Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 420 - 424: I said, never lie to me.

Even he himself doesn’t know exactly what he’s concerned about.

Is it that he feels perhaps he isn’t that significant in Ran Xiangsi’s heart?

So, she is unwilling to tell him more.

The office fell into a sudden silence, no one spoke.

It was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing and heartbeats.

Outside the window, the sky was still brilliantly sunny, occasionally a few clouds floated by.

Breaking this lonely atmosphere was Xing Chen’s phone ringing.

He glanced at the caller ID without a trace of hesitation and answered the call.

It was Xie Jiaqi calling.

His voice quivered slightly, "President Xing, I led the team to investigate the hacker who attacked us earlier and found that their methods were nearly identical to Consultant Ran’s. We suspect that it could be Consultant Ran herself..."

Xie Jiaqi was actually worried about Ran Xiangsi and wanted to find out the truth. Who would have thought that such an incredible discovery would be made!

He, a mere team leader, naturally dared not make a decision lightly and could only report to Xing Chen first.

"Hmm." Xing Chen responded, his handsome face showed hardly any expression, just a faint hum, then he instructed, "Seal off the news, do not let it spread."

"Understood, President Xing." Xie Jiaqi, being a sensible person, quickly agreed.

After speaking, Xing Chen also put down his phone.

He turned around, his sharp gaze firmly locked onto the slightly thin girl before him.

Could it be her?

Betraying her own side?

He didn’t believe it. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Do you know the identity of the opponent?" He asked, probing straight into the topic Ran Xiangsi least wanted to discuss.

Ran Xiangsi bit her lip and chose to remain silent.

She hadn’t figured out how to tell him?

"Don’t call the police." After thinking for a long time, this was all she stubbornly replied.

Seeing she didn’t answer his question, Xing Chen’s brows furrowed again.

He took a step closer to her.

With his index finger, he gently lifted her delicate chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

In that moment when their eyes met, his gaze seemed to pierce through her soul!

Ran Xiangsi’s heart tightened, and inexplicably, she suddenly spoke, "That hacker is... is me..."

A simple sentence, yet for Ran Xiangsi, it was so heavy, as if it drained all her strength.

She thought that if she took the blame, Xing Chen wouldn’t continue to call the police?

In this way, no one would notice the presence of her mentor.

She just wanted to protect her mentor.

However, little did she know, while protecting one, she hurt another.

Xing Chen was the last person who wanted to hear this answer.

But it was precisely what he heard...

"Say it again." Xing Chen was unwilling to believe her words earlier, so he asked for confirmation again.

"That hacker is me, so don’t call the police..." Ran Xiangsi lowered her head, not daring to look into Xing Chen’s eyes, that only deepened her sense of guilt.

The lie had been spoken, there was no room for change anymore.

Even though he heard her admit it once more, Xing Chen still wouldn’t easily believe it.

He let go of Ran Xiangsi, his voice cold, his gaze icy, "Ran Xiangsi, I told you, never lie to me."

Standing against the sunlight, he appeared not a bit warm.

His firm and cold outline, like a pine standing in the mountain stream.
