"What conditions?" Mo Yunting frowned and looked at Lu Yu in front of him with confusion.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "That is... no matter what the final outcome between us is? I hope you can promise me to let my sister go. She is still young, really just a child!" When he said this, Lu Yu's eyes turned slightly red, and his voice couldn't help but tremble.

Mo Yunting stared at Lu Yu, and after a moment's silence, he nodded firmly and said, "Okay, I promise you." His tone was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. Because for Mo Yunting, the grudge between him and Lu Yu was limited to the two of them and would never affect innocent people.

Then, Mo Yunting couldn't help but ask again: "You seem to like your sister so much, why don't you do something open and aboveboard? Why do you have to set up that dreaded 'Shadow Organization'?" After saying that, Mo Yunting stared at Lu Yu's eyes, as if trying to find the answer from his eyes.

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Yu's lips, and that smile seemed to contain endless vicissitudes and sadness.

He tilted his head back slightly, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his mouth and spoke, "How can a young master like you, born with a silver spoon in your mouth and living a life of luxury, understand the pain that people like us go through at the bottom of society? If it weren't for that sudden and terrible accident ten years ago that left me orphaned overnight, and then orphaned and ruthlessly ostracized and oppressed by my family, how could my poor sister and I have endured such bullying and torture for so many years? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, for those of us without backgrounds and support, the only way to protect ourselves and the people most important to us is to build our own powerful forces! Those so-called principles of doing things above board are nothing but a distant and unattainable luxury in this cruel, low-class society we inhabit."

Hearing this, Mo Yunting's heart couldn't help but tremble violently. Before this, he had never known that Lu Yu had such a miserable past.

That’s right, the accident that year not only caused Lu Yu to lose his parents, but he himself also lost his beloved father forever in that incident.

Compared to the lonely and helpless Lu Yu siblings, at least he still had family to support him. Thinking of this, Mo Yunting's initially emotional mood gradually calmed down. He said solemnly, "Even if, as you said, there were so many unavoidable difficulties, you still hurt too many innocent lives."

Facing Mo Yunting's righteous accusations, Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a flicker of barely concealed guilt. He lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, then raised it again, looking at him with a firm gaze. "I understand that the mistakes I made in the past are irreversible. But now, since things have developed to this point, I am willing to bear all responsibility and consequences alone. I only ask that you keep the promise you just made."

Mo Yunting took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, as if to clear out the long-held pent-up air in his chest. He stared at Lu Yu with a firm gaze and said, "Since I've already promised you, I absolutely won't break my promise. However, there is one condition you absolutely must fulfill—immediately cease all illegal activities of the Shadow Organization! Not only that, you must also actively cooperate with the police in investigating all past cases you've been involved in."

Lu Yu clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks puffing slightly from the exertion. After a moment's silence, he finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Okay, I promise you. As long as you can ensure that my sister is safe and unharmed, I will do anything."

When he said this, there was a hint of determination and helplessness in Lu Yu's eyes.

Mo Yunting stared at Lu Yu quietly, his face brimming with determination, and an indescribable wave of complex emotions welled up within him. He knew that from this moment on, their entanglement and relationship would enter a new phase. Moreover, without realizing it, his opinion of Lu Yu had subtly shifted...
