"That's impossible. She was living in your South Side Recuperation Center. She only left the hospital when you had your birthday party."

Instead, she replied with dignity and even revealed a trace of disapproval about Zeng Rou.

Director Wu listened to their conversation in silence. In fact, he was totally in the dark.
