She thought for a moment and answered seriously, "It means the family's foundation, it means my grandfather's expectations, it means... everything I need to protect."
Qin Yang's lips curled into a faint, cold smile, seemingly both mocking and self-deprecating.
"guard?"
He repeated the sentence softly, his eyes becoming dark and deep.
"Some things cannot be protected."
His tone carried a sense of world-weariness and coldness.
Chen Yuqi's heart tightened for no apparent reason.
She sensed that Qin Yang seemed a little different from usual.
The icy aura that had always surrounded him, keeping everyone at arm's length, seemed to have cracked slightly.
Although beneath that crack lies an even more chilling darkness and storm.

Qin Yang's face was expressionless.
They neither admitted nor denied it.
But the darkness and chilling killing intent surging in those unfathomable eyes said it all!
Chen Yuqi felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, as if the blood in her body was about to freeze!
No wonder!
No wonder he acts so ruthlessly and uses such swift and decisive methods!
No wonder he completely disregarded these so-called big families in Ninghai!
It turns out that he carried such a deep-seated blood feud!
