96: We must never offend Miss Lei.

The other inmates in the cell were woken up by his shouting, rubbing their eyes, their faces full of impatience.

"What's all the noise about? Can't a person sleep in the middle of the night!" A burly man with a scarred face cursed, frowning.

"Yao Yuan, are you crazy? Where are these ghosts coming from? If you're having a breakdown, don't bother others!" Another inmate wearing glasses pushed up his spectacles, his tone full of disdain.

Everyone spoke over each other; no one believed Yao Yuan, only thinking he was making a scene.

The Prison Guard was quickly alerted. He walked into the cell with a flashlight, the blinding beam shining on Yao Yuan's face.

"Why are you shouting? What's the commotion?" The Prison Guard frowned, his tone stern.

"Officer, there are ghosts here! I saw the ghosts of many cats, quickly move me to another cell!" Yao Yuan lunged toward the Prison Guard, grabbing his arm, his voice trembling and his face full of terror.

The Prison Guard frowned and forcefully shook off Yao Yuan's hand.

"Ghosts? Are you out of your mind? Where are these ghosts? I think you're just deliberately causing trouble!"

He scanned the cell, finding nothing unusual.

"Behave yourself! If you dare to make noise again, I'll put you in solitary confinement!"

The Prison Guard warned him sternly, then turned and left, not bothering to deal with Yao Yuan anymore.

Yao Yuan watched the Prison Guard's retreating back, then looked at the contemptuous gazes of the other inmates, feeling chilled to the bone.

Help! What am I going to do for the rest of the night... The next morning.

Lei Jun groggily opened her eyes.

Hmm... what time is it?

She reached for her phone and saw that it was almost noon.

Tsk, I overslept.

She lay there lazily, pulled Pet Name out from under the blanket, cuddled her for a while, and then slowly got out of bed.

Picking up her phone, she saw several missed calls from Director Wang.

Lei Jun drank the coffee Lei Yue had brewed, feeling refreshed.

What was Old Wang so urgent about this early in the morning?

She called him back.

On the other end of the line, Director Wang excitedly said, "Miss Lei, I have great news! Yao Yuan... he's dead!"

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment.

Dead?

She subconsciously asked, "How did he die?"

Director Wang quickly explained, "You might not believe it when I tell you, but he was absolutely cursed with bad luck!"

"Last night, he was shouting about seeing ghosts and causing a ruckus."

"He calmed down later."

"But this morning during yard time, he decided, for whatever reason, to climb the old locust tree in the courtyard, claiming he wanted to check for bird nests."

"He slipped, fell, and was... dead on the spot."

Lei Jun was astonished.

The effect of this [Luck Control] skill... is truly amazing.

She had felt a bit stifled because the three-year sentence was too light, but now that resentment had completely vanished.

"Director Wang, thank you for specifically telling me this news."

Director Wang was overjoyed to hear Lei Jun's gratitude.

Miss Lei is indeed very pleased!

He quickly pledged his loyalty: "You're too kind! This is what I should do, reporting to you immediately!"

After hanging up, Lei Jun told Lei Ying and Lei Yue about Yao Yuan's death.

They were also very happy when they heard the news.

Lei Jun leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her stomach, suddenly feeling a bit hungry.

She recalled the past few days when she woke up early to cook and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What was I thinking back then?

Spending effort every day buying vegetables, washing vegetables, and cooking, just for the system to reward godly tycoon coins—it was a complete waste of time and energy.

"I'm not cooking today. Let's go out to eat,"

She stood up and picked up the jacket draped over the sofa.

"What do you two want to eat? Pick anything, it's my treat."

Lei Ying and Lei Yue exchanged a look and replied in unison, "Whatever Miss says."

...Just as Lei Jun and the others went out to eat, the news of Yao Yuan's death had already exploded online.

The trending topics on social media platforms like TikTok, Bilibili, and Weibo were dominated by related subjects.

Netizens began discussing intensely.

"Sentenced yesterday, dead today? That's too much of a coincidence! There must be foul play!"

"Dragon Country is too dark; they can't even protect inmates. I'm going to run!"

"The Heavenly Dao cycles well; the Heavens spare no one. Yao Yuan abused over four thousand cats, and now he died so miserably. This is retribution, and it serves him right!"

"Pfft... why do I kind of want to laugh at how he died?"

"This is the consequence of abusing and killing animals. Even Heaven couldn't stand it!"

Qin Yu was sitting in his company office, and when he scrolled past the news of Yao Yuan's death, he nearly dropped the coffee cup in his hand.

He stared at the reported cause of death on the screen, his pupils contracting sharply.

This is too much of a coincidence?

He was just sent to prison by Sister Lei's people yesterday, and today he died accidentally?

He quickly called his father, Qin Zhenhua, his voice full of shock: "Dad, Yao Yuan is dead, he fell to his death in prison!"

Qin Zhenhua said gravely, "I just saw the news. Do you think this was an accident?"

"How could it be an accident!" Qin Yu lowered his voice slightly. "Sister Lei must have done it!"

"Think about it: Yao Yuan offended Sister Lei, first she pushed for the new law to sentence him, and now he's 'accidentally' dead in prison. How is this a coincidence?"

"Clearly, Sister Lei didn't want him to live for three years!"

Qin Zhenhua was momentarily stunned, then slowly said, "It seems we still underestimated Miss Lei's power. If she wants someone to disappear, she doesn't need to act personally; she can make the person vanish silently just by lifting a finger."

"From now on, when dealing with Miss Lei, you must be even more careful and absolutely cannot show any disrespect!"

Qin Yu nodded emphatically: "I know!"

He was both shocked and terrified.

Sister Lei is too formidable; anyone who offends her dies so quickly.

Fortunately, he had decisively latched onto her influence back then and hadn't severely offended Lei Jun, or he might have ended up like Yao Yuan someday.

Wu Tian and Guo Hao were currently drinking tea at a private clubhouse, and when they saw the news, both of them jumped in shock.

"Yao Yuan is dead?" Wu Tian's eyes widened. "That way of dying... is too absurd, isn't it?"

Guo Hao frowned, scrolling his finger across the phone screen, reading the netizens' comments.

"Do you think this was truly an accident?"

"I doubt it!"

"Who exactly is Miss Lei?"

"She can have people from Bureau 749 as Bodyguards, and she has a top lawyer like Lei Yue working for her. If she wanted Yao Yuan to have an 'accident' in prison, wouldn't that be easy?"

Wu Tian swallowed hard, feeling a chill in his heart: "Are you saying... Miss Lei did this intentionally?"

"What else?" Guo Hao gave a wry smile. "Yao Yuan abused cats and offended Miss Lei. How could Miss Lei possibly let him serve three years peacefully?"

"This is a warning to all of us: anyone who dares to offend her will suffer Yao Yuan's fate!"

"From now on, we absolutely cannot offend Miss Lei!"
