Qiao Lian's expression clouded over as she looked at Lu Nanze in a daze.
Lu Nanze glanced at her and then shifted his gaze to the man who spoke. "Are you speaking the truth?"
The man nodded immediately.
Lu Nanze raised his brow and said, "Meaning you believe I am who I said I am?"
The man continued to nod and said, "We're after the girl, so if you can assure us you'll turn a blind eye, we'll let you go."
Qiao Lian felt a chill inside, a strange sort of despair spreading in her heart.
But she gave a bitter smile at once.
That's right, Lu Nanze was only a friend who had grown up with her. Why should he risk his life for her?
Besides, if he stayed, both of them would be held in captivity. He might as well leave and bring men to rescue her. At least… tell Shen Liangchuan to go and rescue her-
Lu Nanze leaving now was the right choice.
