Ling Xiu froze for a moment but quickly caught on.
Her expression shifted slightly as she said, "It's not the Deputy City Lord who wanted to kill the former Deputy City Lord, but the City Lord himself!"
"As far as I know, the two of them founded Assassin City together and have been through countless hardships. They are extremely familiar with each other. Hence, the former Deputy City Lord also had a lot of leverage and weak spots of the City Lord, making it difficult for the City Lord to move against him easily."
"Therefore... the City Lord deliberately left Fan as a knife, guiding him to strike at the former Deputy City Lord at the right time, in order to eliminate a concern for himself?!"
Lin Wu set down his cup, casually picked up an orange to peel and eat, and calmly said, "That's right. It was never sincere from the beginning, so how can there be trust? He, of course, would place his own people around Fan."
