"What should we do now?"
Ren's mother was also anxious. Couldn't things be quiet for once? Did they have to argue here non-stop? What if Ren Li woke up because of the noise? What then? Wasn't this asking for trouble, what else could it be?
Ren Ying's eyes darted around before she turned to address her mother.
"Mom, just watch him for now, make sure he doesn't scream," Ren Ying said, then hurriedly ran out and closed the door. As she came out, she also tiptoed to Ren Li's room, pressing her ear against the door, trying to detect any sounds from inside. After crouching there a long while, she heard nothing.
She placed her hand on the doorknob, and for a moment, she wanted to open the door, to see with her own eyes whether Ren Li was awake or not. Otherwise, she felt utterly unsettled. She feared that during the long night, before they could get rid of Tang Xincheng, Ren Li might catch them red-handed. If that happened, her son's life would be over.
