Jiang Ning wasn't particularly worried about Liu Qing's safety.

Right now, everyone wanted her alive. They needed her alive.

Liu Qing was the only way for anyone outside Qingshan Sect to secure a place in the sect.

He had agreed to team up with Liu Chuandao and help purge the corrupt elements in Qingshan Sect. There was no other way.

That was the only way Liu Chuandao would give him the antidote.

He had to save Lin Yuzhen. He would pay any price to save her.

He told the guards to escort Liu Qing back to her room. They were on full alert after the thwarted attempt at assassination. In fact, they requested Mr He to send more guards to Liu Qing's courtyard to protect her.

Jiang Ning headed for the Disciplinary

Hall.

Liu Chuandao flew into a huge rage when he heard that someone had tried to poison Jiang Ning. He instructed Mr He to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

Mr He knew that Luo Heng's target had been Jiang Ning. That must be the most foolish decision that he had made in his life.

Why had he tried to offend someone as unimaginably powerful as Jiang Ning?

This was a game amongst highly skilled players. Even someone as powerful as Liu Chuandao had decided to stay out of it at the moment and simply watch from the sidelines. In fact, Jiang Ning was the main player in this game.

His opponents had only just begun to show themselves. Mr He was looking forward to seeing how Jiang Ning dealt with them.

This was simply the start.

If Jiang Ning couldn't deal with the small fry, Liu Chuandao would undoubtedly change his plan immediately.

Luo Heng was arrested and locked up in a prison cell in the Disciplinary Hall.

"This warrants a thorough investigation. Luo Heng had the audacity to attempt an assassination on Third Miss. This is a serious offence. The matter isn't going to end just with him being marked as a Sinner." Mr He made a strong case for a thorough investigation instantly.

They had to look into this. Someone must have instructed Luo Heng to do this. In fact, he had some idea who that might be.

But he too wasn't the main player in this game. He simply needed to do what he was supposed to.

"Yes, Sir!" his men shouted in unison.

Mr He looked up and saw Jiang Ning enter the Disciplinary Hall. He narrowed his eyes, then waved his hand and sent everyone away.

"Why are you here?" He smiled. "Are you planning to steal my job too?"

Jiang Ning found himself a seat and sat down immediately.

"Running the Disciplinary Hall is tough work m not interested." He gave Mr He a look. "I'm here to give you a tip. You should get as much as you can out of Luo Heng while he's alive. You'll lose your only lead when he's dead."

Mr He's pupils contracted.

Did he just say that Luo Heng was going to die?

"He's being locked up in the prison. There are guards watching him all the time. How could anyone try to kill him? Besides, he stopped before he committed a serious crime. He doesn't deserve capital punishment for that. Luo Heng knows that. He's not an idiot either, so he won't kill himself," said Mr He. "You're being

paranoid."

He was confident not because he knew Luo Heng's character. He was confident because he had faith in the Disciplinary Hall and its prison security. Unless he allowed someone inside, no one was going to enter the prison and kill Luo Heng.

Besides, killing a prisoner while he was locked up in the Disciplinary Hall's prison was an outright act of provocation. It was akin to issuing a challenge to Qingshan Sect and to Kim!

"You seem confident." Jiang Ning turned around and eyed Mr He. "Make sure this doesn't come back and bite you."

"Haha! Don't underestimate me," said Mr He. "I decide what goes on in the Disciplinary Hall."

"That's great." Jiang Ning got to his feet. "Mr He's confidence sets my mind at ease. Please find out who's behind this. I won't be able to sleep in peace until you do." Having said that, he turned and left.

Mr He scoffed. He didn't believe a single word that Jiang Ning had said.

He was probably looking forward to the assassinations.

Excitement was what was keeping him up at night.

Mr He frowned as he recalled what Jiang Ning had told him. Jiang Ning wouldn't make a personal trip to the Disciplinary Hall just to spew nonsense at him. Was Luo Heng really going to get killed in prison?
