"Really?" Ye Leng'an expressed doubt. "How can I be sure you're not deceiving me? Besides, I just injured you. Are you truly that benevolent?"
"I won't deceive you," Lian Zixin urgently responded. "The switching incident was my mistake. Now that you've injured me, we are even."
"Sounds good."
Upon hearing Ye Leng'an's response, Lian Zixin finally sighed in relief. However, her relief was short-lived as she was once again startled by Ye Leng'an's next words.
"Unfortunately, I'm not willing." Ye Leng'an's smile appeared somewhat cold. "Life is about finding happiness. Right now, the only thing that brings me joy is punishing you, the culprit."
At this point, Lian Zixin had a clear understanding of the situation. "Ye Leng'an, you played me!"
"That's correct, played you." Ye Leng'an nodded, continuing, "Why? Weren't you playing me just now? Lian Zixin, I dared to abduct you openly. Do you think I'd fear the Enforcement Team?"
