Shen Heyu cut to the chase with her questioning.
She needed a clear answer, not his ambiguous evasion. She looked into his eyes, "Tell me the truth."
This time, Pei Yansi did not hesitate.
Many things, once started, followed by a second, just like what he was telling Shen Heyu now.
He spoke solemnly, "It was him. But we are still gathering evidence, nothing is fully confirmed yet."
Shen Heyu frowned tightly, "When did you find out?"
"During those days abroad."
Pei Yansi didn't keep Shen Heyu in the dark about this matter, and he seriously said, "I originally wanted to tell you, but then you told me a white lie. So I hesitated."
That's why the issue had been delayed.
It had dragged on until now, until she discovered it herself.
Shen Heyu lowered her eyelashes, her long lashes hiding her emotions from view, only revealing her drooping shoulders, a picture of discouragement and dejection.
