"Tired?" Zhong Huilan asked softly as she saw Qi Li rubbing her eyes. "Then let's get down to business. Su Xuan told me what happened to you tonight. He said you want to make peace?"
As she spoke, Zhong Huilan placed a dossier in front of Qi Li. "This is the record of your brother's crimes. Take a look, and then we can talk about peace."
Qi Li's expression grew more complex as she flipped through the dossier with her slender fingers. It contained an extremely detailed account of the incident, revealing that her brother hadn't been innocently killed by the police but had committed a heinous crime. A crime so terrible it would be severely punished even in the world beyond the mountain. The information she had received before was not nearly as detailed; in fact, it had been grossly beautified.
"The lives of your people are no more noble than ours," Zhong Huilan said. "Now, tell me about the sincerity of your peace offer."
