Chapter 121: You're ruthless enough, but I like it

Lian Xinying felt like her whole body was on fire.

Without time to think about what had happened, she took off running.

Upon hearing the shouts, Ji Fan immediately ran out from the alley.

He saw the panic-stricken Lian Xinying and a short distance away, a trembling criminal clutching his lower half and crying in agony.

"What... what did you do to him?" Ji Fan noticed the bloodied knife in Lian Xinying's hand.

His eyes instantly deepened.

If he had known she was this fierce, he wouldn't have underestimated her all this time.

Although he hadn't shown it, he had inwardly thought of her as a pushover.

"He, he put a knife to my neck and wanted to use me to threaten you, to avenge his brother... I didn't want to drag you into this, so I..." Lian Xinying's small mouth trembled slightly, and in her flickering gaze, nervousness and fear were clearly visible.

This was the first time she used a controlled knife, and only heaven knew the psychological struggle she had just been through.
