Zhong Zemin continued his questions while the suspicion continued building in Gou Heng's mind. "What was in it?" The corner of his mouth pulled down, was he testing him? "A ring." Gou Heng did not know what was in the box so he was bluffing but other than a ring he did not know what else it could be. It was after all a ring box and came from a jewelry clerk.
To his surprise, Zhong Zemin hummed and his tone became a bit unfriendly and irritated sounding. "You bothered me for a ring? Are you in need of money?" Gou Heng pursed his lips and felt displeased with his tone, "It was a gift. It's important to me." The ring was his only connection to his benefactor who saved him not once but twice.
