บท 170: 169th Break: Dancer

Lin Ze was about to open the door when Qiu Si stopped him.

"Wait." Qiu Si called and grabbed his wrist. "What you said just now… what do you mean that you lost my young master?" he asked as he switched to acting mode to distract Lin Ze.

Lin Ze really was distracted. "This… I am sorry, Pei-xiong… ah, no. Sir Banban." He corrected himself. "Earlier, I had argued with the young master and lost my temper…" he said and clenched his fists.

"'argued'?" Qiu Si muttered as he listened inside the room, guessing whether Meng Xing had already finished disguising himself.

"Yes. He wanted to use himself as bait to lure the Council, and I disagreed." Lin Ze spoke. "In a fit of anger, I left. When I returned to my senses, I ran back to the city lord's mansion, only to find that he was already abducted." He explained and lowered his head. "I am sorry. I will do everything to save him! Even if it costs me my life!" he told Qiu Si.
