At those words, a sudden cold glint flashed in Lu Moqing's eyes, and he nodded before asking, "Did you really see her leave the room that year?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Su Rou's hand at her side trembled imperceptibly before she clenched it forcefully to calm herself. Looking at Lu Moqing, she continued, "You know, I'm terrified of her. If she hadn't left, I would never dare go in to save you."

She spoke evasively, with her lower lip lightly bitten, appearing particularly pitiful.

"Did you really see her?"

Lu Moqing squinted his eyes and repeated the question, his gaze on Su Rou's face becoming increasingly sharp. The light in his eyes seemed capable of piercing through Su Rou.

Su Rou's heart trembled under his gaze, but she could only pretend to be calm as she said, "Moqing, what's wrong with you? Do you... not believe me? Do you think I'm framing my sister?"

As her words fell, Su Rou's eyes suddenly reddened.
