After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng stood up and slowly said, "I completely cut ties with him because of one of his plans."
"What plan?" Qiao Xi was puzzled.
Gu Zheng took off his gold-framed glasses and stared at her with a burning gaze. "Cheng Ju'an must have said it on the phone just now."
Qiao Xi was stunned for a few seconds before she instantly came to a realization. "You already know that He Weinian is scheming against me?"
"Yes." Gu Zheng stared at her with his deep eyes.
"But didn't you say that we've never met before? Even if you knew that he wanted to attack me, you wouldn't have cut off all contact with your master for a stranger!"
Gu Zheng's gaze was calm, and his voice suddenly darkened. "That's what's strange."
