Cane...
The ruby glistening with dazzling light sits atop a black wooden stick.
Han Shang's hand grips the ruby, his mouth coldly asks, "Xue Tong, are you really going to betray me?"

A sensation of splitting pain sweeps through.
Gu Tong staggers backward, letting the device in her hand slip away.
She doesn't attack Han Shang despite losing her balance, nor does she create any illusion of causing him harm.
"Xue Tong, are you okay..." Xia Xi rushes over in two strides, grabbing Gu Tong's body.
Without a second thought, she knows that at this moment, Gu Tong must have recalled something again.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a strong reaction.
Indeed, encountering people, events, and things from the past can cause adverse stimuli, like a lingering aftereffect.
'Click--'
Beckett confirms that the little BOSS is no longer in danger, promptly cocks the laser, aiming it at Gu Tong's head.
