Chapter 274: Human Shield (Second update)

Xie Lin ordered Ning Yao to be guarded and simultaneously detained Ning Ze, arranging for his wounds to be treated and supervised closely. Then he collected Ning Yao's testimony and exited their private dungeon with Fen Ling.

After leaving the dungeon, Xie Lin inquired Fen Ling, "Do you really think Lipin is the mastermind behind all this?"

Having never met Lipin, Fen Ling shook her head, "I don't know. I've never met her."
