"No." Kang Chen refuses outright without any thought, his eyes closed as he rests in the backseat.
Checking the time, it was already past 10 o'clock. He had promised Ming Mei that he would be back soon.
Huo Er then says, "But, Mr. Chen, she claims...she has important evidence that can help you take down Bai Wen Zheng..."
Kang Chen opens his eyes...
...
Half an hour later, Kang Chen is seated in the reception area of his camp's prison.
As he sits down, footsteps echo from outside. Two soldiers bring in Bai Anqing.
Bai Anqing is donning the black and white stripes of a prison uniform. Her face is pale, her hair slightly disheveled. Her eyes are dim, unfocused. She carries with her the cold that never sees the sun from inside the cell.
Miss Bai, once gloriously splendid whenever she came and went from home, is now just a woman prisoner in jail.
Even her well-maintained face is now marred by some light wrinkles. She's incredibly skinny, as if she has aged by five or six years.
