Anger burst out from Mingzhu's eyes.

Why did he get to decide everything?

It was not like she did anything wrong.

Mingzhu said, "Are those my only two options?"

Mingzhu's voice was as cold as ice when she spoke.

Ye Zhizhou pointed to the door and said in a low voice, "No. If you want to, you can even go ahead and report me to the police!"

Mingzhu bit her lips.

Would she be safe if she reported Ye Zhizhou?

Would they believe she was innocent?

What if they suspect her of something else?

Mingzhu tightly clenched her fists.

After spending all these years as an orphan, she finally felt the warmth of having a family.

Would all the warmth she had always craved be gone if she reported Ye Zhizhou?

A smile flashed in Ye Zhizhou's eyes.

The hardest thing to predict was the human heart; it was far more complex than people thought.

It was never wise to test someone's heart because no one can afford to lose.

Ye Zhizhou said, "Mingzhu, it's not that hard to kill someone. Think about it—you haven't murdered anyone or stained your hands with blood all these years. Don't you think you're luckier than everyone else? Why is that?"

Ye Zhizhou's voice was slightly ethereal and husky.

"That is because I like you. I liked you from the first moment I saw you. Maybe you don't believe me. You don't think a guy like me could ever like someone, but it's true."

Mingzhu sneered.

Ye Zhizhou liking her seemed like the greatest joke she had ever heard.

Would Ye Zhizhou fall in love with a woman?

Don't be ridiculous.

How was it even possible?

However, Ye Zhizhou wasn't angry at all. He just stared at Mingzhu.

He opened his thin lips lightly with a soft and calm tone and said, "Do you think you can find out your true identity because of Qin Chuan? Mingzhu, aren't you being too naive?"

Mingzhu was startled. The name Qin Chuan came to mind immediately.

She stared at Ye Zhizhou and said, "You did it on purpose? Did you push Qin Chuan out on purpose? You know that once Qin Chuan's identity is revealed, he will..."

Mingzhu didn't say the rest.

Everyone knew what would happen to Qin Chuan!

Ye Zhizhou said, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trifles. What's more, if he becomes successful one day, his name will naturally be recorded in the merit book."

Mingzhu rushed in front of Ye Zhizhou. She stared at Ye Zhizhou with reddened eyes and asked angrily, "Do our lives mean nothing to you?"

"Mingzhu."

Ye Zhizhou gave her a softly scolding.

His heterochromatic eyes were staring at Mingzhu as he said, "Why didn't you get punished when you first ran away from the orphanage? It was because I was protecting you. The others had to bleed, fight, and give up their dignity because I was protecting you. Mingzhu, the person who did all these things for you was not Qin Chuan, but me! Mingzhu, all you need to know is that I never have and never will harm you. I have protected you and taken care of you in every possible way just because you are the first girl to not fear me. Mingzhu, don't make me kill you myself!"

Mingzhu stepped back and leaned against the wall beside the door as soon as Ye Zhizhou finished talking.
