They had never imagined that the traitor was Liu Xin.
Their enemy, Nian Cenyi, had also died that night.
Seeing how grim Ji Bai looked, the other five asked:
"Boss, what happened?"
Ji Bai said nothing and handed the letter to the five of them.
They took the letter and read it. Once they had finished, disbelief appeared on all their faces.
One of them asked:

Liu Zheheng nodded again.
One of them clenched his fists tightly, turned to leave, and said:

"None of us expected Liu Xin to be the traitor. Everyone, calm down first."
Ji Bai turned to Liu Zheheng and asked:
"What does the Commandery Princess plan to do?"
