"Song, I'm really sorry."
As soon as Niki spoke, she actually started with an apology.
Song Heping smelled trouble.
"Looks like I've provoked some serious trouble?"
Niki's face was awkward, and her eyes didn't dare to meet Song Heping's. Instead, they wandered around as if she was contemplating how to explain.
"Well, sort of…"
Niki admitted it when pressed.
"Wait a second." Song Heping said with a mocking tone, "I work for the military, and then you come telling me, 'Ah... Song, you've got big trouble, but we can't help you, you have to sort it out yourself'?"
Niki seemed even more embarrassed.
