Chapter 16: Separation (3), Section 58

  Guo Ding looked at him with a mixture of pity and annoyance, shaking his head: "You can't go out yet!"

  Zhou Jin was shocked, and even Zhou Jinping didn't expect such a result. Suddenly, he had an epiphany - his father no longer wanted him, all the family property would be his, and he couldn't help but feel happy. As the saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise."

  Zhou Jinzhong how can believe Guo Ding's words, roared: "Impossible, how is it possible, my brother can go out, why can't I? Let me out! Let me out!"

  Guo Ding sighed, and what he was about to say was absolutely not his intention, but rather an order from Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie. Guo Ding turned around, led Zhou Jinping out, and said with a sigh: "Your father spent one million dollars to ransom your brother!" After finishing speaking, he didn't look back and left in big strides.

  What he said was not wrong, but it was a selective interpretation. Zhou Jin's face turned pale in an instant, he didn't believe it, and shook the prison door violently with both hands, shouting: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Let me out, let me out!" His voice went from loud to hoarse, and finally became a sob that couldn't be heard. The end of the cell was already invisible, and the fact was right in front of him, making it impossible for him not to believe.

  He suddenly felt that he had never been so clear-headed before. His father had always disliked him, hated him, and beaten him. His younger brother would shift the blame onto him every time he made a mistake, slandering him and framing him. He suddenly realized that in his twenty years with the Zhou family, he hadn't had a single good day. He thought of his mother, who wouldn't have died from resentment if his father hadn't been out womanizing all the time. Now, he was abandoned in this hellish prison cell, with no one to care whether he lived or died. He hated it, hated the world for being so unfair to him. He hated Zhou Tianhai and Zhou Jinping, hated the entire Zhou family. For a moment, he felt his blood boiling over, and he fell to the ground, rigid with rage.

  It wasn't long before he vaguely saw a rat stealing the bowl of rotten food in front of him, which originally belonged to him. Now a beast was openly sharing it with him. His eyes suddenly turned crimson, and he gnashed his teeth: "A beast dares to cheat me!" He didn't know where the strength came from, but he suddenly sprang up and pounced on the rat.

  Liu Xie arrived at the Tingwei Yamen in the afternoon of the second day, and Li Chen had already informed Guo Ding, so Guo Ding had been waiting here all along, without even going to eat lunch, for fear of missing the current emperor.
