I will investigate from Huo Jin

Jian Guozhi came to the cell where Huo Jin was locked. Nianzu and Commander Guo were standing beside a table where Huo Jin's cloth bag was being checked. Nothing suspicious was found in it. Only two daggers were found which Huo Jin had hidden in his robes. 

Upon seeing Jian Guozhi, Nianzu and Commander Guo bowed. "Did you find anything suspicious?" Jian Guozhi asked. 

"No, your highness. Just two daggers. He had decided to run away from the Capital," Commander Guo informed Jian Guozhi, who hummed. 

"Why did you say that you will tell us about Tan Gengxin only if I promise you Zhilao Mi's safety?" Jian Guozhi calmly questioned him. He kept his anger in control, though his inner mind had told him to kill Zhilao Mi. "Aren't you loyal to your master?" His second question came right after the first. 

Huo Jin curled his fingers because he felt stuck.
