The woman's eyes looked sharply at him. "Do not make me say the same thing twice!"
Her subordinate shuddered. "Yes."
The woman walked out of the room and stood in the hallway. She heard a painful cry come from inside, but it did not affect her emotions at all.
"I…I'll talk…"
The woman's emotionless eyes finally showed some reaction when she heard that weak voice coming from inside.
It was not long before her subordinate came out. "House Leader, Situ Xu has finally revealed the information. The mastermind behind the assassination is the Prudence Consort, Ji Linghui."
The woman nodded. "Understood."
"What do we do with Situ Xu?" Her subordinate waited for her instructions.
The woman replied without hesitating. "Kill him."
Her subordinate hesitated and saw the need to give her a reminder. "You do have a friendship with Alliance Chief Situ. If you killed his son, it might affect your friendship with him."
