"Your friend… Hao Jiao Long. He threatened me."

It's as if the blood from Pan An's face drained away. With him turning pale with the sudden inclusion of his friend with whom they can no longer contact, he didn't know what to say, nor how to react.

"What?"

Ruo Xi tried her best to fight back the forming smirk that is tugging the corner of her lips. With her feigning vulnerability as she covered her hand to her mouth so as to hide her lips in order for Pan An not to suspect a thing, she said something that made sense to Pan An.

"Haven't you wondered why he suddenly left and why you couldn't contact him, too? It's because of what I said—he threatened me…"

Pan An stood still in front of Ruo Xi. With him not believing what he has heard, he didn't know whether she was lying or saying the truth.
