Chapter 105 - How Much Hatred

"What, you don't want to admit it?" Lin Feng let go of his collar and adjusted his cuffs.

"She was kidnapped," Huo Jinqi said.

"Bullsh*t!" Even someone as polite and well-mannered as Lin Feng couldn't help but swear.

"You dare say she was kidnapped?

"If you all had not abandoned her, how could she have been discovered by my master? She would have died there two days later, do you know that?"

Lin Feng clenched his fists and looked into Huo Jinqi's eyes.

"Since she survived, she is now Xing Jiuan.

"Huo Jinqi, if you have… even the slightest bit of guilt, you should stay away from her forever and never get close to her."

"Tell me clearly. What do you mean she was abandoned?" Huo Jinqi asked again.

"Don't you know?

"Ask your parents.

"Ask them why they abandoned her."

He knew there were many cruel parents.

Mu Qing's was like that too. His mother had jumped off a building, and he had found evidence of his father's crimes and sent him to prison.

However, Xing Jiuan was not even three years old back then. She was an obedient and pretty little girl. She was so smart and outstanding that no one in the entire sect disliked her.

How could her parents bear it? How could they!

A little girl would usually make others panic when she was unhappy. However, when she cried and begged her parents not to abandon her, she was still abandoned in that remote and deserted place.

The surroundings were filled with forest and vegetation. There was no one around. If Master had not gone to a faraway place as usual to pick wild herbs, no one would have discovered Xing Jiuan even if she had died there.

There were wild beasts there as well. No one knew if the little girl, who was not even three years old at that time, had seen or heard the roars of wild beasts.

How much hatred was there?

Even if they really didn't want her anymore, sending her to the orphanage should have been good enough.

Throwing her in a place like that, did they want her to starve to death or be eaten by wild beasts?

How could such terrifying people be parents?

Thinking back on that, Lin Feng still could not help but tremble with rage.

"Huo Jinqi, if your family feels even a tinge of guilt toward her, you should not disturb her again."

"Lin Feng, make things clear. What on earth happened?"

"I've made myself very clear.

"You're murderers. Or at least, you all attempted to kill.

"Xing Jiuan was lucky not to have been killed.

"Why are you all looking for her now?

"You want to harm my little junior sister?

"I'm telling you, don't even think about it.

"Even if I die, I will protect her."

"Yanyan is the child that our entire family has been looking forward to for a long time. Why would we harm her?" Huo Jinqi could not help but ask.

"After Yanyan was kidnapped, my grandparents were sent to the hospital. My grandmother almost couldn't get through that winter.

"My mother kneels in front of the Buddha statue and prays for Yanyan every day.

"My father went out to look for her for days without rest. He was so tired that he was unconscious for two days.

"You can say we're irresponsible, but you can't say we hurt her or that we don't love her."

Huo Jinqi's voice was hoarse. "Yanyan is the treasure of the Huo family. What we want to give her is everything good.

"Lin Feng, don't slander us."

Upon hearing Huo Jinqi's words, Lin Feng fell silent.

He had seen the truth with his own eyes. However, he also knew Huo Jinqi's character. Moreover, there was no need for him to say that.

"Don't try to lie to me."

"Why would I lie to you?"
