Deep in the alley behind, a figure vanished like a phantom upon hearing the words.
"Take Chen Yan's body away and send it back to his home."
Seeing Chen Yan's corpse, Dan Muqing finally decided to spare Chen Yan's family.
Betraying the patriarch warrants the execution of the entire household according to the law.
However, Chen Yan had worked in the Dan Family for most of his life, rising from a shop waiter to the shopkeeper, enduring hardships if not achieving merit.

...
A quarter of an hour later.
An elderly figure walked into the shop.
"Miss, it's been confirmed. After you left the shop today, Chen Yan went to Zhuang Xin's residence, shortly thereafter Zhuang Xin and Zhuang Zhi, the two brothers, left the city through the North Gate and have been untraceable since. The Zhuang Family discovered the brothers were missing and sent Zhuang Lihui to investigate."
Listening to the old man's report, Dan Muqing immediately exclaimed, "Gu Fei!"
