The bodyguards were long accustomed to this; they thought nothing of it. At first, they hadn't paid much attention to the noise. They assumed it was simply because Ling Zhiying’s mental condition was deteriorating. However, late that night, while everything was deathly still, the sound of glass shattering on the floor suddenly broke the silence, jolting the two guards who had been fishing.
At first, they were only mildly confused and didn't care much. It wasn't as if Ling Zhiying hadn't thrown things in a rage before—it happened almost daily. They couldn't be bothered to intervene; they couldn't control him, and they certainly couldn't stop him. As long as he was happy, they let him smash whatever he wanted. After all, his family had plenty of money; once he was done, they would just buy new things for him to break.
But after an hour passed and there was still no movement from the room, the silence grew terrifying. This was abnormal compared to the usual routine, and the guards began to feel nervous. What if Ling Zhiying had finally snapped and was doing something horrific? If anything happened to him, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. Their heads would be on the line.
