"...I don't know." The adjutant's eyes darted around, not daring to look at Gu Yao. Usually unafraid of facing enemy fire, he now found himself sweating in his palms from the questioning.
After all, this wasn't a trivial matter. If Miss Gu discovered something, the boss might just have his head.
"How many years have you been by Shangguan Yu's side?"
"...Why does Miss Gu ask that?" The adjutant still didn't dare to meet Gu Yao's eyes.
"I remember when I met Shangguan Yu, you weren't his adjutant yet."
"Miss Gu, you must be mistaken..."
Knowing Gu Yao was trying to get information out of him, the adjutant became more cautious.
But Gu Yao had miscalculated this time; he indeed followed Shangguan Yu earlier than she did.
Gu Yao's tear-stained eyes fixated on the adjutant, trying to catch a hint of a slip from his face.
Yet, she was left disappointed.
Did he say that because he knew she was trying to trick him, or was this just the reality?
