There was no way she could control such high-level staff.
Ou Lin looked serious now. "We don't know who the real enemy is. But we can catch them today—if you play your part."
Qiao Li raised an eyebrow. "And what's your plan? I pretend to be sad and useless while you spy on people?"
"Exactly," he said with a grin. "You're good at looking proud. But today, you need to look broken. Let them think they've crushed you. Let them come to gloat. I'll be watching. I'll find them."
She paused. His plan made sense. As much as she hated acting weak, if it meant uncovering the truth...
She nodded slowly. "Alright. But just so you know, I hate this."
"I know," Ou Lin said.
They turned toward the door.
But then he spoke again, in a teasing voice. "Before you go... can I kiss you one more time and get slapped again? Just for balance."
Qiao Li turned red instantly.
"You seriously have no shame!" she said, trying not to laugh.
