Chapter 91: Selling Son (Ch 91)

After Zhou Ke got the eyeball, he ignored Ye Ding’s whimpering look and stuffed it back into the wine cabinet.

Now, all preparations for escape are complete.

Zhou Ke walked out of the meeting room quietly.

?

At this moment, Uncle Wang stood quietly in front of a large juicer, staring at the naked body inside without blinking.

The naked body was that of a little boy, soaking in the juicer without moving.

Suddenly, the blades at the bottom of the juicer started to spin rapidly!

Swish!!!

The little boy suddenly opened his eyes and rushed towards the old man!

The old man was startled and took two steps back in panic.

pound!

The little boy who was soaked in disinfectant woke up for some reason and threw himself on the glass inside the pitcher, knocking on it wildly.

But, the next second…

Sizzle, sizzle—

The blade turns.

The little boy, who was still alive, was chopped into red minced meat in the blink of an eye.

The disinfectant water instantly turned into red blood.

The old man’s hanging hand was clenched unconsciously.

His expression was also extremely serious.

But when he saw Zhou Ke coming out, he immediately returned to his cheerful old man image.

“Hey boy? Is it done? You got the method to unlock the iris? Then let’s go!”

After saying that, the old man didn’t dare to look at Zhou Ke, and just walked towards the elevator on his own.

“Wait.” Zhou Ke stood in place and called out softly towards the old man’s back.

The old man paused.

Zhou Ke opened his lips slightly:

“Sir…you…”

“Not an ordinary worker, right?”

The old man didn’t look back: “What are you talking about, young man? My identity is not important! Go away!”

Zhou Ke did not move.

“Master, if I’m not mistaken… Actually, you don’t care about money at all.”

Zhou Ke combined all the details he had observed about the old man and summarized his past:

“You work for the Ye family and have become the captain of the security team, the captain of the cleaning team, the captain of the electricians…”

“With so many jobs, I’m afraid you’re not working for those few salaries, right?”

Zhou Ke noticed that after hearing his words, the old man’s back seemed to tremble.

But the old man still said nothing.

Zhou Ke paused and continued his analysis:

“If my guess is correct…”

“You did all this for your son.”

“Let me guess… a long time ago, your son–“

“Either he disappeared, or he was captured by the Ye family.”

“You accompanied me to investigate the building and search for the safe, but it wasn’t for money at all.”

“Rather, investigate the truth behind your son’s death.”

“You thought I had some skills in sneaking into buildings, so you chose to cooperate with me.”

“You learned about Ye Ding’s dark business through me.”

“While I was stealing the diamonds alone, you were looking through all the information you could find.”

“Today, you finally learned how your son died:”

“It was minced into minced meat by these juicers, and then became an ordinary commodity for the nobles.”

“To avenge your son, that’s your purpose.”

Zhou Ke finished his analysis and then looked quietly at the old man’s back.

The old man stood there without moving, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few seconds later…

He moved his feet and slowly turned around…

Zhou Ke saw his expression.

It was a kind of sadness and vicissitudes that penetrated the heart.

And a sense of…guilt?

Zhou Ke frowned.

The old man spoke slowly, his tone becoming a little hoarse:

“Hey boy… I’ve been with you for a while and I found that you are really smart and know everything…”

“But there is one thing you are completely wrong about.”

The old man looked like he was about to cry:

“I… am not as powerful as you think. I… am really just a vulgar person who is greedy for money… but…”

“I can’t help it. There’s nothing I can do!”

“I don’t know whether you are a noble or a commoner, but you obviously don’t understand how difficult life is for the lowest class of commoners!”

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that this is a modern society with all kinds of high-tech flying around…but those are all things for noble gentlemen!”

“In their eyes, civilians are worse than animals!”

“The Dragon Kingdom a dozen years ago was not like it is now.”

“…We are so poor that we can’t even afford a bite to eat, we don’t even have a place to live, and the child’s mother ran away with someone else…”

“Just when I was in the most difficult time, Master Ye Ding came to me personally…”

“He said that if I sold my son to him, he would give me a lot of money and a job…”

“I had no choice! I was so hungry that I fainted. If there was no more food, I would eat my son…”

“This was the only life-saving straw for me at that time!”

At this point, the old man grinned bitterly:

“Young man, you are still young… You don’t know how difficult it was for civilians to survive in the Dragon Kingdom at that time.”

“You still thought… that the Ye family forced me to hand over my son?”

“Wrong!”

“I sold my son like an animal!”

“Don’t think I’m abnormal. At that time, there were so many people who wanted to sell children… but they just didn’t have the means…”

Zhou Ke didn’t say anything, but just listened quietly to the old man venting.

Finally, Zhou Ke asked:

“Didn’t you know what they were doing with your son?”

The old man slowly sat down on the cold ground:

“I don’t know. How could they tell me?”

“They just said that my son had some extraordinary talents…”

“At the time, I thought they were going to be used as child laborers…”

“Of course, after a few years, I still hadn’t heard from my son, and I had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.”

The old man raised his voice again, and said in a tearful tone:

“But how should I know? They want to take my son and squeeze out the gravy!”

“That’s my son! My only flesh and blood!”

“My relatives in my eyes are nothing but a pile of rotten meat to the nobles, the raw materials for selling drinks!!!”

“And, in return… just a few meals and a low-paying job…”

“In their eyes, the lives of civilians are worth less than those of animals.”

The old man covered his face and sat on the ground in pain.

Zhou Ke just stood there quietly.

He was not involved in the incident and could not empathize with the old man.

He didn’t know what to say, so he just said nothing.

Zhou Ke tried his best to empathize.

It’s probably like this: the person you cherish most and value the most is just an animal in the eyes of others.

Moreover, they were actually sold like animals.

Zhou Ke sighed and was about to say something to comfort the old man…

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the elevator display screen in the distance.

62……

63……

64……

Someone is taking the elevator to this floor.
