Mandy looked at the man in front of her, the joy after the calamity not preserved for long. Her face once again looked frightened, her gaze settling not far away at the gun in the tall, unconscious, thin man's hand.
Small One stood there, seeing through Mandy's thoughts. He bent down and took the black handgun and, under Mandy's gaze of despair, disassembled it.
Mandy quickly backtracked, staring at Small One, now alert. "Why are you here?"
Small One threw the scattered pieces of the gun in his hand on the floor. "I obviously followed you here."
"You…" Mandy looked frightened. "You mean, you heard the conversation that transpired between me and him?"
Small One nodded.
Mandy inhaled deeply. "Then, have you come to kill me?"
Mandy knew that Small One was Ling Tianya's bodyguard. Since he overheard their conversation, that would mean that everything she had done was now exposed.
