Chen Yi's words were not without basis.
It was because, even now that the dust had settled, the reward that should have appeared had not, which put him on guard.
He waited for another moment.
Seeing that no one had yet appeared, Chen Yi spoke again, his voice hoarse.
"I just helped you take care of that man in black. You should be grateful. Why not come out for a chat?"
"I'd think the Xiao family wouldn't repay kindness with enmity, would they?"
As he spoke, he glanced back and forth.
The narrow alley remained empty and deathly silent.
He could only hear the sound of his own breathing.
'Not the Xiao family?'
Chen Yi thought, his heart sinking slightly.
'The Liu family?'
He continued to probe, "It seems we have a guest from the Shu State's Liu Family."
"What?"
"You don't really think the one who killed Liu Jing was from the Xiao Family, do you?"
"Don't fall for someone's plot to sow discord."
