Superhuman?
Infiltrating the women's prison to steal secrets?

The issue is……

What secrets could a women's prison possibly have that are easy to steal?
Li Xingzhou was somewhat puzzled and asked:

"What's the problem with the women's prison?"

Bansel explained:

"In the women's prison's garment workshop, because the inmates complained that the air was too stuffy, a batch of ventilation fans were recently installed..."

Li Xingzhou nodded approvingly:
"It's a good thing to consider the physical and mental health of prisoners and let them breathe fresh air! What's the problem?"

Bansel said:

“But we charged the prisoners for ventilation. Of course, the prisoners didn’t have the money, so we deducted it from their wages…”

Hearing this, Li Xingzhou felt a pang of conscience:

"I remember we've already reduced prisoners' wages to just one percent of New York's minimum wage, right? Can we really keep deducting from them?"

“Sure,” Bansel said calmly. “We can deduct one percent of their wages down to zero. If that’s not enough, we can extend their working hours to offset it. In short, after charging for ventilation, we no longer need to pay the prisoners even a penny, and we can extend their working hours by an extra hour each day…”

"Who came up with the idea of ​​installing ventilation fans and charging for ventilation?"

Before Banssel could answer on the phone, Emma raised her hand and said timidly:
“Boss, this was my idea…”

"..."

Li Xingzhou glanced at Emma and said approvingly:
“That’s right, you’ve already shown the self-awareness of being the master of America. As entrepreneurs who follow the rules of the free market, if air can be monopolized, we’ll have to charge for even breathing, and we’ll have to artificially create differences in quality, charging different fees for each level of air.”

Emma smiled sweetly:
"Boss is right, that's exactly what I was thinking, but I didn't expect it to cause trouble."

Li Xingzhou shook his head:

"This trouble might be something someone deliberately created for us."

He then spoke into the phone:

"Bansel, how did that superhuman end up in jail?"

"About five days ago, he was sentenced to six months in prison for street robbery..."

Li Xingzhou sneered disdainfully:
"Now, as long as the amount of a 'zero-dollar purchase' does not exceed nine hundred and fifty dollars and taxes are paid according to regulations at the time of sale, no case will be filed. It's just a street robbery, yet he was sentenced to six months in prison. Obviously, someone is deliberately causing trouble..."

"Yes. Although the superhuman female prisoner disguised as an ordinary robber only discovered minor issues, if they were exposed, with the help of the mastermind behind it all, the company's reputation would likely be severely damaged. Those idle human rights organizations would probably organize protests and put pressure on the city government..."

Li Xingzhou sighed helplessly:
"That's actually quite possible... You can't deal with that superhuman?"

Bansel replied:
"Because we weren't sure if she had backup, we didn't fire, lest things get out of control. Also, she's very strong. Dust Angel just arrived at the scene and fought her. The two are evenly matched in strength. Dust Angel has a slight edge in fighting skills, but that superhuman can fly, so Dust Angel can't do anything to her either."

"Its strength is on par with the Sand Angel, and it can even fly?"

Li Xingzhou frowned slightly:
"Since she can fly, couldn't she just escape?"

"Yes. But we've detained several prisoners who were helping her with the investigation, threatening them that if she escapes, we'll put those prisoners in steel life jackets and send them for a night swim in the sea. So she hasn't left yet and is currently confronting the Sand Angel. Oh, and there was also a pervert in a red bodysuit who came with the Sand Angel, but he was knocked away by that superhuman and we don't know if he's dead or not..."

"Oh, that pervert in the red bodysuit won't die."

Li Xingzhou said calmly:
"Keep her calm, I'll be right there."

A few minutes later.

Li Xingzhou, accompanied by Emma, ​​arrived at the garment workshop where the conflict had occurred.

Outside the workshop, a young woman dressed in an orange prison uniform was suspended several meters above the ground in the open space.

