Mu Nanxun's eyes darkened. "Do you know what he's done? He's tried to kill my family members several times, and he's involved in murder cases. We finally managed to expose him, and letting him go would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Who can guarantee he won't come back for revenge..."
“I said let him go.” Mu Wenya repeated firmly, “Consider what happened before as a debt our Mu family owes him. And didn’t you say that there’s no evidence that he’s involved in the previous murder? Since that’s the case, there’s no reason to detain him. If he really did those things, he won’t escape the long arm of the law.”
"Wenya..." The old man, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth, hesitated, and his heartache was evident. His daughter, whom he had cherished since childhood, had been deceived by a man to this extent. He felt like killing that man! But he couldn't bear to see his daughter shed tears for that man.
“Dad,” Mu Wenya looked at him with tears in her eyes, weakly forcing a bitter smile, “Let me be willful this once. Let him go, as compensation from our Mu family for the suffering he has endured over the years. From now on, our Mu family will have nothing to do with him, and he and I will be strangers. Okay?”
Mu Wenya's continuous tears softened the old man's heart as expected. He owed this daughter too much and simply couldn't ignore her request.
Just as the old man was struggling with his decision, Qin Lang sullenly refuted her words, "Wenya, don't beg him! He's the one who tore us apart, leaving me in this state and separating us for so long. Now that I've found you, I won't give up again. I want to be with you through thick and thin, through life and death..."
"Pah! I can't stand it anymore!" Ouyang, unable to contain himself any longer, pointed at Qin Lang's nose and cursed, "You, a heinous villain, dare to shamelessly claim to like Wenya? You don't deserve her! How many women have you slept with? You're so filthy, even a dog wouldn't want to be near you. Wenya is only letting you go because she's kind-hearted, do you really think it's because you're so charming? Go, go, get out of here, you're not welcome!"
"You—" A vicious light suddenly flashed in Qin Lang's gloomy eyes, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, staring at its prey with resentment.
Although Ouyang was highly skilled in medicine, he didn't know martial arts. Being stared at like that, especially by someone he considered an utterly wicked villain, made him somewhat timid. However, thinking of Mu Wenya, he mustered his courage and glared back.
"Stop arguing, just go, go now, I don't want to see you again!" Mu Wenya turned her head away, refusing to look at Qin Lang.
"Get out of here now, or I'll change my mind!" the old man shouted mercilessly.
Qin Lang broke free from the man in black and quickly ran towards the door.
He suddenly stopped at the doorway and looked back at Mu Wenya. Mu Wenya's head was still turned to one side, refusing to look at him. His eyes flickered, a hint of resentment flashing within them.
Then, he glanced at Mu Nanxun and the old man, clenched his fist, and turned to disappear from everyone's sight.
Only after confirming that he had completely left did Mu Wenya turn her head, her eyes empty, as if she had lost her soul.
"Big sister, you shouldn't be so willful. A person like him deserves whatever punishment he receives. Besides, letting him go now is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains; he won't let us off the hook."
