Ian rebutted this allegation without mercy. "Do not attempt to assert yourself so eloquently if you do not have the ability to protect Jia'er!"
Those words disturbed Jin Xiangdong because Ian had struck a nerve. While Jin Xiangdong was unclear about Ian's background, Ian had already seen him through and through.
That being said, Jin Xiangdong was not completely blinded to the situation. "You must all know when Jia'er was with me before. If you wanted to take action, you wouldn't have waited till now. The only reason that you did not intervene in time was to find out how far Jia'er's independent consciousness could go! But the sudden insolvent from you must have disrupted the plan. Now, you declare that while wishing to, you could not help Jia'er in recovering her memory. This has proved my assumption. Jia'er's consciousness has started to awaken!"
