In the room next door, Huo Zhanting, Su Xingye, and Li Yucheng were about to explode with rage.
But their anger reached such a peak that the air grew utterly silent.
Beneath the silence, however, an even more violent fury churned.
Huo Zhanting's hand, which was resting on the coffee table, lifted slightly. The next second—
Cracks began to spread out from the spot where his hand had been, spiderwebbing across the once perfectly smooth and clean coffee table.
Then, with a CRACK...
...it was as if it could no longer bear the strain.
With a SNAP, it shattered completely.
The tabletop splintered and fell to the floor with a loud THUD.
And that thud...
...startled Yu Lan out of her dazed and confused state.
Yu Lan hurriedly pulled her hand back from Jun Lin Yuan's grasp, her face flushing slightly.
She quickly reached out, trying to help Jun Lin Yuan up.
"You... you... you, get up first."
"Don't be like this. Whatever it is, we can discuss it calmly."
