"Why do you say I'm undercover?" Yang Yi himself wasn't too sure. He couldn't just say, "Sorry, I'm a cop," because he wasn't a cop.

Petra's face didn't look good at all; it was ashen, to say the least. She looked as if she had lost her parents.

Yang Yi felt Petra might have misunderstood, so he softly said, "Don't misunderstand. I'm undercover beside you not to hurt you, but to protect you. Yes, I'm CIA!"
There should be no problem with that, right? But Yang Yi realized he was wrong because right after he said it, Petra's tears started to fall freely.
"So, you're saying you've been lying to me all along...?"
Petra was already in despair, and Yang Yi was also in despair. He spread his hands and said, "How can you think that?"
