"This is your last chance. Reveal your true identities, or today will be your death anniversary." Chen Zhennan's voice revealed an undeniable killing intent.
Under the threat of death, the two assassins finally broke down their defenses and revealed their origins.
“We… there are more than a dozen of us, all of whom are Song Xuan’s men. We originally came to monitor the assassination of Wang Gan, but after learning that the commander-in-chief was here, we planned to kill him and curry favor with Song Xuan.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhennan's lips curled into a cold smile. He already had the answer in his heart; he just needed these assassins to admit it themselves.
"Wang Gan, do I need to prove anything more now?"
Wang Gan nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Yes, Chen Zhennan, it's up to you what to do next. I'll listen to you. How to deal with Song Xuan is up to you."

Chen Zhennan smiled and said, "Alright, then Brother Wang, wait for my good news. Have someone question those two bastards again; they definitely have more secrets on them. I'm going to rest now."
After saying that, Chen Zhennan led Song Yunming slowly around and walked out of the Imperial Study.
"Brother-in-law, you're really something. If this continues, Wang Gan will be sidelined by you."
"Hehe, yes, I've already sidelined him."
