Chapter 769: Sister Digged a Hole for Xiao Yize

Gu Jin looked at Xiao Yize with a stoic expression, her knuckles audibly cracking in the tense silence.

Had Xiao Yize assumed she was indifferent to his abduction of her sister right before her eyes?

Slowly, Xiao Yize turned to meet Gu Jin's icy stare, the once playful smile on his lips now frozen in place.

In that moment, he realized he might have been too engrossed in his plan to abduct her sister.

Hurriedly, he attempted to explain himself, his voice betraying a hint of urgency, "Miss Gu, I didn't mean any harm. I simply want your sister to grow stronger. The stronger she is, the better equipped she'll be to protect herself, don't you agree?"

Implicit in his words was also the idea that a stronger sister could contribute significantly to the nation.

Gu Jin's expression remained unmoved as she continued to stare at Xiao Yize.
