"Huang Zhendong and Huang Sheng won't agree, but they can't force Ouyang Shuang not to, can they?" Xu Ke smiled faintly. The strong are proud. In Ouyang Shuang's eyes, I'm no different from an ant. Faced with an ant's provocation, someone as cautious as Huang Sheng might ignore it. But someone as proud as Ouyang Shuang would crush it with the force of a thunderbolt. Besides, if Ouyang Shuang refuses, I can still use this to ruin her reputation while keeping Huang Qi in my grasp. It's a no-lose situation.
Wong Qifu's beautiful eyes were fixed on Xu Ke; she didn't want him to take such a risk. "But you have to understand," she began, "they're targeting you because of me. It's not something you brought upon yourself."
This was the source of her guilt. She was the one who had dragged Xu Ke into tonight's crisis.
"Without you, Siao Jia and his men would have broken my arms and legs earlier tonight," Xu Ke replied with a faint smile.
