When Zhou Chen heard what others said, his face darkened and his eyes showed some understanding.

No wonder, no wonder the little girl insisted on doing it even though she knew it would cost her life, because she had no other choice.

There are so many sufferings in the world that even if he wanted to take care of them, he couldn't. He could only do his best to help His Majesty govern the country and reduce the number of such things.

Zhou Chen raised his foot and walked over there. The guards nearby dispersed after seeing Zhou Chen.

The young man's face suddenly changed. He looked at Zhou Chen nervously, mustered up his courage and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Zhou Chen raised his hand and pressed it down: "Don't be nervous, relax a little."

The young man didn't dare to relax. He stretched out an arm to block his mother, with a vigilant face: "I tell you, we are honest people and have never done anything illegal. Even if you want to do something to us, you can't do it without reason, right? If you dare to do anything wrong, I will report it to the police. I don't believe that there is no law in this world."

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who I am?"

The young man pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "The official you reported to can't control me. The one who can control me is the one sitting on the dragon throne in the palace."

The young man's pupils shrank and he looked at Zhou Chen with a pale face.

After a while, the young man gritted his teeth and said, "We haven't done anything wrong. Even if you are powerful, you can't do anything to us, right?"

"Or, in the eyes of you high-ranking people, the lives of ordinary people like us are like ants, and you can trample us to death whenever you want?"

The boy became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his eyes turning slightly red.

In a short period of time, all the books he had read before seemed to become a joke. He thought that people like them, no matter how many books they read, were nothing more than toys that could be crushed to death at will in the eyes of these truly powerful people.

The boy felt somewhat disheartened, yet unwilling to give in.

Zhou Chen stared at the boy for a while, and suddenly said, "You really didn't do anything. Are you really that innocent?"

The boy was stunned, then his eyes widened: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhou Chen asked, "Where did you get that large amount of banknotes on you? Do you really have a clear conscience about taking this money?"

The young man was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He almost jumped up, not even his old mother could hold him up. He shouted at Zhou Chen, "Yes, I have a large sum of money on me. I feel guilty about taking it... But this is the money my sister paid for with her life. Why can't I take it? What law have I broken by taking this money?"

"My mother and I are her only relatives in this world. Why can't we take this money?"

The young man yelled, but he shed tears first: "I know that I am useless. I can't make any money and can't help my family. I can't even afford medicine for my mother's illness... But, but I have tried my best, but it's useless for me to try..."

The young man was overwhelmed with grief. He squatted down with his hands covering his face, and his emotions completely broke down.

The nearly blind old mother also began to lower her head and wipe her tears. She took a few steps forward to stand in front of her son and whispered, "What have we done wrong? Is it worth the adults making such a big fuss?"

"If anything really happens, I will take full responsibility. Please let my young son go for now. He is still a child and doesn't understand anything."
