She had been discovered.
Tang Zhi stared at that door with an inexplicable expression.
As expected, the door was pushed open halfway.
But when she saw the person behind the door, Tang Zhi was stunned.
"Miss Tang, why are you here?"
Yun Hai, who was originally tensed up, was also very astonished when he saw Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi pursed her lips and glanced behind him. There was no one else.
But she had clearly heard footsteps from more than five people.
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the dark red color on Yun Hai's hand and froze.
Tang Zhi was silent and only looked up after a while. "Vice President Yun, you're staying inside? Is it convenient for me to go in and take a look?"
Yun Hai's expression changed. "Miss Tang…"
"Let her in."
A low and magnetic voice came from behind the wall. Tang Zhi's heart instantly skipped a beat.
Upon hearing He Chen's words, Yun Hai was even more shocked than when he saw Tang Zhi here.
She calmed herself down and said, "Miss Tang, please go ahead."
Tang Zhi didn't hesitate and stepped in.
The moment she entered, she saw the man sitting at the stone table.
The man was wearing a black shirt. His sleeves were half rolled up, revealing a part of his wrist. His legs were crossed in front of him and his gaze was sharp and soulful.
Tang Zhi paused and went up to greet him. "Master Chen."
Yun Hai's mouth was slightly agape as he thought to himself, Miss Tang was really smart.
He Chen raised his head slightly and looked at her. "You saw everything?"
Tang Zhi pondered for a moment and nodded. "Yes."
He Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Yun Hai. He said indifferently, "Go wash yourself clean before coming back."
Yun Hai followed his line of sight and saw the bloodstains on his hands. His heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly left.
There were only two people left in the courtyard. Tang Zhi felt baffled.
He Chen glanced at her. "Aren't you afraid?"
"Would Master Chen harm me?"
He Chen tilted his head and looked at her meaningfully. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "No."
The corners of Tang Zhi's mouth curled up, as though she was very satisfied with his answer. "Then why should I be afraid?"
After a round of questions, the courtyard became quiet.
Before long, Yun Hai returned.
He changed into a clean set of clothes and the marks on his hands disappeared.
Tang Zhi seemed contemplative as she turned her head. "Is there something for you to attend to here, Master Chen?"
He Chen replied calmly, "Yes."
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Zhi still didn't ask if he needed help.
"I'm looking for someone," He Chen suddenly added.
Tang Zhi's originally slightly crestfallen mood instantly brightened and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smirk.
Yun Hai was stunned. Master Chen actually took the initiative to tell Miss Tang about their affairs?
He must have misheard.
"Have you found the person that Master Chen is looking for?"
"No, but soon."
"Is there danger?"
"Not really."
"That's good…"
The conversation between the two was casual and harmonious.
It wasn't until Tang Zhi stood up to bid farewell that Yun Hai recovered from his shock.
"Master Chen, you told Miss Tang about us…"
He Chen glanced at him. "Is there a problem?"
Yun Hai shuddered. "No, no."
He didn't dare to ask any questions. He was just curious why Master Chen was so… friendly towards Miss Tang.
"After staying in Huanyu for so long, your vigilance has already dropped to this level?"
Yun Hai's body went rigid. He immediately said seriously, "I was careless. Please punish me, Master Chen."
He actually let Miss Tang see the bloodstains on his body. As one of the four pavilion masters, this was a very low-level and serious mistake.
"Yes, go back and receive your punishment."
"Yes." Yun Hai didn't dare to slack off.
