At the end of the alley, Jie Jingjue had dragged Jie Jingchen over to lie in wait.
After Qin Mei left, Jie Jingjue hadn't gone home. Instead, he had hunkered down to stake out the area. This was the only way back to their house, and he was determined to wait here until Qin Mei returned from her tryst so he could catch her red-handed. It would be even better if her lover was the one to escort her home.
But instead of Qin Mei and her lover, the person he ended up waiting for was Jie Jingchen.
"Jing Si, just a little longer," Jie Jingjue said, seeing Jie Jingchen about to leave. He grabbed his brother's arm and refused to let go.
"Jie Jingjue, let go," Jie Jingchen ordered in a cold voice.
"Jing Si, I'm not lying! I really saw her with another man..."
"Jie Jingjue," Jie Jingchen warned, his voice like ice. "If you dare slander her again, I swear..."
"Jing Si! Jing Si! She's back! Look!" Jie Jingjue cut him off excitedly, pointing into the distance.
