Mu Chengzhu turned his thoughts and said to Cheng Lie, "I came to Beijing to look for Shi Fei."
He knew that Cheng Lie must be different from the past now. He would investigate him, delve into his background, and confirm whether what he claimed was true.
Cheng Lie's eyes narrowed slightly. He fixed his gaze on Mu Chengzhu, trying to see through his thoughts.
Mu Chengzhu stared back at him.
Two men, neither yielding, as if this exchange of glances would determine their very survival.
Mu Chengzhu felt victory within his grasp.
"You know, Shi Fei and I share a secret."
The word "secret" was like a stone, crashing against Cheng Lie's chest.
Cheng Lie recalled that day when Yun Shifei interacted with Mu Chengzhu. She hadn't shown the disgust toward him that Cheng Lie had expected.
Mu Chengzhu had even promised her to keep the secret between the two of them.
What kind of secret existed between them? Cheng Lie pondered this for a long time without finding any clue.
