Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Lian felt sad, seeing how afraid he was of Lu Nanze.

Obviously, he feared Second Brother, but yet for her sake...

She clenched her fists tightly and said, “Why are you looking at him? If he’s so capable, let him kill all of us then.”

She turned around and looked at Lu Nanze.

Her eyes were bloodshot and she looked like an infuriated wild animal.

She glared fiercely at Lu Nanze and hollered angrily, “Are you still human? Each of us here, we grew up together, our brothers! How could you treat your brothers like this? Lu Nanze, are you worthy of us calling you Second Brother?!”

He looked at the girl standing before him and, suddenly, a dazed look appeared in his eyes.

The first time she saw again after eight years, she had cowered in fear.

Now that she was hollering at him, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling—a feeling he felt eight years ago.

He was a selfish and self-serving person, he had never known what friendship was.

If it hadn’t been for Qiao Lian, who had made him join their group at the time, he would have had no friends today.

The few people before him were indeed the only friends he had ever had.

A look of reminiscence flashed across his face. For some reason, he recalled the moment when their small group became sworn brothers.

At that time, Qiao Lian considered herself the big sister of the group. But the fact was that he was older than all of them by a year, which is why they addressed him as Big Brother.

At that time, refusing to lose her stand, Qiao Lian had said, “Big Brother sounds too much like a gangster. Let’s start from the next level.”

Grinning at him, she had said, “Lu Nanze, from now on you’re our Second Brother. What do you think?”

Second...

Of course, that didn’t sound good at all.

But he saw that she was laughing as she said this. There was a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, which made obvious to him that she was teasing him. He eventually refrained from saying the words that had formed in his mouth.

From then on, he became their Second Brother.

As Lu Nanze recalled all of these things, he saw that Qiao Lian was already helping Sun Linan make his way to the door.

She did not look back at him once.

Feeling a dull ache in his heart, Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes. The tenderness he had felt a moment ago disappeared at once. The iciness and cruelty returned as he said, “You’re going just like that?”

Qiao Lian and Sun Linan halted and turned back to look at him.

Lu Nanze lowered his head and looked at his own hand. That menacing smile on his face brought out his devilish charm.

He had not finished speaking, but the meaning behind it was as clear as daylight.

He wasn’t going to let Sun Linan go.

Her fists still tightly clenched, Qiao Lian said, “Lu Nanze, you’re going way overboard!”

Lu Nanze sneered, “Way overboard? All of Suzhou knew that I was trying to raise the bar for the new investor, but Sun Linan here betrayed his own people. If I dealt with this shoddily, how will I gain a footing in Suzhou in the future?”

Qiao Lian glared at him with burning eyes. “You’d never have to worry about this. You’d even hit your brother, who grew up with you. When you put yourself out there, I’m sure no one would dare stir trouble with you, you living Satan!”

There was an unmistakable mocking tone in her voice.

Lu Nanzhe laughed derisively, as his expression magnified that devilish charm.

Sun Linan, however, did not dare to inch another step forward. He looked at Lu Nanze and said, “Second Brother, this was my idea and mine alone. It has nothing to do with the Sun family. You can do whatever you wish to me, but please do not drag the rest of the Sun family into this matter.”

Lu Nanze gave a cold laugh and said, “I can leave the rest of your family out of this, but...”
