“I’m your sister, yet you can get people to kidnap me without mercy. Tell me, why did you hurt my uncle? Huh? Why? Did he treat you badly? He adopted you and raised you as his own son, but you framed him! Wu Zongxu, why did you do this to your father? If you’re asking me to stay by your side, what about your father? What about my uncle? He treated you so well. Why did you frame him?”
Wu Zongxu’s eyes narrowed. He shook his head and said, “No, I didn’t. I didn’t hurt him!”
“You’re still trying to argue! There was a time when you often ran to the grocery store at night and caused a lot of commotion. Back then, I had specifically asked you what you had been doing—and you told me that you were looking for something. You were already committing crimes then, weren’t you? Wu Zongxu, why are you so awful? Why are you so heartless? Our Wu family treated you so well. Whatever my brother and I had, you had too. Why did you hurt me? Why did you hurt uncle? Why did you hurt our family?”
Wu Pingting almost broke down. After all, she had been closer to Wu Zongxu than her own brother ever since she was young. As a younger sister, she was very attached and treated him like a real brother.
However, it was this person had who not only caused her to suffer but had also harmed her uncle— putting her uncle and the entire Wu family in a life-and-death situation.
“Pingting, please believe me! I didn’t do it!”
With that, Wu Zongxu looked at Elder Wu again. He cried, “Grandfather, it wasn’t me. Please believe me, I really didn’t do this! I don’t know anything about what happened to my father. How can you blame me for what happened to my father? Grandpa, please let me out! I promise to treat Pingting well and be filial to you. You’re getting old. Zongyang is going to inherit second uncle’s company and can’t stay by your side often. Won’t it be good to have me by your side?”
Elder Wu walked up to Wu Zongxu and swung his walking stick at him. He cursed angrily. “B*stard!”
“You harmed my eldest son and my granddaughter, and you still want Grandpa to bail you out? Wu Zongxu, the Wu family treated you well because you’re Eldest Uncle’s adopted son! In return, you harmed all of us—even your father. Yet you still want to avoid consequences? Are you thinking straight?”
“I didn’t! Grandpa, I didn’t harm father! Do you think since I’m the one who allowed Xu Yunyun to harm Pingting, I also harmed my father? My father is the person I respect the most in life. I would die before I ever harmed him!”
Nangong Nuannuan could not take it anymore. She stood up and said, “Elder Wu, based on why he harmed Pingting, we can see that he is an extremely selfish and sinister person. You won’t be able to get anything out of him by just asking him like this. If you trust me, let me ask him.”
Elder Wu was startled but then immediately nodded. “Alright.”
Seeing Nangong Nuannuan walking toward him, Wu Zongxu subconsciously sat back down on the ground and shifted back.
Nangong Nuannuan smiled slightly. “Whether you’re lying or not, and whether you had a reason to harm Governor Wu… All I need to do is to put a needle in you to find out. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt.”
Seeing Nangong Nuannuan pull out a needle from her bracelet, Wu Zongxu reached out his hand and tried to snatch it away. However, how could his strength ever match that of Nangong Nuannuan’s?
Moreover, Nangong Nuannuan still had Chi Yang by her side.
Before his hand could even touch Nangong Nuannuan, Chi Yang forcefully broke it.
