Yu Song nodded grimly. "Would've succeeded too if he hadn't made that sound."
Meng Nian ran a hand through his hair. "We beat the shit out of him. But he just kept laughing."
"He said someone told him to do it," Ruihuang added. "Someone watching from above."
Qingran didn't respond immediately. She stepped past them and looked down at Wei Sheng, now trembling and huddled in the corner like a scared animal.
She turned back to the others.
"Does anyone else know?"
"No.." Meng Nian said. "We kept it inside."
"Keep it that way."
They all stared at her.
"If word spreads through the bunker that one of us snapped and attacked someone, there'll be panic. People are already sleeping with one eye open. This will break them."
"But what if he tries again?" Yu Song said tightly.
"He won't.." she said. "He won't get the chance."
They carried Wei Sheng out and locked him in a small maintenance room two doors down.
