章節 687: Not From the Orphanage

Ee Chen was startled. "You mean to go after the He Lan family?"

"That's right." Xinghe continued matter-of-factly like she was talking about the weather, "Only by having them cornered can we get the information we want from them."

Ee Chen was further shocked, not by her confidence but her willingness to trust him so easily. Didn't she worry he was lying to her?

Ee Chen gasped. "You believe everything I said?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Xinghe asked curiously.

"Aren't you afraid I was just spinning yarn and it'll cause you to harm a family of innocents?" Ee Chen voiced the worry in his heart. It was normal for him to have those thoughts, anyone would.

However, Xinghe's answer did surprise him. "I have my own judgement. Since I've chosen to cooperate with you, naturally I have a certain degree of faith in you."

"But, I did betray you once before…"

"If I didn't deem you as trustworthy, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
