Exploiting the familiar was a forbidden art, especially when the victim didn't even realize they were familiar with you.

The seemingly impossible contradiction Selena had raised at that moment was effortlessly resolved by Fu Qian. Even his gaze remained perfectly calm.

Those who spoke with facts never lacked such confidence.

"Then why did you show up in Moore?"

Of course, the challenge wasn't over yet.

After a brief pause, "Selena" quickly posed a new contradiction.

Her tone was even colder than before. It felt as if one wrong word would be enough for her to rip out the spine that had already blossomed in so many places.

"Heh..."

But instead of meeting that killing intent, a laugh rang out, old and worldly.

"I came to find Ji Yin."

Fortunately, before "Selena" had to ask, Fu Qian had already added another sentence.

He had actually mentioned that earlier.

Though her face was indistinct, it seemed he could still sense Selena's distress—the frustration of having her anger caught in her throat, unable to vent it.

Her methods were ruthless, and Fu Qian had no doubt that she would kill.

But her style was still rather straightforward, which made dealing with those who hid daggers beneath their smiles somewhat difficult.

"Interesting."

Sure enough, the interrogator quickly regained her composure, and the wound on Fu Qian's back stopped spreading.

"Let me think. To avoid being implicated all at once, you deliberately severed your connection with one another. So you don't know where Ji Yin is now... and yet you came to Moore to find him?"

Since "Laurie" seemed to have a point, "Selena" to some extent abandoned her terse questions and began analyzing the situation in greater detail.

"Yes. To stop what he's doing right now."

Not knowing where someone was yet coming
