"Tell me, did you betray me and my father..."

When Xu Jiao said this, Wang Bin was stunned. What's going on here, how did I betray you?

Wang Bin was an incredibly clever person, otherwise, he wouldn't have risen to his current position so quickly after Xu Batian and Xu Jiao saved him a few years ago.

Although it's not just because Xu Batian saved him then, and Xu Jiao took care of him.

More of it was due to his own efforts and struggles to achieve today's success.

When Xu Batian brought him back, he let him follow the big boss at the time. If it weren't for his own capabilities, he might still be following that boss now.

However, his outstanding abilities made him want to achieve something to show Xu Jiao, to show Xu Batian, that they hadn't saved him in vain, so he constantly worked hard to improve himself and perfect everything about himself.

Only Wang Bin knew how much sweat and blood he shed, how much effort he put into Xu Batian's foundation.

And in his heart, Wang Bin was loyal to Xu Batian, despite reaching this level, he still revered Xu Batian as he did at the beginning, and towards Xu Jiao, the girl he liked from the first glimpse, he wouldn't dare to have any disrespect.

Moreover, he knew his own identity didn't match Xu Jiao's, so he wholeheartedly supported Xu Jiao, handling some troublesome aftermath for her. His loyalty hadn't changed over the years.

But hearing Xu Jiao suddenly accuse him of betrayal was unbelievable and terrifying.

"Miss, what are you talking about, when did I, Wang Bin, betray you and the boss?"

Wang Bin seemed ready to argue intensely, he could tolerate being called anything, but definitely not a traitor.

Seeing Wang Bin's somewhat defiant demeanor, Xu Jiao's expression turned cold, becoming more convinced: "Wang Bin, you dare say you haven't betrayed us, that your loyalty hasn't changed, did you ever dare talk to me like this before?"

Before, when Wang Bin spoke with Xu Jiao, even his voice was lower, speaking with his head down, not daring to look directly at Xu Jiao, barely stealing a glance.

Yet now, seeing Wang Bin dare speak to her with such firmness, Xu Jiao was further convinced.

Wang Bin had indeed betrayed them.

"I..." Faced with Xu Jiao's comment, Wang Bin was briefly lost for words.

His heart tightened. Yes, when did he dare speak to Xu Jiao so loudly and even argue back?

It was true; as Wang Bin's status rose over the years and interacted with more prominent individuals, an aura naturally developed around him, banishing previous timidity, inadvertently displaying it today.

People grow through experiences, changing as they evolve.

However, Wang Bin truly hadn't betrayed, nor did he want to betray. Even if he did, where could he go?

He certainly didn't think he possessed enough skill to challenge Xu Batian.

The longer he stayed close to Xu Batian, the more he understood the depth, the ruthlessness of Xu Batian.

Thus, he dared not betray.

"Hmph, what's wrong, silent now, huh? Did I hit the mark, feeling guilty?"

Seeing Wang Bin silent and speechless, Xu Jiao observed his constantly shifting eyes and was even more convinced he had betrayed her.

Therefore, her heart was extremely furious, yet very sorrowful.

Wang Bin was a beggar she took in when she was young, though he was her subordinate, he was treated like a brother.

Xu Jiao treated all her subordinates like family, and Wang Bin, being someone she found, was even more special.

Moreover, Wang Bin had proved himself again and again, helping Xu Jiao handle matters efficiently over the years, Xu Jiao had seen this.

Yet today, seeing Wang Bin potentially betraying her was causing her immense pain.

"Miss, I..."

Witnessing the sadness in Xu Jiao's eyes, Wang Bin panicked, unsure where she misunderstood him, unwilling to see her in distress, was heartwrenching.

Thinking hard, he gritted his teeth: "Miss, if you don't believe in me, Wang Bin, then I'll prove to you that I haven't betrayed you."

He reached back, prepared to draw his gun.

"What are you doing?" Xu Jiao was alarmed.

At this point, Wang Bin already had the gun, pointing it at his head: "Miss, you must trust Wang Bin, I dare say that in terms of loyalty under Xu Batian, no one surpasses me, and Wang Bing remembers who granted him life."

"So now that you don't believe me, I'll die proving my innocence, I absolutely haven't betrayed."

Xu Jiao was dumbfounded; she hadn't expected Wang Bing to prove his innocence through death.

Seeing Wang Bin truly about to shoot, Xu Jiao cried out repeatedly: "No, no Wang Bing, I believe you now, it's a misunderstanding."

"No, Miss, I must prove myself, my loyalty never changed."

Wang Bin spoke while actually attempting to pull the trigger.

"No, don't..."

Xu Jiao screamed.

As Wang Bin was about to pull the trigger, there was a sharp sound, a cup smashed against Wang Bing's wrist, knocking the gun away.

The shards from the shattered cup cut his hand and face, blood dripped steadily.

But Wang Bin was amazed by the man who saved him, the one he glared at before—Ye Qiu.

Seeing Ye Qiu intervene and that Wang Bin was unharmed, Xu Jiao sighed in relief, then gratefully gazed at Ye Qiu: "Thank you, Ye Qiu."

Ye Qiu waved dismissively, then faced Wang Bin, saying: "Life is precious and it's something you only have once, why waste it?"

Wang Bin frowned, glanced at Xu Jiao, observing the affection in her gaze towards Ye Qiu, feeling annoyed.

Though Ye Qiu saved him, Wang Bin was displeased, coldly saying to Ye Qiu: "Mind your own business, did I ask you to save me?"

Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes, noticed Wang Bin frequently glancing at Xu Jiao, thought briefly, and understood.

Xu Jiao also frowned, coldly addressing Wang Bin: "Wang Bin, what's wrong with you? Without Ye Qiu, you'd be dead, understand?"

Wang Bin was angry at Ye Qiu, but dared not express it to Xu Jiao, nodded respectfully, slowly rising: "Miss, what's wrong with dying if it proves my innocence, who needs unsolicited help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu was suddenly beside him, startling Wang Bin.

Ye Qiu smiled, then extended the previously knocked away gun back to Wang Bin: "Alright, weren't you wanting to die? Do it now, I won't interfere further."
