The reality of the situation crashed over Xin Yue like a tidal wave. Her brother, the little boy she had sworn to protect, was now out in the world alone.
"Why would you do that?" Xin Yue's voice cracked, a mixture of sorrow and anger echoing in her words.
Chen Rui was unfazed by Xin Yue's anger. She replied, "Why would I do that? Isn't it because of you? You didn't come home late until night and went God knows where. And that little imp…He kept bothering me asking me where you were. So, I threw him out."
As Xin Yue's eyes bore into Chen Rui's, a fire ignited within her, fueled by a protective rage that overshadowed her grief. Determination etched across her face, she took a step closer, her voice quivering with a newfound strength.
"You listen to me carefully," Xin Yue asserted, her words cutting through the tense air. "If Mu Haoran is not found safe and sound, I won't let you off the hook. I won't let you live peacefully, knowing what you've done."
