A touch of heartlessness flashed in Geng Zhishan’s eyes which wasn’t in conformity with his face. He could handle it quickly. The dagger had been sharpened, glimmering with cold light. Only one cut was enough to kill a person.

But at that moment, Gu Yusheng murmured, and when he moved, he began to twitch uncontrollably. The blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Geng Zhishan squatted beside him and stopped the dagger at his chest instead of piercing through his clothes.

He was not a kind man, but he retreated the dagger when he remembered that Xie was very firm about taking this man with them before she slipped into a coma. Furthermore, his convulsions were abnormal.

He stretched out his hand to feel Gu Yusheng’s pulse and thought carefully, his look turning colder and colder.

‘How could it possible? Is he really a member of the clan?’

When he recalled carefully, he found that there was no such man of the same age in the clan. So who was he? His appearance was very similar to that of that person. Thus, the man either was a scapegoat or had an evil purpose. Geng Zhishan hesitated for a while and finally decided to kill him to avoid any danger in the future. As for Xie Mengxuan, there was no need to worry at all. He had his own methods to appease her.

However, just as he was about to take out the dagger again, he heard the sound of the footsteps of another person. He tried to look normal and hid the dagger quickly. Then he once again put on an honest and straightforward look.

Just at that moment, a hand pressed on his shoulders, then he heard a sound ring gravelly, “What are you doing?”

Geng Zhishan did not respond immediately. He turned his head and looked at the person with a fierce look.

The man had no clear emotions, but he did have an air of dignity around him. The corners of his thin lips bent down, as he squinted at Geng casually with his triangle eyes. The man put Geng under pressure by just staring at him.

Geng Zhishan was surprised, and he immediately showed a look of fear after he made things clear. He moved backward and said, “No, I didn’t do anything.”

The man stepped forward slowly and kicked out the dagger he had hidden on one side, “If so, what is this?”

Geng Zhishan was in a panic as if he was hesitant to speak something.

The man clasped Geng’s neck and said, “You want to kill him! You look like a sincere man, but you are so cruel!”

“You’re talking nonsense! I'm not! He stayed with my wife for two days. It’s rational that I want to kill him. What’s wrong with that?”

Geng Zhishan straightened himself and stared at the man. There was an air of disobedience around him. However, the man did not say a word and also looked into his eyes with his own gloomy ones.

After a while, Geng Zhishan began to wobble, and the man smiled, “You are a man of courage and uprightness, but you’re too timid.” The man bent down, picked up the dagger, placed it at Geng Zhishan’s face and raised his chin,, “ You can’t kill this man.”

“If I am supposed not to kill him, I won’t do it. Don’t scare me?” Geng Zhishan dodged aside and murmured.

The man seemed to be satisfied. He burst into laughter but soon controlled himself. “Where is your house? Take us there.”

Geng Zhishan immediately jumped up after hearing his words and said disdainfully, “Why do you need to go to my house? No, you can take him away, but you can’t come back home with me!”
