Jin Xianglan gave a straightforward answer. "I am sorry that you see it that way."
But Lu Jia'er contended with sharp words. "Professor Jin, quite the charade of affected manners! If you don't want to witness the death of Ace, help us. If he is nothing but an experiment to you, then forget the fact that I am here. That being said, if Ace were gone, I would pin that crime on you for sure!"
"Are you threatening me?" Jin Xianglan squinted. A cloud came over her face.
"Yes, that is a threat." Lu Jia'er acknowledged her intention, frank and honest.
A trace of anger tainted Jin Xianglan's face. "How dare you threaten me when you can hardly protect yourself?"
Lu Jia'er burst into sneer. "Try me if you don't believe me!"
