The air was dead silent.

After a long moment, Ning Xi swallowed with great difficulty and tried to change the topic by running her mouth off, Haha Big Boss, your shooting skills are amazing! Impressive, impressive! Youre just a little too wasteful! That vase must have been pretty expensive, right?

Lu Tingxiaos eyes were cold: If you dont want to speak of it, you dont have to.

Ning Xis head drooped downwards in a disheartened manner, But you look like youre going to break off all ties with me if I dont confess everything, youre not being honest at all

Other than confessing everything, was there a second option for her?

Ning Xi sighed and could only choose to explain the sequence of events to him, Didnt I tell you before that something went wrong with the prop and I accidentally hurt Ning Xueluo? Right now, the prop master is insisting on saying that I bribed him to switch the props. Isnt that forcing me into a dead end? If he sticks to his confession, it wont just be my career that will be ruined, Ill even have to go to jail!

Lu Tingxiao looked at her calmly, So?

Ning Xi coughed lightly and stalled, So I went to force that guy to speak the truth!

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, storm clouds were gathering on Lu Tingxiaos face, Ning Xi, do you know how dangerous it was for you to do that? As a girl

Ning Xi covered her head and said, I know, I know! But wasnt I forced into it? You dont know what that Zhang Qiang is like, hes a scoundrel! I can only use simple violence to deal with that kind of person!

Ive said before that you can look for me if you need any help. You chose to use such a dangerous method, before even coming to ask me for help? Lu Tingxiaos eyes were filled with grave disappointment.

That gaze unexpectedly made her heart clench in pain.

This was the first time Lu Tingxiao had gotten so angry with her. Ning Xis face was full of anxiety, No, its not like that! I

Finally, feeling like she was going to have a headache, she sighed, Im just used to it

Used to solving everything by herself. Used to not relying on others.

The two of them sunk into silence again.

Um, but, how did you know that I had a gun on me? Ning Xi abruptly recalled this matter and asked suspiciously.

The smell. Lu Tingxiao answered coldly.

Uh, so thats how! Was it the smell of gunpowder? I didnt realise that even your sense of smell is so strong, Big Boss! Hehehe

Lu Tingxiaos expression remained as cold as ice, the kind that had been frozen for a thousand years.

Her flattery had failed.

Ning Xi had an expression of complete helplessness, Lu Tingxiao, its not that I didnt want to ask you for help. Theres just no need for you to personally take action for small matters like these. Isnt it like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly? However, right now, I do have something that I really, really need your help with! You really have to help me this time, please please please! I kept thinking about it, and youre the only one I can turn to for this! So even if youre not willing to help me, Ill definitely keep disturbing you!

This time, although his expression remained frosty, he finally looked her in the eye, Speak.

Ning Xi heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly spoke up, Its like this! Although I finally got Zhang Qiangs confession, and the emails and bank transfer details from the mastermind, all this evidence can only clear my innocence, but I wont be able to find the mastermind.

It wouldnt be very gentlemanly of me if I didnt take revenge for this grudge. Letting the mastermind off so easily would be such a waste! So I was thinking, is there any way that you could decode the masterminds account details and IP address?

Big boss, it must have been thanks to your genes that Darling Little Treasure is already so clever at such a young age! So Big Boss must be even more impressive at computers and such. Im sure you have some way to do that, right?
