As Li Chen and Zhang Mei entered the room, the air instantly tensed, their presence disrupting the heated conversation between the Jiangs and Tang Ziyi. Li Chen's expression darkened at the sight of the unwelcome guests, his brows furrowing in irritation.
"What's going on here?" Li Chen's voice was sharp, cutting through the tension in the room like a knife.
Tang Ziyi turned to face Li Chen, his expression troubled. "They're asking about their missing daughter, Brother Chen," he explained, his tone tinged with frustration.
Zhang Mei placed a comforting hand on Tang Ziyi's shoulder before addressing Li Chen. "Let me go and check on Madam Tang, honey. Call me when we leave," she suggested, her voice calm but determined.
Li Chen hesitated for a moment before nodding. "We still have to wait for the others, so take your time," he replied, his tone softening slightly.
