Lu Shu went to Tongguan by train. As Anthony was on the move, Lu Shu himself would be happy to plead ignorance of the Mianchi incident.
He had thought over the matter for a long time. Actually, it would not be such a big deal even if his doings at Gongyi were exposed. Killings were permitted by Shi Xuejin, and in the worst case scenario, his spoils might be confiscated by Nie Ting.
After all, he had no money but one life!
Aware that Nie Ting was paying special attention to him, Lu Shu was certain that Nie Ting had noticed his action. If Nie Ting was resolved to track him down, he could not deny that he had left his team at Gongyi without the other members approval.
But it did not matter. In principle, he did not commit any mistakes.
As a last resort, he could confess to his possession of the head-twisting gourd. Anyway, Li Dian was imprisoned in the special cell of the Heavenly Network, and he could provide evidence.
