Lin Shuguang's gaze was terrifying, but Shen Hongxue seemed not to know what fear was.
She was very curious about why Lin Shuguang had joined under an alias.
"If I told you I'd guessed your identity from the very beginning, would you be even more nervous?"
Lin Shuguang remained unmoved, staring at her without a word.
Fortunately, Shen Hongxue couldn't read minds, or she certainly wouldn't have been as composed as she was now.
She continued on her own. "That man who claimed his surname was Si must have been Director Fang from your Special Management Bureau's Third Department. He'd never have guessed that I'd seen him before when I came down the mountain on a mission...

"I was waiting for you to make a move all along, but I underestimated your methods."
Lin Shuguang finally spoke. "You came to this godforsaken place to tell me all this. Are you really not afraid I'll do something to you?"
"Why should I be afraid? Rumor has it that you've never been interested in women, Director Lin. Surely you don't actually want to do anything to me?" Shen Hongxue frowned, apparently trying to determine whether the rumors were true.
Lin Shuguang fell silent and tightened his grip on his saber.

Shen Hongxue finally stated her true purpose. "I need your help."
Lin Shuguang raised an eyebrow. "Why should I help you?"
Shen Hongxue frowned in confusion. "Maintaining world peace is everyone's responsibility..."
