Chu Hai suddenly looked up, his face filled with panic. He wanted to find a reason to explain himself but realized that when facing Bai Ruozhu's gaze, which seemed to pierce through everything, his throat felt as if it was being strangled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Since you want my help, don't keep hiding things here and there, otherwise, what will we do if we miss the chance to rescue Diao Yao?" Bai Ruozhu continued.
"I'm not hiding anything, and I never intended to harm anyone or deceive anyone with Diao Yao, so you don't need to overthink it," Chu Hai's temper flared, and his tone became much harsher. He was out of energy, and it seemed like he had used up all his strength just saying that.
Bai Ruozhu was taken aback and felt a wave of disappointment rise in her heart. This must be what is meant by "those who do not share the same values cannot work together." She had considered him a friend, but he was not willing to open his heart to her.
