"Yes, we'll carry on as usual and do whatever we normally do. Pretend we know nothing about what happened today.
Above all, don't tell your brother. With his temper, if he found out someone wanted to harm him, he'd raise a storm.
If that ruined His Majesty's grand plan, even all our heads together wouldn't be enough to pay for it."
"Yes, I'll have people keep an eye on my brother at all times."
"Good. With you here, I can rest much easier!"
When Zhao Nianxi woke up, he discovered he was already home. Rubbing the painful back of his neck, he immediately remembered what had happened before he passed out and roared:
"Junfan, I'm not done with you!
You actually dared to murder your master!
Junfan, don't think I'm afraid of you just because my sister backs you!
Junfan, get the hell out here!"
Junfan was the guard who had knocked Zhao Nianxi unconscious, and Zhao Nianjun had given him that name.
Zhao Nianjun valued him highly and regarded him as her right-hand man!
Zhao Nianxi cursed as he climbed out of bed and put on his shoes, then headed toward the door.
When he opened it, he saw two men standing outside, one on either side.
Zhao Nianxi knew them. Both were his sister's subordinates!
He could not be bothered with them right now and stepped toward the doorway, only for the two men to block him.
Zhao Nianxi glared at the men barring his way and demanded:
"What? Are you planning to rebel like Junfan?"
Both hurriedly lowered their heads. "We wouldn't dare!"
"You look pretty damn daring to me!
I'm in a bad mood today. Don't provoke me. Move!"
With that, Zhao Nianxi tried to walk out again, only to be stopped once more.
