Chapter 2692

Sometimes staying alive is actually a better punishment for a person, just as Zhang Lin's targeting of Wang Canghai now follows the same logic.

Looking at the present, after Yang Lu hesitated for quite a while she let out a sigh, then she looked directly at Ake and immediately said: "Ake, we're about to set out soon. I'd like to hear your analysis before we leave."

Ake was stunned the moment he heard these words; the hand rolling his prayer beads stopped involuntarily, and he looked at Yang Lu with some surprise, then asked with a smile: "Captain Yang, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Yang Lu slowly shook her head, and then she said: "Are you sure you don't know? Ake, this whole way I've been keeping my guard up around you — you've noticed that too."

When Yang Lu said this much her tone immediately paused; she was waiting for Ake's reaction.

And Ake just nodded calmly as before, without saying anything else. In fact, this was another reason Yang Lu felt Ake was unfathomably deep — because the man seemed to have no other emotions at all, and the visual impact of that joyless, sorrowless feeling was simply too strong.

The more unreadable a person is, the more terrifying they become — this point was crystal clear in Yang Lu's understanding. Given that, Yang Lu kept telling herself in her heart that she absolutely must not let down this guard. And this time Yang Lu laid her cards openly on the table before Ake, wanting him to speak the truth.

The next moment Ake said: "Captain Yang, same as before — if you don't trust me, I can leave at any time."

Once those words were spoken, before Yang Lu could express any subjective reaction—

Wang Kaixuan slapped his thigh and said: "Ake, let me put it plainly — I think what our captain means is, stop holding things back. I noticed it too: ever since we got here, your mood hasn't seemed right, you've been hiding something the whole time. Do you know something? Tell us about it."

Ake pressed his palms together; he didn't look at Wang Kaixuan, only gazed quietly at Yang Lu. At this moment Yang Lu said nothing — clearly she was tacitly agreeing with Wang Kaixuan's words. Right now she just wanted to hear Ake talk about what came next.