The sand angel, with a matchstick in his mouth, stood on the ground with his arms crossed, confronting her.

A dozen or so heavily armed prison guards surrounded the area, pointing more than a dozen assault rifles at the woman in the air, but the woman seemed fearless and emboldened.

Bancells, surrounded by two prison guards in exoskeleton suits carrying squad machine guns, was negotiating with the young woman. Upon seeing Li Xingzhou and Emma arrive, he quickly came forward to introduce them:
“Boss, that woman calls herself Jessica Jones and claims to be a private investigator.”

"A private investigator? Since she's a private investigator, she must have taken on a job, right? Have you found out who sent her?"

"She didn't say."

"Okay, even if they didn't say it, I could probably guess that it was probably the work of the Punishment Group again."

The Punishment Group failed in their last assassination attempt with the Sand Angels and remained quiet for a while afterward, but they clearly didn't give up and used another trick to cause trouble.

That said, if that private investigator named Jessica Jones were to release the findings of her investigation into Rex Prison, those idle human rights organizations would surely jump out and cause trouble.

Under pressure, the New York City government might actually revoke the contract for Rex Jail and transfer it to a correctional organization.

"Looks like we need to give the big bosses of the disciplinary group some retribution..."

Li Xingzhou muttered to himself. At that moment, Jessica Jones, who was hovering in the air, also noticed Li Xingzhou and asked:
"You're Leonard Victor, the owner of MASA?"

"Yes, I am Leonardo Victor."

Li Xingzhou smiled politely at Jessica Jones and asked:

"Miss Jones, what is your purpose in infiltrating my prison?"

Jessica Jones sneered:

"Whatever my original purpose, what I've witnessed has completely enraged me. I never imagined that such slave plantation-like prisons could still exist in modern society..."

“Then I can only say that you’re making a fuss over nothing.” Li Xingzhou shrugged. “In fact, almost all private prisons do exactly the same thing as me.”

"Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean it's right!" Jessica Jones said angrily. "I will expose you and make your actions public!"

Li Xingzhou asked, puzzled:

"But what exactly did we do wrong to make you so angry?"

"What did we do wrong? More than fourteen hours of forced labor every day, barely enough food to keep us from starving, a cell with no room to move around that can barely fit a bed board, and all sorts of random charges... even breathing some fresh air costs money..."

Jessica grew increasingly angry as she spoke, her cheeks flushed red, her chest heaving as she fiercely accused:
"Criminals also have human rights! How can you treat prisoners like this? Your actions are nothing short of vampire behavior!"

You're right, there really are vampires among the guards here, but they're on night shift...

Li Xingzhou shook his head and sighed:
“Miss Jones, as a superhuman, I originally thought you would have a vision that transcends the mundane world, but I didn’t expect that your perspective is still as short-sighted as that of ordinary mortals…”

Jessica Jones was taken aback:
"What did you say?"

Li Xingzhou said solemnly:

"The reason my prison has such strict rules is precisely to reform the prisoners and help them become new people. Ask yourself honestly, even a superhuman like you can't endure the prison environment, let alone an ordinary person? And what are the chances of prisoners who have undergone such harsh reformation re-offending?"
"Won't they lose all courage to commit crimes because they're afraid of being sent back to Rex Prison? On the contrary, if I were like those in Northern Europe, taking care of the so-called human rights of criminals and making prison like a vacation, letting prisoners live comfortably and grow fat and healthy, which prisoner would sincerely repent? They might just commit crimes again as soon as they get out of prison. Anyway, going to prison is like a vacation, and they won't be afraid of going to prison at all."

"You say criminals also have human rights, but have you ever considered the victims harmed by criminals? Don't they have human rights too? Are they just destined to suffer? Meanwhile, the criminals who harm them can enjoy a pleasant vacation in prison under the protection of the word 'human rights,' interacting with fellow inmates, learning more and more advanced criminal techniques, and continuing to harm innocent people after their release..."

