Chen Ji took off his mask, not anticipating that Lord Jin Zhu would suddenly grasp his jaw and pin him against the wall, his smile unconvincing as he asked, "Dr. Chen, you're not really a Jing Dynasty spy, are you?

Could it not have been an undercover agent placed by the Liu Family itself?"
"It was a gamble," Chen Ji calmly counter-queried, "Lord Jin Zhu, if I were a Jing Dynasty spy, why would I expose this to you and invite your suspicion?"
Lord Jin Zhu fell silent.
