Chapter 207 207 Children are all debts

The woman had a blank expression on her face.

Seeing that the woman had no intention of speaking, Zhao Lexi turned to look at Gao Jue, who nodded at her.

She walked over to Zhou Pandi and sat down: "Do you know?"

Zhou Pandi shook her head.

"Did your mother ask you to go out with her?" Zhao Lexi asked. Zhou Pandi's clothes were not suitable for staying in this kind of weather for a long time. Zhou's mother was not a person who favored boys over girls. She would not take her daughter out if she was dressed like this.

Sure enough, Zhou Pandi shook her head: "Mom didn't let me follow her, but I saw her crying before she left, and I was worried, so I secretly followed her and followed her here."

"Where are your father and brother?"

"My brother's ability is very special. A woman came to find my father many times. At that time, my father and mother were always quarreling. In the end, my father took my brother away. My mother said that it was that woman who took them away! Later, my mother awakened her power and started looking for my father and brother, but she never found them. Before it snowed, the woman came to find my mother again. I don't know what they said, and she left after that."

The girl glanced at her mother secretly and found that her mother had her eyes closed and did not respond to her.

"After she left, my mother was always upset and cried secretly for several times. When the snow stopped, she asked me to wait for her at home and went out. I was worried, so I followed her." The girl felt guilty and her voice got smaller and smaller. "I'm sorry, my mother is not that kind of person. She must have had her reasons for doing this! But I'm still sorry!"

Zhou Pandi secretly looked at Xue Huan. She also remembered this sister. This sister was so beautiful. But she really didn't know why her mother wanted to hurt her.

Gao Jue asked: "Is that woman the one who took your father and brother away?"

The girl nodded.

"So your mother was forced by that woman to come and kill Xue Huan?"

Zhou Pandi's eyes widened: "It must be! We saw her alone before the snow! Our family has no grudge against Sister Xue Huan, there is no reason to kill her!"

"But if that woman cannot be found, the crime of murder will be pinned on your mother." Gao Jue asked Zhou Pandi while listening attentively to Zhou's mother's thoughts.

Zhou Pandi knew that murder was a capital crime whether it was committed before or after the disaster. She was so anxious that she almost cried, "No, my mother really didn't mean it! Mom, mom, please tell me who that woman is. If you tell me, you won't have to die! What will I do if you die?"

The woman opened her eyes, looked at her daughter calmly, and then closed them again.

Gao Jue smiled and said, "We can't help it. Although your mother attempted murder, she is also a murderer. If we hadn't reacted quickly, your mother would have succeeded! So we definitely can't take you in. And as the daughter of a murderer, even if the base provides you with food and drink, I'm afraid you won't have an easy life. It's common for you to be bullied. You can only wish for the best."

The woman suddenly looked over in panic, no longer as calm as she had just been. Gao Jue's words had obviously touched her sore spot.

She is not afraid of death, what she is afraid of is that her children will not live a good life.

That woman had indeed threatened her with her son. If she gave her up, her son would be in danger. But if she didn't tell him, now that the assassination had failed, that woman would definitely not take care of her daughter as agreed. What should her daughter do? She had heard that the people in the Gemini Mercenaries were very good, and that her daughter was alone and helpless, so they would not sit idly by, but now it seemed that they were not willing to do so!

Indeed, she almost succeeded, so how could she dare to expect kindness from others.

The change in the woman's expression showed that she was struggling internally.

"The only thing that can threaten your mother is your brother's life. Even your father's life may not work. But that woman worked so hard to get your brother, how could she hurt him and threaten your mother?"

The girl shook her head. She knew nothing. Her mother didn't let her hear these things.

Gao Jue shook his head: "Sure enough, your mother only has your brother in her heart and doesn't love you at all!"

Zhao Lexi wanted to say no, but Gao Jue glared at her, so she swallowed her words and burped.

The girl did not shake her head, but looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.

In the past, she would not believe this man's lies, because at home, she had the power to discipline her brother. Whenever her brother was disobedient, her mother would call her, and she would often beat the boy until he cried and screamed, but her mother did not feel sorry. But these few days, what happened made her uncertain.

The woman looked at her daughter's tears and felt even more distressed. She felt that her daughter was a person of flesh and blood, and any suffering from her daughter was like cutting out her heart. She could kill for her son, but she could not watch her daughter die.

Finally, the woman sighed and said, "Baoxuan's ability is indeed special. He is timid, and the ability he triggered is hiding, which makes it impossible for zombies and evolved humans to find him, so he can walk freely among the zombies."

This ability is similar to Wang Wei's, but Wang Wei's has a time limit, while this one doesn't seem to have one.

"However, this ability also has its drawbacks. When it is at level one, it can hide from ordinary zombies, but it will be discovered by level two zombies. But now that level two zombies are everywhere, his ability is a bit useless. The woman asked him to absorb energy crystals to upgrade, but after throwing thousands of energy crystals in, his ability did not change at all. In this case, Baoxuan is like a useless person, worthless. So, she came to threaten me. If I don't listen to her, she will send Baoxuan out to do a mission, the kind that will definitely kill him."

Now that the woman had spoken, she no longer concealed the truth. "She asked me to go to the Gemini Mercenary Group to kill a man named Xue Huan. She told me that I knew someone in the Gemini Mercenary Group, and that as long as I infiltrated the group, I could kill Xue Huan unexpectedly. I've seen Xue Huan before, so it's easy to recognize her. She also said that after I complete the mission, she will take my daughter away and raise her with Baoxuan."

"I thought, I did this, and I killed people in someone else's mercenary group. I will definitely not survive, but my daughter is safe, so it's not a loss. I also know that it's not reliable to entrust my son and daughter's lives to others, but what can I do? My son's life depends on her. Even if I don't agree, can she let me and my daughter go! From the moment she said this, I had no choice."

Everyone nodded. If she didn't agree, the woman would definitely kill her to silence her in order to prevent the news from leaking. She would die anyway, so it would be better to take a gamble that the woman would keep her promise.

The woman finished her words: "So I came. When the door opened, I saw that it was Xue Huan. I was really surprised. At that time, I thought, this is good. If I kill her, I can escape immediately and don’t have to die here. But I failed. You all know what happened next."
