"Of course, you can deny all this, so let's take a step back: if it weren't for those past events, you wouldn't be clinging to me like a plaster patch, trying to trick me into meeting you just to ask for a 'favor'.

But if you could get me face-to-face, the odds of me returning good for evil would shoot way up, wouldn't they?"
Every single word from Ye Chen hit Old Ye, Liu Chengjiang, right in the chest like a hammer blow.
And not just Liu Chengjiang.
