Chapter 562: That Scary Place_1

"Perhaps things aren't as dire as you imagine."

Nangong Xu feels helpless. He couldn't stand idly by as she perished.

He did promise his father to protect her well.

How could he watch her die in front of his very eyes?

But to deceive Mr. Xiaojiu with her...

He closed his eyes; his palms clenched instantly.

Deception is the one thing he despised most in his life.

But now, he had to partake in deception with her.

"Brother..."

Suddenly, heavy footsteps echo from outside.

They drew closer and closer, until they reached this area.

Nangong Yun panicked; standing up abruptly, she hid behind Nangong Xu.

It wasn't that she couldn't fend off these men, she was just scared.

She feared that if she laid her hands on them, her ties with Mr. Xiaojiu would sever for good.

If you become an enemy of Mr. Xiaojiu, you'll find no peace in this lifetime.

Because every night, you will have nightmares, dreaming of Mr. Xiaojiu coming to you, ending your life with his own hands.
