The Fake Story turned Real? Paradox?

Yin Yue's observation brought a new perspective to the day's events. [Wang Xiao, the attack wasn't focused on you, they were more interested in attacking Anran,] she remarked.

Wang Xiao paused, a soft smile playing on his lips. 'You took that much time to figure it out? Wasn't that the reason I escaped?' he replied, his tone laced with a hint of amusement.

Yin Yue pressed on, [Oh, so it wasn't about keeping one of them alive?]

He shook his head slightly. 'The best way to ever sound credible while lying is to tell the half-truth,' Wang Xiao revealed, his voice calm and reflective.

Yin Yue's retort was tinged with humor. [Hehe, so I became the guinea pig for your social experiment now as well?]
