15 Guan Dongmei

Miss Guan checked Wuxing's wounds before they boarded the elevator that led them outside the mine. There were many levels in the Ethernum Mine and the industrial elevator wasn't reaching great speeds which led them to a having short time for a chat.

"You probably wonder who am I, right?" She asked with a playful smile seeing him staring at her the whole time.

"Who wouldn't? You just killed someone without blinking an eye and yet you get no repercussions for that." Wuxing replied with a hint of amazement before asking, "Are you maybe the Chief Warden daughter?"

"Hah, no. I am not. Don't trouble yourself with that. You will never guess my background. It's too big for you to dip your fingers into it. The less you know the better for you." Miss Guan laughed and denied. Unfortunately, Wuxing was not the person who would easily give up when he wanted to know something. The more she rejected him, the stronger his desire to know more.

Before Wuxing could ask any more serious questions, he glanced at the burly guards with the uniforms that he didn't have the knowledge of and asked, "Can they be trusted?"

He already noticed it earlier that they looked much different than the other prison guards, not only with the gear and uniforms but also their bearing. He recognized that they were specially trained for many years as Wuxing had the same kind of bearing. Calm and collected, always looking around for the possible attack. For them, being prepared for every eventuality was a common thing.

Miss Guan glanced at her guards who carried Wuxing this whole time without complaining and said after patting their cheeks, "Them? They are the guards sent by my family to protect me 24/7. You don't have to worry about them, they are trustworthy."

"Well then, if you can tell me, why did you kill him? I don't think you had enough evidence to make a correct judgment in this case." Wuxing asked, recalling the whole situation. She couldn't be one hundred percent sure that the green-guard actually wanted to kill him only based on his and the leading guard testimony.

"Hahaha, now that you say it, did you see the face of that bastard Long Qing? Haha, It was all covered in that guard's brain. His face was so ugly, but he didn't say a word." The beauty doctor laughed hard and asked happily imagining Long Qing's face from before. She especially ignored him later to annoy him more.

"You didn't answer my question…" Wuxing said with his face calm, not following her mood by laughing with her.

"Sigh, you are no fun… Didn't you tell me that he tried to kill you? That's more than enough evidence for me to act. If he wanted to kill you, then he better be prepared for death too." Miss Guan sighed before she explained her reasoning, but when Wuxing heard it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"And you just believed me just like that? You don't even know me… What if I lied to you?" Wuxing asked curiously, interested by how this woman's brain worked. They just met and she made her decision based on a few vague details he told her.

"Heh, let's say that I can see through people lies pretty easily. If you lied to me back there, I would straight up ignored you and even put the bullet back into your wound so you suffer more. I hate liars and I was never wrong in spotting one." Miss Guan snickered revealing her talent to him as she gently trailed her fingers on Wuxing's wound as if giving him a warning to never lie to her.

"Oh, really? What if I am just a very good liar? I was trained to lie well, you know." Wuxing asked with a smile. He found it hard to believe her.

"I know you didn't. If you did, I wouldn't be talking to you right now…" Miss Guan said with a certain expression, but seeing Wuxing was looking at her as if she was crazy, she hit him lightly on his healed shoulder before saying, "What? You don't believe me?"

"I am confident in my techniques. I just didn't lie to you earlier. If I did, you wouldn't be able to tell." Wuxing nodded, feeling confident, but then he noticed the lady doctor smile and she said, "Try me then."

"Hmm?" Wuxing asked intrigued.

Miss Guan looked outside the window of the elevator and quickly counted the time to reach the top and said, "We still have about two minutes to reach the top. You will keep saying facts about yourself until the end and I will tell you which one is true or false. If you manage to trick me, I will shorten your sentence by ten years."

"Deal." Wuxing agreed. Having someone challenging him like this, he couldn't say no to it. What's more, he wanted to see what methods she would use to keep such a promise. Knowing that she could kill anyone as she wished in this prison, it wouldn't be a surprise if it was possible for her.

A conversation was also a nice pain reliever as he was still suffering from it. He stopped himself from bleeding out while being transported, but he didn't fix any wounds at the lady doctor would find out about it later.

The guards looked at each other with serious expressions, turning up the level of her vigilance. It was actually the first time they witnessed their miss talk so much with another man and she even played around with him while laughing. Now she even proposed to play a game with him, even though she didn't know him at all. Those signs made them suspicious.

Without wasting time, Wuxing started, "I am an orphan." His face turned completely expressionless as he stopped giving any signals that could give him away.

"That's the truth." Miss Guan said with a grin as she wrapped her hands under her full chest.

"I had two brothers." Wuxing continued right after.

"False." Miss Guan also replied right away, not even hesitating.

This made Wuxing frown as no one knew that he actually had three blood-related brothers instead of two that were recorded in his database. No one knew about the third one who died one month after being born due to the health problems.

"You still have one minute. I thought you were trained? I saw right through you without any effort." Miss Guan teased him without mercy.

"My favourite colour is blue." Her provocation didn't do anything to him as he turned serious once again and started giving out more statements.

"True."

"I hate seafood."

"False."

"I can disassemble a gun in 8 seconds."

"That's the truth, but come on, only 8? Even I can do it in 8 seconds." Lady doctor added as she mocked him.

Hearing her being correct on every statement, he decided to hit her with something different right before the elevator his the top, saying, "I am innocent and I am being framed into murder. I didn't do anything wrong to get into this prison."

Miss Guan was now the one to frown. The door of the elevator opened but she continued to look at his face. She actually didn't expect him to be innocent. She knew he was from the Seven Stars Special Forces as she heard that from the short-wave radio.

Her interest in him was born from his tough body, which could survive two gunshots and his high pain tolerance. Miss Guan didn't care what he was even put into prison for as she herself wasn't that innocent either. Him not lying was also another factor which she liked about him.

"Miss?" One of her private guards asked in his deep voice.

"... That was also the truth. To think that you are actually innocent... I will try to do something about it." The lady doctor said in wonder before she assured him, quickly deciding to help him which made him both happy and confused.

Happy because his plan of running away was now much more possible and confused cause she actually found out all of his lies just as she said. He didn't think that it was his fault but rather her skills were too good.

"Thank you. If you can help me get a lawyer here to represent me outside, I would be more than grateful." Wuxing thanked her sincerely.

"Sure. I can do this much." Miss Guan agreed before she walked out of the elevator saying, "Anyway, you lost. You owe me one thing. I will tell you later what I want."

"I'm fine with that." Wuxing didn't have a reason not to agree.

The lady doctor walked forward a few steps before she untied her hair and suddenly turned around her head, allowing her hair to fly in the wind as she said cooly, "Also, my name is Guan Dongmei. Remember it."
