Gao Ning drained his teacup. After having the waiter refill it, he waved the staff away.
Seeing this, Ancient Wen Heng also instructed Ming Feng to stand guard outside.
"You must be curious why I asked you to meet me here."
"Mr. Gao has his reasons," Ancient Wen Heng replied.
Looking at Ancient Wen Heng's placid expression, Gao Ning inwardly sighed at how dull the man was. "Bai Jinglie and I are acquainted. When he had to leave the capital, he asked me to look out for you. It seems he was worrying for nothing."
"I'm sure Mr. Gao didn't come all this way just to tell me that," Ancient Wen Heng said.
"No wonder you became the Champion Scholar. You're remarkably level-headed." Gao Ning observed. "Most people would be overjoyed by now, yet you remain completely unfazed."
"I won't keep you in suspense. The Xiao Family's daughter has confessed. But she claims she only poisoned Lord Niu because you instructed her to do so."
