Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Zhonghao was powerless to refute Diao Zhuo’s aggressiveness. He covered the wound on his shoulder with a pained expression and breathed rapidly. However, Diao Zhuo did not intend to let him off so easily. “Did someone put a knife to your neck and force you to betray Meng Meng? No, everything was your own choice. Now that things have come to this, you brought this upon yourself. Stop pretending to be so loving here! 1 feel disgusted just looking at you! It’s making me want to vomit! You put on a righteous front in front of outsiders and make others think that I’m doing bad things because I’m rich and powerful. But what’s the real truth? Do you dare to tell everyone? Do you dare to say it? If you don’t dare to say it, I’ll say it. For the sake of your future, you betrayed Meng Meng first. You used her to gain a good reputation for yourself. You say that you love her, but you’ve never stopped hurting her!”
Li Zhonghao, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked at Diao Zhuo coldly. “Stop your nonsense! You’re clearly the one who coveted Meng Meng and used dirty methods to force me to hand her over to you. I just wanted to live. What’s wrong with that? I just wanted the days in the future to not be as hard as before…”
Hearing Li Zhonghao’s rebuttal, Diao Zhuo sneered and looked at him with a bone-chilling gaze. Li Zhonghao turned around and looked at his three members, then at Guan Sheng and Du Yue.
“Don’t believe him! What he said isn’t true! He relied on his wealth and power to force me to give Meng Meng to him. He threatened me, saying that if I didn’t do as he asked, he’d kick my entire family out of the underground base. My parents are old, and 1 have to take care of my younger siblings. I had no choice… Meng Meng swallowed her pride for me! Meng Meng isn’t happy by his side. I’m worried that Meng Meng will take things too hard, so I want to care for her. Everything I said is the truth! You have to believe me!” After Li Zhonghao finished speaking, he walked toward the three members of his team, wanting to seek their approval.
However, the three of them looked at Li Zhonghao with disdain and vigilance. Before he could get close, they took a few steps back. As for Guan Sheng, he just looked at Li Zhonghao coldly. Li Zhonghao stopped his steps and walked toward Du Yue and the other two. Du Yue was speechless when he saw him approaching. Did he think that Guan Sheng was not easy to deal but the three of them were? It turned out that Du Yue’s guess was right.
In Li Zhonghao’s eyes, Xia Ju and Du Yue were just fools. Although He Xing was a man, he had been doing research in the laboratory for a long time. He looked like a weak young man who could not pose any threat to Li Zhonghao.
Li Zhonghao quickly walked to the front of the three people. His gaze swept past Du Yue and the other two before finally landing on Xia Ju. He was about to reach out and pull Xia Ju’s sleeve. “Miss Xia Ju, what I said is true. You’ll believe me, right? If I’m really as bad as he said, why would the base put me in an important position and let me be the captain of the security team?” While Li Zhonghao was talking non-stop, he had already walked in front of Xia Ju, and his hand was about to touch Xia Ju’s arm.
In an instant, Xia Ju raised her leg and kicked Li Zhonghao’s chest without hesitation! Li Zhonghao was nearly 1.85 meters tall. He was born with a large frame. Even if he did not have much muscle, he was still very heavy. However, such a big fellow was sent flying five to six meters away by Xia Ju’s seemingly light kick! Li Zhonghao’s body flew through the air like a rag before crashing heavily onto the ground. Xia Ju bent down to brush the dust off her shoe and looked over coldly. “You dirty rat, stay away from me.”
Only Guan Sheng remained calm. Although this was the first time he had seen Xia Ju fight, he had a good understanding of Du Yue’s and He Xing’s skills. Xia Ju was able to stay with the two of them, so she definitely was not a good-for-nothing beauty. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, it proved that his guess was correct. The three team members and the skinny man who had always been invisible were all dumbfounded. They looked at Xia Ju blankly, not knowing what to do.
The base had sent them to protect Xia Ju. When they first saw this young lady, they only felt that she looked delicate and weak. Even though she was well-versed in medical research, she would still need them to help her if she encountered danger outside..
