    Summary

    “You’re not the first gumshoe who tried to come after me.” Shi Qingxuan adjusted her grip on the gun. “It’s getting old. Who hired you?”

    He Xuan didn’t think telling the truth would hurt in this situation. Some of his clients didn’t want to be named, and targets didn’t need to know who was coming after them. But this situation wasn’t like that, so he said, “your brother. All he wants is for you to come home.”

    Instead of understanding, Shi Qingxuan’s face pinched in an uncomfortable anger. She had the kind of angelic features that He Xuan only saw in paintings, usually, so the anger really didn’t suit her. The gun raised enough that the barrel was pointed right at his forehead. “Liar,” she hissed. “Who hired you?!”

    “I’m not-”

    “So help me! I’ll shoot you if you don’t tell me the truth!”
