On the first day after Li Nuo crossed over, he learned that the father of this new body was the current Minister of Justice, the head of Great Xia's highest court and the nemesis of criminals.
Back then, he'd naively thought that all the assassinations targeting him were vile acts of revenge by criminal gangs...
Turns out, they were all righteous men.
He was the criminal.
He hadn't done anything, but what could he do when he had a father like that?
Li Nuo looked at Steward Wu and asked, "Is everything he said true?"
Steward Wu's face was bitter. For the first time, he didn't answer Li Nuo's question.

Li Nuo found it hard to describe how he felt.

Pei Zhe and the other two had never expected things to
