At this moment, Huo Sanren slowly opened his eyes. Upon seeing Zu An, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "You...you..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Haven't you ever seen someone this handsome before?" Zu An brandished the leather whip Guo Zhi had just given him and lashed out, silencing him from his rant.
Then he said to the jailers beside him, "You can go out too. I'll have a private talk with them."
"Yes!" The jailers, who had already received their orders, greeted each other and then withdrew.
After the jailers left, Huo Sanren spat out a mouthful of blood: "Pah! You son of a bitch, I never thought the tables would turn. Today I've fallen into your hands. Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"
The anger value from the Fire Wanderer has increased by 999!
He clearly felt that since he had chased Zu'an on the way to the capital, Zu'an would definitely take the opportunity to retaliate.
At this moment, Gu Yueyi hurriedly said, "Mr. Huo, you have misunderstood. He is not an enemy. He was sent by the Holy Maiden."
He had just recognized that the jade pendant on Zu'an's body belonged to Qiu Honglei, which was why he changed his mind at the last minute.
"Holy Maiden?" Huo Sanren was taken aback. He recalled that during the chase, the Holy Maiden and this guy did have some ambiguous relationship, and he was unsure of what to do.
Sun Luzhen, who was tied to the central wooden frame, glared at Gu Yueyi and was furious: "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? I've never even heard of any saintess."
Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "Elder Sun is indeed as fiery as ever; even in this situation, he is unwilling to divulge a single word."
Hearing him call her name, Sun Luzhen's breath caught in her throat, and she stared straight at him: "Who exactly are you?"
Huo Sanren said, "Zu'an, that kid who possesses the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture."
Sun Luzhen suddenly realized that he had also heard about his affairs.
Zuan leisurely pulled up a stool and sat down: "Indeed, it was Hong Lei who asked me to come. Considering our past friendship, I came to pass on a message for her."
When Gu Yue heard him call out so affectionately, a flash of jealousy crossed his eyes. You see, he had always admired his beautiful junior sister, but she had always been cold to him. Now, however, she had given this man her personal jade pendant.
However, considering that his fate would depend on this person, he quickly suppressed his displeasure.
"What message do you want to convey?" Sun Luzhen asked curiously.
Zu'an said, "Do you know why these people refuse to believe you, even though you insist that Prince Qi is the mastermind? It's because all you can say is that you're targeting Prince Qi, but you can't provide any more details. How could these people dare to submit such a flawed testimony? I'm here to teach you how to refine the details..."
"So that's how it is!" Sun Luzhen exclaimed with emotion. "No wonder they didn't believe anything we said and tortured us every day. Even I, who pride myself on my tough bones, almost couldn't withstand it."
Huo Sanren asked curiously, "What are the details? How should we explain it?"
Zu'an then explained to them how Cheng Xiong used his son Cheng Gang and Shuangyue from the Jiaofangsi (a type of entertainment institution) to transmit information.
The others nodded in agreement, but Gu Yueyi asked the question that concerned him most: "Young Master Zu, it's fine for us to say this, but after we say it, we'll be worthless. The people in the palace might just kill us on a whim. Do you have a plan to save us?"
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed intently on him.
