After he finished speaking, he exited the room like a gust of wind, and a moment later returned, closing the door behind him.
Left behind were two people, both stunned and at a loss.
"Elder brother came back really early this year," said Jie Zhonglin awkwardly.
Miss Du was stunned for a moment, then said, "I heard that he has always felt so guilty about what happened to you. Don't you blame him?"
Jie Zhonglin's eyes, clear as water, gazed at Miss Du and said, "No blame, I understand his intentions. Without his coercion, I would not have gone to that bandit's village to rescue you, and then we would not have our Yiyi."
As he said this, his face darkened, filled with a few traces of despair, and he continued, "It's just a pity that I am disabled now; otherwise, I would have shown him what a hero his father was. When we were discovered back then, thirty-some of us facing against over a thousand adversaries."
