Bai Jing was utterly stunned, somewhat astonished, but even more so, confused; it took her a long time to barely squeeze out the voice to ask, "Play along with you? Why... why would you want someone old to play along in a plot to marry Ren Ke?"
Lin Wu led her forward.
This allowed them to turn their backs on Ren Ke and the other two.
Ba Ning seemed to sense something and moved a step as well, walking two steps behind them, blocking those seemingly non-existent gazes.
"If this can calm you down a bit, I don't mind revealing my scars right now and telling you about the past," Lin Wu said calmly.
Bai Jing hesitated for a moment.
"This goes back to when I was five years old and was abducted by human traffickers and met you. I was separated from you for two days before Lord Bai Hai found us and saved us. But during those two days... I was not with the trafficking group; I had actually been sold early on, bought by a person of unknown identity."
