Huo Er, standing behind Kang Chen, heard this and let out a sigh of relief. The Young Madam handled things cleanly, leaving no trails behind.
Kang Chen looked around as he walked out, but did not see a trace of Ming Mei anywhere.
Could it really have been his illusion? Could it be that Ming Mei never came here, and that last night, he was merely confused and dreamed of her?
Kang Chen closed his eyes, but that feeling... it was just too real.
He ran his hand over his lips; the feeling was so vivid, as if Ming Mei's breath was still on his lips, faint but truly present.
Kang Chen gritted his teeth; Huo Er clearly lied to him, someone was indeed outside just now. His judgment wasn't wrong—it was them conspiring to deceive him.
Kang Chen called out sharply, "Summon the men to search the camp; if anyone suspicious is found, bring them to me immediately."
Huo Er's heart tightened again, Mr. Chen, why can't you just let go?
