"Ah, sorry..."
As if realizing her slip of the tongue, Zhao Qingkong uttered an apology without a trace of remorse on her face, "My apologies, I didn't know Jinnian hadn't told you."
Her heart trembling, Tang Mulin forced herself to remain calm as she asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Qingkong stared at Tang Mulin with determination, "When Jinnian was up against his elder brother, he was actually in a winning position. But when the elder Chu brother mentioned you, Jinnian lost focus for a moment, falling into the opponent's trap, and that's how he was shot."
"And it was that shot that nearly claimed his life. You were at the hospital then, weren't you? There's no need for me to say more, is there?"
Picking up the cappuccino in front of her and taking a sip, Zhao Qingkong frowned in displeasure, "As expected, it tastes terrible. Jinnian only likes to drink black coffee, saying that sweet and cloying things like cappuccinos are only for little girls."
