The businessmen nearby chuckled nervously. Lin's confidence cracked. Liwu was more direct than the people she dealt with usually. Didn't she know that people in their circles operated tactfully?
Weijun coughed, trying to diffuse the tension. "Dear...." he nudged Liwu, begging her to take things down a notch.
But Liwu wasn't done. She leaned forward and said to Lin, "But if you want to confess tonight, don't worry. I will have you in handcuffs before dessert."
Lin Xiu Yi's face flushed red, matching her gown. She excused herself quickly, heels clicking like retreating gunfire.
Weijun leaned close, whispering, "Must you do this?"
Liwu smirked. "Yes, she came looking to provoke me so I provoked her back. Reminding her of the crimes she has committed is my civic duty."
