Chapter 25
In Zhang Yuan's eyes, Yoren had been missing for three whole days. So this reaction was completely normal.
Zhang Yuan raised his hand and tossed the broom aside, his expression complicated as he looked at Yoren.
"Where the hell have you been these past few days? No one answers when I knock on your door, and your phone's been off every time I call."
Yoren lowered his head, his face unreadable.
"I'm sorry... something happened."
"Something happened? What, did you get caught up with loan sharks?"
"No, just... don't ask."
It was clear Yoren didn't want to talk. His mind wasn't here at all.
He sank into his chair like a lifeless puppet, but Zhang Yuan wasn't about to let him off so easily. He immediately followed and sat beside him, eyes sharp with concern.
"Yoren, do you realize that if you hadn't shown up today, the teacher was going to call the police? Hell, even if she didn't, I would've."
Yoren mumbled, barely loud enough to hear.
