“Hmm…?”

Qiao Jiajin and Chen Junnan both looked at Qin Dingdong at the same time.

“Why are you looking at me?”

Qin Dingdong waved her hand, dispersing the smoke caused by the black bead shattering before her, her expression unchanged.

“Sister Dong, what did you just say?” Chen Junnan asked tentatively.

“Just now? Oh oh…” Qin Dingdong smiled very naturally. “If you ask me, this ‘Heavenly-Snake Moment’ is really interesting. It can’t even tell when I’m lying. So it turns out all questions just need to be answered? If I’d known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so nervous.”

“You lied?” Qiao Jiajin also felt something wasn’t quite right. “Pretty lady, the two of us demonstrated for you, and then you chose to lie?”

“Yeah, is that not allowed?” Qin Dingdong asked back. “Just now this bastard Chen Junnan said he wasn’t stupid, and didn’t he pass too?”

Chen Junnan was slightly stunned after hearing this: “No… wait… you mean I just lied?”

“What’s wrong? Aren’t you stupid?” Qin Dingdong continued. “You let everyone judge.”

“Where the fuck is there ‘everyone’?” Chen Junnan said. “Is my image in your heart really this bizarre?”

The two started arguing, but Qiao Jiajin kept frowning.

After ten seconds, he spoke up to interrupt their argument: “Pretty lady… don’t change the subject. Even Junnan boy got led astray by you.”

“Change the subject? I didn’t!”

“Why exactly are you causing trouble?” Qiao Jiajin asked again.

Chen Junnan also reacted at this moment and hurriedly asked: “Sister Dong… I also think something’s not right… You don’t look like you want to die. The first two people survived by telling the truth. Why would you risk lying?”

“I…” Qin Dingdong’s eyes kept dodging as she thought of a countermeasure in her mind.

“So what you said wasn’t a lie at all, right?” Chen Junnan asked again. “What trouble are you causing exactly? Is clinging to me also for this purpose?”

After hearing this, Qin Dingdong pursed her lips, then pointed a finger at Chen Junnan’s nose and said: “You bastard, don’t talk nonsense. Me looking for you is one thing, causing trouble is another. These are completely two different matters.”

“Okay, okay, okay, then tell me what you’ve been doing?” Chen Junnan thought for a moment and added another sentence. “Who’s directing you?”

After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin also thought of something: “Causing trouble… Pretty lady, are you also ‘Extreme Path’?”

“What? Me?” After hearing this, Qin Dingdong smiled and shook her head. “You’re overthinking it. Sister here is a professional con artist. I’ve always preferred to act alone. How could I possibly join some organization?”

“Then why are you causing trouble?” Qiao Jiajin asked.

“Hmm…” Qin Dingdong’s lie had obviously been exposed, but she still looked composed, only looking at Qiao Jiajin and asking, “Ajin, is this question very important? Sister has never harmed you guys. So many things happened before and I never saw you this serious. Can’t you let sister off this time?”

“No.” Qiao Jiajin nodded. “Before, no matter what happened, I could pretend not to care, but now it’s different… I can feel that Liar is at a critical stage now. If someone causes trouble, it might have a bad influence on him.”

After hearing this, Qin Dingdong nodded: “I see, no wonder you suddenly care so much about me causing trouble.”

“Sister Dong…” Chen Junnan called out with furrowed brows. “At this point, just tell the truth. If no one is directing you, why are you causing trouble?”

“Sigh… Actually speaking of it… I’m just mingling among all kinds of people and various teams, then messing up everyone’s relationships, randomly killing a few people, making everyone’s goals completely chaotic, so no one can escape. That’s all.” Qin Dingdong said with a troubled expression. “Does this look like a bad person?”

“This doesn’t look like a good person either, right?” Qiao Jiajin said dumbfoundedly. “This sounds no different from ‘Extreme Path’s’ methods!”

“I don’t even know what ‘Extreme Path’ is trying to do.” Qin Dingdong said with a smile. “I also made a deal with someone. He taught me skills, and I do things for him. That’s all.”

Upon hearing the four words “taught me skills,” Chen Junnan’s expression instantly changed.

They had once met Wei Yang. That notorious con artist had crazily called Qin Dingdong his “most beloved disciple” at the time. Chen Junnan didn’t believe it then, but now it seemed more and more true.

“What the hell…” Chen Junnan lowered his head and muttered to himself. “Did you really go learn from him?”

“What?” Qin Dingdong looked at Chen Junnan with confusion. Because his voice was too soft, she couldn’t hear what Chen Junnan was saying at all, so she could only change the subject and ask, “Now sister should have finished answering, right? Do you still have questions?”

After hearing this, Chen Junnan raised his head and asked with a serious expression: “What is Wei Yang’s purpose? Why is he having you do the same things as ‘Extreme Path’?”

“You…” After hearing this, Qin Dingdong hesitated slightly. “How did you know it was Wei Yang?”

“Sister Dong, when we met, although you called yourself a ‘con artist,’ you didn’t do a single thing that resembled a ‘con artist’ from beginning to end.” Chen Junnan said. “But seven years later when I came back, you became a genuine con artist. Is this the skill you learned?”

“Ha…” After hearing this, Qin Dingdong laughed helplessly, then said, “Bastard… you still have the face to ask. My finding Wei Yang as a teacher was thanks to you in the first place.”

“Because of me…?” Chen Junnan was stunned.

“Sister always called herself a con artist, but ended up being conned by you, this scumbag.” Qin Dingdong said. “I wanted to escape the bitter sea and stay away from scumbags, so I could only visit the old veteran.”

“What kind of talk is this?” Chen Junnan was rarely somewhat angry. “This young master conducts himself openly and honestly throughout his life. How could I possibly con you?!”

“Then why are you avoiding me?”

“Because this young master told a little lie.”

After hearing this, Qin Dingdong was about to kick Chen Junnan, but Chen Junnan nimbly dodged.

“No no no…” Chen Junnan said while dodging. “Sister Dong, I really have my reasons, but now you can’t listen to Wei Yang anymore.”

“Why?”

“Although I don’t know specifically what Wei Yang is trying to do, I always feel his goal conflicts with Old Qi’s.” Chen Junnan organized his thoughts and said again. “Do you trust him or Old Qi?”

After hearing this, Qin Dingdong pondered for a while, then spoke: “Chen Junnan, I really want to believe Student Qi, but there’s a question I can never figure out.”

“What question?”

“I always suspect…” Qin Dingdong reached out and tapped her temple. “That my own memories are fake.”
