Kawasaki Aokiko's words and her revealed identity immediately put Jiang Ce on his guard. His gaze sharpened as he watched her, his expression turning cautious.
After all, Kawasaki Aokiko's identity was far too suspicious. It was hard to say whether she was also involved in Kawai Shoken's death due to some vested interest.
Just as Jiang Ce was considering how to respond, she suddenly burst out laughing.
"Don't be so tense, I was just joking with you."
"You don't know who Kawai Shoken is, do you?"
"He's the young master of the Kawai Group. How could someone like you have killed him?"
"Relax. Those gangsters live dangerous lives; any day could be their last. If it has nothing to do with you, there's no need to worry."
Seeing Kawasaki Aokiko's natural, casual smile, Jiang Ce finally relaxed and offered a perfunctory smile in return.
