The man was originally a servant of the Zhou family. He had not received any training and could not withstand Zhou Chen's intimidation. He confessed everything he had done on the spot.

"I don't know any sister. I was ordered by my master to take the money and send the mother and son out of the capital. The farther the better. The most important thing is that they can't be found by others." The man lowered his head and spoke intermittently, "The night before yesterday... my master was worried and was afraid that they would be found, so he asked me to take people... to eliminate the roots."

After saying that, he looked at the young man with a guilty look.

The young man's face was already very ugly at this time. When he heard this, he clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to rush over and smash him hard in the face, but he restrained himself.

Zhou Chen glanced at the boy, then slowly said: "Then do you know if his sister is still alive?"

"I was just following orders. I don't know his sister, nor do I know his family." The man kowtowed on the ground in fear and said quickly, "Master Zhou, I was just following orders. I have no choice. Please spare my life, Master Zhou!"

Zhou Chen already knew everything he wanted to know, and didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he had him dragged out.

In the yard, Zhou Chen looked up at the young man and said calmly, "How is it, do you know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy now?"

The young man gritted his teeth and managed to utter a sentence after a long while: "How can I be sure that you are not a bad person like them?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you want in exchange for believing me?"

The young man pursed his lips and uttered, "I want to see my sister."

"Unless I'm sure my sister is still alive, I won't believe you."

He trusted someone easily once, but was just told that his credulity almost cost him and his mother's life.

Therefore, he no longer dared to trust anyone easily.

Zhou Chen was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It makes sense."

The boy was a little excited: "So, you are willing to let me see my sister?"

"Your sister is in the Heavenly Prison. You can't see her whenever you want." Zhou Chen said lightly.

The expression on the boy's face dimmed instantly. When he was about to speak, Zhou Chen said again: "But it's still easy for me to take you in."

"Take your mother back and have a good rest. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to see your sister."

The young man looked at Zhou Chen steadily, and after a long while, he sighed: "Okay."

At this point, there was nothing he could do if he didn't agree. The Lord Zhou in front of him was obviously in a high position and powerful, and he couldn't resist him casually.

Zhou Chen did not treat the mother and son badly. He had someone clean up the room and take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. He made thoughtful and detailed arrangements in every aspect.

It doesn't feel like guarding prisoners, but more like entertaining guests.

But the young man didn't dare to believe it easily. The person who took them out of the capital before was also very kind to them. But in the end, he was just holding the sickle of the god of death, waiting for the opportunity to reap their lives.

The young man helped his mother into the room. The old woman couldn't help but say, "This Mr. Zhou doesn't look like a bad person. Maybe what he said is true. Your elder sister is still alive."

The young man lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. How can we judge good and bad so easily? Didn't he say that he would take me to see my sister tomorrow? When I see my sister tomorrow, everything will be clear."
