”Now speak, why did you help Yun Ruobing steal my design?” interrogated Xinghe, as she took a step forward and looked down at him.

Ee Chen raised his head to look at her. He pointed at Xia Zhi and Xiao Mo. ”I will tell you everything after you have them removed from this room.”

”Looks like you still need to be taught a lesson…” Xia Zhi raised his arm ready to launch another series of punches but Xinghe stopped him, saying, ”Wait for me outside.”

Xia Zhi was shocked. ”Sis, you can't agree to his demand. What if he attacks you after we're gone?”

Xiao Mo was equally concerned. ”He's right, Miss Xia. It's too dangerous to leave you alone with him.”

Xinghe shook her head. ”He won't harm me. Please wait for me outside.”

Ee Chen climbed up with the aid of a chair which he later laid his body out on. He didn't answer Xinghe immediately. Instead he inspected his bruised face, complaining, ”If I knew you guys who do such a thing to my face, I wouldn't have stayed behind voluntarily. Damn my conscience to hell.”

”So, you admit you've sinned?”
