"Patriarch, this..."
The government officials who followed felt a heavy burden.
They had come in the dead of night, not out of idleness.
The same was true for Governor Du Ling of Chongqing; everyone was at a loss.
He hadn't expected that, after all his investigations, they would point to his own gentle and conflict-averse son.
Now, Governor Du Ling had lost all his spirit, bedridden and unwilling to eat, drink, or speak to anyone, too weary to strive anymore.
As for his son, he had long vanished without a trace.
Wan Baoquan, unable to apprehend anyone, had come here to try his luck, only for everyone to collapse before he could clear things up.
"Senior Brother!"
His junior brother rushed in from outside and said anxiously, "Everyone in the Zhou Mansion has fallen unconscious, and none can be awakened."
