"B–Brother Zhi!" Tang Ye ran back again with a huge relieved smile on his face. "Thank God, you're okay! That was such a close call! We thought something bad had happened to you inside! By the way, what is…" his gaze moved to the leather journal in Zhi's hand, only for Zhi to slip it inside his pocket. The indication behind his action couldn't be clearer – he would not let anyone see this item he had brought out at the expense of his own life.
The atmosphere turned extremely awkward after that.
Tang Ye opened his mouth to say something, only to close it again because he had no idea what to say. After all, they were the ones who had decided to leave Zhi to fend for himself, and he had no idea how much the man had heard.
Wouldn't it be too shameless of them to force him to reveal the content of the journal after everything they had said and done?
