Shen Xian stared at that direct and clear hand, lost in thought for a moment, then slowly began, "Perhaps there are underlying reasons, but I am wondering..."
This time, Gu Chen did not interrupt her but waited patiently instead.
Shen Xian's gaze drifted upward, meeting Gu Chen's focused eyes. She mustered the courage to say, "Could it be that the punishment was too severe?"
Gu Chen stopped what he was doing and stretched out a finger towards her, saying, "Continue."
"After all, given Shen Fei's influence in the industry, once the official website and Weibo announced the decision, it was akin to issuing a ban. Jin Chen... will likely find it very difficult to secure a foothold in Beiji."
Shen Xian was the victim, and she was now clearly aware of why Jin Chen had framed her. Thus, Jin Chen's downfall today seemed, to some extent, related to her.
She spoke haltingly, very unlike her usual decisive style.
