"Mother, are they all saying we're bad people?"
Luo Zhiwan looked down at Yiming, who was small in stature and had big, innocent eyes, and felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
She forced a smile and shook her head, "They don't know the truth, so it's inevitable that they will misunderstand us. As long as we know we are not bad people, that's enough."
"But we're already on the prison van, doesn't that prove we're bad people? Mother, are we going to be beheaded soon?"
