West's expression darkened slightly, realizing that something was seriously off with that time frame. Two weeks ago was before Zu Li even mentioned anything.
"…And the apartment?"
The man flinched slightly.
"I—I heard sounds…"
"When?"
"…Midnight. Yesterday."
West's eyes flickered.
"I swear I don't know what's going on!" the man rushed out. "I didn't even know her properly! Maybe—maybe she pissed off someone important or something—!"
He paused slightly before adding; "…But she was already gone."
"Long before… whatever happened in there."
West straightened with a look of understanding.
"…I see."
Without another word, he turned and walked away.
The man stood in place waiting for some sort of punishment but nothing happened.
There was no sudden attack or any sort of retaliation like he had expected.
West simply… left...
"…I'm alive…"
The man collapsed back against his doorway, trembling.
"…I'm actually alive…"
