A long silence followed as if someone pressed a pause button.

Linfeng did not know how to react.

He wanted to applause for his Young Miss' sharp tongue and courage to snap back at this mysterious man surnamed Lu.

There was also a bit of a helpless feeling because the way she talked to the other man… was not exactly polite either.

Linfeng, Xiong Zhi, and Mr. Kang looked towards the source with varying expressions of surprise, but the receiver of their looks was an expressionless man who simply stared back at them.

His cold eyes finally gave out a hint of confusion, seemingly asking, 'What?'

The other three wondered if perhaps they had heard it wrong. 

Lu Jin's face was the same as always.
