Qin Mengsha's expression had already turned ugly.
She looked faintly at Qiao Zhiyi but said to Shi Jingzhou, "Jingzhou, you go back with Zhiyi first. After all, I am now a suspect. Being too close to me isn't good for your image and might even implicate you."

Qiao Zhiyi's words touched upon that point and then shifted direction, "Don't worry, we are all friends, and we won't abandon you. I'm also thinking of your reputation. The situation has already veered off the original track, I can't add more trouble for you."
The words sounded beautiful, each phrase seemingly concerned about adding trouble for her, but in reality, she just wanted to stay away from her.
If their relationship had been normal, Qiao Zhiyi would not have said such things.
