Although he was loyal and righteous, he did not want to die, nor did he want to betray Jiangdong, so he had no choice but to admit it.
"Oh? Cao Cao sent someone to contact you, and you killed him? Why didn't you tell this commander?" Zhou Yu questioned.
"Hmph, it's just killing a spy, why should I tell you?" Huang Gai said disdainfully.
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, stared at Huang Gai, and said, "Fine, I see you have something to hide!"
