Wait for Me to Rouse (12)

Gu Yusheng's fingers quivered as he held onto his cigarette.

Fear from the thought of what could have happened to her turned into a fury that coursed through his entire body.

Equally enraged was Xiaowang, who was seated beside him. "This is utterly inhumane! To think that they aren't afraid of retribution when they commit such a heinous atrocity!"

Brother Li's assistant could not take back what he'd said.

Noticing Gu Yusheng's continued silence, Mr. Xia turned and looked at him before asking, "Mr. Gu, how do you intend to settle this?"

Gu Yusheng's eyes narrowed, whether due to anger or an aching heart, and he was unable to speak.

After waiting for some time, Mr. Xia continued to say, "Mr. Gu, with regard to this Li character, I could settle the issue if you would like—" 

"There's no need to!"

Gu Yusheng's curt outburst cut short Mr. Xia's speech and the sharpness in his voice gave Mr. Xia a shock.
