In the end, the manager inevitably compromised.
To save himself, he had no choice.
He fetched a brush and inkstone and wrote in detail how he came to know the assassin, how he poisoned Zhou Hezhen, and how he used the assassin to kill Zhou Hezhen.
He wrote his own name at the end: Zhou Zhengkong.
He finally stamped the document with his handprint.
Lu Yan smilingly collected the 'evidence', saying, "Five thousand pieces of silver - hand them over."
Zhou Zhengkong had nothing to do but offer his life's savings to Lu Yan.
"And this female assassin is worth thirty thousand pieces. I believe you can claim the reward. After three days, give it to me along with the martial arts secret book."
"I warn you, don't play tricks, and don't think of hiring someone to deal with me. As soon as something happens to me, this letter will soon reach Zhou Hejian's hands."
Lu Yan asserted solemnly.
"Rest assured."
