Shen Jingwei did not know what to believe anymore. Each layer of deception he stripped away only revealed another, more intricate veil. Was there a core of reality beneath the endless layers of falsehood, or was truth merely a phantom, forever out of reach?
He turned his head away and scoffed.
What a joke.
"You know why Shang Ruohan told me this tonight, right?" he asked after a while.
Shang Ruohai responded with a curt nod. Of course, he knew.
"He seeks to sow discord between us, and probably have you discredit me in public."
There was no stage more magnificent than the Kunlun Snow Lotus Award Ceremony, after all.
Shen Jingwei advanced on Shang Ruohai until their faces were mere inches apart from each other, and taunted, "Aren't you afraid that I might reveal the truth tonight, for everyone to hear?"
