Chapter 177: Secret aid
Jia dragged Mingshen out of the room and stared at his black eyes, trying to find deceit in them. "You..."
Mingshen beamed. "I cannot believe that you would pull me out of the room like this. Did you suddenly crave for some romance, my dear?"
He grinned and took a steamy step closer, flailing his arms wide. "Come and jump for a hug right in~ My arms always welcome you."
Jia placed her firm palm on his chest, putting a stop to his unneeded enthusiasm. She didn’t break eye contact or her expression. "So you are serious when you say that you will deal with Dong Haoyu."
"Did you perhaps think I was joking my dear?"
Her eyes narrowed. "Don’t take me for a fool, Mingshen! Right when Dong Haoyu is supposed to be arrested, something like this happens. Sounds awfully convenient. Did you...did you plan this?"
He cocked his brow up. "How come everything is shady for you? I got no involvement here. My new assistant was shot. What did I do here?"
"Maybe you roped in Shilin in your plan. And how difficult will it be for you to get a gun inside anyway? The more I think about this, the more this doesn’t feel right."
She kept her gaze fixed at Mingshen, unable to discern his intentions.
Your humanity and duty are at crossroads now, am I not right Spicy?
The moment she heard of Mingshen’s declaration of taking Dong Haoyu’s custody with him, alarm bells rang in her mind. She instinctively wondered if everything was actually going according to his plan. She felt it in her gut but didn’t have any evidence to prove it.
