PRI Chapter 26: Angelina's Suggestion and Challenge Mission

"Warden, the information you requested has been investigated."

Angelina placed the documents properly, then thoughtfully poured a glass of water and placed it on the table.

However, Lind didn't look at the documents or drink the water. Instead, he suddenly slammed the table, "These son-of-a-bitch criminals!"

Seeing Angelina's gaze following him closely, he said, "I'm talking about those animals who shot at us today. They're a Mexican drug trafficking organization."

"Drug trafficking organization?" Angelina frowned tightly, her fingers unconsciously rubbing against her black stockings.

"Yes, it's the Gulf Cartel, Casas's organization. Oh, you don't know who Casas is."

No, I do know.

Angelina showed a listening expression on the surface, but in her heart she recalled the series of investigations before entering Border Prison.

According to CIA intelligence, Casas was the second-in-command of the Gulf Cartel's drug trafficking activities at the US-Mexico border. Last year he was caught after a failed drug deal and imprisoned at Huntsville Prison.

But after Border Prison was established, someone bribed the warden with dollars to transfer Casas to Border Prison, apparently planning to have him escape from there.

After all, Border Prison was very close to the Mexican border, and as a new prison, the difficulty of escaping wouldn't be high.

Unfortunately, Casas might have had bad luck and was shot dead with three bullets after successfully inciting a riot.

That's right, with just a little investigation, the CIA roughly learned the truth about what happened at Border Prison that night.

However, the CIA and Federal Bureau of Prisons were two different systems and generally wouldn't interfere with each other's work.

Angelina naturally wasn't here because of such reasons either. What she needed to investigate was more complex and couldn't be publicized.

So when she heard Lind mention Casas's identity, her heart remained calm.

Of course, she still showed surprise on her face.

Lind continued, "Casas talked to me, wanting to help the Gulf Cartel boss behind him acquire part of the prison's shares for drug trafficking. For this, they promised me a portion of the profits, but I refused."

Refused?

This time Angelina was genuinely surprised, because from her observations during this period, while she didn't know this warden's upper limit, his lower limit was truly low.

As long as he could make money, he wouldn't hesitate even if it meant exploiting legal loopholes.

In fact, even if someday in the future he sold all the prisoners' organs in batches for profit, she wouldn't be surprised.

After all, the harsh exploitation rules Lind had established for prisoners absolutely deserved to be hung on street lamps.

But she hadn't expected Lind to choose to refuse the massive profits from drug trafficking.

This was different from what she had imagined. After all, Lind Edward was himself a drug addict. How could he suddenly become a hero fighting against drugs?

She continued listening to Lind, "So these guys are now threatening me! F*ck, they want to turn Border Prison into a drug manufacturing plant!"

"Now it's just shooting warnings. Later they might kidnap me and put a gun to my mouth to make me comply!"

Lind clenched his fist forcefully, "But the thing I hate most in my life is drug dealers. I will not submit!"

Saying this, he looked at Angelina, "If you're scared, you can resign now."

"No..." Angelina instinctively replied, then realized she had been too decisive and immediately changed her tone, "I mean, why not call the police?"

"Call the police?" Lind smiled bitterly, "Do you think Mexican criminal organizations would fear the police? Of course, in America they can't be completely unrestrained, but after killing me, finding a few scapegoats wouldn't be too simple, would it?"

Angelina was speechless. This was indeed something that couldn't be helped.

"Fortunately, I also have leverage on them!" Lind suddenly stood up as he said this.

Angelina immediately followed, "Leverage? What do you mean?"

Lind said, "I know the company these guys use for money laundering. Casas told me, it's the CEO of Rio Grande Construction Company, Travis McCallo."

"Rio Grande, isn't that the river at the US-Mexico border?"

"Exactly, these Mexican drug dealers are quite good at naming things." Lind sneered and continued, "If I give this information to the police, then they'll pay the price. I want these guys to know I'm not to be messed with!"

Seeing Lind wanting to walk toward the door, Angelina hurriedly tried to stop him, "Warden!"

"What's wrong?" Lind turned back.

"I think you should think it over again. If you report them now, won't they retaliate doubly?"

Lind stopped, "You make a good point, but even if I do nothing, these guys won't let me go, won't let this prison go."

"Right, so we can only investigate secretly. It would be best if we could catch all these people in one net." Angelina tried to use a suggestive tone, "Boss, don't you have connections with the state Department of Corrections? You could have them help notify the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). I believe the DEA would definitely be interested in this drug trafficking group."

"DEA?" Lind smacked his lips and suddenly smiled, "Right, absolutely right. The DEA definitely wouldn't mind another achievement. Thank you for the suggestion, I'll call right now."

"No need to thank me. I'll go out and handle other affairs first." Angelina quickly walked out the door.

"Click." After the door closed, she pressed herself against the door edge until she heard Lind's conversation with Avery from inside, then let out a long breath.

Damn it.

This warden was a bit too reckless, directly going head-to-head with drug dealers. Wasn't that seeking death?

If she didn't have a mission, she wouldn't want to enter this prison as a private secretary selling her looks.

With this time, wouldn't it be more fun to fish for handsome guys with eight-pack abs on the beaches of the Maldives?

Angelina swore this was absolutely the worst mission she had ever undertaken.

Even though this warden himself was quite good-looking and was her type.

But that didn't mean he could casually pat her butt!

However, considering his face, she could forgive this guy's rudeness.

Thinking this, she returned to the adjacent office.

Although she told Lind she was handling affairs, actually there were very few prison affairs, nothing much to handle.

Her main role here was to be a decorative vase.

But being a decorative vase had its advantages, namely getting to slack off happily every day.

Like now.

Angelina sat in her chair, kicked off her high heels, revealing her feet wrapped in black stockings.

She stepped on the soft carpet and took out the Dior lipstick from her bag, opening the cap.

The lipstick was earth-toned with a slightly velvet texture, feeling just right when applied to her lips.

The only problem was that she had already bought this lipstick.

Taking out a small mirror to touch up her lipstick and feeling her small belly, Angelina couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

It was all the fault of the cafeteria chef. The Texas meat patties were so delicious that she hadn't controlled her weight during this period.

"Looks like I need to control my appetite."

"Oh right, I also need to make a phone call and have headquarters help handle this. The mission isn't complete yet, so I can't let this guy Lind die under drug dealers' guns."

Angelina wanted to complete the mission as quickly as possible, and the key to the mission lay with old Edward.

But he was dead, so Angelina could only hope to investigate some clues from Lind.

And while Angelina was worrying about Lind's safety, Lind himself saw a system notification.
