, he had suffered too much.

He thought he would never see this day.

"Thank you, Mr. Henry, thank you, Mr. Bob. And I must thank Mr. Hardy too," Andy cried.

After venting, Andy suddenly remembered something else.

Looking at the guards a few meters behind him, Andy lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Henry, Mr. Bob, I heard someone telling me that someone wants to kill me."

Bob was taken aback.

Henry frowned slightly.

"Do you know who wants to kill you?" Henry asked quietly.

"I don't know. Someone secretly sent me a message, warning me to be careful, but I don't know anything else," Andy said.

Henry nodded.

"Be careful during this time. I'll handle these matters."

After the meeting with Andy, Henry and Bob left. Back in the city, Henry made several phone calls in succession.

In the afternoon of the same day, several people came to Shawshank Prison to visit their acquaintance, including Damon.

His uncle came to visit him and brought him some items.

In the evening, Henry learned about the situation.

He remembered Hardy asking him to arrange someone in the prison, and he was indeed insightful.

The captain of the guards actually tried to have Andy killed.

Henry called Hardy.

After hearing Henry's report, Hardy didn't seem too surprised. He had seen the movie and knew about the warden's involvement in Andy's money laundering and falsifying records. With Andy potentially getting his case reopened, the warden was bound to have other thoughts.

"Henry, give that warden a warning!"

...

The warden of Shawshank and his wife were sleeping at home. In the morning, the woman opened her eyes, still groggy, and noticed something hanging from the ceiling.

When she saw what it was, she screamed in horror.

"Ahhh~~~!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" The warden was startled awake by the scream.

"Sam look our dogs... they're dead!"

The woman said this, covering her mouth in terror.

In their bedroom, the couple's two dogs were hanging from the ceiling fan, their mouths pierced with iron hooks, their bodies covered in wounds, and blood dripping onto the floor. The scene was gruesome and horrifying.

The warden was also terrified.

"What happened here? I'm calling the police!" The warden tried to remain calm as he got out of bed and quickly walked to the table to make a call.

"Ring, ring~!"

At that moment, the phone rang suddenly.

The warden hesitated and answered it.

A sinister voice came from the other end, "Warden Norton, you've seen our gift, right? When we hung them in your bedroom, you and your wife were sleeping so soundly that we didn't want to disturb you."

The warden understood the implication: these people had killed his dogs, and they could enter his room and hang the dogs without waking him, meaning they could easily kill him too.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The warden shouted angrily into the phone.

"Think about what you've done."

The warden was stunned.

What had he done? He had done so many things, he couldn't know what had offended these people.

The voice on the other end spoke again.

But the next words made the warden's blood run cold.

"The prison's annual maintenance costs exceed tens of thousands, but half of that went into your pocket. The Doolittle Construction Company just put on a show, right?"

"Dorey Food Supply Company provides the prison's food, which is of poor quality, but the reimbursement price is twice the cost of the ingredients. You've pocketed the difference. Warden, if we hand this evidence to the IRS, what do you think will happen to you?"

"What do you... what do you want?" The warden's voice was no longer angry, it was almost pleading.

"Simple, ensure Andy's safety. We won't expose your actions, but remember, if anything happens to him, your fate will be worse than his, including your family." The voice spoke menacingly.

"Of course, if you cooperate, there's still a chance to fix things."

The warden, trembling, put down the phone.

His wife grabbed his arm and said, "Sam, did you call the police? Let them catch those bastards, they killed our dogs."

The warden took a deep breath.

"We can't call the police, we have to handle this ourselves."

"Why?" His wife screamed.

The warden was frustrated, "Can't you see? This was a warning. The call just now was from those people. If we dare to call the police, they'll send me to prison or even come at night and kill you."

His wife was also terrified.

"Then, what should we do?"

"What else can we do but follow their instructions?" The warden said despondently.

The warden returned to Shawshank Prison.

He went to his office.

Captain Haley immediately followed him in, closing the door and whispering, "Warden, I've arranged for a guy named Damon to find an opportunity to kill Andy. He'll make it look like a fight, no way it'll be traced back to us."

The warden's face became fierce after hearing that.

Captain Haley was stunned by the warden's reaction.

"Warden, what's going on?"

The warden shouted at Haley , "Stop it, you must stop it. Go tell your guy immediately, Andy must not be killed, everything must stop."

"Huh?" Haley was confused.

"You were the one who wanted him dead, and now you suddenly want to stop."

"But if Andy overturns the case and gets out of prison, what if he exposes us?" Haley asked.

The warden thought to himself.

His actions had already been discovered, and now Andy was no longer the focus, the focus was on those threatening him.

If Andy were killed, the other side would surely retaliate.

He would end up in prison or be killed on the streets, his family harmed, no good outcome. But if Andy got out, even if he reported them, at worst, the warden would be punished, but his family would remain unharmed.

There was also a chance that Andy wouldn't expose them. The other side said there was still a chance to fix things, giving him a glimmer of hope.

He had no choice but to comply.

There was no other way.

"Stop talking nonsense, go notify your guy immediately to stop the action, understood?" The warden yelled at Haley .

"Okay, I'll go notify him right away."

Captain Haley called Damon into his office, closed the door, and whispered, "The thing we discussed earlier, stop it, it ends here."

Leaving Haley's office.

Damon had a smile on his face.

The person who contacted his uncle had a lot of power, they had settled the matter by today after only learning about it yesterday.
