The Tang family retreated to their bedrooms, sensing the tense atmosphere and not wanting to get involved in whatever had transpired with Li Xinjie and Li Chen.

Li Xinjie nodded grimly. "This was an inevitability we've been preparing for. But with Agent 12 and 14 eliminated, it puts us one step closer to true freedom."
