    Just like Li Du had seen on TV, the prison guards distributed the daily essentials to


    them and then sent them to their separate cells.


    As a rule, people who came in together were separated. The four of them were taken to


    different cells.


    A dignified-looking ck prison guard took Li Du to Cell B.


    The section was a simple block of cells, something like a crude version of a hotel, with


    rooms next to each other.


    In order to facilitate supervision, the door of the cell was made of iron bars. Li Du looked


    inside and saw that it was about 20 square meters. There were bunk beds like in his


    middle school, toilets, and bookshelves.


    They were brought in at midnight. The prisoners were sleeping, but when they saw the


    guardse in with shlights, they knew that mew prisoners had arrived. At once,


    there were prisoners who got to the cell door and knocked.


    Bang bang bang… sounded the noise.


    The noise soon woke most of the inmates, who clustered together at the door of the


    cell, banging on the iron bars with books or simple tools.


    Meanwhile, others were shouting:


    “Haha, rookies again! He is mine, tomorrow I want to give him some good treatment.”


    “Come to me,e here, little Chink boy!”


    “I will eat you! Look at me. Look what good things I have here. Whoa! I’m going to eat


    you!”


    The crazy noise was maddening. When Li Du passed the door of a cell, someone inside


    tried to reach out to grab him.


    The ck prison guard banged on the iron gate with his club, pointed inside and


    shouted, “Saric, I’m after you, behave yourself!”


    Inside, a white man covered in tattoos chuckled, revealing his rotten teeth.


    Americans paid great attention to the maintenance of teeth and oral health, and if


    someone had bad teeth, he would wear braces as a child.


    The young white man with a mouth full of rotten teeth was probably a drug addict.


    The prison guard was not a bad man. He tried to reassure Li Du. “Don’t be afraid, they


    are just scaring you, they won’t do anything to you.”


    Li Du was not afraid. He smiled and said, “It’s OK, even if they try, it doesn’t matter, I


    can deal with it.”


    The prison guard looked at him in surprise and said, “Are you Asian? Chinese? I have


    seldom seen your kind as calm as you are in prison. Most of your countrymen are


    afraid.”


    Li Du simply said, “I’m not afraid.”


    The guard shrugged and said, “I hope you’re as tough as you try to show. Well, here’s


    Cell 402, get in.”


    There was a ck youth in that cell. He, too, was banging on the bars of the door. He


    saw the guard open the door and stood against the wall.


    The prison guard sent Li Du in and pointed to the young man. “Raymond, be fair and


    don’t damn mess with me. Otherwise, I will take care of you, understand?”


    The youth said, “Yes, sir!”


    The prison guard nodded and said to Li Du, “If there is a problem, call me. If someone


    messes with you, tell me first thing, don’t damn try to bear it to your limits. I don’t want


    anyone tomit suicide on my ward.”


    Li Du had an ominous feeling at hearing this. It seemed that the prison was a really


    rough ce. He had to find a way out quickly.


    After the guard listed some rules, he left Li Du in the cell and walked out, locking the


    door behind him.


    There was no noise outside now. Seeing that Li Du was not frightened by their threats,


    the prisoners went back to sleep listlessly.


    As the guard left, Raymond rxed. He dragged out the only chair in the room, sat


    down and said, “Do you understand English?”


    Li Du ignored him and put his bags on the bed.


    Raymond asked twice, then scratched his head and said, “F**k, stupid yellow monkey,


    doesn’t even speak English, damn, looks like a topper…”


    Before he could finish, Li Du kicked him sideways.


    Raymond screamed as he toppled down with his chair. He stood up angrily, breathing


    heavily like a bull, and shouted, “Son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you!”


    Li Du clenched his fists, spread his feet and beckoned the guy toe at him.


    Raymond clenched his fists as well and rushed up. Li Du slowed down time and moved


    aside to avoid him. He bent and punched the guy in the belly, then twisted his waist,


    slipped aside, and kicked his back with his feet.


    The young man stumbled into the cell door. Li Du grabbed him by the neck and pulled


    him back. Raymond turned around and tried to punch him. Li Du easily dodged and


    kicked him in the belly with his knee.


    “Shit!” Raymond squatted on the ground, clutching his stomach.


    Li Du kicked him in the face again, and Raymond fell to the ground with his head in his


    arms, crying, Don’t hit me, don’t hit me! I’llin about you to the guard!”


    This left Li Du quite surprised. So this fe is just a coward?


    Li Du stopped the beating and said coldly, “If you go to the prison guard, I will beat you


    every time I see you. More than ten of us came in together, and next time it might not be


    just me against you!”


    Raymond was quiet now, he buried his head in his arms and said, “Don’t beat me, I


    won’t report you, I promise we’ll get along peacefully!”


    Li Du strove to keep his face cold and malicious, and said, “Sure, but you apologize


    first!”


    Raymond got up with a sullen face and said, “I apologize?”


    Li Du sneered and said, “You started this. If you don’t apologize, should I?”


    Raymond looked at him nkly and said, “Ok, ok, I’m sorry, really sorry…”


    Li Du frowned and said, “So insincere?”


    He put on a vicious look, while inwardly he wanted tough. He did not expect his fellow


    cellmate to turn out so soft, he thought it would be as crazy as in the TV shows.


    “No, no, don’t be angry. No, big brother, don’t be angry, I, I, I don’t know what I did


    wrong.”


    At this point, Raymond looked on the verge of tears.


    Li Du red at him. “You don’t know what’s wrong? You called me a yellow-skinned


    monkey!”


    Raymond was stunned and asked, “Did I say that?”


    A shadow shed before his eyes, and the items on his bedside table were swept to the


    ground in a lightning-fast move.


    Raymond was so scared that he cried out, “Sorry, Big Brother, my mouth is so mean. I


    just talked nonsense. Please forgive me. I’m sorry!”


    Li Du looked at him coldly and said, “Tell me about the rules and situation in this prison.


    If you hide anything, you’ll regret it.”


    He didn’t feel the need to give a coldugh. Raymond was already terrified of him.
