Faced with Hao Ziqiang's response, Yan Gui was at a loss for words. Hao Ziqiang spoke about the rules, but Yan Gui had no counterargument because the regulations indeed stipulated that the leader of the investigation team must inspect the work of their subordinates. However, while the regulations required it, how many people would actually carry out such meticulous inspections during a real investigation? If one were to check every corner of the prison thoroughly, their bones might just fall apart.
Seeing Yan Gui's discomfort, Yang Chi calmly interjected, "Why are you so anxious, Mr. Hao? Did Team Leader Yan say that there will be no re-examination? If my guess is correct, Team Leader Yan will review it in person right away. Am I right, Team Leader Yan?"
"Yes, you are right," Yan Gui replied, feeling somewhat embarrassed by Yang Chi's intervention. Despite having lived many years and graduating from an elite training camp, he found himself outmaneuvered by Hao Ziqiang. Alas, time is truly unforgiving. When he was younger, his thinking was never this sluggish.
Upon hearing Yan Gui's commitment to review, Hao Ziqiang felt pleased and quickly responded, "I see. It seems I wrongly blamed Team Leader Yan. I apologize to you here. To respect your precious time, let's get started right away." Hao Ziqiang returned to his respectful demeanor, causing both Yang Chi and Yan Gui to blink in surprise. Was this man a chameleon, changing his stance so quickly? However, given the circumstances, there was no point in challenging the strict regulations. Yan Gui signaled for the investigation team members to lead the way.
Thus, everyone proceeded towards the interior of the prison under the protection of the guards. Wang Lide had informed the on-duty prison guards in advance to secure the prisoners and avoid disturbances, like the ones that had occurred before. But upon entering the prison, Yan Gui finally understood why his team had given Iron Castle Prison such a high rating.
The reason was simple: the prison was impressively clean. Although the age of the walls was evident, reflecting natural wear over the years, there were no signs of external damage. The floors were spotless, so much so that one could see their reflection on them. There was no dust or rust in the window cracks, water pipe connections, or wall corners. This stark visual contrast gave Yan Gui the impression of an antique polished to perfection.
Moreover, the prison's security was remarkably stringent. Yan Gui's team visited several prisons, where they often encountered prisoners behaving indecently or provocatively upon seeing inspectors. Yet, Iron Castle Prison presented no such phenomena. The prisoners sat upright in their cells, like students awaiting inspection by leaders. Even a few difficult-looking inmates were obediently seated on their beds.
Such a scene left Yan Gui speechless. Even Hao Ziqiang, who was keen to find faults, had nothing to criticize.
Looking at Hao Ziqiang's complexion, which turned green and white, Yang Chi felt a little amused. Trying to find loopholes in the infrastructure of Ironfortress Prison? Yang Chi could only think that they were overestimating themselves. A few days ago, he had renovated the old prison facilities using the system.
In the [Renovate Prison] option, Yang Chi could use fear points to update the outdated equipment. Unlike the costly props in the [Prop Mall], the [Renovate Prison] option allowed him to update the basic equipment of the prison without worrying about the price. The fear points accumulated from the prisoners sent to the world of Dead by Daylight were enough for Yang Chi to make significant updates to the entire prison facility.
As for prison management issues, they were easy to solve. Yang Chi had implemented a class management system. He personally managed Zhou Hu, who then oversaw the most vicious prisoner leaders, thus controlling the lower-level prisoners through these murderers. This layer-by-layer management proved to be quite effective in a strictly hierarchical prison.
Of course, some prisoners were dissatisfied with such a strict system and caused trouble. The method to handle these troublemakers was simple: throw them into the world of Dead by Daylight. Regardless of how vicious a prisoner was, they would become docile after a few days inside. Haven't you noticed how well-behaved the prisoners are now? Those were all tamed by the butchers!
After a thorough inspection, Yan Ji felt completely at ease. Looking back at Yang Chi, Yan Gui's eyes were filled with relief. For Yan Qi, Iron Castle Prison was where he first started his own business and was also a bond of friendship with his late friend. It would be dishonest to say he had no feelings for the place. But seeing that Iron Castle Prison was managed so well under Yang Chi's care, Yan Gui couldn't be happier. At this point in the inspection, Yan Jujue felt there was no need to continue. Anyone seeing the prison managed like this would agree it deserved a five-star rating. Didn't you see that even Hao Ziqiang was silent now?
"Xiao Chi, I think this investigation should end here. It's getting late, and we should go back."
"Uncle Yan, please stay for a meal. I have already prepared the meal," Yang Chi said, surprised to hear that Yan Jui was leaving.
Yan Gui smiled and shook his head at Yang Chi's request. "No, we need to go back and submit the report of this investigation immediately. Don't worry, Xiaochi, Iron Castle Prison will definitely get a five-star rating."
"Then I'll thank Uncle Yan here first."
After bowing respectfully to Yan Gui, Yang Chi felt relieved. As Yan Jui said, after leaving Iron Fort Prison, Yan Jui immediately submitted the investigation report. Soon, the news that Iron Castle Prison received a five-star rating spread, with some news outlets specifically reporting on the matter. Now, Iron Castle Prison became famous!
