"I am not working for him," Mr. B said. "If that is what you want to know." He smiled before adding, "Zhuo Jingren and I are completely different entities. We know each other, yes. But… I follow my own rules."
"How do I know that you are telling the truth?" she asked.
"You don't… but you don't have a choice. Do you?" he quipped.
In response, Mu Qingling stared at him. She had no other options at the moment. If she wanted revenge, Mr. B could be her only weapon to use against her sister. "As long as you are not working for Zhuo Jingren then I will help you."
"You seem to hate him very much, eh?"
"I don't hate him," Mu Qingling countered. "I am afraid of him. There is a difference." Mu Qingling would never forget Zhuo Jingren's sinister smile as he talked about what she did to Lily. Even now, remembering those things still made her shiver.
