There was a subtle sense of tension and anticipation in the air. The sunlight filtered through the cracks in the windows and sprinkled into every corner of the room, but it seemed unable to completely dispel the depressing atmosphere.

There was a complex light flashing in Cindy's eyes, showing both a desire for an answer and a hint of subtle nervousness.

Lisa's smile is still as warm as spring, but beneath this warmth lies unquestionable determination and strength.

"If I were really Qingluan, the rules and justice of this world would have been overturned long ago."

Lisa's words were gentle but powerful. She gently turned the teacup in her hand, as if every movement was telling of her innocence and confidence. "Today, I am not only here on my own behalf, but also as a messenger of justice. Together with my colleagues in the Police Department, I will uncover the truth and restore clarity to this city."

Hearing this, Cindy curled up the corners of her mouth into a playful smile, which contained both provocation and a bit of expectation.

"Okay, since you are so sure, let's play a game." She leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice, as if she was sharing a secret that belonged only to the two of them. "If you are willing to admit that you are Qingluan, then I will reveal to you the true identity of the boss behind the scenes who is hiding in the dark and controlling everything, and who you may not even be aware of. This is a deal, a deal about truth and courage."

Xia Yuhe observed all this quietly from the side, her eyes moving back and forth between Cindy and Lisa, with mixed feelings in her heart.

As another key figure in this complicated chess game, she is also eager to uncover the mystery of Qingluan, and wants to know where exactly she lost to this legendary existence.

"Indeed, there are no outsiders here." She interrupted softly, with a barely perceptible bitterness in her voice, "I'm also curious about what Qingluan is capable of that makes all my efforts seem so pale and powerless. Lisa, are you really not her?"

Facing the gazes of the two people, Lisa's face showed a hint of helplessness and relief.

She stood up, walked to the window, with her back to the sun, her shadow stretched out.

"Have you ever seen a real undercover agent? They will not become the mastermind of a crime, nor will they let themselves fall into the abyss of darkness."

Lisa's voice was full of persistence and belief in justice. "I, Lisa, am just an ordinary person. As for Qingluan, one day, we will uncover her true face and let the truth come to light."

Cindy's face was gloomy. She obviously couldn't accept the result, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

After her emotions calmed down a little, she began to analyze calmly, and her thoughts returned to the ever-changing Golden Triangle.

There, all signs indicate that only that mysterious woman could easily access and transmit such a huge intelligence network.

Her figure is like a ghost in the fog, omnipresent yet elusive.

When talking about the woman's later development overseas, Cindy had to admit that it was entirely due to her personal strength and wisdom that she created a new world for herself in a foreign country.

Such ability makes people both admire and fear it.

However, behind all this, there is a woman named Qingluan.

Qingluan, a being that is always lurking in the dark, trying to capture bigger prey.

In Qingluan's eyes, Cindy is not only the "big fish" as she calls it, but also the equally unfathomable master behind Cindy is her coveted target.

But so far, Qingluan has not succeeded, which forced her to continue hiding and wait for the best opportunity.

Faced with Lisa's temptation and invitation, Cindy shook her head firmly.

"Since you are unwilling to admit your true identity, then the many secrets hidden in your heart, including everything about the mysterious person behind you, will forever remain a mystery."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Cindy's words, but more of it was determination and helplessness. "Okay, I thank you for coming to see me today. I'll remember this friendship. But I have to walk the rest of the way on my own."

Faced with Cindy's firm refusal, a hint of subtle loss flashed across Lisa's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She knows very well that everyone has their own choices and persistence, which cannot be forced.

So, Lisa slowly walked up to Cindy, took out a card from her exquisite wallet, and gently placed it on the table. The card was flashing with a sense of technology.

"This is a virtual currency card," Lisa said in a soft but firm voice. "The amount in it is enough for you to live a stable life for a period of time. One million US dollars. You can transfer it through various safe methods to ensure that no trace is left. I hope you can accept it, at least as a guarantee for you to avoid the limelight temporarily."

At this point, Lisa's eyes became deep, and she continued, "Moreover, based on my understanding of Akbang, they will not easily let go of anyone who threatens their interests. Your arrival has attracted their attention, and now they are probably plotting how to deal with you. Therefore, leaving here as soon as possible and going to a place where they can't find you is your wisest choice now."

After saying this, Lisa did not linger any longer. She patted Cindy's shoulder gently, as if giving her the final encouragement and blessing, then resolutely turned around and left without any hesitation or reluctance in her steps.

She knew that she had done what she could, and Cindy had to walk the rest of the way on her own.

Xia Yuhe watched all this silently from the side, feeling mixed emotions.

She was moved by Lisa's generosity and affection, but helpless about Cindy's stubbornness and distrust.

In the end, she could only sigh softly, her eyes lingering between the departing backs of Cindy and Lisa, as if looking for some answer or comfort.

"Everyone has his or her own destiny," Xia Yuhe silently said in her heart, "Perhaps this is the test that Cindy must go through."

In fact, all the truth has been revealed, except for who Qingluan is. Lisa denies it and Cinyd is suspicious.

As long as you know who Qingluan is, you will know why you failed in the Golden Triangle.

Cindy watched the door of the room close, a smile in her eyes.

I don’t know what she is laughing at, maybe she is laughing at her own incompetence.

There is no place for me now.

Where to go next? One million? Pity yourself?

If I have to say one thing I regret, it's that I didn't deal with Qingluan cleanly and neatly back then, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today!

This is all retribution.
