Ou Zihan gently cupped her face in his two large hands. Her fair and pure face was covered with crystal tears. He gently wiped away her tears with his thumbs, his moist black eyes fixed on her, filled with tenderness.
"Xiaoyi, you're just a woman. Women are naturally delicate and need to be protected by men. It's not your fault, it's my fault. I never imagined that Dean Gong and Li Mei would conspire to break us up. I found out too late, and you've suffered so much injustice and hurt. It's my fault for not protecting you..."
Ou Zihan's throat tightened, his voice filled with self-blame and sorrow. He kept scolding himself for trusting Dean Gong so much that he hadn't even seen through this. He felt utterly guilty for causing his beloved woman so many injuries and almost losing her life!
"You know everything? How did you know?" Luo Xiaoyi found it incredibly unbelievable, her face full of doubt. Dean Gong and Li Mei's plan was so flawless that she felt no one else could have known if she hadn't spoken up. She couldn't understand how Ou Zihan knew.
"I was investigating Han Yue's poisoning, but following the source of the poison, I found out it was Dean Gong. Roland poisoned Han Yue, and I arrested Roland as well. Dean Gong has also been arrested, and Li Mei is currently being pursued. I estimate she will be caught soon. This time, I will not let them live!"
When Ou Zihan spoke of them, he gritted his teeth in hatred. If it weren't for them, he and Xiaoyi wouldn't have suffered so much. He could kill these three people a hundred times and still not be able to quell the hatred in his heart!
When Luo Xiaoyi heard him mention Han Yue, a wave of pain surged through her heart. "Yue'er, she's so pitiful. I always wanted to protect her, but I never expected that I would end up hurting her... Waaah..." Luo Xiaoyi's tears, which she had just stopped, flowed out again like a flood breaking through a dam.
"Silly girl, who told you Han Yue is dead? Han Yue is my best female bodyguard, how could she die so easily? Ten well-trained strong men might not be able to beat her. Don't cry, baby, from now on you have to smile when you're with me, don't cry."
Ou Zihan wiped away her tears, looking at her with warm eyes and a doting smile on his sexy lips. They say women are made of water, and it seems to be true. Once she starts crying, it never ends, making his heart ache in waves.
"Really? Li Mei lied to me again! It's so good that Yue'er is alright..." A surprised smile finally appeared on Luo Xiaoyi's face.
Sigh, she couldn't help but lament. Everyone around Ou Zihan was more capable than her. It seemed she was the weakest one. Why was she protecting this person and that person? Strengthening herself was the most important thing.
“That’s right, baby looks most beautiful when she smiles.” Ou Zihan’s beautiful long fingers gently pinched her slightly cool cheek, his dark eyes filled with such deep affection that they almost overwhelmed her.
So this is what it's like to be with this man...
Why is she about to cry again?
She turned her face away, trying to control her emotions.
However, just as she turned her head, she saw a man in black pointing a pistol at Ou Zihan. The man had already pulled the trigger, and the bullet was about to fly into Ou Zihan's body!
In that critical moment, Luo Xiaoyi suddenly stepped in front of Ou Zihan. A gunshot rang out, and by the time Ou Zihan reacted, the bullet had already pierced Luo Xiaoyi's arm. Luo Xiaoyi screamed in pain and fell to the ground, blood gushing from her upper arm.
"Xiaoyi!..." Before Ou Zihan could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head and fainted!
"Zihan!..." Luo Xiaoyi struggled to sit up, but as soon as she did, everything went black and she fainted.
...
The entrance to the secret underground room of the European mansion.
Madam Ou arrived with a dozen or so bodyguards, looking menacing. She stood menacingly before Mo Nan and Butler Zhao. Madam Ou's aura was extraordinary; she was like a tornado, capable of instantly shattering all defenses.
"Greetings, Madam Ou." Mo Nan and Butler Zhao greeted her respectfully in unison, neither daring to look at her cold and stern face, but obediently lowering their heads.
"Mo Nan, Lao Zhao, you still know how to greet me? You still know you're from the Ou family? The Ou family has raised you for decades, and this is how you repay me? Huh?"
Mrs. Ou's dark eyes seemed to be shooting out cold arrows, aimed straight at their hearts!
They looked at Madam Ou, their hearts pounding. Madam Ou had come with a haughty air, demanding their return. What were they going to do? The young master was not there, and they couldn't get through on the phone.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Ou, we..." The two hesitated, wondering how there could be such a mother and son in the world. They couldn't get along with anything and kept going against each other, making things very difficult for them, the servants!
With a wave of her hand, Mrs. Ou's bodyguard offered her an expensive cigarette. She took one out and put it in her mouth. Another bodyguard quickly took out a lighter and lit it for her. She took a deep drag and exhaled a fragrant white smoke. She looked just like a queen who was adored by everyone, being served with utmost care, domineering and tyrannical.
Mo Nan stared in astonishment at Madam Ou's composed demeanor, which was quite similar to her son's. The two were remarkably alike; whenever their emotions fluctuated or they were deep in thought, they would smoke to calm themselves down and become silent, as silent as death, which made others even more terrified, wondering what they would face in the next second.

"You can't do anything about it, can you? You're just servants, how could you possibly control your young master, right? Don't try to talk nonsense to me! These words are just excuses for disloyalty! Do you understand?"
Mrs. Ou slammed the cigarette she had just taken two puffs of onto the ground in front of them! They jumped in fright! Luckily, Mrs. Ou showed mercy and didn't throw the cigarette butt at their faces.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Ou stomped hard on the half-burnt cigarette on the ground, extinguishing it. After extinguishing it, she stomped on it several times with great force, crushing the half-burnt cigarette into dust!
Mo Nan and Butler Zhao stared at the shattered cigarette, their hearts skipped a beat, and their legs went weak. Madam Ou's meaning was all too clear: if they blocked the doorway and wasted her precious time, they would be torn to pieces just like that half-cigarette!
They knew the Ou family's style of doing things all too well: those who obeyed them prospered, and those who defied them perished.
They had witnessed Madam Ou's ruthlessness firsthand; the way those who defied her died was so disgusting that just one glance at it would make anyone want to vomit.
Between Madam Ou and the young master, they could only betray the young master. At least, the young master would remember their past relationship and not take their lives. They finally made up their minds and chose to abandon the young master.
"Understood, Madam Ou, we know we were wrong! We'll release them right away!" the two said in unison. They could no longer stand up for their young master. They turned around, took out their keys, and prepared to open the door to the secret room.
