"I hope you can acknowledge my daughter as your granddaughter. Once you give the word, I believe no one in Da Peng City would dare trouble her," Qi Zhonglu said earnestly.
Pei Jinye looked at him with a calm gaze.
Qi Zhonglu's eyes were sincere, without the slightest hint of evasion.
Pei Jinye spoke softly, "You should know that this is nothing to me. And you, losing such a treasure, is it worth it?"
"It is worth it," Qi Zhonglu said with a bitter expression. "I am now like a dog that has lost its home, without any power to rely on. I wanted to wash my hands clean of my past, but some people don't want to let me go. If this standoff continues, the only one who will get hurt is my daughter.
She is my only concern in this world. If anyone troubles her, I will kill their entire family!"
Pei Jinye watched silently.
He acted as if he hadn't perceived the threat in Qi Zhonglu's words.
