Chapter 1079: Truth and Lies

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Heng returned to the hospital Fan Meinan was warded.

He parked his car in the parking lot and led the woman in the black tennis uniform into the hospital building. He met the nurse on duty at the station this time, not expecting visitors to arrive so early. According to the rules, Zhang Heng and the woman in the black tennis uniform had to register before being allowed in.

Fan Meinan was clearly a little scared when she saw the woman in the black tennis uniform entering her ward. In particular, she was probably reminded of the knife that was stuck on the bedside table not long ago. She took half a step back but still called out softly, “Sis.”

“Don’t. I don’t deserve that. You and your little boyfriend have already caught me twice,” the woman in black tennis uniform said calmly. “I’m just tonic for your love life. When you’re in a bad mood, you catch me to play with.”

“It’s not like that,” Fan Meinan explained. “We just want to ask you for a favor.”

“What? At this point, are you still going to keep up your act?” the woman in the black tennis uniform sneered.

Then, Zhang Heng suddenly chimed in. “It seems it’s going to be difficult for you two to trust each other in such a short time. If this goes on, it will be difficult for you to make any substantial progress in the conversation.”

“Do you have any suggestions then?” the woman in the black tennis uniform asked.

Zhang Heng took out the Vow Rings and a piece of parchment from his pocket.

“This is an item. Next, all you have to do is cut your finger to fuse the blood together and write an oath on this parchment that you will not lie. After that, you will each wear a ring. Once the other party lies, the ring on your finger will heat up.”

“Oh, I believe I have played this game before,” the woman in the black tennis uniform said as she took one of the copper rings and slipped it on her finger. “I have no objections.”

“Me either,” Fan Meinan said as she put on the other ring.

After the two wrote down their vows on the parchment according to Zhang Heng’s instructions, they each handed the hand with the ring on it to Zhang Heng, the adjudicator.

“You can first ask a question that you know the answer to.”

“Then I’ll go first,” Fan Meinan said and asked the woman in the black tennis uniform opposite her, “What’s your name?”

“Cheng Sihan.”

“No problem,” Zhang Heng said. He could feel that Fan Meinan’s ring remained cool, which meant that Cheng Sihan was indeed the woman’s real name in the black tennis uniform.

Next, it was Cheng Sihan’s turn to ask a question. However, a hint of malice flashed in her eyes as she said, “It’s not a coincidence that you met Zhang Heng for the first time.”

Fan Meinan’s pupils constricted. After a moment of silence, she nodded. “Yes.”

“The truth.” Zhang Heng’s expression did not change. “You’ve successfully passed the test. You can now ask your own questions.”

However, Cheng Sihan did not change the topic to the competition. Instead, she continued, “You approached Zhang Heng because of Loki.”

Fan Meinan was silent for half a minute. “Yes,” she replied with a little difficulty.

“The truth.”

“Are you finding it hard to answer, my dear sister? I was just getting started,” Cheng Sihan said with a smile. “It’s such a rare opportunity for everyone to be so honest. I can expose all your dirt to your boyfriend.”

It was Fan Meinan’s turn to ask the question. She tried to calm herself down so that she wouldn’t be influenced by her sister. She then asked, “Why did you kill me?”

“I don’t like you,” Cheng Sihan said with a shrug.

“That’s a lie.” Zhang Heng could feel the heat coming from Fan Meinan’s ring, so he reminded Cheng Sihan, “You’d better tell the truth.”

“Ok. Loki asked me to do that,” Cheng Sihan said.

“The truth.”

Cheng Sihan continued to ask, “Have you been jealous of Loki’s favor on me all this time? You want to replace me, even though I’m your guide. Back then, I saw how pitiful you were and recommended you to Loki.”

“I didn’t.” Fan Meinan shook her head. “But I do envy you because you did everything that Loki asked you to do well. He only asked me to do one thing, and I didn’t do it well.”

“The truth.”

Cheng Sihan was surprised.

But soon, Fan Meinan asked again, “Why did Loki ask you to kill me?”

“Because this is my test. Although it’s a little late, if I pass this test, Rocky won’t have any other choice but to choose me as his agent,” Cheng Sihan replied calmly. She then finally became a little more serious. Not wanting to expose Fan Meinan’s dirty secrets, she thought for a moment and asked, “Why did you catch me this time?”

“To find out Loki’s whereabouts.” Fan Meinan looked very surprised. “Wait, did you not pass Loki’s Test?”

“What else? If I passed his test, would you still be standing here talking to me?” Cheng Sihan sneered. “If my ability hadn’t disappeared, you would have caught me so easily.” She paused and continued, “If you want to know where Loki is, why don’t you ask him directly?”

“Because I’ve lost contact with him for a long time. He took back the power he gave me,” Fan Meinan said.

“The truth.”

At that moment, Cheng Sihan’s expression changed. She had even forgotten that one-person-one-question rule. “Did you also fail your test?” she asked.

Fan Meinan nodded. “Your test was to kill me, and my test was to kill Zhang Heng... It seems we’ve both made our choices.”

“It seems you really like him.”

For the first time, Fan Meinan didn’t answer. After a moment, she asked, “I wanted to become Loki’s agent to cheat death, but you never told me how you became Loki’s agent.”

“The same reason as yours, but I did it to save my foster father,” Cheng Sihan said calmly. “He has terminal cancer, and he doesn’t have much time left.”

“Then why did you give up halfway?”

“Now that I’ve lost my ability to disguise, I don’t feel confident that I can handle the police investigation. The risk is too great. I thought about it and decided to let go,” Cheng Sihan said casually.

“Liar.”

“There are only a dozen hours left until the end of the first round of the proxy war. If we don’t pass the test, What will Loki do? Isn’t he worried that he wouldn’t have a proxy?” Fan Meinan asked, confused. “Or does he want to quit the game?”

“Loki loves excitement so much that it’s impossible for him to quit the game.” Cheng Sihan’s face turned grave. “This guy probably fooled us from the beginning to the end. Could he have already chosen his own agent outside of us?”
