Suddenly, urgent footsteps echoed from outside, followed by a knock on the door.
Someone outside urgently said, "Family Head, there's an urgent message."
"Come in," the old Zhan man said, and soon a man in strong attire entered.
The man in strong attire knelt down and saluted, "Family Head, all the spies we left behind have been killed. We just received an anonymous letter and a signal flare outside."
"Where's the letter?"
"…" The man handed over the letter and then stepped back.
The old Zhan man glanced at the letter. It was simple: The more than ten people who fell ill are very safe, no need to worry. Be careful of ambushes on the road, send signals if there's danger, and we will rush to you immediately when we see them.
No signature.
The old Zhan man was astonished when he saw the letter, "Who wrote this? No signature? They're telling us that those nineteen people aren't dead."
He handed the letter to Zhan Beilie to see.
