Of course, even then, it still wasn't entirely safe. That was why Ye Qing had said he had completed most of it.
You could never overestimate how low Tang San would stoop. That fucker was far more twisted than Ye Qing when it came to doing things. Heaven knew whether, once Huo Yuhao was out of the picture, he would leap over the wall like a cornered dog and force through some outrageous stunt.
