Silence.
The only sound that could be heard in Mingshen's office was that of the ticking clock. The hands of the clock that propelled the time forward scared Wei.
He felt as if his sweet life with Lihua was close to ending. Time was approaching fast when Lihua would know everything one day. At that time, she wouldn't smile at him like usual. Instead, she would cry and curse him.
Wei covered his ears and tightly shut his eyes. He wanted the ticking sound to stop. It was irritating. It was threatening him with the impending danger that he might soon face. But even so, he could clearly hear the sound of time moving forward.
He gnashed his teeth as he grabbed the pen stand and threw it towards the clock in his office. The clock came crashing down with a loud thud that broke it apart.
