Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door.

Zhao Ce was delighted and secretly proud in his heart: "Finally here."

However, the people who pushed the door open were not Lin Ruoxuan, but Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen. They walked straight into the private room with sullen faces.

The joy on Zhao Cezhi's face froze in an instant and turned pale.

He subconsciously wanted to leave, but was blocked at the door by Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen on both sides.

"Where do you want to go, Lord Zhao?" Gu Nanyuan's voice was low and majestic, and his eyes were full of oppression.

Zhao Cezhi pretended to be calm and tried to get rid of the two people's control: "Master Gu, Master Qi, what are you doing? I am afraid that my presence here has nothing to do with you, right?"

Qi Zeshen smiled coldly, stretched out his hand and pushed Zhao Cezhi back to the chair, and said coldly: "Where is the evidence? Didn't you say that there is evidence that can clear our family's grievances? Take it out now."

Zhao Cezhi's expression changed slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit it: "What evidence? Did you misunderstand? I just want to take this opportunity to meet Miss Lin Ba. There is no evidence at all."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Gu Nanyuan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Without saying anything, he raised his hand and punched Zhao Cezhi in the face.

Zhao Cezhi felt pain and cried out while covering his face: "You dare to do that?"

"Not only do I dare to do it, I also dare to let you die here right now." Gu Nanyuan's voice was as cold as a knife, and his words were full of threats. His fist hit Zhao Cezhi's abdomen heavily again.

Zhao Cezhi was beaten so hard that he curled up in a chair, his face pale, but he still said stubbornly: "There is no evidence, I have no evidence at all! You can kill me if you want, I just want Miss Lin to come and see me!"

Gu Nanyuan snorted coldly, grabbed his collar and pulled him up, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Do you think you can get away with it? You used these despicable means to force her to compromise, do you really think you can get away with it? I tell you, Zhao Cezhi, if you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, the consequences will not be something you can bear!"

After saying that, he threw Zhao Cezhi back onto the chair with such force that Zhao Cezhi's body trembled and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Qi Zeshen stood aside, his face gloomy and his eyes full of anger.

He took a step forward and swung his fist to hit Zhao Cezhi's face fiercely: "How dare you use my family's injustice as a bargaining chip? You are seeking death!"

Zhao Cezhi's mouth was bleeding from Qi Zeshen's fist, and he looked very embarrassed, but he still clenched his teeth tightly and refused to let go: "I really don't have any evidence! All this is to see Miss Lin, I have no other purpose!"

Qi Zeshen's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent. He looked at Zhao Cezhi coldly: "Do you think I will let you go? You dare to use my father's reputation to achieve your despicable goals. Do you think I will let you go easily?"

Zhao Cezhi endured the pain, blood on the corner of his mouth, but he still insisted: "There is no evidence! I don't have it at all! If you don't believe it, then kill me!"

Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen looked at each other and knew in their hearts that Zhao Cezhi was just delaying time. Since he dared to use Qi Sijun's injustice as a bargaining chip, he must have something in his hand, but he was just unwilling to hand it over.

Gu Nanyuan sneered contemptuously, and said in a sharp tone: "Zhao Cezhi, today's matter is not over yet. Do you think you can get away with it by playing these tricks? Don't dream."

Qi Zeshen threatened in a low voice: "If you don't hand over the evidence, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhao Cezhi's face was pale and his expression was full of fear, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to compromise.

Once he hands over the evidence, he will no longer have a foothold and his death will be even more miserable.

However, his persistence only made Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen more annoyed.

Gu Nanyuan said coldly: "You don't want to hand it over? Then you'd better be prepared to bear the consequences!"

After saying that, Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen turned around and left. Before leaving, they turned back and glanced coldly at Zhao Cezhi, who was beaten badly: "Don't think you can escape this disaster."

Watching them walking away, Zhao Cezhi covered his chest, gasping violently, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

At this time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Before he could react, the door was suddenly pushed open and Lin Ruoting rushed in with anger.

"Zhao Cezhi!" Lin Ruoting shouted angrily, and when she saw Zhao Cezhi's appearance, she became even more furious.

She walked up quickly and slapped Zhao Cezhi hard in the face.

Zhao Cezhi had just been beaten, and now he was slapped by Lin Ruoting, and his cheek was burning with pain.

He covered his face and glared at Lin Ruoting angrily: "Are you crazy?!"

"Am I crazy? Zhao Cezhi, what do you mean? You are with me, but you are still thinking about Lin Ruoxuan? What do you think of me?"

Lin Ruoting's eyes were red, and her tone was full of anger and grievance, "I have done so much for you, betrayed my family, and abandoned everything, and in return you still think about someone else?"

Zhao Cezhi was already upset because of the beating he had just received from Gu Nanyuan and Qi Zeshen, and now Lin Ruoting's disturbance made him even more upset.

With a cold face, he fiercely shook off Lin Ruoting's hand and said in annoyance: "I never promised you anything. It was you who insisted on sticking to me. So what if you like Lin Ruoxuan? She is a hundred times better than you."

These words were like a knife, piercing deeply into Lin Ruoting's heart.

She was trembling, tears welling up in her eyes, her lips trembling, and she looked at Zhao Cezhi in disbelief: "You...how can you say that? I gave up everything for you, and now you say you like Lin Ruoxuan?"

Zhao Cezhi's eyes were filled with indifference and impatience. He no longer concealed his true thoughts and said coldly, "It is a fact that I like Lin Ruoxuan. If you can accept it, then accept it. If you can't accept it, then leave and stop pestering me."

Lin Ruoting's face turned pale and tears instantly rolled down her cheeks. She bit her lips tightly, hardly daring to believe what she heard.

She always thought that she was Zhao Cezhi's only one. Even though she knew that he had a crush on Lin Ruoxuan, she always convinced herself that Zhao Cezhi would slowly forget the past.

However, Zhao Cezhi's words completely shattered her fantasy.

"You are such a heartless man!" Lin Ruoting complained in a hoarse voice, "I have nothing but you. What should I do when you treat me like this? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this today!"

Zhao Cezhi sneered, his eyes became even colder: "Don't act so pathetically. You know your current situation, and you know that you are nothing without me. You still want to die with me? What a joke! Don't be naive, you are just a pawn for me to achieve my goal, don't take yourself too seriously."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Lin Ruoting's head. She suddenly felt blank, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
