Lin Yi's sudden words echoed, startling Caie Mitsui.
Her body stiffened, her heart raced, and she didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Lin..."
Lin Yi leaned back in his chair, staring into Caie Mitsui's eyes, his voice heavy.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Yi repeated softly, causing the hairs on Caie Mitsui's body to stand on end.
"I... I want..."
Summoning immense courage, Caie Mitsui tried to clarify her thoughts, but Lin Yi's gaze made her feel entirely uneased.
Those deep-set eyes seemed like knives, stripping her layer by layer. In front of him, no secrets could be hidden.
"I... I want to leave. This way, you'll be safe."
"Do you really think I need a woman to get me out of this mess?"
"But there's no other way now," Caie Mitsui said softly.
"So you believe turning yourself in will help?"
"I have records of dealings with prominent figures. If they refuse to release you, I'll expose everything. Worst-case scenario, we'll go down together. I've already made up my mind."