Li Xingzhou shook his head and said disdainfully:
"There is nothing more absurd in the world!"

Okay, he's actually misrepresenting the facts, because in the vast Rikers Island prison, with over ten thousand inmates, not every single one is a murderer or a serious offender convicted of aggravated assault...

But his righteous and stern words were enough to shut Jessica Jones up.

Jessica was stunned for a long time by his words, unable to think of any rebuttal, and in the end, she could only shout angrily:

"You...you're just making excuses! You're just exploiting them!" "Yes, I am exploiting them."

Li Xingzhou shrugged:
"It caused them mental distress and pain, physical exhaustion, hunger pangs, and empty wallets, leaving them without a single penny of reward... But because of this, they gained a valuable lesson. In the future, whenever they have the thought of committing a crime, they will think of the prison on Rikers Island and will shudder and give up the crime... You see, they dare not commit crimes and can only start anew, while I gained profits and the spiritual satisfaction of giving back to society and reducing the crime rate. This is called a win-win situation."

Yes, it's a win-win situation; I won twice by myself.

Jessica felt a wave of suffocation.

How could there be such people in the world?
He spouts high-sounding righteousness, and more importantly, he acts with such self-righteousness that he genuinely believes his actions are just!
"Leonardo Victor, you're a monster!"

“Miss Jessica Jones, I can forgive your slanderous words spoken in a fit of anger.”

Li Xingzhou smiled with impeccable elegance:
"But I must remind you that everyone who knows me knows that I am a patriot, a conscientious social entrepreneur, and an outstanding young person who upholds the light of America's beacon."

Bansel nodded repeatedly in agreement:
"Yes, no one is more socially responsible than our boss."

Emma cupped her cheeks in her hands, her eyes shining with admiration:

"Boss is the best person in the world. Maybe God used Boss as a template when creating angels..."

The sandstorm angel, speechless, nodded reluctantly and said perfunctorily:

"Yes, yes, he is a great man. There is no one more upright and righteous than him."

The jailers all praised him, saying that the best decision they had ever made was following Leonardo Victor, and that they would continue to follow him even after they died and went to hell.

Looking at this group of villains who turned black into white, Jessica Jones felt a sense of suffocation and dizziness.

Unable to outwit the seemingly elegant gentleman or even a noble prince, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

First, capture him and use him as a hostage to coerce this dark prison into releasing the female prisoners they control and threaten. Then, expose all the ugliness here and use public pressure to force the municipal government to take back the prison contract!

Jessica made her decision and suddenly swooped down from the sky, rushing towards Li Xingzhou with lightning speed.

"So you resort to violence when you can't win an argument?"

Li Xingzhou shook his head and sighed:
"But you..."

With a flash, Jessica missed her target, and Li Xingzhou appeared above her.

"You've chosen the wrong person..."

Li Xingzhou slammed his right elbow down, striking Jessica Jones squarely in the back of the head. With a deafening roar like a tire exploding, a shockwave erupted from the point of impact on Jessica's head, scattering in all directions and causing the clothes of everyone around to flutter wildly.

Jessica Jones, like a crashed plane, plummeted headfirst to the ground.

Bang!
With a loud bang, she slammed her head into the ground, her entire face embedding itself in the earth.

But her ability to withstand blows is also incredibly strong. She didn't faint after taking that blow; she braced herself with her hands on the ground and tried to get up again.

But Li Xingzhou had already landed to her side and delivered a powerful kick that struck her in the waist and ribs, sending her spinning like a windmill as she crashed into the wall more than ten meters away with a loud bang, creating a large hole in the thick wall and burying her in the rubble.

Now she finally stopped moving, it seems her resilience is about the same as that of the Sandstorm Angel.

Seeing Jessica Jones's plight, the Sand Angel felt a chill run down her spine and took the initiative to clear away the debris and pull Jessica Jones out.

"Boss, what should we do?"

