Since he couldn't give her a proper explanation, Su Mo chose not to explain at all.
The entire situation was a mess created by the system. Even he barely understood what was happening, so how could he possibly make someone else understand it? Trying to justify himself would only dig a deeper hole.
So instead, he took the simplest route.
"I have nothing to do with Wang Cai or whatever he did to you," Su Mo said calmly.
Leng Shuang stared at him with cold suspicion.
Her sharp eyes studied his expression, searching for the slightest hint of deception. Years of living in the underworld had honed her instincts. Lies, hesitation, fear—she could usually read them instantly.
But Su Mo's face showed none of those things.
Still, that didn't mean she believed him.
"Why should I believe you?" she asked coldly.
Su Mo sighed inwardly. Dealing with stubborn people really was troublesome.
"Believe it or not, that's the truth," he said with a helpless shrug.
Then he stepped forward.
