Ye Chen had considerable influence within the prison, commanding both wind and rain metaphorically, but unfortunately, those outside were relentlessly trying to kill him. Zhang Dadan grew increasingly fearful of Ye Chen because Ye Chen was constantly threatening his position, and the Prison Director was no longer as commanding and enthusiastic towards him as before. Thus, Zhang Dadan hid in his room, constantly pondering his future moves. As long as Ye Chen was alive, there seemed to be no chance for him to rise, and worse, his position might even be replaced by Ye Chen.
"Brother Dandan, look, should we find an opportunity to take Ye Chen out?" one of Zhang Dadan's little brothers approached him, hinting at a plot. Ever since Zhang Dadan entered the prison, some of his followers had deliberately committed crimes to join him there and stick with him.
