justice?

Lin Zhaojiang's eyes suddenly turned as sharp as a hawk's as he glared at her fiercely. "Your so-called justice means you don't dare to openly confront your adoptive parents, you don't dare to confront your younger siblings, you don't dare to confront me, but you dare to lay a hand on Wanwan!"

"Your target for revenge is not those stronger than you, but the weak!"

Lin Zhaojiang never hit women, but this time he couldn't take it anymore.

He knew that what Lin Na mentioned was just a trigger. Over the years, the Lin family had indeed wronged her, failing to give her enough care and love, while he himself, managing the entire group, had no time to attend to such trivial matters.

Ke Linna blamed all of these things on Song Wan.

She dared not retaliate against her fourth uncle and aunt because she still had a sliver of hope for family ties, and she dared not retaliate against her younger siblings because if her younger siblings were unhappy, her adoptive parents would not let her go.

She could only look up to Lin Zhaojiang and dared not do anything else.

But when she saw Song Wan, who was even more humble than her, being pampered and doted on by Lin Zhaojiang, her years of resentment erupted like a volcano, and her jealousy, like scalding lava, burned away her reason.

"Why?" Lin Na looked at Lin Zhaojiang without fear. "Why can she live so well, while I'm not even as good as her! Her family is even more unfortunate. She has a vampire-like mother and brother, a scoundrel brother-in-law and a cowardly sister. The whole family depends on her alone! She's already like this, why should she live better than me? Why!"

"You're absolutely unreasonable!"

Lin Zhaojiang stood up angrily, his iron-like hand gripping her neck tightly! The veins on his forehead bulged, and his eyes were filled with nothing but hatred for tearing her to pieces!

However, he couldn't actually kill her.

Just then, Lin Na laughed. "Kill...ah!" she said haltingly, "If you have the guts...then strangle me!"

Do you think I wouldn't dare?

"You...you can't!" Lin Na couldn't breathe. Her survival instinct made her grip Lin Zhaojiang's wrists tightly with both hands, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Big brother, you wouldn't... You killed someone, you'll have to pay with your life... Ha, if you go to jail, Song Wan will... suffer out there! Can you bear to see that? Hahaha..."

Lin Zhaojiang exerted force with his fingertips, but couldn't actually make a move. He felt as if he had walked into a dead end, unable to move forward or backward.

Just then, the door was suddenly opened.

Lin Zhaojiang was startled and turned to see Song Wan standing in the doorway. She was trembling all over, almost unable to stand, and her face was deathly pale.

Only those eyes revealed unparalleled strength.

Lin Zhaojiang abruptly released his grip and then looked at the bodyguards. Several bodyguards tried to stop Song Wan, but Song Wan swiftly drew a gun from one of them and quickly stepped forward, pressing it against Lin Na's head!

"Wanwan!" Lin Zhaojiang was shocked.

Song Wan's hands were trembling, and large tears fell down her cheeks.

"Wanwan, no..."

Lin Zhaojiang ran up behind her and hugged her tightly. In his panic, he touched Song Wan's hand, which was colder than ice.

"I want to kill her," Song Wan said, her voice trembling.

"I know……"

Song Wan became hysterical, struggling frantically, shouting, "I want to kill her with my own hands—"

"Wanwan!" Lin Zhaojiang grabbed her hand tightly, preventing her from pulling the trigger.

The entire room was filled with Song Wan's screams and cries.

He seemed to have returned to that time—the days and nights when Song Wan was covered in wounds and delirious.

His heart was breaking.

"Wanwan, calm down..." Lin Zhaojiang kissed her hair to calm her down, and whispered in her ear, "Your hands are clean, it's not worth it for someone like him!"

Song Wan's hand loosened, and the gun fell to the ground. As if all her strength had been drained, she collapsed into Lin Zhaojiang's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry." Lin Na, who had fallen to the ground, struggled to her feet and softly uttered these three words.

When Song Wan met her gaze, Lin Na's eyes were cold and devoid of any remorse. The words "I'm sorry" had become a colossal joke.

“No matter what you think, I sincerely want to apologize to you.” Linna’s smile was pale. “Your life has indeed been ruined by me. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”

"But... was I the one who truly ruined your life?"

Song Wan froze, her heart suddenly tightened, and a feeling of suffocation came from the bottom of her heart.

The police arrived with a lawyer and took Linna away.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm.

Lin Zhaojiang carefully held Song Wan in his arms, preparing to leave the room. He turned back to look at the lawyer and said in a deep voice, "You know what to do, right?"

The lawyer nodded: "Mr. Lin, I will only follow the normal legal procedures that a lawyer should follow, and I will not concern myself with anything else!"

Lin Zhaojiang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't want to see Lin Na again. Zhonglin Group... shouldn't have such a parasite."

"I see!"

The lawyer had followed Lin Zhaojiang for many years and was one of his confidants. Sometimes, he only needed a glance to understand what to do.

Lin Zhaojiang felt very reassured handing the case over to him.

What worried him at that moment was Song Wan.

She looked very weak, and even with Lin Zhaojiang supporting her, she still dragged her feet and staggered as she walked.

Lin Zhaojiang simply picked her up and carried her in his arms.

Song Wan struggled for a moment and then gave up resisting, letting him hold her and letting her tears stream down her face.

She closed her eyes wearily and leaned against him.

His chest was still warm to her familiar touch, and his heartbeat was still strong and powerful.

Song Wan felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She gripped his collar tightly and after a long while, she softly called out, "Zhao Jiang..."

“Yes, I’m here,” Lin Zhaojiang whispered in her ear.

"I want to go home."

"Okay, I'll take you home." Lin Zhaojiang helped her into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and then took off his coat and covered her with it.

He drove steadily the whole way, and Song Wan leaned back in her seat, gradually becoming drowsy. She seemed to be having a very long dream, in which she returned to the time when she first met him.

He asked her then, "Would you like to be with me from now on?"

Song Wan's heart was pounding.

In her dream, she was fully conscious. She saw her future, Lin Zhaojiang's ruthlessness, and all the unpleasant endings. She wanted to refuse, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.

Lin Zhaojiang looked at her and asked, "Would you like to follow me from now on?"

She saw many sweet scenes again, saw Lin Zhaojiang's doting on her, saw how he spoiled her so much that she had the whole world.

She opened her mouth, but the answer was already in her heart. No matter what they went through, her love for him would remain unchanged.

"Are you willing or not?"

"I……"

"I do." Inside the car, Song Wan's eyes were closed, her brow furrowed, and she shifted uneasily. "I do..."

"Wanwan?" Lin Zhaojiang wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Wanwan, what's wrong?"
