Meng Chao thought about it and asked, "Even if you didn't have my contact information, you were clearly there when I went to check the place, where Tailless Monkey lived, with Ai Lei. You even left a mark of time."

"Your secret was your most important weapon. Why would I destroy it?

"Aside from that, there's a more important reason. If I had shown up and confessed everything to you, would you have believed me?"

Meng Chao was stunned.
