The shackles that had trapped Zhou He for more than ten years disappeared at this moment.

Zhou He widened his eyes and looked at the broken collar on the ground in disbelief, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, his eyes still fixed on the collar, unwilling to look away for a long time.

"Now you're free."

"I... am free?" Zhou He muttered to himself, still unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

"Yeah." Xie Qi nodded briefly and affirmatively to confirm.

Until this moment, when Zhou He heard Xie Qi's clear answer, the big stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He realized that he and his father had finally escaped from Zhou Chengde's clutches and were no longer under any threat or control. He was able to realize this wish all because of Xie Qi.

Thinking of this, Zhou He could no longer suppress his inner emotions. He slowly bent down, resting his forehead tightly on his knees, his body trembling slightly.

At the same time, a low, suppressed sob came out of his mouth: "Thank you... Thank you..."

At this time, Xie Qi said again: "Don't thank me yet. Although you are free, I hope you can tie me up and take me back to see Zhou Chengde. I want to know where Zhou Chengde's laboratory is."

Zhou He raised his head and replied, "But you will be in danger if you do this."

"I will discuss the plan with my brother and tell you when we're done."

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you."

"This is for you. It's exactly the same as your collar. Wear this ornament first. I'll call you when it's ready. You can go back first."

"good."

Zhou He was still restless when he stood up. He walked to the door in a daze, but just as he touched the door handle, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Qi.

Xie Qi: "Anything else?"

Zhou He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can I ask a question? Did you deliberately hold the pendant for me to see?"

Xie Qi didn't expect Zhou He to be so clever when he heard this, but he still denied it outright: "I'm not that capable of finding out everything. I only found out about your relationship with Zhou Chengde. I didn't expect the matter with Wen An to be such a coincidence. As for the pendant, I just thought it looked pretty... so I took it for fun."

Zhou He: "Okay, I understand. Thank you anyway. But I can't give you the pendant. If you really like it, I'll carve another one for you later."

Xie Qi: "Ah? Oh, okay, thank you."

Xie Qi looked at Zhou He who pushed open the door and walked out, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he stood up from the sofa and walked into the bedroom. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he also left the dormitory building.
