Not a word was spoken through the night.
The next morning, Gao Fei learned of news that enraged him immensely.
The tens of thousands of citizens who had knelt before him pleading for justice the day before had all mysteriously disappeared, yes, all of them! Not a single one remained!
"Dammit! It must have been He Hentian's doing!" Gao Fei grimly walked outside.
"My lord, where are you going?" Chen San and Liu Qing hurried after him.
"To find He Hentian and get to the bottom of this!" Gao Fei said with a chilly tone.
...
In the center of Heavenly Water City.
Within a luxurious attic.
He Hentian was lounging on a couch, holding a wine cup in one hand and a book in the other, leisurely taking sips of wine and glancing at the book.
"My lord!" A subordinate walked in from outside: "Gao Fei is here, clamoring to see you."
"Oh?" He Hentian slightly lifted his eyelids: "I'm busy right now, I have no time to see him."
