Leaving Simmons' house, Gao Guang looked normal, and so did Smith.
However, Gao Guang was genuinely normal, while Smith was pretending to be normal.
After leaving the house and getting into the car, no longer needing to maintain a calm façade, Smith finally said, "The last thing you said to Simmons, um, what did you mean by it?"
"It meant nothing at all, just made a joke. Actually, it wasn't really a joke, just an old meme from the internet."
Smith remained silent for a long time, at least five minutes, during which he didn't say a word.
It was Gao Guang who, out of concern for Smith's condition, couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
"I was thinking, I was already doomed, lost everything, because I trusted Congressman Simmons. I regarded him as a trustworthy and reliable person, and then he just needed a little trick to easily finish me off."
