Chapter 268: King of Hell Calls the Name 2.0 (1 / 2)
Suddenly, Wu Jijiu started crying.
Liang Youwu, clutching his bleeding wrist, took several steps back, eyeing Wu Jijiu warily. He found this man utterly baffling.
He had already brought the account book that could threaten his life and fortune—so why was he crying?
And why had he suddenly attacked him?
—Could it be that being an examiner for too long had driven him mad?
With a grim expression, Liang Youwu crouched down, extended his arm, and placed the account book beside Wu Jijiu. He said, “The original account book is here. I will no longer use it to threaten you. Let this matter end here. From now on, we shall only maintain a relationship of admiration and being admired, nothing more than normal interactions. What do you say?”
To outsiders, it would appear as though Wu Jijiu had taken a liking to him. If he completely cut ties, others would only accuse him of being ungrateful.
After speaking, Liang Youwu turned, took a few steps to the door, and pushed it open. As he stepped over the threshold, he casually wiped his hand on his clothes. The sunlight outside was just right.
Then, a group of Jinyiwei (Embroidered Uniform Guards) suddenly emerged from the shadows and pinned him to the ground.
