Yao Ruyi lowered his head and said nothing. From the incessantly tapping thumb he placed on the table, it was not difficult to discern his inner anxiety.
Indeed, when Yao Ruyi initially lied to Zhao and the others, it was due to his unspeakable hardship. This was not solely because he needed to complete the role Liu Fugui had prepared to secure a ticket to reside in the villa.
More importantly, it was a secret connected to the incident at Juli Sports Arena, which he could not reveal.
Yao Ruyi's silence made Old Xu restless. He intended to remind Yao Ruyi that using such a passive mute method would not allow him to escape this conversation, but his action was stopped by Tang Xiaoquan at his side.
Tang Xiaoquan patted Old Xu's lifted right hand, signaling him to give Yao Ruyi some time.
Upon further reflection, Old Xu agreed, for the main purpose of their conversation was merely to uncover the truth, not to do anything to Yao Ruyi.
