Plot
Editor: Henyee Translations
Jia Heming was not surprised that he was rejected again.
Upon his return to the government office, Jia Heming informed Zheng Sangge that if the Fan family persisted in their refusal to cooperate, he would enlist Sangge's assistance along with a few others for official matters the following day.
He lamented that without their cooperation, resolving the matter seemed as improbable as a cold day in hell. The Fan family's obstinate attitude proved to be a formidable obstacle, hindering progress at every turn.
Deputy Prefect Guan remained indifferent, content to engage in fruitless discussions and endless dialogue without taking decisive action. Yet, Jia Heming remained undeterred, resolved to adhere to Lord Shao's directives.
However, he never anticipated the ambush awaiting him on his journey back from the government office.
As he gradually regained consciousness, the moon hung high in the sky, its pale glow casting an eerie light.
