"Why do you want to kill Yuan Boqin as well? He treats you well, and he also sees you as his uncle."
Yang Liu was trying to hold back his anger when he asked the question. Zhou Yongliang always told him how nice Yuan Boqin toward the uncle was, so why did the uncle want to kill the innocent boy too? Wasn't it enough to take the little kid's soul a year ago?
Yuan Dongping peeked at Yang Liu coldly. "So what?" He asked the younger guy back instead of answering the guy's question. "His kindness doesn't give me anything, but his parents cruelity gives my heart permanent scar. I have to avenge my wounded heart, right? And have you ever heard of good has good recompense[1]? I think it's relevant for my case too. I have to repay bad with bad."
