Chapter 3 I Once Protected The Country On Horseback

• Zhang Na felt like he had become the target of the god of death, never realizing that death could be so close to him.
• He actually dared to kill me!
• Mumbling to himself, Zhang Na was terrified, his face as pale as paper. He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, but Shen Lian acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
• The God of War must not be humiliated!
• Just when Zhang Na had lost all hope, a young child's voice suddenly rang out.
• "Daddy..."
• Boom.
• Shen Lian's head buzzed, and he came to a halt.
• Shen Nian's hoarse and weak voice was like pouring salt onto Shen Lian's wound, burning and unbearable.
• Even though he was the God of War of China, the king of the northern region, there was still a soft spot in his heart.
• He thought Shen Nian would stand up and run towards him, but to his surprise, she crawled all the way from several meters away to Shen Lian's side.
• These few meters of drag marks felt like a steel knife slashing a deep wound in his heart, causing blood to gush out.
• How... could this happen!
• Shen Lian's head heated up, and he quickly picked up Shen Nian, only to find that her legs were dangling in the air like a swing, weak and limp.
• Her legs...
• Shen Lian was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
• How could this be!?
• His daughter's legs were disabled. His eyes turned red, and his heart bled.
• "You! Tell me!"
• Shen Lian grabbed Zhang Na by the collar, and she was terrified.
• "She... she has been disabled since she was young, it... it wasn't me..."
• "What about just now? Those children who insulted her, stepped on her, humiliated her, have nothing to do with you!?" Anger surged in Shen Lian's chest, frightening Zhang Na to the point where her legs trembled uncontrollably.
• "I... I was wrong..."
• Wrong?
• "I have protected the country by killing enemies for more than seven years, and is this how you bunch of animals repay me!?"
• "Listen! In these seven years, anyone who has bullied her, insulted her, or even touched a single hair on her head, you have three seconds to get out and kneel down to apologize, otherwise I will make you regret living in this world!"
• Shen Lian tightly protected Shen Nian, standing in the snow like a statue. For a moment, the coldness pressed down on everyone's hearts like invisible snowflakes, waiting silently for that last snowflake to crush them.
• "One!"
• Shen Lian stroked Shen Nian's hair, gently wiping her cat-like face.
• "Two!"
• Shen Lian embraced Shen Nian in his arms, personally warming her hands with his breath.
• "Three..."
• Thump.
• Thump, thump.
• With a thud of knees hitting the ground, the empty snowfield was instantly filled with trembling neighbors.
• The heavy snow fell silently, suffocating everyone.
• "Shen Lian, is that you?"
• Just then, a young woman's voice came from inside the house. In an instant, Shen Lian's head felt like it had been struck by lightning, and he stood there dumbfounded like a wooden stick.
• Seven years had passed, and the voice that could only appear in his dreams finally sounded in his ears. At this moment, it felt as if time had stood still.
• He turned his head, his expression filled with excitement. "Ruoqing, I'm back!"
• Buzz.
• Liu Ruoqing's mind went blank, and a myriad of emotions flooded her breathtakingly beautiful face. From astonishment to numbness, and then to overwhelming hatred.
• It was this man who had raped her sister on the eve of her wedding, nailing her to the pillar of shame, making her the wife of a rapist for the rest of her life.
• It was also this man who had caused her to fall from grace, even losing the Heart and Blood City Group.
• And it was this man who had made her wash her face with tears countless nights, wishing to kill him every time she thought of those dark days!
• Slap.
• She raised her hand and slapped Shen Lian.
• "You bastard, what are you doing back here!"
