Li Zhanfeng seemed not to hear the Gu family's pleas for mercy at all. His cold, sharp eyes held a chilling and cruel smile, and his voice was like that of a ruthless judge who controlled life and death. He chuckled, "They just tried to hurt you."

"So, do you want to break their arms? Or their legs? Or... kill them?"

Gu Zhenting and the others were almost scared out of their wits. Wait, did they hear that right?

What did Li Zhanfeng just say?!

"Master Feng, please spare us! We know we were wrong, Master Feng! But Master Feng, we were really just joking with Wanrou! Wanrou is our precious darling, how could we possibly bear to lay a hand on her? We just wanted to scare her and make her obediently marry you..."

"Wanrou, please, we are your parents. How can you rest in peace if we die?"

"Have you forgotten? We raised you with great difficulty. We gave birth to you, raised you, and gave you a life of luxury. You can't take our lives just because your parents made a mistake this time!"

Gu Wanrou completely ignored their pitiful pleas for mercy and cries.

Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, gazed at Li Zhanfeng with indifferent detachment. The gentleness of her former gaze had faded, replaced by a chilling coldness and aloofness.

“My relationship with them was completely severed the moment they decided to kick me out of the capital, so whether they live or die has nothing to do with me.”

"But if you want to kill them because I took action, you don't need to."

Putting aside her hidden identity, she was just an ordinary person, and she couldn't do anything illegal or disorderly.

Besides, if she is investigated, what will happen to her Nuannuan?

Li Zhanfeng frowned, a hint of displeasure in his expression.

Does she really hate him that much? He tried to help her, but she rejected him?

Li Zhanfeng felt as if a fire was burning in his chest. His deep eyes were fixed on Gu Wanrou, as if he wanted to see right through her.

"Gu Wanrou, do you really hate me that much?"

Okay, you can hate him, but he's helping her!

How much did she hate him that she would refuse even such humble help from him?

Gu Zhenting and his family were deeply moved. Their Wanrou was so kind; she knew to plead for them.

They knew that their Wanrou was kind-hearted, gentle, and kind, and would never abandon them...

But to everyone's surprise, a charming smile appeared in Gu Wanrou's gentle eyes:

"Of course, if it's not because of me that you're taking their lives, then please do as you please."

"Because I don't want to get involved in any deaths."
