The forceful words made the man stop in his tracks.
Mu Jingxi slowly turned around, his expression cold and stern, "What did you say?"
"You heard me right," Qiao An said earnestly. "Everything I just said is true. As long as you let Xia Lin go and don't hurt him, you can have the freedom you desire."
The freedom he desires?
Hah!
Who does this woman think she is?
What does she take him for?
A pet that comes when called and leaves when dismissed?
She was the one who insisted that he protect her, and now she's the one offering him freedom.
She's played both the good guy and the bad guy, quite the deal she's getting!
"Freedom?" Mu Jingxi's thin lips twisted into a cold sneer, "You think the freedom I want is something you can give?"
"I can!" Qiao An said with certainty. "If you don't believe me, I can call the President right now."
"Hah."
Mu Jingxi shook his head, "Naïve."
Leaving the words behind, he turned and walked away quickly.
What kind of reaction was that?
