House Dad's Literary Life Chapter 286

Chapter 286 – The Reason for The Break

“Ah! Yang Yi, you scoundrel! Who can tell me his address? I want to mail him razor blades! No, I want to personally go up and have a talk about life with him!”

At four o’clock in the afternoon, in the office of a technology company in Guangzhou, a miserable and desperate roar sounded. The subordinates outside couldn’t hear it clearly, and could only look at Mu Yucheng inside the gla.s.s room, pulling his hair and going crazy.

With his loosened tie and messy hairstyle, Mu Yucheng’s originally elegant image seemed to have disappeared. This newly appointed department manager also lost his temper for the first time, causing his subordinates to tremble, for fear of being caught in the crossfire of this newly appointed officer…

What happened? What made Mu Yucheng go crazy and criticize Yang Yi like this?

Not only Mu Yucheng, but also tens of millions of netizens across the country who were following “Prison Break” also brandished their knives and sticks, shouting, “Yang Yi, get out here, I promise not to beat you to death!”

“Prison Break” has ended!

No, it couldn’t be said to have ended. Although the latest chapter has the word “end” in parentheses in the t.i.tle, it hasn’t completely concluded. Yang Yi, this scoundrel, provided an advance notice of its return at the end of the chapter.

Wait, regardless of any announcement, let’s take a look at the content of the recent chapters first! 1

Previously, Bellick was tied up in the pipeline by the old man, so Michael and the others had to start the prison break plan ahead of schedule. Michael even resorted to using a knife to force Warden Pope, who had been taking care of him, to notify someone to transfer Lincoln to the infirmary.

After many twists and difficulties, Michael and Lincoln finally climbed and escaped from the prison following the planned route. Although they lost old man Westmoreland, who died from severe injuries along the way, and Sucre’s brother Manche, who fell down after the rope broke due to his weight, the others still successfully crossed the wall. 2

The day before yesterday, when Mu Yucheng and other book friends saw the empty wall in the ill.u.s.trations and Manche being pinned down by the prison guards, confirming that Michael had also successfully escaped, they were once moved to tears and thought that Yang Yi had changed and would no long trick book friends!

They were too naive!

The plot after the prison break once again made their hearts tightened.

Michael and the others didn’t escape the danger. They found the car arranged by Abruzzi, left behind the mentally ill Haywire behind, and drove away to avoid being pursued by the prison guards.

But during this process, the suppressed conflicts within the team erupted once again. Abruzzi wanted to eliminate T-Bag in the car, but T-Bag had already planned for it. He handcuffed himself to Michael and even swallowed the key. As Abruzzi needed Michael’s plan, under the fear of the consequences, he could only temporarily give up.

In the subsequent journey, in order to evade police pursuit, the car got stuck in the mud, and the team had to abandon the car and continue on foot. Later, in a farmhouse, another conflict arose among the group. In order to get rid of T-Bag, Abruzzi took advantage of the moment when Sucre and others were holding T-Bag down and chopped off T-Bag’s hand with an axe!

When Mu Yucheng and the others saw the latest chapter with the word “(end)” written, they thought everything was over, and Yang Yi would arrange for these people to board a plane and leave.

However, at the beginning of this chapter, the situation of some characters was explained. The mentally ill “Haywire” continued to flee on a bicycle, T-Bag was not dead yet, Sara was found unconscious from an overdose of a drug, and Veronica appeared before Terrence, who had been killed by Lincoln…

It seemed like the fog has just revealed a small corner, but Yang Yi, in their increasingly uneasy mood, revealed the remaining plot. Just as the last five people were rus.h.i.+ng towards the plane, ready to take them away, the plane unexpectedly took off! The pursuing police cars were still chasing after them.

“Volume One ends, Advance Notice: Volume Two will begin again on January 1st next year. Please stay tuned.”

Yes, this line of words made Mu Yucheng feel despair and go crazy.

What the heck?

They escaped from the prison, so “Prison Break” should have ended, right? Why was it only the end of Volume One?

Okay, even if Volume One was over, why not continue writing? Starting again on January 1st next year, a month later. What was that about? Taking a month break?

Wasn’t this deceiving the readers?

“I’ve seen Yang Yi’s amazing skill of leaving readers hanging with a cliffhanger, and I thought that was the pinnacle of what humans could do. No, we were really too foolish. Something even more astonis.h.i.+ng than a cliffhanger is here, a volume cliffhanger!” A reader in the book review section said with a bitter smile.

Someone chimed in, saying, “What’s a volume cliffhanger? Yang Yi, darn it, is on a break! And the reasons given are so refres.h.i.+ngly unconventional!”

Someone below was going crazy, saying, “What should I do if I want to give up this book? What grave sin did I commit in my past life to come here and read Yang Yi’s books? And I even read ‘Prison Break’!”

“I also want to give up on this book! But I can’t bear to. I still want to know how they will escape later. And Sister Sara won’t die, right? Please don’t let the gentle and kind-hearted Sister Sara die! And what will be the fate of T-Bag and that crazy person, Haywire? What will happen to them?”

“Upstairs+1!”

“By the way, Yang Yi isn’t really on a break. The neighboring book ‘Yu Zui’ is still being updated…”

“I don’t want to read ‘Yu Zui’. After reading ‘Prison Break’, ‘Yu Zui’ and other online novels have become dull!”

“Ah, but what do we do during this book drought3? Forget it, let’s go and read ‘Yu Zui’. Hopefully, Great Yang will see our strong support and come back to update ‘Prison Break’ sooner…”

Gradually, the tone in the book review section changed. Although there were still some readers who had just seen the “Advance Notice” and were cursing Yang Yi, more and more people were flooding back to the book review section of ‘Yu Zui’.

During this period, “Yu Zui” which had experienced a slight decline in popularity, once again surged up the rankings, while “Prison Break”, which had been at the top of the list, remained unshakable.

……

Yang Yi, who was being criticized mercilessly, was not having a good time either. He received a phone call from his hometown: “Big brother, I don’t want to study anymore. I want to go to work!”

The one calling Yang Yi was Yang Yi’s younger sister, Yang Huan!

Yang Yi was the eldest brother, he has a younger brother named Yang Qing, and finally the youngest sister, Yang Huan.

Yang Qing was two years younger than Yang Yi. Unlike Yang Yi, he has always been farming at home and was an honest farmer. Although his predecessor had been sending money home by living frugally, Yang Qing had used it to support Yang Huan’s education. It was only in the past few months that Yang Yi started sending more money, and the family arranged for Yang Qing to marry. However, Yang Yi didn’t return home for the wedding.

Yang Huan was only 19 years old this year. Children in rural areas start school late, and she was only in her second year of high school. However, her grades were poor, and her mind was not on her studies. She always yearned for the big city.

After all, she was young! And she was the youngest child who was doted on by the whole family.

Now Yang Huan was causing trouble at home again, saying she didn’t want to study and wanted to find work in a big city to earn a lot of money like Yang Yi!

On the phone, Yang Yi was so entangled by her and had no choice but to say, “Well, why don’t you come to my place first, stay for a couple of days, and see how things go, okay?”

Yang Huan happily agreed.

However, after hanging up the phone, Yang Yi realized that things had gotten serious!
