She panicked and hurriedly clenched her Mizhu, quickly turning away.
She tried to sound calm: "...I won't disappoint you."
.
Yanqing watched her back, a slight smile tugging at his lips.
"Actually, I have something to discuss with you: the cases of Nisha and Zhou Guanghan's murders are being investigated together, and I might need to leave you for a while."
"Oh?" Shi Nian was startled, quickly turning around.
Her gaze instinctively climbed up to meet his eyes, filled with urgency.
"Then, who will protect me?"
He slowly clenched the hand behind his back.
At this moment, his heart was pounding.
But he could only remain calm, diverting his gaze to glance at Jia Tianzi.
"Didn't you once feel a connection with Mr. Jia? Naturally, he'll take my place."
Shi Nian glanced at Jia Tianzi, a flash of disappointment quickly passing in her eyes. She swiftly concealed it, offering a awkward smile: "Uh, alright."
