This situation was completely out of his control. How could they have known this man loved that girl this much? If they'd known, they never would have dared attack her.
"I don't... guh... I swear... I only ordered them to scare her... cough... not to kill her!" His voice cracked under the weight crushing his chest and the panic strangling his spine. "I don't know where they got the real poison! The one I gave them was just supposed to cause diarrhea, it was meant for my brother, not her..."
If he didn't speak up, he would die here. He didn't want to die, he still had a future waiting for him ahead.
Mu Yunchen's lips twisted into a cruel smirk. He crouched down slowly, bringing his face close to Fenghao's, gazing into those terrified, bloodshot eyes.
Mu Yunchen's own eyes were so cold they could freeze blood in veins.
"Scare her?" he echoed, his voice producing a low, dangerous hiss as he squinted.
