The car stopped in front of the bookstore.

Zhou Ze got out.

Lawyer An followed behind him like a guilty little wife.

Boss Zhou was indeed a little angry.

Going to vent anger for his subordinate's wife,

No problem.

If the boss didn't help with even this, it wouldn't be right, and the hearts of those below would scatter.

But to vent anger for his subordinate's fantasized celebrity,

Did Zhou Ze have "I'm very free" written all over his face?

Well,

This question,

Doesn't need an answer.

"Boss, you're back?"

Yingying seemed to be watching a movie. Seeing Zhou Ze return, she took off her headphones.

"Boss, should I draw the bath?"

Generally speaking, their boss would take a bath every time he came back from outside.

"Not yet."

Zhou Ze waved his hand and walked straight to the vegetable garden next door; he had more important things to do now.

Lawyer An knew what his boss was going to do and immediately followed.

Pushing open the door of the vegetable garden, Zhou Ze saw a dozen or so wooden puppets hoeing and fertilizing in a small square plot.

Buckets, shovels, and other implements were waving back and forth, a chaotic mess,

And even more, manure was waving and splashing...

Hei Xiaoniu squatted beside them, looking incredibly depressed. For someone extremely loyal to the land, watching a group of people messing around haphazardly in her vegetable garden gave her the feeling of her husband being taken advantage of by many women.

Desecration,

Desecration!

But she didn't dare say anything. Although Zhou Ze had just unlocked her shackles and seals, she didn't really regard herself as the owner of the bookstore.

Since Xu Niangniang wanted to practice puppetry here, she couldn't possibly object.

As soon as Zhou Ze pushed the door open and came in,

A flying shovel came crashing towards his head.

Boss Zhou reacted quickly, dodging to the side.

"Bang!"

"Hiss…………"

Lawyer An behind him didn't have time to react and was hit on the head, immediately squatting down in pain.

The wooden puppets in the vegetable garden all stopped,

As if playing:

One, two, three, freeze!

"Damn, even after coming home, I have to worry about sneak attacks."

Lawyer An shouted unhappily, then stood up while rubbing his forehead. Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, just a bruise.

"You're back."

Xu Qinglang greeted him, while moving his fingers.

Geng Chen was still tied to the *Bawang Hua* (lit. Tyrant Flower), with a bloody gash on his chest, where Xu Qinglang must have put something to keep him weakened.

He didn't look angry, either; well, he could understand.

That's the good thing about gentlemen; they can always put themselves in other people's shoes.

This made Boss Zhou feel even more guilty about imprisoning him!

Such a good person, such an upright official, how could he treat him like this!

"Hungry?" Xu Qinglang asked.

"Hungry."

"Then I'll make some…………"

As he spoke, Xu Qinglang smiled, full of charm at that moment.

It could be seen that Lao Xu was in a good mood today; he really liked this puppetry, and with Geng Chen teaching him, he was really happy.

"Alright."

Xu Qinglang looked at Zhou Ze, then at Geng Chen, said nothing, and nodded to go make noodles.

Hei Xiaoniu immediately moved a stool and placed it in front of Zhou Ze.

"Boss, please sit."

This obsequiousness,

Like a daughter-in-law meeting her father-in-law.

Zhou Ze glanced around and found the dead soldier hanging from the ceiling, his body wrapped in vines.

"Before, he was absorbing the nutrients of Mother Earth; now, he's absorbing the essence of the sun and moon?"

"No, no, he's been soaked in the soil for too long; letting him out to get some air," Hei Xiaoniu explained.

"Okay, you two just like playing high-difficulty moves."

Zhou Ze sat down on the stool,

Then looked up,

At the *Bawang Hua*,

But the stool was too short and the *Bawang Hua* too high; sitting and looking up at Geng Chen's neck was very uncomfortable.

Hei Xiaoniu immediately made a gesture to the man hanging above her on her back,

While cursing in her heart:

This oblivious guy!

Lawyer An next to her noticed the small gesture and smiled slightly. This feeling was like children rushing to their parents' bedside to show filial piety before their death in order to compete for the inheritance.

