It's over...
Why was Feng Ze back?
And why did he have to come back at exactly this moment?
Looking at Feng Ze's expression, Tao Zhiyan's mind went completely blank.
He slowly stood up and hid his hands behind his back, staring at the listening device without knowing how to explain. "I-it's just..."
"Tao Zhiyan," Feng Ze interrupted. Holding the bug between his fingers, he frowned slightly. "Did you put this here?"

Tao Zhiyan blurted out instinctively, "I didn't put it here. I didn't."

"Do you realize I could have you put behind bars for planting this in my room?"
Tao Zhiyan looked up. "I..."

"You wanted to sneak it away because you were afraid I'd find the evidence?"

"I didn't." Tao Zhiyan grew anxious. He opened his mouth, but still didn't know how to explain. "I really didn't..."
The sight of Tao Zhiyan stumbling over his words
