"Coercion?"
"That's right, we were visiting him in a lower-tier city when it happened, and he coincidentally learned about the incident at the Xing Luodao headquarters and insisted on coming along. In desperation, we had no choice but to agree!"
Xiao He became more fluent as he continued speaking, adding many details in an attempt to make the whole story more believable.
But Xue An just listened with a smile.
"Actually, it's normal for you to come seek revenge on me! After all, I did destroy your Xing Luodao headquarters! It's only natural for revenge to follow injustice!"
"Hehe!" Xiao He's smile was extremely stiff, but inside he was wildly complaining.
Yes, things are indeed as you say, but the key is, can we afford to tell the truth?
Thus he hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Sir, you're joking. My subordinates have always been reckless; this time, dying at your hands is their retribution!"
As he spoke, cold sweat dripped down Xiao He's back.
