Soon, a knock came from outside. It was one of Shen Ningning's Hidden Guards.
"Princess, they've all been taken care of. We left two of them alive."
Shen Ningning immediately opened the door and gave a stern command, "Send them to the Ministry of Justice. Let Second Brother interrogate them thoroughly."
Then, the young woman looked back. "I'll take you back to Mr. Xiu Mu's place first."
Tuo Ye snapped out of his overwhelming suspicion. "No! I can't go back."
Shen Ningning was taken aback. "What do you mean? Don't tell me the person who sent these assassins after you was Mr. Xiu Mu."
Tuo Ye pressed his pale lips together tightly. Blood pulsed from his wound, and a thin layer of sweat had beaded on his forehead.
He was now completely convinced. 'Xiu Mu wants to use the chaos to take my life.'
But, Tuo Ye couldn't figure out Xiu Mu's motive.
