Hua Lifang said what she had planned to say, turning herself into a victim.
As long as she was a victim, Ling Yiran's incident was not her fault. Ling Yiran was just unfortunate.
"Is everything you're telling me now the truth?" asked Gu Lichen as he stared at the person in front of him.
Hua Lifang immediately said, "Of course. Why would I lie to you, Lichen? You know what? The more I thought about it later, the more scared I became. If I had entered the lounge, and since I'm not as smart as Yiran, then I'd... have gotten myself into a scandal in Shen City and be laughed at by now!"
She wanted to throw herself into his arms and seek comfort as she spoke.
However, Gu Lichen pushed Hua Lifang out of his arms. "Lifang, I've told you that I only regard you as my childhood savior, so don't do anything inappropriate or say something inappropriate in case you mislead others."
Hua Lifang's expression immediately changed at that, and she bit her lower lip hard.
"Also, I hope you're telling the truth today. The police have started investigating this, and it won't be long before they have the results," said Gu Lichen.
Hua Lifang forced a smile. "Yes, I also hope... they'll have the results soon so that I'll know who's trying to hurt me!"
However, her heart was beating wildly and uncontrollably. It was almost as if it were about to burst out of her throat. Fear was welled up inside her.
'What if... they find out? What do I do then?'
