Chapter 571: Let her go
"I’m not sure what you mean by that." Xiehan maintained his nonchalance as he denied her claim.
"It has to be you!" She insisted. "I asked Luna to find her location and she found that she is still in B City. Are you saying that Luna is lying?"
Lanni cursed inwardly while Xiehan clenched his fists. He would never have expected her to seek Luna’s help first before coming to him. She probably already suspected him, which is why she went to Luna first and was only trying to trap him.
" Well, programmers can’t always be accurate." He cooked up an excuse that even he found ridiculous.
"Just stop. Are you going to claim that since you are not as well versed in programming as Luna is, you cannot be as accurate as she is?" She laughed in ridicule. "Lies don’t look good on you, cousin. This is the part when you admit everything."
He remained silent, which prompted her to push. "Is it because of the enmity between her and Lanni?"
"Shishi," Lanni tried to calm her down only to be interrupted.
"I’m not speaking to you right now, Lanni."
"I can’t believe you would do this. I thought she was like a mother to you. Heck, I thought that no matter who was capable of hurting her, you would never do anything to harm her." She burst into tears.
"There is a reason why I held her captive. But I can promise you that she will not be harmed. I only want to scare her into admitting what she did."
"Admitting what she did?" Xiaoshi scoffed. "I can’t believe you would even have the guts to say such a thing. She is your aunt, cousin!"
