Shu Yu shook her head with a smile, bowed, and stepped aside to stand next to Meng Yunzheng.

His eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at Kong Zhiyou.
Evidently, he assumed that she killed Chen Ji.
Kong Zhiyou did not look at him, just glanced at Shu Yu, her eyes revealing a hint of disillusionment.
Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, hey, hey, hey, what's with that expression? It seems as if being here is intended to malign her.
She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and looked toward Lord Xie, seated behind the desk.
