Chapter 798 Interrogation

Guan Rou's chest kept rising and falling.

This time she looked directly at Wen Xiuyuan.

Wen Xiuyuan looked normal.

Guan Rou was calmer than before: "After all, the strange beast behind us is still some distance away from us. I think there should be some time we can use."

Ning Fan thought about it and logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with what Guan Rou said.

But……

"Then let me ask more directly."

Ning Fan's gaze gradually grew sharper. "Miss Guan's suggestion of a break, was District Chief Xia a factor?"
