Du Lao gave a wry smile and said, "I really didn't expect your comprehension ability to be so strong."
"I taught you the survival rules myself, and you actually used them against me!"
"But how did you know I would attack you?"
Chen Xuewen looked at the bag beside Du Lao and said, "You should know that everyone in the prison is now afraid of me."
"Nothing in the prison can be hidden from me."
"Two weeks ago, you had someone help you smuggle a dagger and some concentrated sulfuric acid into the prison."
Du Lao's expression changed and said, "This... this doesn't prove anything."
Chen Xuewen: "I've been wondering what you wanted the concentrated sulfuric acid for."
"When you took this bag and ran away from the prison with me, I roughly understood."
"You probably wanted to use this bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid to burn my body, disguise yourself as me, and then escape completely."
"To put it simply, you've been helping me from the very beginning to prepare for your own escape, right?"
Du Lao's face changed dramatically, his voice trembling: "This... this is all your own guesswork..."
Chen Xuewen: "Yes, it's all guesswork."
"But you taught me that being cautious in life and in doing things is never wrong."
"Since there's a possibility, I have to be prepared."
"And it turns out I wasn't wrong."
As Chen Xuewen spoke, he took off his prison uniform, revealing the clothes underneath.
Du Lao was stunned.
Because, inside Chen Xuewen's prison uniform, there were several pieces of pork hanging, covering several vital parts of his body.
Especially around his heart, there were several extra layers.
No wonder when he stabbed him just now, he felt like he was stabbing into flesh, so he didn't suspect anything.
Who could have imagined that that stab was actually into the pork Chen Xuewen had tied around his body in advance!
Chen Xuewen: "I made this meat armor in advance to guard against you."
"And that bag, I filled it with flour in the kitchen."
"I didn't know if I could beat you, so I could only use this method to blind your eyes with flour, at least giving myself a bit more hope."
Du Lao was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: "You kid, your comprehension ability is really strong. You're truly someone who can achieve great things."
"Being defeated by you, I accept it!"
"But who could have imagined that I, who have roamed the world, would be defeated by you, a young kid. Truly, the world is unpredictable..."
As Du Lao spoke, blood began to trickle from the corner of his mouth. He struggled a few times, then slowly fell to the ground, silent.
Chen Xuewen just stood beside him, staring straight at Du Lao's corpse without making any move.
After a while, Chen Xuewen picked up an iron bar on the ground and brought Du Lao's bag in front of him.
He opened the bag. Inside were some miscellaneous items and two books.
Chen Xuewen took out several glass bottles from it, which contained some liquids.
Chen Xuewen opened one bottle and directly poured the liquid onto Du Lao's corpse.
The already dead Du Lao suddenly twitched and jumped up, lunging straight at Chen Xuewen.
This Du Lao had actually been pretending to be dead all along, wanting to lure Chen Xuewen over and then kill him.
However, Chen Xuewen was too cautious and didn't approach him. Instead, he burned his body with concentrated sulfuric acid, forcing him to act prematurely.
Chen Xuewen seemed to have anticipated this scene. He directly threw the glass bottle in his hand at Du Lao.
It was a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid. Du Lao was startled and frantically tried to block it.
The glass bottle was deflected by Du Lao and landed on the grass a short distance away.
But Chen Xuewen took this opportunity to rush forward and directly thrust the iron bar in his hand into Du Lao's chest.
Du Lao let out a painful roar from the heavy blow. He grabbed Chen Xuewen by the neck and roared, "Kid, even if I die, I'll take you down with me!"
"Die!"
Du Lao's hands were like two iron pliers, squeezing the air out of Chen Xuewen.
Even though Chen Xuewen was young and strong, he couldn't break free from Du Lao's grip.
With no choice, Chen Xuewen could only hold onto Du Lao and jump into the river not far away. The icy water quickly submerged them both. Du Lao clutched Chen Xuewen's neck tightly, struggling desperately to get his head above water.
Chen Xuewen, on the other hand, held onto Du Lao and pushed him underwater with all his might.
Du Lao was quite strong, and despite his injuries, he was still able to hold his own against Chen Xuewen.
If they surfaced, Chen Xuewen would surely die.
The only thing Chen Xuewen could do now was to compete with Du Lao in lung capacity and see who could hold their breath longer underwater.
The two struggled and fought in the water for a long time. No matter how Du Lao fought back, Chen Xuewen held onto his neck and pushed him underwater with all his strength.
Eventually, Du Lao, being old and seriously injured, couldn't hold his breath as long as Chen Xuewen and gradually lost his strength.
Chen Xuewen seized the opportunity to surface and take a deep breath. Even though he inhaled a lot of water into his lungs, he still coughed and held Du Lao underwater.
It took about five or six minutes until Du Lao was completely still. Only then did Chen Xuewen slightly loosen his grip.
He pulled out the dagger from Du Lao's abdomen and stabbed him in several vital spots until he was sure Du Lao was dead.
He dragged Du Lao's body to the shore and panted heavily.
After a while, a flash of light appeared in the distance, finally bringing Chen Xuewen back to his senses.
He quickly turned his head and saw that the searchlights at the prison had turned on.
Chen Xuewen's expression changed. He knew that the prison had discovered their escape and was probably going to send people out to search.
He looked around and thought for a moment before coming up with a plan.
He turned Du Lao's body over, took off Du Lao's prison uniform and put it on himself.
Then, he put his own prison uniform on Du Lao.
After finishing all this, he found the half bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid from the grass and poured it over Du Lao's body.
The concentrated sulfuric acid quickly corroded Du Lao's body beyond recognition.
After cleaning up the scene, Chen Xuewen immediately pushed Du Lao's body into the fast-flowing river, and the body floated downstream.
Chen Xuewen himself did not leave.
He looked at the light shining from the distance, took a deep breath, picked up Du Lao's bag, and turned back into the sewer, crawling back along the original path.
Less than five minutes later, several cars sped up and arrived at the sewer exit.
The guard captain jumped down with his men. Seeing the situation at the exit, their faces all changed.
The captain shouted angrily, "They really did escape through the sewer."
"They can't have gone far. They must be around here!"
"Quick, send more men and conduct a thorough search along the river and its surroundings!"
The guards all sprang into action.
One guard looked into the sewer and asked, "Captain, what about in here?"
"Should we send someone to search?"
The captain glared at him and said, "Are you crazy? They've already escaped. Who would go back?"
"This sewer is filled with half a pool of feces, stinky and cold. If it were you, would you go back?"
"If you want to search, go in yourself."
The guard waved his hands frantically. The stench at the exit almost made him throw up. How could he dare to go in and search?
