She hesitated outside the door next to hers for a long time before finally knocking. But there was no response from inside. She pushed the door open and saw that the room was empty, not even a ghost shadow.
Zhi Chen hadn't returned all night. Ever since he moved into this small courtyard, he had never spent the night outside. Could something have happened? Was he held up by something? She suddenly recalled a similar incident that happened back when they were in the Golden Triangle.
It was during that time when first they lost contact with Zhi Chen. Although they found him eventually, he was unconscious when they did. By the time they revived him, he couldn't remember her.
She lost her calm, perhaps it was a case of once bitten twice shy. Nearly out of her wits, she rushed out of the courtyard and hurried towards the Blue Mansion in a panic.
