Lurking Behind His Laughter

"You are making it too obvious." Zhou Jingren's voice didn't contain a hint of anger nor contempt.

"Why are you here?" he asked as deep lines started to appear in between his brows. "Did you follow me here?"

"No. I came here to kick the statue." The mockery in Zhou Jingren's voice only made him more irritated.

"Why are you here?"

"I don't know… to mock you?" Zhou Jingren smirked. "Did you know that your fiance was about to be framed for killing her own father?"

Harringfort eyed Zhou Jingren but didn't respond to his words.

"I would assume that you knew about this and… that is why you had been distancing yourself from your fiance?" Zhou Jingren smiled. "I mean… other than the fact that you don't like her."

"So what if I know? So what if I don't? What does it have to do with you?"

A sly smile escaped on Zhou Jingren's lips. "So… you wanted to change the leadership of this country?"
