Shin Tingming looked at Shen Donghai nonchalantly before asking him to take a seat. The two sat across as their eyes remained at each other. 

Shen Donghai was edgy in his stance but in front of the royal authority, he tried his best to maintain his calm. Yet the anger was too evident through his balled-up hands and agitation laced in his gaze.  "Brother, won't you say anything?"

Shin Tingming wasn't interested in reading people but out of a habit from all these years and shaped sharp eyes, he has grown prone to it now. "Yesterday, I have gone out of the city to check the site of our upcoming project. So, when everything happened, I wasn't in the palace. I heard it only in the later afternoon from Mr. Cao." He said with his calmness, looking into his eyes.
