Yao Shu's expression changed. He lifted his hands, wanting to stroke Yao Mengqi's back but it was beyond his capability. Yao Mengqi did not notice Yao Shu's peculiarity and was still angrily complaining about those two bodyguards, even wanting Yao Shu to dismember their bodies.
"Mengqi," Yao Shu sighed and bitterly said, "this time, I'm afraid I can't help you."
"Father?" Yao Mengqi raised her eyes filled with tears and looked at Yao Shu while failing to understand the situation. "Father, what do you mean?"
What did he mean he couldn't help her?
"His meaning is very simple. He's powerless to help himself so how could he help you?"
Ling Hai suddenly appeared in the Punishment Hall with his arms crossed on his chest. His expression of contempt was cast towards the father and daughter hugged together as he spoke mockingly.
