She spoke coolly, making her stance clear.
She would not lend a hand.
Xie Changning's adoptive brother understood her intentions, and his expression soured. He glanced at the onlookers who had stopped to watch, then gritted his teeth, dropped to his knees, and began to wail loudly.
"Second Sister, I know Dad was wrong back then, but he raised you! You can't just stand by and watch him die!"
The moment he cried out, all eyes in the crowd of onlookers fell on Xie Changning.
Their gazes were filled with blame.
Xie Changning stared at her adoptive brother kneeling before her and sighed. "I didn't want this to get so ugly, but since you're forcing my hand, I won't hold back anymore..."
Before Xie Changning could finish, the color drained from her adoptive brother's face.
He realized that she had already shown mercy by not kicking him while he was down. His actions now had thoroughly infuriated her.
