167th Break: Stand-in

"Yes. The young city lord was abducted by the Council's subordinates and will be sacrificed later." Lin Ze said as he heaved a sigh. "This is my fault. I shouldn't have left his side…" he said. His face is filled with self-blame. He then closed his eyes to ponder over his plan, so he didn't see that Qiu Qi's expression had undergone tremendous changes when she heard his words.

Qiu Qi turned to look at Qiu Ershi. What does Lin Ze mean by 'the young city lord'?! How can Cheng Pei be here?! She thought as she conveyed the words to Qiu Ershi through her gaze.

Cheng Pei is really not here… but someone is impersonating Cheng Pei! Qiu Ershi answered with his gaze. And it is the boss! He told her.

Qiu Qi's mouth fell open in shock and almost loudly gasped. WHAT?!?!?! How can this… her mind became chaotic. Wait, so it will be the boss later who will be sacrificed, then?! Her face turned pale in horror when she realized this.
