Shen Nie couldn't bear to see Ming Mei so helpless and scared. He said, "If you want to know, I'll send someone to find out."
Originally, Shen Nie really didn't want to tell Ming Mei, but... as he was leaving, he suddenly felt that if Ming Mei found out in the future that he had hidden it from her, perhaps... they wouldn't even be able to maintain a simple friendship any longer.
Shen Nie didn't want Ming Mei to resent him.
Even if he could only ever be a mere friend in this lifetime, he still hoped to have a place behind her back, where he could watch over her.
Tears welled up in Ming Mei's eyes. She had never felt as helpless as she did now, gripped by fear and uncertainty.
She had never imagined what she would do if something happened to Kang Chen one day.
Seeing that tears were about to overflow from the corners of Ming Mei's eyes, Shen Nie's heart ached. He hurriedly said, "Don't cry, don't be afraid. I'll send someone right away, we'll have news soon. I'll go now."
