"Ahhh!" The rough man never expected to run into Fu Jinyan here, and he was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.

"Don't kill me! I only took the money, I just want to live! Don't kill me!"

Fu Jinyan's beautiful eyes fell incredulously on the rough man's face, her gaze filled with suspicion, fear, and finally disbelief.

The poison that the Emperor-Slaying Alliance gave to Xueyan was developed exclusively by the Alliance. It required extremely high humidity in the air, and the dryness of Ye City should have made it impossible for Master Chen to have survived until now. But why...?

The fear that Fu Jinyan had managed to suppress began to spread through her chest again. Just then, Gu Momo's playful voice came:

“Fu Jinyan, if I remember correctly, you entered the Fu family as my second uncle’s illegitimate daughter. Moreover, according to the records, you lived with your mother in a poor mountain area when you were young. Your mother was kind-hearted and had a lot of friends in the area, but she suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason and then died mysteriously. That’s why you came to the Fu family alone to find my second uncle and became the young lady of the Fu family. Am I right?”

Fu Jinyan's lips curled into a playful smile: "So what? Everyone in the Fu family knows I'm an illegitimate child. You wouldn't be bringing up old news, would you? Or do you think this man is hiding something that could be detrimental to me?"

She didn't believe that Gu Momo could really keep the witness alive until now; this witness must have been someone Gu Momo hired to impersonate him!

She refused to believe that her plan to kill and cover up the crime could have any flaws. She was a seasoned assassin; how could she allow herself to make a mistake in something as simple as silencing witnesses?!

But what exactly happened with the poison Xueyan gave Master Chen?!
