"Accomplices? You've certainly kept me waiting," the man said with a shake of his head, his tone tinged with mock frustration.
"We're not accomplices. We were just passing through." Bai Nuanxi immediately denied it. If they were labeled as criminals, there would be no chance to argue their way out.
"Passing through? All the way from the city to this remote area? You must be joking." The man's tone was laced with disbelief, clearly not falling for Bai Nuanxi's flimsy lie.
Bai Nuanxi frowned, feeling something was off. "...Have you been monitoring us?"
There was no way the surveillance cameras could cover such a large area, and they hadn't sensed anything unusual on their way here. Yuzixuan, being trained in such matters, would have noticed if they were being watched. So, if Yuzixuan hadn't detected anything, there were only two possibilities: either there was no surveillance, or it was so well-hidden that it escaped even her notice.
