Locking away my heart and love! Going back to 2000 to be a top student again.

Xu Hao was lifted up by two bodyguards, the tape over his mouth was ripped off, he was trembling all over, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Zhou Mochen.

Xu Su looked at her cousin, Xu Hao, who, perhaps because of his young age, hadn't been beaten and had no injuries on his face.

She walked over and held out her hand to Xu Hao: "Give me back my watch."

Xu Hao wasn't afraid of her at all, but considering Zhou Mochen was there, he no longer dared to be as arrogant as he was that morning. He was terrified, and his voice was trembling: "On my wrist."

Upon hearing this, one of his bodyguards pressed Xu Hao's hands onto the dining table, rolled up his sleeves, and revealed the rose gold watch on his left wrist, which gleamed under the light.

Once he held the watch in his hands, Xu Hao realized how exquisite its quality was. Even without knowing the exact price, he knew it was definitely not cheap. The thought of having something in his pocket taken away felt like a piece of his own flesh was being torn apart, but he dared not show it on his face.

Zhou Mochen raised an eyebrow and walked over. He took the watch from the bodyguard, glanced at it, and chuckled, "So you weren't telling the truth after all. Well, I'll give you another chance. Tell me how this ended up in your hands."

Xu Hao trembled all over, his eyes looking at Xu Su, hoping she could cover for him, and he stammered, "It was... my cousin gave it to me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Mochen couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed Xu Su's arm and pulled her behind him, then took a step forward. A flash of white light appeared in his hand, and Xu Hao's mouth was covered by the burly man holding him down from behind. His screams still escaped through the gaps in the man's fingers.

It's chilling to listen to...

Xu Su's pupils dilated instantly as she watched Zhou Mochen pierce Xu Hao's palm with a dagger. Half of the blade, at least one centimeter long, went through his palm and embedded itself in the wooden table.

Xu Weiguo and Yang Yun, their mouths taped shut, made a 'mmm' sound and tried to rush over, but were firmly pressed to the ground and made to kneel by two bodyguards.

The rest of the Xu family were so frightened by this scene that they collapsed to the ground, unable to cry out, and could only shake their heads desperately while shedding tears.

Zhou Mochen glanced back at Xu Su and said, "If you're scared, go wait in the car."

He had a few drops of Xu Hao's blood on his hands, and he was just taking the wet wipe Huang Chao handed him to wipe them dry. His profile was cold and hard under the light, but his eyes were calm and unwavering.

Huang Chao walked over and gestured to Xu Su: "Miss Xu, please."

With his back pressed down by the bodyguard, Xu Weiguo, kneeling on the ground, somehow mustered the strength to crawl two steps. He looked at Xu Su with tears streaming down his face and pleading eyes, as if afraid that she would really leave and no one could stop this living devil.

Xu Su: "...I'm not afraid."

She could have confidently said that she had seen Zhou Mochen in all his forms, but this was the first time she had ever seen him use a knife. His decisiveness shocked her quite a bit, and she only came to her senses when Huang Chao came over.

Zhou Mochen glanced at her again, but didn't press the matter further.

He reached in and pulled the dagger that had pierced the table, leaving a visible wound.

Xu Hao's face turned deathly pale with pain, his limbs were firmly held down, like a beast struggling on the verge of death.

Zhou Mochen tossed the dagger to the bodyguard beside him, then suddenly grabbed Xu Hao's hair, forcing him to look up. "I don't have much patience. If you dare to tell another lie, I'll chop off one of your fingers, understand?"

Xu Hao nodded frantically, and the bodyguard behind him released his hand from his mouth.

His lips trembled, and he didn't even dare to cry out in pain; tears and snot streamed down his face: "...It was...it was stolen from my cousin..."

"That sounds more like the truth."

Zhou Mochen tapped the table lightly: "What did you all do this morning? Who smashed her phone? What did you all say? Recount it all, word by word."

Xu Hao's face turned ashen. Even if he was stupid, he knew how outrageous those words he had spoken that morning were. He couldn't help but want to look at Xu Su, hoping that his cousin could plead for him.

After only a moment's hesitation, the bodyguard who had taken Zhou Mochen's dagger suddenly covered Xu Hao's mouth again and chopped off his index finger with a swift motion. "Speak quickly, and get him to the hospital within half an hour. This finger can still be reattached. If you keep looking around, I'll cripple your other hand too."

Xu Su clenched her fists tightly, trying to suppress a scream.

The next second, Zhou Mochen covered her eyes, saying, "Don't be soft-hearted. Come on, I'll take you out first."

Xu Su refused to leave; she grabbed Zhou Mochen's hand and insisted on staying.

On the other side, Xu Hao was in so much pain that his eyes rolled back, and he didn't even have the strength to howl anymore. He no longer fantasized that Xu Su would plead for him. He spoke in a trembling voice and recounted everything that had happened that morning.

As a student, Xu Hao had a decent memory and was very careful not to miss anything.

The term 'mistress' appeared several times.

Zhou Mochen listened quietly, his eyes growing increasingly dark. When he heard Old Mrs. Xu say, "If you want to sell it, then sell it," he finally lost control of his expression. His jaw muscles tightened and twitched slightly, but he forced himself to continue listening.

"My second uncle was about to slap her again, but my eldest uncle stopped him. Then my cousin ran out on her own..." Xu Hao finished recounting the incident, his body drenched in cold sweat and his face deathly pale.

The hall was silent. Zhou Mochen gave no further instructions for a long time, and no one dared to make any rash moves.

Huang Chao silently took a half step back and shrank into the corner. He really couldn't understand what the Xu family was thinking and how they could do something so outrageous.

Finally, Zhou Mochen released Xu Su's hand, walked to Xu Weiping, squatted down, slowly peeled off the tape from his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Which hand hit the person?"

He opened his palm, and the bodyguard behind him understood and handed him a small knife.

Xu Weiping's complexion was not much better than Xu Hao's; his face was as white as paper, his lips trembled, and he shook his head in fear, unable to utter a single word.

Zhou Mochen waited a few seconds, then completely lost his patience: "Fine, you don't have to say anything, but leave both your hands behind."

"No!" Xu Su was startled and hurriedly ran over to stop him.

Xu Weiping's face, which had been filled with despair, suddenly lit up with hope. Like a prisoner whose life had been spared, he grabbed Xu Su's leg and said, "It was Dad's fault, I was wrong, save me, daughter, please save me."

Chen Shulan and the others nearby were also excited and wanted to move over.

Zhou Mochen stopped what he was doing, and without turning his head, raised his chin in Huang Chao's direction, "Take her out."

"No!" Xu Su stood straight, looking at Zhou Mochen's squatting back: "No matter how unwilling I am to admit it, he is still my biological father. Zhou Mochen, please let him go this time, okay? Consider it as me repaying their kindness in giving birth to me. From now on, I will have nothing to do with them."

She refused to leave, so Huang Chao didn't dare to force himself on her...

Xu Su also felt that she was a saint, but she really couldn't bear to watch Xu Weiping have his hands crippled.

Even though Xu Su no longer has any feelings for the Xu family, and even though she resents Xu Weiping for almost deafening her with a slap, she still can't stand by and watch her biological father have his hands crippled by her boyfriend.

What kind of person has she become?!
