Lu Jin took a step back in fear.
"Is the call over?" He asked, his voice eerily cold.
"Not yet..."
Before Lu Jin could finish his words, Huo Beijiang turned and walked towards the office. Although he was not sprinting, he strode so fast that Lu Jin had to jog to catch up. After reaching the office and picking up the phone, he uttered a grunt before Ying Jiuming's regretful voice came through.
"Beijiang," Ying Jiuming's voice sounded extremely tired, "I'm sorry! I failed to protect your aunt."
"Where is she? What happened?"
"She's gone! She's gone!" Ying Jiuming's voice was filled with pain and his cries were harsh and uncharacteristic.
It was just a step late. If he could have arrived ten minutes earlier, Yuan Xueshan would not have died. After Beijiang returned to the Imperial City, he had asked him to help take care of Yuan Xueshan whenever he had time, but he didn't expect that such an incident would happen in Qi Li Town.
Moreover, it was a murder.
