Pei Donglai stared at Lin Xiao in bewilderment.
"Captain, you… what do you want me to act out?"
"It's simple. Just play along with me. Now, pretend that I'm severely injured and you're terrified!"
Pei Donglai was stunned once again. He still didn't understand why Lin Xiao wanted to put on such a show.
But he would soon find out.
Just as Pei Donglai put on a terrified expression and began supporting Lin Xiao, the door to the security room was pushed open. Su Qingning then rushed in, followed closely by Shen Jingzhe and Shao Mei'er.
The three young women were all shocked by the scene. Su Qingning, in particular, froze on the spot. She saw Lin Xiao's pale face and his weakened state. It was obvious he was injured. The sight made her mind explode.
Without a second thought, she threw herself in front of Lin Xiao, her hands trembling as she tried to help him up.
Lin Xiao offered Su Qingning a pitiful smile. "My love, I'm sorry for making you worry!"
