Weini could feel a shift in Qiao Xiaren's mood, sensing the seriousness of the situation. He nodded and stepped outside.
Qiao Xiaren pulled over a chair and sat down, her cold eyes seeming to peer through everything.
"Xiaren, what is it that you want to tell me?" Lan Tiansheng moved his laptop aside, looking at her gently.
"What is your ultimate goal? Today, let's lay our cards on the table. What are you looking for?" Qiao Xiaren scoffed suddenly, "I'm only giving you one chance to explain, make sure you make the most of it."
In the ensuing silence, opponents locked eyes.
Qiao Xiaren's gaze appeared icy, it seemed like nobody could hide from it.
