The man did not respond to Zhai Jiu's words, but stared blankly at the distant window. His eyes were dark and without a trace of emotion.

He didn't reply, and Zhai Jiu didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he leisurely played with the chess piece in his hand and said calmly, "The method you used on me was really not very clever."

Almost in an instant, he looked up, and ripples instantly appeared in his eyes, as if the calm sea surface was suddenly filled with waves.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile, "Then you have also been deceived for twenty years."

"I'm very confused..." The man turned to Zhai Jiu and fiddled with the things at hand without making eye contact with Zhai Jiu. "For twenty years, why did you do nothing?"

"Obviously, you hate him too, don't you?"

"You're targeting the wrong person..."

The man's hand paused slightly, and he slowly raised his eyes to look into Zhai Jiu's eyes.

He stroked the jade-like chess piece and smiled again: "What do you mean?"

Zhai Jiu looked at him.

The man in front of me had a smile on his face, but his eyes were deep, like a wild wolf lurking in the shadows. He seemed careless, but could bite off the throat of his prey in an instant.

"You should go and provoke Mu Lianshen. Although I hate him, he has not changed. I will not attack him."

"If he abandons our relationship first, then I will fight back as you wish."

Zhai Jiu smiled and said, "And...hit the target with one strike."

The man raised his hand and held the black piece, placing it on the chessboard.

Zhai Jiu glanced at the chessboard and placed the white piece in his hand. "If he doesn't give up, I won't betray..."

"Timeless..."

The man laughed even more wantonly: "I didn't expect that I was wrong. Are you considered a gentleman?"

Zhai Jiu chuckled upon hearing this, "I'm not a gentleman, I just don't want to lose to him, and this is the same."

“I see…” The man lowered his eyes to look at the chessboard. The situation was tense again and it was hard to tell who would win.

"But Mu Lianshen is not someone who can sow discord, so you might as well just say directly that the relationship between you two will not change."

Zhai Jiu asked: "You know us very well..."

"Someone really knows you guys well,"

"who..."

The man suddenly spoke and said a name: "Huo Tianwen..."

Zhai Jiu held the chess piece tightly, "No wonder."

Huo Tianwen, the second daughter of the Huo family, was once a well-known intelligent woman in Beijing.

Moreover, we were classmates for a period of time, so it’s not surprising that I know them well.

The man looked at Zhai Jiu, "Remember her?"

"Remember,"

The man's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes trembled: "That's good..."

"I know all the members of the Huo family, but I have never seen you. Your face is at least 50% similar to Huo Tianlin, the head of the Huo family, but your age... is only a few years younger than me, so you are not a grandson of the Huo family."

Zhai Jiu didn't speak quickly, but every word contained a hidden frank and cold temptation. He asked: "Who are you?"

The man stood up, took a step forward, and leaned down to look into Zhai Jiu's eyes.

"Who am I?" The man laughed, as if he was laughing at what he said.

"Didn't you guess it..."

Zhai Jiu laughed helplessly, "I didn't expect that the Huo family would have someone like you..."

"Someone like me?"

Zhai Jiu looked him straight in the eye and said, "The same person as your elder brother..."

This person looks so much like Huo Tianlin.

The viciousness is no less than that of others.

“Why don’t you finish?” the man smiled slightly, his voice was extremely calm, like ten thousand years of solid ice, no one knew the terrifying madness hidden underneath.

"I can tolerate words like heinous, beastly, cruel, and ruthless."

Zhai Jiu questioned him word by word, "Were you responsible for all those things that happened in the inland area?"

"yes..."

Zhai Jiu tapped the tabletop with his fingers, his voice as sharp as a knife: "Kidnapping, stealing the country, murder, assassination in Beijing, it was all you?"

"It's all my fault..."

"Really?" Zhai Jiu laughed, his eyes full of sarcasm: "As expected, you are a member of the Huo family, from the same lineage..."

The man narrowed his eyes, his narrow eyes full of threats, "You say that, aren't you afraid of angering me? You know, this... is my territory, I can kill you easily."

The last three words were spoken with great anger.

Zhai Jiu lowered his eyes and calmly threw the chess piece aside. "You can't,"

"If you really want to kill me, you have plenty of opportunities. Haven't your people been watching me for several days..."

The man looked at him and smiled. "You're right. I really won't do anything to you now."

Zhai Jiu raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

This question is not about why we won't touch him for the time being.

Instead, ask why he did those evil things.

Of course the man knew what he was asking.

The smile on his face froze and he remained silent for a long time.

Why?

He thought of the humiliations he had suffered at the banker's.

Thinking of everything his sister had gone through.

His sister Huo Tianwen.

She is smart, beautiful, and a very energetic person in Beijing, but she has isolated herself in the small dark room of the banker.

Who could have imagined what happened to her?

He may not care about other people, but she and her younger brother are the only two people in the Huo family he cares about.

But now it's gone...

He watched blood flow from the corner of Huo Tianwen's mouth.

Biting tongue to commit suicide...

She is such a strong person, if she hadn't been completely broken, how could she be so determined...

Every time he closes his eyes now, he can still dream of the look in her eyes at that time.
