Villa, reception room.
Qin Qing had come to visit and was invited here by Chi Qian and the others to wait for the time being.
Mu Yan had already gotten up to call Su Ming.
Feng Qing'er and Tong Xinyao were not present, seemingly trying to avoid suspicion.
Only Chi Qian remained to receive Qin Qing, exchanging polite pleasantries with her.
Both of them were prominent figures in Tianfeng City. Once they began exchanging courtesies, they had no shortage of topics to discuss, and the conversation was fairly enjoyable.
It was not until roughly ten minutes later that Su Ming arrived.
"Su—"
Qin Qing spotted Su Ming first. She stood up and was about to speak to him, but for some reason, she suddenly stopped.
"Captain?"
Chi Qian also rose to her feet and stared blankly at Su Ming, looking utterly astonished.
The two prominent figures of Tianfeng City stared at Su Ming as he walked through the door. Then, they both fell silent.
There was only one reason.
The moment Su Ming entered the room, both women, whose senses were exceptionally sharp, felt something was wrong for an instant.
That feeling was like an invisible pressure, or perhaps an indescribable presence. It was difficult to put into words.
Thus, both Qin Qing and Chi Qian froze in place, their entire bodies tensing up.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Su Ming spoke up, his tone as casual as ever, with its usual hint of laziness.
That caused the slight unease in Qin Qing and Chi Qian's hearts to vanish involuntarily, as though everything that had just happened had merely been an illusion. The two women were left somewhat bewildered.
Qin Qing was still the first to recover and adjust her mindset and condition.
"I'm sorry."
