"I am telling the truth." Gu Jun's brows folded together. It did not feel good having a gun pointed at him. "I do not know anything else about the rest."
Xue Ba finally nodded as he came to a decision. "Xiaoning, put the gun down. I believe Ah Jun. It's just a hunch I have, and you know I've always trusted my hunch."
"Okay." Lou Xiaoning instantly lowered the rifle and pulled the safety back on. But she kept an eye on Gu Jun's micro-expressions. His first reaction was relief, followed by a suppressed calmness as he tried to decipher her motive. Finally, it culminated in annoyance, one that grew as time went by. That was a passable reaction. It did not look like it was rehearsed, nor were they telling signs of a sociopath. But she made a note to continue watching him.
"Actually, I quite admire you." Lou Xiaoning voluntarily walked over and extended her hand as an olive branch. "That was just standard procedure. Please accept my apology."
