Xian Lin'er was really grinding her teeth now:
"You don't know this, and you don't know that. What do you know, exactly?"
Yan Shaozhe really was in the wrong this time. Some of this he'd learned later by asking Ma Xiaotao, and some Mu En had told him. What Mu En knew, in turn, had come from Lu Ran.