The *Bawang Hua* began to lower,

Its branches bending,

As if kneeling down to Zhou Ze,

And Geng Chen was placed in front of Zhou Ze.

"Did you just go out?"

Geng Chen asked, looking at Lawyer An.

He was more familiar with Lawyer An,

Or rather,

He was a little wary of Zhou Ze.

The scene of him forcefully taking out the *haozhi* (mythical beast) source from his body and swallowing it in front of him was too shocking.

"Yeah, went out for a walk," Lawyer An didn't plan to talk about the fight with the Enforcement Team.

"I thought you went to make trouble for the Enforcement Team."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ze's heart stirred,

Oh,

It seems you know how intensely Lawyer An used to chase stars? Comparable to Hongqiao's Number One Fan.

"Hehe."

Lawyer An chuckled twice,

It was his boss who was going to talk, so he was too lazy to say more.

"Geng Chen."

Boss Zhou greeted him warmly.

Geng Chen suddenly had the feeling of being stared at by a fierce beast; his small infant body even shivered.

The preconceived impression was too strong,

It wasn't really that he was unbearable,

But in this world,

Even those ancient existences,

Like the mythical beast *Xiezhi* (mythical unicorn that can distinguish between good and evil),

Its clone, when facing the awakened Ying Gou (a zombie god), especially after calling out "Wangcai" (Lucky),

Was immediately frightened into a quail.

"Speak… What is it?"

Geng Chen thought they were going to ask him something.

"I was outside just now, walked for a long time, and thought for a long time, and then I found that I still feel a bit unable to get past my conscience."

"…………" Geng Chen.

A fierce beast,

Comes up to you,

And starts with sentimentalism…

This feeling is like an ordinary person facing a heinous kidnapper who is talking to you about his life journey.

"So, what do you want?"

"I've always been kind to others."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Lawyer An nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"I've always admired good people, upright people, because I myself can't do it, and I know it's really, really hard to do it."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes," An, the rice-pecking chick.

"So, I plan to let you go."

Geng Chen's eyes immediately narrowed.

"But there's a prerequisite; you have to promise me that you won't reveal anything you see and hear here to anyone else."

"I…………"

Before Geng Chen could speak,

Lawyer An immediately said:

"You came up this time thinking about solving the *haozhi* matter; we can provide assistance.

Actually, you don't have any losses, and the two *haozhi* sources have also been removed for you, although it may affect your search for other defectors, but you should have other methods, right?"

"Why?" Geng Chen asked, puzzled.

"Because I want to turn over a new leaf; I was dismissed from the Underworld, and I have deeply reflected on my past mistakes in work and life. I plan to start over, be a good person, and continue to make my own contributions to the stable and harmonious development of Hell."

Geng Chen shook his head; he didn't believe it.

"Now, there are only two paths; one, you continue to be imprisoned here by us; this imprisonment period is indefinite.

The other path is that you can leave now, but I want you to swear that you won't tell anyone about what goes on here."

Lawyer An added:

"Swear in the name of your deceased wife and son; you have already failed them once; don't fail them a second time."

Zhou Ze's teeth ached; he thought Lawyer An was a bit too ruthless, too ruthless!

Making himself stand on the same side as him, he felt blackened into a big villain.

But Lawyer An's statement was undoubtedly the most reliable; in fact, it was just bullying you for being a gentleman, for being a good person.

"What exactly happened…"

Geng Chen was obviously not stupid.

This sudden warmth was too bizarre.

"Every minute you stay here, the *haozhi* source on the scattered defectors outside becomes more dangerous, and the danger to ordinary people increases by one point," Zhou Ze said.

"Okay, I promise you; I can swear as you require; I can pretend I've never seen you, never had contact with you, and won't tell anyone about you.

But,

You also have to agree to one condition for me."

"Speak," Zhou Ze raised his hand.

Geng Chen's gaze fell on Lawyer An,

Lawyer An immediately shivered; an ominous feeling washed over him.

"I want him to go with me this time, until all the *haozhi* sources are cleaned up; he must be by my side, working with me!"

"I refuse!" Lawyer An.

"I agree," Zhou Ze.

"…………" Lawyer An.
