Chen Ji struggled to climb onto the rooftop, carefully hunching down to avoid detection. More than a few times, when Spies looked towards the rooftop, he could only lie flat and crawl forward slowly.
As seconds turned into minutes, Chen Ji’s strength was on the verge of running out.
Finally, the alley was in sight, and he quietly slid down the wall. But when he hit the ground, his legs gave out, and he collapsed into a puddle.
He had lost too much blood and was on the brink of passing out.
Chen Ji struggled to his feet and dragged the Jing Dynasty spy from a pile of rubbish, arranging the surroundings to appear as though a fierce fight had taken place.
Then, he manipulated the spy’s corpse, positioning their bodies as if he had strangled the opponent to death with a scabbard before lying on his back on the ground, pretending to have fainted from severe injuries sustained after killing the man.
However, his injuries weren’t severe enough to dispel Jin Zhu’s suspicions!
A resolute glint flashed in Chen Ji’s eyes as he took a dagger in the spy’s hand, then gripped the spy’s hand himself and ferociously stabbed towards the cut on his thigh, driving the dagger in until only the hilt showed.
In an instant, excruciating pain assaulted him.
Chen Ji’s body convulsed, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead like soybeans.
