Now that he'd been called out, he didn't seem flustered in the slightest. He didn't even shift his position, still leaning lazily against the tree trunk as he gave a faint nod. "Ran into a few nuisances on the road. Just took care of them, that's all."
Mingye pressed his lips together, his eyes flickering for a moment, but in the end, he didn't ask any more questions.
He knew Rong Kai had always been decisive and ruthless. Once he made a move, he would never leave anyone alive.
It was better to feign ignorance than to pry for details and risk getting into trouble.
Xuyue and Qiu Ye stood at the edge of the crowd, a few steps apart from each other, but their gazes both landed on Lan Jin, who was lying on the stretcher.
The two wore different expressions, but their thoughts were almost identical.
Xuyue muttered under his breath, his tone dripping with jealousy, "Don't tell me this guy wants to be Ayuan's partner too? What the hell."
