The door was forced open. Inside, the room was neat as a pin.
The bed didn't even have a mattress, looking as if no one had ever lived there.
Xie Mingxu and the Zhi Jinwu entered at the same time and began searching everywhere.
Shen Ningning stood at the entrance, peeking in with her pink lips pursed.
Xie Mingxu walked to the only wooden cabinet in the room. He opened it, and his expression changed in an instant.
He slammed the cabinet door shut.
"There's no one here," he said.
The Zhi Jinwu turned back. After a moment of thoughtful observation, he said, "General Xie, allow me to check it myself, just to be absolutely sure."
After all, the cabinet was large enough to easily hide a person.
Xie Mingxu was silent for a moment before stepping back. "Be my guest."
The Zhi Jinwu walked to the cabinet, deliberately turning his head to glance at Shen Ningning's expression.
The little girl's fair, innocent face was veiled by a hazy fog, as if she knew nothing at all.
