"They're so despicable!" Xiao Ai cursed angrily.
"They've captured you probably for the same reason, considering we're both closest to senior sister." Xue Mei subtly drew a connection between the two of them, leading Xiao Ai to unconsciously believe that she and Xue Mei were on the same side, someone to trust.
"I'm sorry for implicating you." Xiao Ai said, filled with guilt and regret as she saw Xue Mei's injuries.
"What do you mean by that, Xiao Ai? Did senior sister really entrust something to you?" Xue Mei asked, acting casual.
She had originally planned to use harsh questioning techniques on Xiao Ai, but owing to lack of time and the stubborn loyalty amongst Bai Xue's subordinates, she decided to take a different approach. Especially Xiao Ai, who had been by Bai Xue's side for seven to eight years, was extremely loyal to her. If Bai Xue entrusted something to Xiao Ai, she would protect it to her grave.
