Soon, Shen Siyin's voice disappeared into the darkness.

A biting wind whipped past, and Xiao Zonghan let out a breath, his eyes holding a hint of complexity.

Toward Shen Xingyue, he felt more guilt than pity. He had been desperately trying to rescue her for so many years. At this moment, when Shen Xingyue truly arrived, he was somewhat dazed.

If it wasn't him, Shen Siyin wouldn't have poisoned Shen Xingyue so viciously.

Xiao Zonghan cast his gaze several times towards the direction where Shen Siyin had disappeared, his eyes darkened.

……

Shen Xingyue stood in the outer hall, her expression somewhat restrained.

She carefully sat on the edge of the chair, her eyes filled with unease that she couldn't suppress.

Xiao Zonghan walked in and saw Shen Xingyue like this.

"Starlight." He spoke, Shen Xingyue's eyes shot up, seeing him, the next instant, her eyes turned red. "Zong Han!" She rushed into his embrace.

Xiao Zonghan's body stiffened slightly, looking at Shen Xingyue who was crying and trembling in his arms. He still reached out his hand.

He gently stroked her back with both hands.

Shen Xingyue's tears fell drop by drop, blurring his military uniform. Xiao Zonghan pursed his lips: "Did Qin Hai bully you?"

Shen Xingyue's body trembled suddenly.

It seems, I heard of an extremely terrifying existence!

Xiao Zonghan's face was as dark as water. He grabbed Shen Xingyue and forced her to look at him: "Xingyue, what did that bastard Qin Hai do?!"

"He..." Shen Xingyue's body trembled even more fiercely, "He... beat me, several times, I thought I was already dead," she said, rolling up the sleeve of her arm. Under the delicate clothes, there were streaks of scars.

Those scars, some new and some old, are scattered and glaringly visible.

Xiao Zonghan's fists clenched, making a grinding sound. With one punch, he slammed his fist onto the table: "Damn it!"

Over the years, to spare Shen Xingyue from suffering, he had been avoiding Qin Hai in many things.

But I never expected that bastard to still dare treat Xingyue like that!

Fortunately, this time he would no longer have any scruples about Qin Hai.

He lowered his head, Shen Xingyue's eyes, glistening with tears, met his. For some reason, looking at this face, another face unexpectedly flashed before his eyes.

Her eyes sparkled, her lips pale. She smiled, a stark contrast to Shen Xingyue. Two deep dimples adorned her cheeks, but beneath that beautiful facade lay a heart of pure malice!

"Zonghan, where's my sister?" Just then, Shen Xingyue seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly withdrew from Xiao Zonghan's arms.

Xiao Zonghan's eyes sank slightly.

Xingyue really cared about Shen Sini. That woman treated her like that, and she still went out of her way to think of her.

Xiao Zonghan did not answer Shen Xingyue's words, his eyes were cold and fierce.

Since Xingyue was unwilling to blame her, he had to make Shen Siyin pay the price!

"Zong Han, does my sister… is she still blaming me? I, I don't want to argue with her. I... I've already done this," she said, her eyes reddening again: "If my sister blames me, I'll leave now... I actually just wanted to see her, that's all."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly tried to run out. In the next instant, her figure suddenly stopped, “Ah!”

The weaker body fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" Xiao Zonghan frowned.

"I... I'm fine." Shen Xingyue said, her hand unconsciously lifting the hem of her loose trousers.

Xiao Zonghan's eyes narrowed, and at the woman's slender ankle, a deep purple-red mark was clearly visible.

"Is this Qin Haiyan's too?"

"No...no, it's me, myself..." Shen Xingyue seemed to want to hide.

Xiao Zonghan grabbed her arm, his knuckles white: "Don't leave. Just stay here. This time, Shao Shu Fu will protect you!" And for the pain you suffered, I will make Shen Siyin repay it tenfold!
