Chapter 140 Turning into a Joke
Chen Hongwei clutched at the lifeline like a drowning man, hastily chiming in, "Yes, yes, no wonder I couldn’t remember these things. It turns out it was during the meal that Lin Zhiyi arranged last time. She got me drunk to wring these words out of me. How could that be considered legitimate?" Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat, her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out, as if she was frozen in place by an invisible force.
She still hadn’t considered everything thoroughly.
She had anticipated that Chen Hongwei would deny everything, but she hadn’t expected him to admit to his words in such a manner.
Gong Yan elegantly stepped down from the stage and walked over to Lin Zhiyi, extending his hand.
"Zhiyi, I believe you wouldn’t steal the sapphire, there must be some misunderstanding here. Trust me, I will help you."
What a clever move to advance by retreating.
Lin Zhiyi glared at him angrily, but even so, he was still smiling.
He stared at her, his gaze sweeping across her face, then finally landed on her scarf and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he whispered, "Zhiyi, you can’t outwit me. In this world, truth and lies aren’t just about evidence, but also about who is speaking. No one will believe you, and even your younger uncle can’t help you now. You can only rely on me."
