Xu Ke stared at her quietly.
When she came to her senses, the color drained from Qian Hong's face until it was ashen. "I... I'll give you the evidence."
"Please, spare me."
…
After a moment, a pale-faced Qian Hong pulled the scissors out and sat back down, silent.
I get it now, she thought. I've walked right into the tiger's den. Xu Ke might seem harmless, but he's vicious. He'd talk about killing you and act before you could even react. If I confront the Li Family, the worst that could happen is I get driven out of Tianhai. But if I don't give Xu Ke this evidence, I'll lose my life. As for whether Xu Ke gets caught for killing me… what the hell does this world have to do with me after I'm dead?!
Xu Ke watched her, also remaining silent.
There was no way to make Qian Hong submit without getting tough. Of course, I deliberately missed with the scissors just now. Otherwise, there'd be nothing left to discuss.
"So, what's your decision?" Xu Ke asked coolly.
