Chapter 157, Seeing Through (2nd Update)

The fool's heart ached upon hearing those words.

Xie Zhinuan was very good, extremely good.

She was kind-hearted, and possessed an indescribable purity and amiability.

As a spy who had never known warmth, she yearned to be close to Xie Zhinuan. Xie Zhinuan always seemed lively, cheerful, and optimistic to her. This was the first time she saw her looking somewhat bewildered and hostile toward the world.

"Miss... it's not like that!" the fool called out gently.

"Whether it is like that or not, we will know after the investigation is clear. It won't take long, no rush!" Xie Zhinuan said softly.

She propped her cheeks with both hands.

For the first time, she felt anger rising.

Upon her delicate face, the gentleness receded, and shadows crept over, her eyebrows knitting together.

From where Li Hengyi sat, he could just catch Xie Zhinuan's expression.
