“Pingting, I really didn’t mean to do it. I was blinded by jealousy! Please forgive me this once! You’re my sister. If you forgive me and withdraw your charges, the police won’t pursue me. I swear I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life if you do it! Pingting!”

Wu Pingting glared at Wu Zongxu and enunciated each word clearly as she said, “I’ll hire the best lawyer I can find and have the judge give you the heaviest sentence he can. I’ll make sure that you and Xu Yunyun will never be able to get out of prison. I’ll let you see how happy and blissful I’ll be in the future! But if you tell me how you hurt uncle, I’ll consider forgiving you.”

Wu Zongxu shook his head in pain. With a sad face, he said, “Pingting, I did hire a murderer to kidnap you, but I already told you that the original intention was not to hurt you but to show you how much I loved you! I didn’t do anything to you! Xu Yunyun made that decision on her own. We’ve been brother and sister for so long. Don’t you know what kind of person I am? You can’t blame everything on me just because I made a mistake! Dad is so good to me. How could I ever harm him? I’m an orphan. If not for him, I wouldn’t be where I am right now. Even if you think with your toes, you shouldn’t suspect me any more than any servant from the Wu family! If something happens to Dad, what would I do?”

With that, Wu Zongxu looked at Elder Wu again. Kneeling on the ground, he pleaded, “Grandpa, please spare me this time on account of my pure heart for Pingting! I’ll definitely treat Pingting well in the future! I’ll be filial to you and to Dad! Even though I don’t know what happened to dad, no matter what happened, I’ll be filial to him. Grandpa, I’m Dad’s only son. Do you have the heart to see that you’ll be taking his only child away from him? When he grows old, he won’t have anyone to take care of him!”

“Wu Zongxu, don’t worry. There are many people who’ll take care of Uncle, like Pingting and I! Even if we grow old and have kids in the future, Uncle will definitely not be alone.”

Wu Zongyang deliberately mentioned children to see the expression on Wu Zongxu’s face at his words.

The Wu family members, as well as Chi Yang, Nuannuan, and Sze Lingyun, were just as curious as Wu Zongyang.

However, everyone was surprised to learn that Wu Zongxu was someone who could control his expressions very well. No matter how much the Wu family tried to trick or threaten him, he did not reveal a single hint of the fact that he had framed Wu Jingzhong. When Wu Zongyang mentioned children, he acted as if he had not heard it at all. He did not have a sneer, ridicule, or slight expression of contempt on his face.

The Wu family members could not help but break out into a cold sweat.

Not only did Wu Zongxu have a twisted personality and was a pervert, but he was also a criminal with a high IQ. Both police officers and soldiers equally hated encountering men like him.

“Since he doesn’t want to say anything, let’s go. There’s no need to waste time on scum.” Wu Jingmin hated Wu Zongxu to the core. She was afraid that if she continued to stay here, she would not be able to resist hurting me.

The Wu family members did not look at him again as they walked out one after another.

Wu Zongxu was a little dumbfounded when he saw that they were going to leave after arriving. His whole body felt terrible. He shouted at Elder Wu…
