The moment Chen Sheng saw Nie Xiangjun, he quickly smiled and offered an apology:
"My apologies for making you wait so long, Aunt, while I was in seclusion."
Nie Xiangjun waved her hand dismissively, but her expression was not as relaxed as usual. She looked at Chen Sheng with a serious gaze, then shifted her eyes toward the surrounding guards, her look clearly conveying a message.
Chen Sheng naturally understood her meaning and immediately waved for everyone to withdraw.
The guards bowed and filed out. The heavy hall doors slowly swung shut with a dull thud.
Once only the two of them remained in the hall, Nie Xiangjun's expression turned serious as she asked:
"Regarding the Ghost Cry Forest incident, did Chu Zhengnan know beforehand?"
Her tone was direct, without the slightest bit of beating around the bush.
The Nie Family had originally asked her to investigate indirectly or make subtle inquiries.
