Yang Yi was rather frustrated. Since he had entered prison, nothing had gone as planned.

"Why? Why didn't you enable this service? Bro, aren't there many illegal immigrants here?!"

Buddy replied helplessly, "The person who smuggled the phone and calling card into the prison didn't enable the function, what can I do about it? Without enabling the international calling function, the call rate is very expensive. Moreover, there isn't much prepaid credit. So, you won't be able to call abroad. There's a special calling card for long distance international calls. No one will use a normal card to make such a call. It's just too expensive!"

Yang Yi scowled and rubbed his forehead, "This is really troublesome. Fuck! Let me think."

Buddy responded in annoyance, "What a bother, return my phone to me. You should have told me earlier you wanted to make an international call. I will inform you if I enable this function in the future."

Danny didn't leave him with anything when he kicked Yang Yi straight into the prison. It was unfortunate that Yang Yi needed a lot of money right now. Without it, he wouldn't be able to execute his plan. Essentially money would also reduce his suffering and make his life more comfortable.

"Wait! Give me a moment to think. Ok, I'm going to make a call."

Yang Yi couldn't delay any further, thus he dialed a phone number. As Yang Yi placed the phone to his ear, he started praying, "Faster pick up the phone… Faster pick up the phone."

Yang Yi was overjoyed when the call connected. He immediately said, "Hello, is this Xiao Ran?"

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment when Yang Yi spoke to her in English. She immediately said, "I'm Xiao Ran. Who are you?"

Yang Yi felt rather horrible since he couldn't reveal his name. He then looked at Buddy and whispered, "Bro, can you give me some privacy?"

Buddy responded with a shrug, "Make it fast. Don't take too long."

"Who are you?"

Xiao Ran promptly asked again. Yang Yi replied with a laugh, "Remember me? The one who sent you to the airport."

Xiao Ran immediately exclaimed, "Yang Yi? You're in America?"

Yang Yi replied, "Yes, I'm in America. Err, I hope you can help me out with something…"

It was painful to ask for money. It was made even worse because Yang Yi had to ask a beautiful woman for it.

Not only was it going to be painful, Yang Yi would lose face as well. Strictly speaking, Xiao Ran stilled owed him money but he had already said she didn't have to pay him.

So, Yang Yi felt like he was borrowing money instead.

"What help do you need?"

Nevertheless, was face important when survival was at stake? Thus, Yang Yi said, "Can you loan me some money? I need a thousand dollars. A thousand dollars is all I need. I will repay you later."

"Loan you money? No need for you to pay it back, I still owe you money. How come your phone number had been terminated when I tried to call you? How will you receive the money? Do I send it to your account? Never mind, tell me where you are."

Yang Yi contemplated the question for a while. If possible, he didn't want to reveal his location. This was inevitably impossible because Yang Yi would have to give Xiao Ran his inmate ID to receive the money.

Yang Yi answered, "I'm in California's Pelican Bay State Prison. As to why I'm here, can I not answer you? I will answer all your questions when I get out of here. Ok?"

Xiao Ran was astonished, "Pelican Bay State Prison! Shit! How did you end up in prison? It hasn't even been a long time and you have ended up in prison? What's more, it's actually an American prison? What happened? Shit! Has your verdict been announced? Are you mistaken? Are you sure it's Pelican Bay State Prison? When did you come here and what crime did you commit? Did you get a lawyer? I can get you a lawyer if you need one. How was your verdict decided so quickly and how are you already serving your sentence? What's actually going on?"

Xiao Ran had overwhelmed Yang Yi with a whole list of questions. Thus, he hurriedly said, "It's not convenient for me to say too much right now. So, can you loan me a thousand dollars to help me out?"

"What do you mean by loan! It's what I owe you. How much do you need? Isn't a thousand a bit too little? Why don't I send you ten thousand dollars?"

Definitely a bigwig! Yang Yi inwardly thought. Recalling his past interactions with Xiao Ran, she did behave like a bigwig.

"I won't be able to use that much. One thousand is more than enough. I will let you know if I need more. I will give you my inmate ID. You just have to transfer money to this ID. I'm not entirely sure how it works. So, I will have to trouble you to find out how to do it."

"I will come to visit you. So, wait for me. We can talk later. I will also bring along a lawyer."

Yang Yi was shocked. He had never expected Xiao Ran to be so upright. Yang Yi began to regret calling Xiao Ran.

"No matter what, please don't visit me. Otherwise, I will be in a lot of trouble. It's not convenient for me to tell you more right now. So, just do as I have asked."

Xiao Ran was silent for a moment before replying, "Sure. I'm not sure what happened to you, but are you sure you don't need a lawyer? So secretive, I will just do as you asked then."

"There is no need. You just need to remember my ID."

After informing Xiao Ran of his ID, he immediately ended the call.

"Okay bro, it was four minutes and twenty seconds. That's fifty dollars. I will pay you a hundred dollars once I get the money."

Buddy took back the phone and nodded in acknowledgement after checking the time. "You owe me a hundred dollars. When will you give me the money?"

"I'm not sure yet. It all depends on when I get my money. It shouldn't take too long though."

"You'll have to pay me an extra ten dollars every day you still owe me money. Since you will be getting money soon, is there anything else you want from me? I should have what you need."

Buddy immediately became spirited. Rich inmates were very rare and now Yang Yi had money to spend.

Yang Yi suppressed his voice and asked, "Do you have weapons?"

"Weapons? I can get them but I will never sell them. That is how I ensure my survival. So, you should drop it. I know what you're worried about but you can't resolve your dispute with the Boxing King just by using a knife. I can introduce you to a gang and they can protect you."

Yang Yi would definitely not join a gang. He replied, "I won't join a gang. Other than that, are there any other ways to resolve the dispute?"

Buddy smacked his own head and smiled bitterly, "Fuck! I overlooked an important detail. Fuck! Fuck! I forgot the Boxing King wants to kill you. I'll be damned for giving you credit!"

Yang Yi immediately replied, "You should help me think of a method then. It will also ensure that you get your money. Bro, why don't you give me a suggestion? I'll even pay you a hundred dollars for it."

Buddy sighed helplessly, "You can either join a gang or eliminate Boxing King and all his men. Boxing King is a very persistent fella. You don't have any other choice besides one of these two methods."
