Chapter: 5984

Bruce Weston replied respectfully: 'It will be 60 meters deep in total.'"

Bruce Weston asked curiously: "How did they secretly dig out this deep elevator shaft?"

Bruce Weston explained: "Although the Brooklyn prison appears to be a federal prison on the surface, in fact, it has been controlled by the Rockefeller family for a long time. A few years ago, the Rockefeller family donated a large sum of money to the prison to renovate, and most of that money was used to build this elevator shaft and underground tunnel."

As he spoke, he paused slightly and added: "Although there is only one regular entrance, there is actually another single-entry exit that can be opened from the outside.

Ye Chen asked in doubt: "Why did the Rockefeller family invest so much effort in building a secret passageway at Brooklyn prison? Is it just to detain special prisoners?"

Bruce Weston spoke truthfully: "Like Gustavo Sánchez, he was imprisoned here due to a deep cooperation agreement with the Rockefeller family. The Rockefeller family's people would ensure they had absolute control, and if there were special circumstances or force majeure, the Rockefeller family could use this secret passageway to hide someone away or quietly transfer them to another location, then claim that the prisoner had escaped or been sentenced to life imprisonment by an American court, only to have the Rockefeller family and the prisoner agree to release the prisoner afterwards. This has happened several times before with a 100% success rate."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and asked: "So, Gustavo was a big-time criminal who had done many bad things. As long as he was beneficial to the Rockefeller family, they would quietly send him back to Mexico?"

"That's right," Bruce Weston nodded, saying: "They only care about their interests, not justice."

Ye Chen smiled disdainfully and said calmly: "As expected of these capitalists, who pursue their own interests above all else."

At this moment, the elevator came to a stop at the bottom.

At the end of the tunnel, there was still an iron gate, and on both sides of the tunnel were two rooms. One room had no door, with a simple sofa and small table inside, while the other room was sealed off by a solid iron gate.

Bruce Weston pointed to that room sealed off by the iron gate and said to Ye Chen: "Peter Zhou is in there."

Ye Chen spoke coldly: "Let's open the door!"

Bruce Weston hurriedly walked up front and input a string of password on the main gate, followed by the sound of the iron gate opening outward. Ye Chen took a few quick steps forward and pushed Bruce Weston aside with force to open the iron gate.

At this moment, the scene inside the room stunned Ye Chen in silence.

This room was approximately 20 square meters, while the exterior space of about 6-7 square meters had no furniture or items. Inside, there was only a toilet and a water faucet that kept flowing small amounts of water. At this time, the man sitting on the toilet with a full beard and disheveled hair covering half his face.

His neck was fitted with a sturdy metal collar, followed by a chain about the thickness of a thumb, which ensured he could not move to the outside empty space and was limited to staying inside one side.

The entire room had no place to sit or lie down. The floor was damp, cold, and gloomy, without even a patch of grass mat. Let alone a bed, the miserable environment forced the man to sit uncomfortably on the toilet trying to fall asleep.

At this moment, the man heard some noise, raised his head in despair, and when he locked eyes with Ye Chen's, his entire body suddenly shook like being struck by lightning.

Ye Chen gazed at the man's weathered face and recognized him as Peter Zhou, the manager who used to work at the Jiyue Building.

In this instant, Ye Chen's heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

He quickly stepped forward, holding Peter Zhou's hands tightly with both of his, and whispered softly: "Peter... sir... Uncle Peter, are you alright? I'll take you away from here!"

Peter Zhou suddenly had tears flowing down his face, looking at Ye Chen and choking back a sob: "Young master... you... you already know everything?"

Ye Chen nodded: "I saw the photo of you and my father together. So, I came to America to find you and eventually found you here."

Peter Zhou looked ashamed, saying: "Young master, beforehand in Jinling, not only did I not reveal my true identity to you, but also framed your father-in-law and spoke ill of you. Please don't blame me for this..." JrNovels.com
