A tall, dark figure lurked indistinctly in the treetops.
Cold, indifferent eyes watched the two figures as they receded into the distance.
The original plan was for Kong Yu to lure Zhou Junlin to the Genosa River, where the assassination would take place.
Since the area was at the convergence of the Three Kingdoms, the blame could easily be shifted to Nanchen, Wu Qi, or even the Fengming Gang.
But now, with Song Lianhe by Zhou Junlin's side, things were no longer so simple.
If anything happened to Zhou Junlin, she would be inextricably implicated.
She had been away from Ling'an City for so long that it had yet to be determined whether she had been "abducted" or had "defected."
If Zhou Junlin met with an accident, Emperor Cheng Xiao would undoubtedly unleash his fury. While he couldn't openly move against Sui Bei, sacrificing a nobody like Song Lianhe would be child's play.
A grey-black falcon circled freely overhead.
