Chapter 227: The King's Return (24)

Liu Saner forced Jiang Ye to take off his clothes to prove his innocence.

He seemed very certain that Jiang Ye was injured.

Even if everyone knew it was a frame-up, if he showed his wounds today, there would undoubtedly be no way out for him.

Liu Saner wanted to put him to death.

Master Liu suspected his loyalty.

Once suspicious, it was time to eliminate the threat, no matter how useful that person might be; this world was never short on talent... that was Master Liu's way of doing things.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, already prepared for the worst.

Jiang Ye grabbed the hem of his shirt, but as he was about to lift it, a pale, delicate hand pressed down on his.

Jiang Ye felt a slight shock at the bottom of his heart. Before he could turn around, someone wrapped their arms around his waist, placed a chair behind him, and forced him to sit down.
