Lu Yan was embarrassed. "Nanxing, I've always been very polite to you, and I treated you very well. I was sincere in treating you as a friend. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."
I sneered. "Miss Gu is indeed more confident than Ye Qian, the adopted daughter. But it seems like your IQ has dropped since the last time we met. I don't know about you, but I don't argue with fools. Goodbye, Gu Nian!"
I walked past them and deliberately only said goodbye to Gu Nian.
I had shed all pretenses with Lu Yan and Ye Qian.
Gu Nian had a complicated expression on his face. "Nanxing!"
I stopped, but I didn't turn around. "No apology, please. I'll tell you what I told Ye Qian. I'll return hundredfold the pain Jing Tian, and I suffered back to the culprits. We have survived a near-death experience, so I hope they are prepared for the retribution!"
It was sunny. I looked up and had to shield my eyes. My cheeks were wet. The sunlight was too sharp. My heart couldn't ripple anymore. No one was born evil. Therefore, everyone had to be responsible for their own choices. One shouldn't keep on trying to find excuses.
I was foolish to find excuses for them. I forgave them many times. I knew Ye Qian was the one who wanted to kill me in my previous life, but I still didn't want to harm her before this. It was because I found out about her background. I thought since many people had changed, she could change too.
But I was wrong. My kindness had placed Jing Tian and me in mortal danger...
There was really no empathy between humans! Therefore, there was no need to put oneself in other people's shoes because the other person might not do the same. I was the perfect example. My benevolence was traded for a fatal disaster!
...
My father's belongings sat quietly inside the bank safe. There was a very thick notebook and a small password box.
I asked the bank for a suitcase and packed them away. Nanfeng told me not to seek revenge and focus on rebuilding the Nan Family. So, this small box could rebuild the Nan Family?
Regardless, it didn't matter. Even without this box, I could rebuild the Nan Family.
I would work on the Nan Family bit by bit after everything was dealt with. I had a lot of free time in the future. It was at least three years or perhaps, even longer than that.
I had been quite sentimental lately. Perhaps it was because I had been told too many sentimental stories.
There was a slight buzz in my ears. I instinctively turned my body. The blade cut from my side. I swung the suitcase at the assailant's head. His knife fell. I didn't even look at the assailant and kicked him hard. He slammed into the stone pillar and let out a painful scream.
The young man with long hair was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground and couldn't get up.
I held my suitcase and looked around. I raised my voice and said, "Stop hiding. Come out now!"
I walked forward without fear. People rushed at me from all sides. However, before they got close, my gang of four arrived.. They formed a barrier around me and took down every criminal.
