"If you didn't say it, how could I pick up on the meaning?" When it came to verbal sparring, no one could match Cheng Qiaobei. "Speak with evidence—when was it? Where? What kind of information did he trade with me that would benefit me?"
Of course, there was no evidence. Everything was purely speculation based on the situation.
"Denying it so strongly—looks like you're feeling guilty," said Cheng Xiangheng, constantly watching Cheng Qiaobei's expression, trying to determine if he was lying.
To his surprise, Cheng Qiaobei was even more composed than him. "Whether I deny it or not is irrelevant now. You only trust your own judgment. Once you start suspecting me, there's no trust left between us. Whatever I say won't matter."
"How could that be? I still trust you; you're my son."
Cheng Qiaobei countered, "If you truly trusted me, I wouldn't be sitting here. That has nothing to do with whether I'm your son."
