The moment the word "suicide" was spoken, silence fell. The leader who had been giving orders also stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head to look at Shi Li behind him.
The goggles made it impossible for Shi Li to see his expression, but she could feel his gaze. It was definitely unfriendly right now.
"Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about someone else?" The man was silent for a long time—so long that Shi Li felt her legs grow so weak she could barely stand.
"Take them both!" With that, the man walked ahead, leaving the two of them to be firmly seized by the other guards.
Shi Li was practically thrown into the detention cell. She clutched her arm in pain.
The hard, cold floor. The fall felt like it had nearly broken her bones.
Shi Li couldn't help but glare back fiercely at the guards.
The only response she got was the deafening SLAM of the iron door.
The shock of it made Shi Li blink.
It felt like the impact had rattled her entire body.
