15 Guan Dongmei (1/2)

Miss Guan checked Wuxing's wounds before they boarded the elevator that led them outside the mine. There were many levels in the Ethernum Mine and the industrial elevator wasn't reaching great speeds which led them to a having short time for a chat.

”You probably wonder who am I, right?” She asked with a playful smile seeing him staring at her the whole time.

”Who wouldn't? You just killed someone without blinking an eye and yet you get no repercussions for that.” Wuxing replied with a hint of amazement before asking, ”Are you maybe the Chief Warden daughter?”

”Hah, no. I am not. Don't trouble yourself with that. You will never guess my background. It's too big for you to dip your fingers into it. The less you know the better for you.” Miss Guan laughed and denied. Unfortunately, Wuxing was not the person who would easily give up when he wanted to know something. The more she rejected him, the stronger his desire to know more.

Before Wuxing could ask any more serious questions, he glanced at the burly guards with the uniforms that he didn't have the knowledge of and asked, ”Can they be trusted?”

He already noticed it earlier that they looked much different than the other prison guards, not only with the gear and uniforms but also their bearing. He recognized that they were specially trained for many years as Wuxing had the same kind of bearing. Calm and collected, always looking around for the possible attack. For them, being prepared for every eventuality was a common thing.

Miss Guan glanced at her guards who carried Wuxing this whole time without complaining and said after patting their cheeks, ”Them? They are the guards sent by my family to protect me 24/7. You don't have to worry about them, they are trustworthy.”

”Well then, if you can tell me, why did you kill him? I don't think you had enough evidence to make a correct judgment in this case.” Wuxing asked, recalling the whole situation. She couldn't be one hundred percent sure that the green-guard actually wanted to kill him only based on his and the leading guard testimony.

”Hahaha, now that you say it, did you see the face of that bastard Long Qing? Haha, It was all covered in that guard's brain. His face was so ugly, but he didn't say a word.” The beauty doctor laughed hard and asked happily imagining Long Qing's face from before. She especially ignored him later to annoy him more.

”You didn't answer my question…” Wuxing said with his face calm, not following her mood by laughing with her.

”Sigh, you are no fun… Didn't you tell me that he tried to kill you? That's more than enough evidence for me to act. If he wanted to kill you, then he better be prepared for death too.” Miss Guan sighed before she explained her reasoning, but when Wuxing heard it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

”And you just believed me just like that? You don't even know me… What if I lied to you?” Wuxing asked curiously, interested by how this woman's brain worked. They just met and she made her decision based on a few vague details he told her.

”Heh, let's say that I can see through people lies pretty easily. If you lied to me back there, I would straight up ignored you and even put the bullet back into your wound so you suffer more. I hate liars and I was never wrong in spotting one.” Miss Guan snickered revealing her talent to him as she gently trailed her fingers on Wuxing's wound as if giving him a warning to never lie to her.

”Oh, really? What if I am just a very good liar? I was trained to lie well, you know.” Wuxing asked with a smile. He found it hard to believe her.

”I know you didn't. If you did, I wouldn't be talking to you right now…” Miss Guan said with a certain expression, but seeing Wuxing was looking at her as if she was crazy, she hit him lightly on his healed shoulder before saying,”What? You don't believe me?”

”I am confident in my techniques. I just didn't lie to you earlier. If I did, you wouldn't be able to tell.” Wuxing nodded, feeling confident, but then he noticed the lady doctor smile and she said, ”Try me then.”

”Hmm?” Wuxing asked intrigued.

Miss Guan looked outside the window of the elevator and quickly counted the time to reach the top and said, ”We still have about two minutes to reach the top. You will keep saying facts about yourself until the end and I will tell you which one is true or false. If you manage to trick me, I will shorten your sentence by ten years.”

”Deal.” Wuxing agreed. Having someone challenging him like this, he couldn't say no to it. What's more, he wanted to see what methods she would use to keep such a promise. Knowing that she could kill anyone as she wished in this prison, it wouldn't be a surprise if it was possible for her.

A conversation was also a nice pain reliever as he was still suffering from it. He stopped himself from bleeding out while being transported, but he didn't fix any wounds at the lady doctor would find out about it later.

The guards looked at each other with serious expressions, turning up the level of her vigilance. It was actually the first time they witnessed their miss talk so much with another man and she even played around with him while laughing. Now she even proposed to play a game with him, even though she didn't know him at all. Those signs made them suspicious.

Without wasting time, Wuxing started, ”I am an orphan.” His face turned completely expressionless as he stopped giving any signals that could give him away.

”That's the truth.” Miss Guan said with a grin as she wrapped her hands under her full chest.
