She concealed her hurt eyes and added, pretending to be nonchalant.
"If possible, I can cover for you and buy you some time so that you might be able to escape!"
Mo Xiaoqing remained silent for a moment.
“Going down to the first floor is no problem. Haven’t you already seen it? My hands are covered in blood, and I’ve killed several people with the dagger in my hand!”
Mu Liangliang then noticed that she was holding a dagger in her hand, which was covered in blood and was still dripping.
It's easy to imagine that she used that dagger to protect herself and fight her way here.
Inevitably, her eyelids trembled violently twice.
Regardless of how bold and flamboyant she usually appears, she has never actually killed anyone, so it's normal to be surprised for a moment.
"sorry…"
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation, and would have been forced to rebel against those people.
Mo Xiaoqing knew her tone was a bit harsh, but her heart was pounding with anxiety. Her right hand, which had just killed several people, was still trembling slightly.
Seeing Mu Liangliang here was completely unexpected, even though he had a vague idea of what was going on...
But when the time comes to actually face it, a dull ache still inevitably lingers in my heart!
She had been secretly comforting herself, thinking that perhaps she was overthinking things, or perhaps she was forced into it...
Perhaps she should try to believe her, instead of condemning her so easily…
But when the moment actually came, I realized how bitter and unbearable the feeling of being betrayed truly was.
A deathly silence gradually spread between the two of them, a situation that was truly agonizing!
Mo Xiaoqing didn't want to talk.
As for Mu Liangliang, she didn't know what to say?
She felt that anything she said at this moment could very well touch a nerve with Mo Xiaoqing…
After a long time...
"...Why did you save me?"
Mu Liangliang's mouth was full of bitterness, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "...Perhaps it's because I owe you?"
Mo Xiaoqing didn't understand.
Everything she had done, everything she had tried to do, clearly showed that she had betrayed herself…
But why would I still do such a contradictory thing now?
She really didn't understand, and couldn't figure it out!
Mu Liangliang closed her eyes, feeling suffocated by the angina.
Using all his strength, he asked, word by word, "You should have already guessed that I framed those people for you that night, right?"
Mo Xiaoqing remained silent.
"...When did you start to doubt me?"
"The morning after the murder that night..."
"...Didn't you ever consider that perhaps I was also framed?"
Mo Xiaoqing pursed her lips. "I did think about it, but in the end I ruled out that possibility."
"...I didn't actually want to drag you into this chaotic and dark circle! If I hadn't betrayed you, would things be different between us now?"
She paused for a moment, then replied, "...To be honest, I don't know."
Everything that has happened during this period has overturned the truths she previously believed in.
She didn't know whose words she could believe.
I don't know whose words can't be trusted?
Mu Liangliang gave a self-deprecating laugh, her heart filled with desolation. "That's true. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't dare to trust someone who once betrayed me in a time like this!"
Mo Xiaoqing's eyes darkened, and she pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but for some reason, she swallowed her words back.
Seeing this, she thought, "It's probably no use saying all this now. Whether I want to or not, the fact is what it is now..."
Mu Liangliang chuckled softly twice, but Mo Xiaoqing knew that she felt very desolate and bleak inside, and even more so, she wanted to cry.
Perhaps it's because of their simple and happy time...
Perhaps it was because they had already revealed all their most private secrets to Mo Xiaoqing when they first met, demonstrating a level of trust that allowed them to do so.
In short, those simple, happy days are gone forever…
After a while, her voice became inexplicably hoarse, no longer as sweet and soft as usual.
"So, the story you told me was something you made up?"
Mu Liangliang mocked herself, closed her eyes tightly, and replied with a sorrowful and desperate tone, "...I would rather it was something I made up!"
The implication is that the story is true, and she did not fabricate it.
Mo Xiaoqing's gaze was complicated. "...Why?"
Since there was no fabrication and I spoke the truth when I was with her, why say such things?
She really couldn't understand how Mu Liangliang's current status meant that no one in this industry could threaten her!
Why did she do this? And what benefits will she gain?
Mu Liangliang closed her eyes, and crystal-clear tears slid down her cheeks, leaving two indelible tear tracks on her fair and rosy face.
"In life, there are always some things that are not in accordance with one's own will, and one cannot do as one pleases. I once told you that after experiencing such a painful thing, I made a deal with a devil!"
If she could do whatever she wanted, she would never have entered this industry!
