Luo Xiaoyi heard her father's heart-wrenching cries, "Xiaoyi, you can't be so cruel! You have to help your father! Please, I beg you, spare them!"
Ou Zihan placed Luo Xiaoyi on the luxurious European-style sofa in the living room, took out tissues to wipe her tears, and held her in his warm embrace. He gently stroked her dark hair with his large hand. "Xiaoyi, don't cry. No matter how badly you are hurt or how much pain you are in, just come to my side. I will always be by your side with you."
His voice was low and warm.
These words warmed her heart instantly.
She looked up at him, her eyes blurry with tears, "Young Master Ou, did you really arrest them?"
"They committed such heinous crimes against the woman I love. Do you think I can remain indifferent? Xiaoyi, do you know how scared I was when I couldn't find you that day? I was so afraid that you would suddenly disappear from my world. If that happened, I don't know how I would live without you?"
His voice was hoarse and choked with emotion, and the deeper feeling in his tone was that he was conveying his fear and helplessness to Luo Xiaoyi at that moment.
He, Ou Zihan, had never been afraid of anything before. But at that moment, he was truly terrified. He suddenly remembered her departure, the heart-wrenching pain it had left him in, leaving him in a hellish world of helplessness and despair.
Ou Zihan's words immediately brought tears to her eyes again, but this time they were not tears of pain, but tears of emotion.
Seeing his lingering fear, she felt a pang of sympathy. Was her blood-related father really less important than a complete stranger? What a cruel irony.

"Young Master Ou, thank you for staying by my side." Her throat tightened, and she pressed her face against his warm embrace, a place where she felt increasingly trusting and safe.
Even the slightest initiative from her could warm Ou Zihan's heart like sunshine.
"What do you plan to do with them?" Luo Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask, still concerned about them.
Ou Zihan narrowed his deep eyes and uttered two cold words, "Starve to death."
Luo Xiaoyi was startled. She got up from his arms and looked at him. "You mean they've been starving for three days?" She couldn't imagine what they looked like now. They must be too weak to even crawl.
"This is already considered lenient. If they weren't your family, I wouldn't have kept them alive until today." Ou Zihan's handsome face was expressionless, but it revealed a chilling aura.
"Young Master Ou, please let them go. I don't want anyone to die, or it will implicate you," she said nervously. After all, this is a society governed by law; how can they act so arbitrarily?
"What a joke! With my abilities, do you think you can implicate me?" Ou Zihan said with a disdainful expression.
“I know you are powerful and all-powerful, but we are family after all. I can’t bear to see my dad sad. Although I am very disappointed in my dad, I still can’t be so heartless.”
"Well then, let's hand them over to the police station, and also hand over those two thuggish witnesses. Those who commit crimes should be punished by law. As for your father, since he's determined to protect them even at the cost of his life, let him move out of the manor. I've prepared another apartment for him, so you won't have to see him and feel sad. Is that alright?"
"I was a bit terrified that day. I just remembered, those two thugs? Did you really bring twenty Tibetan mastiffs to bite them that day? And they're still alive?" Luo Xiaoyi couldn't even imagine such a horrific scene. How gruesome it must have been to be skinned alive?
Ou Zihan snorted coldly, "They're lucky to have survived being chased by a pack of dogs and managed to escape by climbing up the chimney. But they're half-crippled and barely alive. I don't think they'd dare to mess with you again, even if they had the guts. But it's good that they're alive; now they can testify."
