Zhou Che remained silent for sometime before he stood up and looked into his father's eyes , " They might be powerful but nothing in this world is more powerful than my hatred for her ! Zhichen had grabbed my hands when he was dying dad ! You know what his last word was ?!! It was " Xinghe " ! He was killed by her ! She should've told us about his addiction the moment she came to know about it ! We were his family , not her ! I don't care how crazy I sound but I have been working hard for these past five years just so I could return back and avenge Zhichen ! And I will end the game she had started back then ! She sacrificed my brother , so I will sacrifice all the six of hers ! "
Zhou Chongshan stared at the mother and son pair climb up the stairs after the man said his part of words and clenched his fists .
He sighed.
Its just not you two who have lost Zhichen !
I have lost my son as well !
But my heart is constantly telling me to trust that girl's innocence !
Che , my son , I really hope that you don't end up destroying yourself in this fire of revenge .

Meanwhile , In Military Chief Mansion :
Xi Yuan stepped out of the girl's room as he gently closed the door and faced the six men who were waiting for him there already .
" So .... young man ! Care to explain what you were doing with our sister at this time of night ?! ", Zhi Xi asked coldly .
" You have clear idea about her importance to us , yet you dared to persue her . I really appreciate your courage , brat ! ", Lu Wei smiled wickedly .
" I thought you understood the meaning of rejection , but you don't look like you are taking your steps back ! What do you think you are doing ?! ", Zhi Al's voice was a little hostile as well.
Mo Zixuan , Zhi Bo and Su Rogguang decided to stay silent as the three men had already said what they wanted to convey .
On the other hand , Xi Yuan was a little stunned when he heard the word 'rejection' !
Did that mean that these six already knew about his confession to the girl in New York ?!
That was really an unexpected turn !
Then why did they not looked for him earlier ?!
" Explain . We already know everything . ", Mo Zixuan said impatiently as he looked at the tongue-tied man .
Xi Yuan took a deep breath to gather some courage .
No matter how calm he was , he had to select his words carefully in front of these six people .
After all , their opinions mattered the most to his girl . Also , they were the only people who had given her warmth and love when she was at the weakest stage of her life . So he also genuinely respected all of them .
What more , this 25 year old young man was feeling vulnerable in front of his mentors Lu Wei and Zhi Xi .
At this time , Xi Yuan closed his eyes and imagined his girl's divine smiling face which filled up his heart with confidence .
He then opened his eyes again and replied with a smile , " I love your Sister."
The six men : " ... "
" I heard that after seven months of your relationship , Mrs. Ningtao had misunderstood you and left you for one year , Senior Lu . Why didn't you gave up ? Wasn't that a rejection ?
" And if I remember it correctly , Mrs. Songyan had also rejected your proposals for three times before she finally let you inside her heart , Senior Zhi . She thought that you were too arrogant . Why didn't you gave up ?
" And second senior Zhi Bo , I heard that Mrs. Ruo Cy had actually took you for a thief and had even reported you to police . She had also rejected you many times before she accepted a single date , right ? Despite being a man of such a high respect and honour , how come you never took a step back ? Why didn't you gave up ? "
Lu Wei : "..."
Zhi Xi : "..."
Zhi Bo : "..."
" You all are my inspiration when it comes to love . After observing your love stories , I have come to a conclusion that love does not end until and unless both the people give up . Her reasons are not wrong . Her past has indeed hurt her the most and I know that . She needs time to see through the things clearly .
" But I can't give up . Because if I do , I don't think I will be able to survive . Just looking at her gives me courage to keep going on even if there is a risk of failure. Her every smile fills up my heart with strength , warmth and life . I had been working like a robot , until my eyes fell on her . I can't live without her . Not now that she is in so much pain . I will help her fight her past .
" She is becoming my drug , my addiction . I really love her and I will not stop until she gives me a fair chance . I don't want her decision to be blurred by her past .
" I understand your hostility and resentment towards me . I am a brother as well . I would have reacted the same way you have reacted today if it was about Ying . Of course , I cannot measure upto you all . You all are way more better brothers than I could ever be . Xinghe just doesn't love you all , but she respects you . That's why it is even more important for me to have your blessings ." , the man answered .
The room was covered in an atmosphere of silence after the man said the words .
" Do you think you deserve her ? ", Mo Zixuan asked .
" Nope . I don't think I deserve a person as amazing as her . But everyone likes the stars in the sky even though they know they can't reach them ." , Xi Yuan replied .
" What if she loves someone else ? ", Su Rogguang asked .
" I won't show up in front of her again if that happens because I can't bear the thought of her being close to any other man. ", the man replied truthfully .
" How much can you wait for her ? " , Zhi Bo targeted his question this time .
" I will wait for her until my last breath ! "
" What about her work ? Her life is always on the edge. ", Zhi Xi asked.
" I know . But as much as I would hate to lose her , her spirit will die if her freedom is snatched from her . So I will have to respect that. ", the man took a deep breath .
