Jun Mochan stoically positioned himself in front of Song Yue: "I'm afraid that's not possible."
He didn't fancy Song Yue, nor did he harbor strong feelings for her, but he had made her a promise. In return for saving his life, he vowed to help her escape.
A man of his word, Jun Mochan wouldn't lightly renege on his pledges.
"What is your relationship with her?"
Song Yue looked at Jun Mochan expectantly, hoping he would say what she wanted to hear, even if it was a lie, it would bring her immense joy.
But she was destined to be heartbroken.
"We're close friends." That was as far as Jun Mochan was willing to go.
"Throw them overboard."
Assailants had seized both Jun Mochan and Song Yue; frightened, Song Yue pressed herself tightly to Jun Mochan.
However, she clutched the bracelet on her wrist. It was no ordinary piece of jewelry, but a modified taser.
Anyone shot with it would instantly be paralyzed, collapsing to the ground.
It was her secret weapon.
