Li Zhi's eyes flew wide open when she heard Shen Yuan. She clearly hadn't expected him to bring this up.
"You! Why would you bring that up?" Li Zhi's voice trembled slightly.
Shen Yuan shrugged. "Didn't a certain someone agree to it? Since you gave your approval, why shouldn't I talk about it?"
His tone was faintly mocking. Li Zhi's expression darkened.
The beautiful girl glared at Shen Yuan, momentarily at a loss for words.
After all, she had given her tacit approval when Yang Ze and the others took Shen Yuan away for "questioning."
Just then, Shen Yuan took a sudden deep breath and said slowly, "Besides, do you know what Yang Ze said?"
Li Zhi's attention was captured. "What did he say?"
Shen Yuan fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly. "He said, 'It's not always a knife that gets stuck in you from behind.'"
Li Zhi sucked in a sharp breath.
'Okay, that threat is actually pretty terrifying.'
"But that's no reason for you to keep holding my hand."
