Chapter 137: Dispirited (2)_1

"What have you done to Lu Jie?" She struggled to control the tremble in her voice.

Her gaze was fixed on him, causing him to falter momentarily.

Not because her eyes were attractive, but because they were filled with intense fear and unease.

It was a vulnerability that left him unsure of how to respond to her question.

But Yuanya was surprisingly persistent, not deterred by his silence.

"What exactly have you done to Lu Jie?"

She spoke again, her voice slightly steadier than before.

He paused to compose himself, subconsciously not wanting to deceive Yuanya.

Perhaps saying he didn't know might be better, but such an answer would undoubtedly seem evasive.

Yang Yuhuan hesitated before saying, "I'm not entirely sure, the boss just ordered me to report his family's tax evasion so that it could be punished by the law."

"What about Lu Jie?" Yuanya sensed the evasion in his words, and insisted on asking.

"..."

Her question was met with another prolonged silence from Yang Yuhuan.
