Ning Fan's response made Tulip very uneasy. She had already picked up on something. Ning Fan suddenly seeking her out, combined with his subtle hints over the past few days, could only mean that he had already made contact with Teng Yun Geshang.
Back when she was still with Umbrella, Tulip had witnessed the overt and covert power struggles among the higher-ups. Unless absolutely necessary, she would never get involved. Even as a pawn, entering such a vortex of conflict would almost certainly lead to a quick death.
"Heh, there's no need to be nervous. I don't need to deal with you right now. After all, you're part of the Shadow Team now, not just an Intermediate Member of Umbrella!"
Ning Fan enunciated every word heavily, sending a clear message to Tulip, reminding her of her current allegiance and identity.
Tulip naturally understood what Ning Fan meant. She nodded slightly at this point, not daring to speak recklessly anymore.
