Looking at the delighted Niu Zhichun, Ye Weiming leaned over to Knife Girl and whispered in her ear: "That comment I made earlier? It was actually meant to set a trap for you."
Knife Girl was instantly gobsmacked upon hearing this.
He not only failed at his attempt to sabotage, but now he's confessing to it after the blame has been shifted. Was it to get a rise out of himself?
Then Ye Weiming continued, "On a serious note, didn't you feel even a little tempted when you heard Niu Zhichun make that suggestion?"
"Just think about it. That would have been a golden opportunity to intellectually one-up me!"
"Don't tell me you never considered Fan Yao as a boss we could kill. That would be an insult to your own intelligence."
Knife Girl rolled her eyes again. If she had chosen to agree and killed Fan Yao before Ye Weiming, she would have had first pick of Fan Yao's loot. This could have turned the table on Ye Weiming's scheme...
Of course, she'd considered this move!
