Chương 13: Wrong Side

Surprise flickered in Lu Jianjun's eyes as he caught the suspicious glare from Li Na. Her frown was a clear signal that she was dissecting everything in her mind, and he couldn't help but wonder what she was piecing together. He followed her gaze, which was fixated on Louis's ear—specifically, the diamond platinum earring gleaming in the light.

She replayed that dark night in her mind—the shadowy figure under dim lights, the angle of the light casting shapes that had obscured details. There hadn't been enough light to clearly see which side the earring adorned. But now, here he was, and her instincts were flaring up. Why did he only wear one earring now? Did he lose the other? Did he even notice?
