The gemstone's buyer had betrayed Traceless.
Hence, this person must have colluded with the police.
Even though he knew that no matter what he said now, Liang Liang would find out that Traceless wasn't dead the moment the buyer got the gemstone, he was compelled to lie.
Because with his affirmation, perhaps Liang Liang would no longer see the need to lure her and track her down. And in turn, this could mean a lucky escape for Traceless.
Although this possibility was small, he was willing to give it a try for the sake of Traceless' safety.
There was an immediate silence the moment Liang Liang heard his answer. Then he burst out laughing.
He hung his head and sobbed as he said, "Don't think I'm a loser. Clearly, I hate her, but when I heard about her death, I was beside myself with grief."
Lu Nanze felt nothing at all as he listened to the other man.
Who else could he blame if he couldn't even protect the woman he loved?
