Zhou Chen walked out of the palace and saw a young man standing next to his carriage, staring blankly at the palace gate.

When the young man saw Zhou Chen, he immediately jumped up and walked in front of Zhou Chen in a few steps: "How about it, can I go see my sister?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him, then said, "Let's go."

The young man was stunned, as if he was a little dazed. He didn't expect things to be so simple and he could really see his sister.

Following Zhou Chen into the palace, the young man felt a little uneasy along the way, with worry in his eyes.

Zhou Chen walked in front of him and said calmly, "Don't look around when you enter the palace. You might offend some important person."

The young man quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look around anymore.

Zhou Chen glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then said, "When you see your sister later, you know what to say, right?"

The boy glanced at Zhou Chen's back and asked, "What do you want me to say?"

"Just tell your sister everything you've been through," Zhou Chen said, "You have to let her know that the person she served did not treat you well as agreed, and even wanted your lives. It's not worth it for her to work for that person anymore. Only if she confesses the truth can the person behind this be brought to justice, and your family can be safe."

The young man pursed his lips and said softly: "Well... my sister said, will she be in danger?"

"She is in the prison now, no one can touch her," Zhou Chen said in a deep voice, "I promise you, as long as she confesses the truth, I will ensure her life is safe."

The young man stopped talking and followed Zhou Chen silently into the sky prison.

The prison was dark with torches lit inside. Perhaps due to nervousness or the heat, beads of sweat appeared on the boy's forehead and his palms were wet.

Zhou Chen led him down through many twists and turns and came to a cell at the innermost part.

Zhou Chen knocked on the iron railing and shouted, "Someone is here to see you."

Then, there was a rustling sound in the room, and then a woman came out from the corner.

The woman was wearing a white prison uniform, her long hair was loose, and she had chains on her hands. When she walked out, her feet made a jingling sound. When she looked down, she found that she was still wearing anklets.

As soon as the young man saw this person, he rushed to the railing and stared at the woman with his eyes.

The woman came closer, slowly raised her head, lifted her hair on both sides, and looked at Zhou Chen: "Master Zhou, what do you want to ask? I said, I don't know anything, no matter how many times you ask, I don't know."

Zhou Chen pointed at the young man beside him and said, "I'm not going to ask you today. I'm just bringing someone to see you."

"After you meet him, decide whether or not to say anything."

The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young man standing next to her.

The young man quickly raised his head and made eye contact with the girl, his eyes already turning red uncontrollably.

But after the woman looked at him for a while, a little puzzled appeared on her face: "Who is he?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

The young man couldn't hold back his tears, and choked up as he called out to the woman, "Sister."

The woman froze and stared at the boy with wide eyes.

The young man's voice trembled as he whispered, "Sister, don't you recognize me?"

The woman took a few steps forward anxiously, stared at the boy intently for a few seconds, and then tentatively called out: "Hao'er?"
