Xingxe lounged on the deck of his sleek yacht.

Xiao nodded grimly, frustration in her expression. “I know.”

Their mind deeply think through the details of both cases.

“I don’t know where I’m going anymore.” Lisha was sitting talking to the man but the person he was talking to was standing far away, the man was looking at the glass window and looking at the city lights.

“Proverbs chapter three, verse five to six.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”

The mysterious man’s voice was majestic.

Lisha just started crying and didn’t know what to do.
