I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

"Mr. Lin," Gu Yan raised her head, her clear eyes looking directly at him, "If... I don't want this knife, can I use it to exchange for something?"

Lin Zhenting's expression turned serious: "Master Gu, please speak."

"I would like to ask Mr. Lin to help me kill two people."

Gu Yan's tone was calm and even, but her words carried a chill.

Lin Zhenting's pupils contracted slightly, clearly stunned.

In his memory, Gu Yan, despite his special status, was always a gentle, polite, and somewhat humorous young man, so perfect it seemed unreal.

He never associated the word "killing" with Gu Yan.

"One is named Wang Hu, and the other is named Liu Jinhua, who is my sister's adoptive mother."

Gu Yan seemed to sense his confusion and explained softly.

He paused, his voice still calm, yet it sent a chill down the spine of everyone listening: "If we don't get rid of them, my sister's life will soon be completely ruined by them."

"She has been driven to the brink of desperation."

"Mr. Lin can investigate their crimes first."

"Trafficking, abuse, extortion, attempted assault... enough to kill them many times over."

Gu Yan looked into the distance. "After the investigation is complete, you can directly transfer them to the Ministry of Justice and let them receive the trial they deserve through proper procedures."

"or……"

"Dispose of it in whatever way you think is the cleanest and most efficient. Anything is fine."

"I only want one result: they must die, and they can no longer hurt her."

Lin Zhenting looked at the sickly but determined young man in front of him and was deeply moved.

He could hear the protectiveness Gu Yan showed towards her younger sister beneath her calm words, as well as the icy killing intent she harbored towards those scumbags.

"I see."

Lin Zhenting immediately stood up straight and solemnly replied, "Leave this to me."

"I will handle this cleanly and completely, and it will absolutely not involve you or that sister."

He changed the subject, still insisting, "However, Master Gu, you still have to accept this knife."

"This is something I owe you. Helping you with this little matter is just a small favor, and it can't repay the kindness you've shown to the Lin family and to Jinyu."

Gu Yan looked at Lin Zhenting, her brows furrowing slightly.

Not right.

He always felt that deep in Lin Zhenting's eyes when he looked at him, there was a profound sense of indebtedness.

Moreover, this knife of extraordinary significance was something the other party went to great lengths and spared no expense to get into his hands.

A nameless unease, like cold spider silk, quietly crept into Gu Yan's heart.

He had a bad feeling.

Gu Yan stopped and looked at Lin Zhenting's slightly evasive eyes.

He went straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Lin, are you... hiding something from me?"

"No, no."

"Master Gu, how could I dare to hide anything from you?"

Lin Zhenting's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he replied almost immediately.

This reaction was too quick; it actually made him seem guilty.

Gu Yan frowned even more: "If you didn't hide anything, then you did hide something."

He felt his palms getting sweaty and suddenly became nervous.

An outrageous thought flashed through my mind.

Could it really be what he thinks? Probably not.

"It's really not a big deal."

"This is my daughter, Jinyu. She recently learned a new dance and really wants to show it to you."

"Mr. Gu, you wouldn't mind taking a look, would you?"

Lin Zhenting couldn't stand his clear gaze, so he forced a smile and said.

Gu Yan was stunned at first.

What new dance did Lin Jinyu learn?

Show it to him?

To be honest, he had a vague idea that Lin Jinyu might come, but even though he was somewhat prepared, he still hadn't come.

Hearing it with my own ears, I couldn't help but twitch my lips twice.

He could clearly feel Lin Jinyu's extraordinary concern and persistence towards him.

But he really wasn't interested in these female leads.

He just wanted to run away and start his own life.

"Mr. Gu, please, just let me see the child."

"She came all the way from Jinghai just for this..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Zhenting immediately changed to a pleading tone.

Gu Yan's lips twitched, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, it turned into a silent sigh.

Since Lin Zhenting dared to meet him, he must have already made thorough preparations.

The person is already at the Chen family's residence. What's the use of him saying he won't see them?

He spoke softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Mr. Lin, you really have given me a pleasant surprise."

"This way, Mr. Gu."

"I'm so sorry, I had no choice but to... I had no choice at all."

Even Lin Zhenting blushed and coughed twice.

"Mr. Lin, don't you trust my judgment?"

"I told you, Sister Jinyu is really fine, she's very healthy."

Gu Yan looked at him, her tone calm yet direct.

Lin Zhenting paused for a moment, his back view appearing somewhat heavy.

He turned around, his face no longer displaying the majesty of a gangster emperor, but rather the worry and earnestness of a father.

"Master Gu, it's not that I don't believe in you."

His voice lowered, "You're right, Jinyu is probably fine."

"But I am her father, and I watched her grow up."

"I've noticed how absent-minded and restless she's been lately, and it's making me very worried."

"Her mother and father both passed away early, and I raised her from a young age, treating her as my only biological daughter."

"I dare not gamble, Master Gu."

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, even if I'm just being paranoid, I still have to do something.

"Please...understand the heart of a father."

Gu Yan fell silent.

He recalled the six years he spent in the Lin family.

Aside from paying him a high salary, Lin Zhenting treated him very well in other ways.

The accommodations were comfortable and quiet, and the staff took meticulous care of our daily needs, never mistreating us.

Although he felt that he was making an equivalent exchange.

They traded treatment for payment and shelter.

But people aren't plants or trees; if you live together day and night and have no feelings of gratitude or affection for each other, that would be untrue.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, who was speaking humbly for his daughter and whose eyes were bloodshot, Gu Yan's displeasure dissipated somewhat.

He sighed. "Mr. Lin, I'll go with you to see Sister Jinyu."

"But no matter what the situation was when I met her today, I must go to South Africa later."

"That will not change."

Lin Zhenting was taken aback for a moment, then immediately nodded.

"certainly!"

"Although I personally wish to keep you in Daxia, it is your freedom to go wherever you want, and I absolutely respect your choice."

That old dog Chen Sinian wants Master Gu to be his son-in-law, he definitely won't let him go easily.

Anyway, I respect Master Gu's choice, but what my daughter wants to do is another matter.

That's none of my business.

This shouldn't be considered cheating Master Gu, right?

Thinking this, Lin Zhenting blinked, somewhat unable to look into Gu Yan's clear eyes, and quickly turned around: "Master Gu, thank you!"

"plz follow me."

Gu Yan nodded, exhaled a breath of stale air, and followed behind him.
