I've already said that.
I was just acting out of goodwill.
If you don't want to believe me
I won't force you.
Duanmu Ying remained silent for a moment.
She knew she had to make a decision.

Chapter 270 Time Waits for No One
"All right,
I trust you. "
She finally made her choice.
Lü Ci smiled slightly.
He knew his efforts had not been in vain.
"Then let's go."
Time waits for no one.
He urged.
Lü Ci chose to stay behind to intercept the pursuing team.
This bought Duanmu Ying time to escape.
He pointed out the escape route to Duanmu Ying.
He immediately turned to face his pursuers.
In the dark corners of the dungeon,
Lu Ci was in a standoff with the pursuing team.
His eyes revealed determination and resolve.
"Lü Ci, what are you doing?!"
The head of the Lü family led in a squad of 890 armed guards.
His voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Lu Ci calmly faced her father's questioning.
He knew now was not the time to back down.
"Father,
I was just taking a walk around here.
Is there anything I can help you with?
He asked, feigning innocence.
The head of the Lü family frowned even more deeply:
"Do you think I don't know you're helping that Duanmu Ying?!"
Lu Ci's heart stirred.
But he still pretended to be innocent:
"Duanmu Ying?"
I...I don't know what you're talking about.
A flash of anger crossed the eyes of the Lu family head.
He knew Lü Ci was lying.
But he had no time to investigate at that moment.
He ordered his men to immediately search every corner of the surrounding area.
Searching for traces of Duanmu Ying.
Lu Ci stood in front of the search team.
Stop them from advancing.
"Father,
I'm just taking a walk here.
What you're doing is an insult to me!
His voice was firm and resolute.
He was determined to buy Duanmu Ying more time to escape.
The pursuit team stopped.
They knew that Lü Ci was the son of the Lü family head.
It's not easy to take action.
But their eyes were filled with anger and discontent.
They knew in their hearts,
Lü Ci's actions may bring even greater trouble to the Lü family.
"Lu Ci, what are you doing?"
A guard angrily questioned him.
Lü Ci smiled slightly:
"I was just defending my rights."
Is this also wrong?
His voice exuded an air of fearlessness.
Faced with Lü Ci's resolute attitude, the pursuit team
Ultimately, they chose to back down.
The search has been temporarily suspended.
Lu Ci felt a sense of relief.
He knew he had bought himself a little time.
Hopefully, Duanmu Ying can escape successfully.
"You can leave now."
Lü Ci gestured to Duanmu Ying,
A hint of concern was revealed in his voice.
Duanmu Ying nodded.
She looked at Lü Ci gratefully.
Then they hurriedly left the dungeon.
They ran in the direction Lü Ci had indicated.
Lü Ci remained in the dungeon.
They prepared to continue their standoff with the pursuing team.
Lü Ci chose to stick to her position.
He did not back down even when faced with his father's anger and the siege of his clan.
He stood at the entrance to the dungeon.
His gaze remained steadfast as he stared intently at the pursuing group before him.
He exuded an unwavering aura.
“Lu Ci,
What are you thinking?
The head of the Lü family's voice was filled with anger and incomprehension.
Lü Ci did not answer.
He knew he had made his choice.
No longer a puppet of the Lü family
Rather, it is an individual with independent thought and action.
He was unwilling to passively accept the constraints imposed by the Lü family.
Instead, they stick to what they believe is the right path.
"You are betraying the family!"
The voice of the Lu family head became increasingly sharp.
He couldn't accept that his son was so rebellious.
Lü Ci's gaze was firm.
He did not avoid his father's gaze:
"I'm just sticking to my beliefs."
I don't see this as betrayal.

The pursuing team began to gradually close in on Lü Ci.
They were armed.
His gaze was filled with hostility and a sense of oppression.
however,
Lü Ci did not back down at all.
He is prepared to prove his choice through his actions.
"What are you doing?"
A member of the tribe stepped forward.
They questioned the pursuing team.
"We are doing this for the benefit of the family!"
The leader of the pursuit team spoke in a cold and arrogant voice.
"Lü Ci betrayed the family."
We must bring him to justice.
"But he was just sticking to his beliefs!"
Another member of the clan spoke out in support of Lü Ci.
Within the Lü family
