Before returning to the capital, Cao De had instructed Chen Wei to find these two men and see if Chen Fa had ascertained their backgrounds. If not, he would personally question them. If they didn't speak or if their answers were incomplete, they would be detained until Cao De returned.
After Chen Wei returned, he told no one about this, not even Chen Fa.
As for whether to bring them into the Internal Guard Bureau, he couldn't guess the Ancestral Master's intentions and had no authority to decide.
Seeing him silent, Lian Bao said directly, "I came here with no ill intentions. A few days ago, my uncle and I were tracking the master of the Guo family. My uncle was captured by the Guo family and tortured. Last night, I attempted to rescue him, but unfortunately, the Internal Guard Bureau raided the Guo family and took my uncle as well. You have met my uncle; he is the other person who was with me originally."
