"Qi Li, go on in!"
Having reached his residence, Jiang Guinong opened the door and made a welcoming gesture.
Qi Li hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. When she saw the once-debonair man, she froze in shock.
His face… was terrifying!
Had she not known it was him beforehand, she wouldn't have dared to recognize him!
"Junior Sister Qi Li, I didn't scare you, did I?" Wei Junhao asked, his voice weak as he lay on the bed. "To stand up for you, I took my Martial-Uncle to find that man, Su. But the moment we met, he threw a poison bomb and left me in this state. If my Martial-Uncle hadn't immediately fed me a detoxification elixir, you wouldn't be seeing me alive right now."
As he spoke, he kept signaling Jiang Guinong with his eyes, hinting for him to leave them alone. He had also greatly embellished the night's events; he and his Martial-Uncle hadn't gone looking for Su Xuan for Qi Li's sake, but for his own revenge and to retrieve the map.
