A letter, delivered by carrier pigeon and courier, finally reached Guo Wei's hands tonight.
It was a letter from Mr. Du.
It contained only a single, simple line.
"The matter is settled. Eunuch Liu was a great help. Master Guo, be careful!"
Guo Wei understood this meant the Court would not hold him responsible for Batu Mu's death. No matter what suspicions Andre might have, the Court wouldn't trouble him. What he hadn't expected, however, was that Eunuch Liu had played a part in this.
It seemed the confrontation at the General's Mansion had left Eunuch Liu feeling indebted, prompting him to return the favor.
The "be careful" at the end was a warning to watch out for Andre's underhanded schemes.
As the saying goes, a direct attack is easy to block, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against.
Guo Wei didn't dare to let his guard down.
That very night, he warned Chu Lingguang and Hei Hu to be extra careful, telling them both to stay at the Martial Arts Hall.
