Actually, during the brief time He Xi and Liang Bing had met downstairs, Ye Yang had already sensed that their relationship wasn't as close as it seemed.
He Xi had been cold and distant the entire time.
Combined with the sorry state of Liang Bing's torn clothes, Ye Yang guessed the two women had probably gotten into a fight downstairs.
Liang Bing was a Metahuman who had awakened her Super Gene, yet she was in such a sorry state.
That meant—
Teacher He Xi was a Metahuman, too.
