The Early Bird Gets the Worm

Lin Shuguang's gaze was terrifying, but Shen Hongxue seemed not to know what fear was.

She was intensely curious about why Lin Shuguang had joined under an alias.

"What if I told you that I'd guessed your identity from the very beginning? Would you be even more nervous?"

Lin Shuguang raised a brow. "Why should I help you?"

Shen Hongxue frowned in confusion. "Maintaining world peace is everyone's responsibility..."