The Dust Angel asked respectfully.

Li Xingzhou casually gave the following instructions:
"Give it to Emma."

Emma smiled and, using the power of the Mind Image Mystic Demon to empower herself, took Jessica Jones from the Sandstorm Angel and lifted her up with one hand.

"Pack up and get back to work."

Li Xingzhou then instructed Banssel. He then asked the Sandstorm Angel:
"Where's Deadpool?"

"I don't know." The Dust Angel shrugged. "He was just punched by Jessica and sent flying over the courtyard wall. Maybe he was smashed to pieces?"

"Hey everyone, I'm here! I'm still alive!"

The pervert in the red bodysuit crawled in through the hole Jessica had made, rubbing his back as he walked over, muttering to himself:

"This is unbelievable! How can there be so many perverts in this world? That female prisoner looked so weak and vulnerable, but heaven knows she was stronger than a rhinoceros. She broke my back with one punch..."

Li Xingzhou nodded to him:

"Although you don't seem to have been of much use, anyway... thank you for your help."

He then said to the Sandstorm Angel:

"Tell him whatever he wants to know the truth."

Deadpool laughed:

"Ha, Mr. Victor, I knew it! You're the best person in the world! From now on, if you want to take someone out, just call me. I guarantee in the name of Deadpool, the superhero, that no matter who your target is, I can do it for you!"

"Is it?"

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly and said:

“You know what a disciplinary group is, right? A modern-day slave-owning group that treats prisoners like slaves, exploiting them without any regard for human rights. I also run a private prison, and I can't stand by and watch these inhuman thugs ruin the reputation of our line of work. So, I hope you can arrest them and bring them here…”

He gave Deadpool an address.

"Don't worry, leave it to me! But they're all damn thugs anyway, why not just kill them? It's too much trouble to capture them."

Deadpool thumped his chest loudly. As a superhero, dealing with modern slave owners who disregard the human rights of criminals and exploit them like slaves is exactly what he's good at.

However, Deadpool has always preferred to kill in large numbers, and capturing people alive is really not to his liking.

Li Xingzhou smiled. "If they died from assassination, it might cause me some trouble. After all, nothing can withstand investigation. Once someone investigates... well, given their status, someone will definitely investigate, and then they'll find out they're engaged in a business war with me... Although I'm not afraid of trouble, I don't like constantly dealing with trouble. So... I have to make sure they die a normal death."

Deadpool shrugged helplessly: "Okay, you're the boss. Wait for my good news."

Li Xingzhou patted him on the shoulder: "Thanks."

If Deadpool fails, it's not a big deal; we can just send in the Sand Angels or Death Walkers.

After getting rid of Deadpool, Li Xingzhou and Emma returned to Building One and went to the infirmary.

He ordered Emma to undress Jessica and place her on the examination bed. Emma obeyed his orders without question, but couldn't help saying:
"Boss, this woman is average-looking, and her figure is just barely acceptable. If you need her..."

"..."

Li Xingzhou glanced at Emma speechlessly:
"I never force women, and I would never be so shameless as to lay a hand on a woman who is unconscious. I'm just going to make a little modification to her..."

As he spoke, he examined Jessica Jones's now naked body. Seeing that she had only suffered minor injuries and was unconscious after his merciless assault, he nodded in satisfaction.

"She's good material for a Taoist soldier... I remember she had a companion named Luke Cage? Also an invulnerable, incredibly strong tough guy? Heh, good material for a Taoist soldier too..."

Yes, Li Xingzhou didn't intend to do anything to Jesse Jones; he just wanted to refine her into a Dao soldier and use her for his own purposes.

There was no way around it; he was just that kind-hearted, and he didn't even want to exterminate his enemies.

If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue in this life, when you become an immortal in the future, you should not fall into the destructive lightning tribulation that even a half-step true immortal cannot withstand, right?
I'm begging for votes!
