Zhou Wenshu was no match for him and was badly beaten.
Lin Que wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked down at Zhou Wenshu, who was curled up on the ground. "Why didn't you stay in the mountains? Why did you have to run away?"
Zhou Wenshu swallowed the metallic taste in his throat. "I was blind to let Ling'er die with her eyes wide open. This time, I won't let you off the hook!"
Lin Que laughed, a very arrogant laugh.
