Jennie felt struck. She bit her lip and answered in a muffled voice, "Nothing."
"Really?" Lisa's tone was slightly assertive. His deep eyes fixed intently on Jennie. It was as if he would never move his gaze away unless Jennie told him what he wanted to know.
Jennie instinctively wanted to avoid Lisa's gaze, only to find herself seemingly frozen by his gaze. She was unable to move or avoid him. She had no choice but to meet his eyes.
And Lisa's next sentence completely broke down the last wall Jennie put up in her mind.
"Jennie, I'm your husband." The closest person to you besides your family, so there should not be any secrets between us.
Jennie understood the meaning of Lisa's words. She shuddered and did not know if she should laugh or cry.
It was after a while that she exhaled a sigh and said hesitantly, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I just don't know how to start."
Lisa's eyebrows furrowed. He was unhappy with Jennie's perfunctory answer.
Jennie also knew that she could not fool Lisa with that answer, so she asked, "Do you know how I died in my last life, when I was a police officer?"
As she expected, Lisa's expression changed after he heard her question. There was a terrifyingly gloomy look on his face. Though he still answered, "The information on the file said that you died on a mission by accident. You died in the line of duty."
"That wasn't an accident." Jennie interrupted Lisa with a smile. Her gaze shifted slightly as she looked at the lush bushes outside the car window. "At that time, we received a report that a group of men were engaged in the illegal transportation of drugs inside a warehouse next to the big pier
on North Street. At that time, I was already a squad leader in the special police force. After receiving the order, I immediately led my team there, along with another support squad from my unit. We were going to arrest them all before they could get the stuff out of the port, and detain those things that
were harmful to people."
"What happened then? How did you..."
Jennie cupped her chin in her palm and rested her arm on the window. She sneered, "It was fake. The intelligence was fake."
Lisa's expression changed again. Jennie did not notice it, or maybe she noticed it but just did not care. She continued, "We sneaked into the warehouse at that time. And we were ambushed. I was with Haruto..."
Hearing Jennie brought up Haruto, Lisa's brows trembled a little, but he said nothing.
"It was really dangerous, but we killed most of them. Though when we thought it was over, an accident happened."
"an accident?"
"Because the reinforcements had arrived, I... let down my guard. As a result, it gave the enemy an opportunity to ambush me."
'Lisa's heart trembled slightly. He looked at Jennie in a daze. Jennie also turned her head to face him directly. Then, she reached out and gestured at the location of her left breast as she chuckled. "Here, the location of my heart, was shot twice. One shot came from the enemy, and
another... came from a companion."
'Lisa's eyes narrowed. He stared at Jennie in disbelief. He murmured, "Your companion?"
Jennie avoided Lisa's gaze and once again turned her head to look out the window. The comers of her lips slowly widened into a self-deprecating arc. "Remember those documents I dropped at your place when we met for the third time?"
Lisa jolted upright. He suddenly remembered that during the third time he met Jennie, after she helped them retrieve the fake documents from their competitors, they had switched the file bags because of a moment of negligence. He had accidentally taken the information she had asked
the detective agency to find out for her.
It was because of that information that the seeds of suspicion were planted in his heart. After that, he did suspect that maybe her death was not an accident, he even sent someone to investigate it.
Unfortunately, the police station was a government agency, no matter what. The obvious things could be easily checked out, but if he wanted to look deeper, it was not that easy.
After investigating for some time, Lisa gave up as he could not find anything about it. The matter was left unresolved, but he did not expect that
"You'd think I would die right away after I was shot in the heart, that I wouldn't be able to think about anything, but at that moment... I don't know the reason, but my consciousness was clearer than ever." As Jennie said that, she reached out to cover her face and chuckled, "Sometimes, I even doubt
that maybe the two shots were just my imagination before I died? The bullets that shot at me at the same time from different directions..."
Enemy and companion, clear as day! Most importantly, the shots were fired at the exact same time, and the position that she was standing at was slightly closer to the enemy, which meant that one second after that enemy fired the shot, her companion shot her too.
Without any hesitation, as if they had been waiting for this moment to kill her!
Therefore, when she had just been reborn, she could not deny that she did bear some resentment. She just could not accept that her companion, who fought alongside her, who she gave her trust to, fired a gun into her chest, her heart!
But gradually she understood that it was not an illusion at all, because the resentments she felt truly existed.
She resented the fact that her life had ended so abruptly like that. She resented the fact that her companion betrayed her. Those resentments had been burning her heart like boiling oil!
Seemingly feeling Jennie's inner turmoil, Lisa subconsciously reached out and held her other hand.
Jennie felt the warmth in her palm. Her fingertips quivered a little, though she did not tum around. She continued to stare blankly at the moonlight outside the window. Lisa could not figure out what was on her mind.
Lisa thought about it and took the initiative to change the topic, "About Ms. Lee from just now..."
'Lisa intended to say that Ms. Lee seemed to be hostile toward you, but Jennie's next sentence made him change his expression again.
"Nancy was also part of the second support squad that came with us on the mission at that time."
'Lisa's eyes widened instantly with a little unease. At the same time, he finally understood why Jennie would lose her composure just now.
"She was one of the members of your squad, but she is Jung-Jae's daughter..." Not just Jennie, Lisa was also aware of what Jung-Jae's name represented. Nancy was his daughter, yet she belonged to the police force, it just seemed.
Lisa's face immediately turned dark because of a certain speculation he just thought of.. "So you are suspecting that she.
