Nangong Zhao was a man Jiang Jichen had long wanted to kill. He had repeatedly tried to harm him.
Every time they met, Nangong Zhao would target him, acting high and mighty and constantly taunting him with cold sarcasm.
Moreover, Hua Xiaoling had once told him that while they were traveling together, Nangong Zhao had tried several times to send her to Nangong Jinjie's bed. She had only preserved her chastity by resisting with her life on the line.
Had it only been directed at him, Jiang Jichen wouldn't have cared so much.
But for him to dare treat Hua Xiaoling that way... that was an unforgivable sin.
Jiang Jichen could imagine Hua Xiaoling's despair and helplessness when she was being threatened.
Most of the time, Hua Xiaoling put on a bold, cheerful front, seeming as if she couldn't care less about anything.
But in reality, she cared deeply. She just didn't want to show it.
For instance, she desperately wanted to kill Nangong Zhao—to kill him on the spot.
