The two were in the middle of an argument, but immediately fell silent when they heard some commotion from outside. They looked at each other in silence.
Fear was evident on Song Taojie's face.
"What's going on? Did our arguing just now alert these people? Have they sent someone to take us down in one fell swoop?"
Chen Kai was silent for a while, then gently shook his head.
"You might be overthinking it. If those guys were really coming to give us trouble, they would already be making a loud racket, barging in through the door. But they haven't done so, which suggests that they're not after us."
Song Taojie agreed with Chen Kai's reasoning and nodded in silence, but then he had another question.
"So, what do you think is the reason? It was really quiet just now, probably because Xie Enci told them not to make noise here. But now it's so noisy outside, something must have happened."
Chen Kai didn't respond, but walked slowly towards the door and stealthily opened a crack.
