Chapter 46 The Evidence

• Three days later, Duo returned the recording pen to me. She was visibly nervous and reminded me continuously to not let Mu Chenfeng know that it was her that started the fire. She could not afford to lose her job.
• I too was torn. If I was to let Mu Chenfeng know the truth, he would definitely come to know about Duo's involvement. Without that crucial detail, it would be uncharacteristic of him to believe me.
• However, were I to expose Duo, I shuddered to think about what he would do to her. Since I promised Duo to keep her secret, I would keep her out of harm's way. Although she did what she did, she was just a pawn in the scheme. I would keep my word in absolving her of any responsibility for the fire.
