Chapter 279: One More
He Jin remained unmoved, and in urgency, Kan Gulin reached out to pull at He Jin’s sleeve.
"Brother Gulin, this is not the place to talk," He Jin pulled back his sleeve, his expression uneasy. Although the atmosphere outside Hanyuan Hall seemed amiable and intimate, it was filled with lurking dangers everywhere.
Naturally, He Jin was one of those excluded; even Kan Gulin, an official of no power and no rank, was also excluded. No one would pay attention to a powerless Prince Consort and a similarly powerless official and what they would do.
Kan Gulin, anxious in his heart, couldn’t care if others were around and drew closer to He Jin.
"I have gathered quite a bit of evidence; the Wen Family should have been executed long ago — we even have the Imperial Forest Guard and the Eldest Princess..."
He Jin immediately grabbed the man’s arm with such force that it almost made him cry out in pain.
"What are you doing?" Kan Gulin looked at He Jin displeased, "You know, this is in accordance with the heavenly mandate..."
"There’s no need to mention it again—" He Jin immediately interrupted him.
Kan Gulin became angry, ready to speak again.
"If you take action, you must be completely sure," the man’s voice was firm and resolute, filled with hatred and coldness.
Kan Gulin was instantly intimidated by that gaze, his anger disappearing in a flash, replaced by a somewhat weaker lowering of his eyes. Some people naturally possess a charisma that compels others to follow and submit, just like the man in front of him, Kan Gulin momentarily saw again the once spirited and confident He Jin.
