Wu Xiufan held Alex's hand, feeling for his beating pulse to confirm that he was still alive. Only then could his heart steady itself, though the aftertaste of fear lingered in his chest.
A light knocking sounded from the door.
"What's the matter?" wu XIufan asked without turning his head.
"Her Majesty the Queen invites you to the palace."
"Tell her Majesty that I am unwell, and will have to wait a few days before paying her my respects," wu Xiufan coldly replied.
He knew why the Queen summoned him; it was regarding the imprisonment of Madam Chan and her son. Even if Yue Family didn't care, Chan Family would have reported it. Even though Chan Family wasn't a major family, they were a military force to be reckoned with.
A sharp light flashed through his eyes. The attempted murder on Alex this time, if it wasn't one of his enemies, then it most likely had something to do with the Chan Family.
