In the hall, Ren Ke did not approach, maintaining her distance from the man.
Seeing this, the man said, "I'm weaponless now and heavily injured; you don't need to worry about me threatening you."
His deep eyes flickered slightly as he looked straight at her, and Ren Ke had the fleeting illusion that he truly cared about her.
As if under a spell, she genuinely began to step forward.
But in the end, she snapped out of it and stopped two steps away.
"Speak, what is it you want to tell me alone?" Ren Ke said coldly.
As the man was about to speak, she cut him off sharply, "Don't say you regret killing me. We've known each other for so many years; we both know exactly what kind of people we are. Instead of making me believe you regret killing me, it would be more credible for you to say that if you had known what unexpected things I would do later, you would have gotten rid of me right from the start to prevent future troubles."
The man fell silent.
