Second Brother squinted his eyes and glanced at him, a hint of teasing in his gaze, "I originally thought you just went out to relieve yourself, but it turns out so much time has passed, several hours at that."
Liang Yuening scratched his head, looking at Second Brother then at Big Brother, guilt written all over his face. "I... I just went out for a bit, didn't really do anything."
Second Brother slightly curled his lips, "Protesting too much is like the thief who hides his loot yet claims there's no silver here."
Immediately after, Second Brother looked towards Big Brother, "Big Brother, do you believe him?"
Liang Zhichen furrowed his brows and then lowered his voice to ask, "I've estimated the time, and your round trip matches the time it would take to go to Taihang Town and back. Tell me, what exactly did you go do in the middle of the night by running down the mountain?"
Liang Yuening stammered for a while, then hung his head.
