"Are you truly that confident?" Liu Yao remained hesitant, fearing that choosing the wrong side might cause her to bear the brunt of the boss's ruthless retaliation.
Gu Fan nodded, "If my guess is correct, all six families are each concealing a secret. If the boss targets you, then the secret the Liu family is safeguarding will also disappear forever; that would be a considerable loss for everyone."
Liu Yao understood Gu Fan's point. If anything were to happen to her, the secret of the old house would be forever buried. Therefore, she should not be overly concerned about reprisal from the boss.
"So, have you made your decision? Will you stand with me, or the boss, or perhaps you prefer to act independently?" After speaking, Gu Fan's eyes filled with anticipation.
Liu Yao deliberated for a moment, then responded, "I can align myself with you, but the boss must not know about this."
