Finally, after passing through layers of guards, Wang Yao and the other two were brought to Jin Jizhen's palace.

The palace gates were tightly closed, exuding an air of mystery and majesty.

The head guard, Jin Bi, stepped forward and knocked on the door. A cold, deep voice came from inside: "Let them in."

Two other guards pushed open the door, and Su Yao and her group of five slowly entered the palace.

Jin Bi, accompanied by several guards, bowed and saluted inside before closing the gate.

Inside the palace, the wall lamps cast a dim, yellowish light, making the palace appear even more mysterious.

Smoke occasionally rose from the swimming pool next to it.

Wang Yao and the other two dared not look any longer and continued walking forward.

Until they saw Jin Jizhen sitting on the main seat, on the huge carved dragon throne.

The three exchanged a glance, then bowed in unison and said, "Lord Jin Jizhen."

Kim Ji-jin said indifferently, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Suddenly, tears welled up in Wang Yao's eyes, and she exclaimed, "Lord Jin Jizhen, has something happened to my man?"

Kim Ji-jin chuckled, his voice cold and terrifying.

His smile made Wang Yao realize that he had indeed been exposed.

Everyone knows that when Kim Ji-jin laughs like that, it means he has murderous intent.

Jin Jizhen said indifferently, "Wang Yao has contributed a total of 1,200 documents to your superior, Xiang Dong has contributed a total of 756 documents to your superior, and Zhang Qian has contributed a total of 298 documents to your superior."

After a pause, Jin Jizhen said coldly, "Tell me, how do you want to die? Skinned alive and dismembered, or subjected to slow slicing?"

With each word Jin Jizhen uttered, Wang Yao and the others felt their hearts sink deeper.

Unexpectedly, Kim Ji-jin knew so much.

Therefore, there must also be a high-ranking traitor on Lady Blood's side!

Suddenly, the woman named Zhang Qian knelt down with a thud and said in terror, "Lord Jin Jizhen, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life. I also know many secrets over there. I can atone for my sins!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao's eyes widened in fury. Suddenly, she pulled out the copper hairpin and stabbed it fiercely at Zhang Qian.

At the same time, the man named Xiang Dong, holding a dagger he had somehow acquired, stabbed at Zhang Qian.

Before Zhang Qian could react, she was stabbed by a copper hairpin and a dagger; the copper hairpin even pierced her neck.

She didn't die immediately and hurriedly crawled forward, crying out for help as she went: "Lord Jin Jizhen, save me!"

Wang Yao and Xiang Dong wanted to continue stabbing, but Jin Jizhen flashed and quickly appeared in front of Zhang Qian.

As if she had found a protective umbrella, Zhang Qian quickly hid behind Jin Jizhen.

Wang Yao and Xiang Dong exchanged a glance and smiled, as if they had seen a companion.

Then the two of them simultaneously raised what they were holding and stabbed it towards their hearts.

The movement was so fast that even Kim Ki-jin didn't have time to react.

At the same time, Jiang Wu, who had been silently standing in the shadows, made his move.

With two clangs, the copper hairpin and dagger fell to the ground.

Wang Yao and Xiang Dong stared in astonishment at the sudden appearance of Jiang Wu.

The next second, they both rushed off in opposite directions with all their might.

Their target was the stone pillar next to them!

But they underestimated Jiang Wu's speed.

They had only run a few steps when Jiang Wu grabbed one of them by the hand and held him firmly in his palm.

Wang Yao and Xiang Dong tried to escape, but the man who suddenly appeared was incredibly strong.

Moreover, its skin is extremely tough, and no matter how much you struggle, it's to no avail.

Kim Ji-jin chuckled and said, "Want to die? Not so easy!"

The woman named Zhang Qian clutched her bleeding wound and pleaded, "Lord Jin Jizhen, please save me! I'm still useful!"

Kim Ji-jin stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the woman, and said calmly, "Aren't you from their side? Why are you thinking of siding with me?"

Zhang Qian endured the pain and pleaded, "My lord, a wise man submits to circumstances. I don't want to die."

Knowing she was doomed, Wang Yao roared, "Zhang Qian, the Blood Maiden has been so good to you, the Ever-Changing Witch has been so good to you, and you dare to betray her! You will surely die a horrible death!"

Zhang Qian gritted her teeth and said, "I've risked my life for them for so long, all I want now is to live. You should think about yourself first. Lingchi! Skinning and dismembering!"

Xiang Dong burst into laughter and roared, "So what if I die? Jin Jizhen, if you have the guts, kill me now! A selfish and despicable person like you will surely die a horrible death!"

Wang Yao smiled and looked at Xiang Dong, saying, "To die with like-minded people by your side is a worthy death."

Xiang Dong looked at Wang Yao and laughed.

They were completely oblivious to the fact that Jiang Wu was choking them.

Suddenly, Jiang Wu asked curiously, "Aren't you two afraid of being executed by slow slicing?"

Xiang Dong looked at Jiang Wu with disdain, "If I were afraid, I wouldn't have come here!"

Wang Yao glared at Jiang Wu with hatred and cursed, "You Jin Jizhen's lackey! Sooner or later, Lady Blood Maiden will tear you to pieces! I'll be waiting for you in hell!"

Jiang Wu wasn't angry. He smiled and asked, "Why do you hate Jin Jizhen so much?"

Upon hearing Jiang Wu's words, Wang Yao and Xiang Dong were both taken aback.

Isn't this person one of Kim Ji-jin's subordinates?

Xiang Dong reacted quickly, angrily saying, "I discovered a secret today: Jin Jizhen intends to detonate poison gas bombs throughout the city! He wants to turn Glory City into a dead city! If you have any humanity left, don't help Jin Jizhen!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she angrily cursed, "Jin Jizhen, you beast, worse than a pig or a dog!!"

Jin Jizhen looked at Chen Qian and said indifferently, "Zhang Qian, if you were so afraid of death, why were you willing to come here as an inside man?"

Zhang Qian felt her body growing weaker and weaker. She pleaded, "Lord Jin Jizhen, please save me. I acted impulsively at the time, but after coming here, I found that life here is quite good. So, I've been rather perfunctory towards the other side. In the last few months, I've only sent out a dozen or so pieces of information that aren't very important."

Jin Jizhen sighed, looked at Wang Yao and Xiang Dong, and said indifferently, "I'll give you one last chance. Join me, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

Xiang Dong spat at Jin Jizhen, but Jin Jizhen easily dodged it by slightly turning his body.

Wang Yao said coldly, "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you."

Kim Ji-jin smiled, and suddenly, she took off her wig, revealing a head of beautiful, jet-black hair.

Her facial features and figure gradually changed, eventually transforming into a bewitching beauty.

She chuckled sweetly, "That's right, I knew I hadn't misjudged you two."

Wang Yao and Xiang Dong were both dumbfounded.

At the same time, Jiang Wu also released the two of them.

Once freed, the two were completely different from before. They immediately knelt down at the same time and respectfully called out, "My lord!"

Their tone was full of excitement.

Zhang Qian, standing behind Chen Yin, did not see the change.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his mouth agape, staring blankly at Chen Yin's graceful back.
