Gu Shiliu said, "Understood, it'll be within the next two days regardless."
Gu Jinghui's face was as cold as frost; he merely nodded slightly.
Gu Shiliu added, "When the time comes, shall we say Doctor Liu was trampled to death by a startled horse?"
Gu Jinghui replied, "Be careful, lest someone notices your movements. You may ask Doctor Li. As for Doctor Liu... Let's see what else he can spill out. His life must answer to me; were it not for him playing both sides between King Jin and the Crown Prince, I'd have handed him over to the Emperor already."
Gu Shiliu withdrew.
Gu Jinghui took another box out from the secret compartment of the desk, stared intently at the fine needles inside, his expression frosty, and murmured in a low voice, "Those who harm the Gu Family—how could they possibly meet a good end, right?"
