Wang Tao had been puzzled as to why Qiu Rong and Li Xin could cry so convincingly. He struggled to tell whether their sadness was genuine or fake... It turns out that they were strong actors! That explained a lot.
No wonder from the moment he entered, Wang Tao felt as if Qiu Rong was constantly trying to seduce him. He was somewhat unsure at first, fearing he was overthinking it. But now, knowing their identities as actors, he was certain it was all intentional!
Since all of this was fake, all an act, he could not believe what they had just said. For instance, their reason for drugging Yao Guodong...
"Were you two actresses before?"
Wang Tao suddenly spoke up.
Qiu Rong and Li Xin, who were looking down, stiffened instantly.
Qiu Rong immediately looked up, meeting Wang Tao's expressionless face, and feeling a bit panicked, she quickly said,
"Mr. Wang, we haven't lied to you, what I said was true!"
"Yes, we, we didn't lie to you!"
Li Xin also spoke up.
