Her lips parted leisurely as she replied offhandedly, "Don't worry. I was faking it."
She'd been faking it?
Gu Xue was stunned for a full minute before realizing the impact of her words. Widening her eyes in disbelief, she stuttered, "You… You…"
Xu Weilai nodded her head immediately. "That's right. I was lying to Rong Wang. I wasn't broadcasting anything live."
Gu Xue was silent for a long while before remarking in a low voice, "Xu Weilai, weren't you afraid that... if he saw through your lie back there… you would suffer at his hands too?"
"Of course I was afraid! How could I not be?" Xu Weilai answered honestly with a nod of her head. "I'm not Superman! It's not as if I can beat up ten guys on my own! Even so, I still couldn't sit back and do nothing while you were getting attacked. I had to take the gamble."
