I am inclined that the wife did drop the case and the warden didn't lie. In view of the fact that some prisoners have opened the manhole cover to take a taxi before, it is judged that the warden did not know that the four people in the room had a plan to escape. Otherwise, all four of them would run away within an hour.
Therefore, it was possible to intercept the coincidental factor the day before the warden, that is, Gai's wife withdrew the lawsuit just the day before, and learned about the escape plan through Gai's leak in the private conversation. However, it must be admitted that this kind of coincidence is inevitable, because the warden is good at digging out human nature, often looking for people to talk to, attracting available people, and mixing sand into the model cell must be intentional.
Moreover, it is conceivable that there is more than one person bought by the warden, and they should be all over the prison. At the beginning of the film, the narrator speculated that he escaped again in his prison career after the failed escape, and told the story of the year through the director's mouth.
Guy's character building is very successful, his seemingly handsome appearance and polite manner are very deceptive. Combined with the deeds of the characters, it is not surprising that he has a sister-in-law and attempted murder.
