Alice did indeed owe Chen Tang two favors...
During the night raid on the General's Mansion by the Ikawa Clan, as well as the subsequent battle at Kyoto Harbor Dock to rescue Princess Shunzi, Alice led her Assassin Alliance's experts to fight for Chen Tang on both occasions. That's how the debts of gratitude were incurred.

Chen Tang had no choice but to stew in his own frustrations...
