"Captain, I—I'm not a traitor!"
In her panic, Yu Zhizhi blurted it out, not even knowing what she was saying. Her will to survive drove her to "defend" herself.
Many servants entered the dining hall and began to clean up the mess on the floor.
Shen He watched the young woman's small, blood-streaked face. She had been trying to wipe it clean for a while, only making it worse. He felt the urge to snatch her handkerchief and wipe her face clean for her.
But her eyes were still sparkling. A little jasmine flower stained with blood was still a pure white jasmine flower.
'Just listen to her. What is she even saying?'
"You are not a citizen of the Deep Sea, nor are you my subordinate. Naturally, you can't be a traitor."
'Not a traitor…'
'Right, 'traitor' isn't the right word.'
Yu Zhizhi quickly added, "And I'm not a spy!"
"Of course." Shen He's rich, deep voice seemed to hold a hint of a smile. "I had my men specially invite you. How could you be a spy?"
