Chapter 402: It Takes A Great Price

After seeing who the other person was, Chu Jiu changed her action midway and broke free from his grasp instead of throwing him over.

“Do I need to report to you about my whereabouts?” Her tone was indifferent.

Lu Tingchen frowned.

He had never met a woman as unpleasant as her.

“You think I actually want to bother with you? But you’re protecting Weiwei now, and you suddenly appeared here, so I naturally have the right to ask.” As Lu Tingchen spoke, he stared at her coldly. “What happened? Does it concern Weiwei?”

Chu Jiu smelled alcohol on him, and her expression became a little mocking. “So the Heir Presumptive still cares about Second Miss.”

Lu Tingchen’s eyes narrowed. “Cut the sarcasm. Is Weiwei alright?”

Chu Jiu looked away. “Thank you for your concern, my lord. Second Miss is fine.” With that, she left the government office without looking back.

However, Lu Tingchen was still uneasy.

Just now, Governor Liu said that dozens of people had died in the West of the city, and Chu Jiu was the one who made the report. She was always with Weiwei, so was this incident related to Weiwei? Was she injured?

Knitting his brows tightly, he was about to leave when Governor Liu hurriedly asked, “So you know that lady, my lord. Then is that warrant…”

“It’s real. You’d better go to the West of the city with your people and handle the matter, but keep quiet about it for now.” After giving his instructions, Lu Tingchen left without looking back.

Governor Liu and his son remained there, staring at each other in confusion.

Chu Jiu had just stepped into Dusklight Court when Lu Tingchen arrived.

He dashed straight toward Lu Liangwei’s quarters.

Lu Liangwei was in the small medicinal room experimenting with her medicinal materials.

She planned to open a medicinal shop so that the old beggar, Youyou, and Lin Qingyuan would have a place to stay.

At this moment, Lu Tingchen lifted the curtain and walked in.

“Big Bro, why are you back so early today?” Lu Liangwei was pleasantly surprised to see him.

Lu Tingchen walked over and saw that she was still in a good enough mood to experiment with medicinal materials. That meant that things were not as serious as he imagined.

“Did you go to the West of the city today?” he asked.

“Yes, I have two friends there, and I went to visit them,” replied Lu Liangwei, wondering how he knew that she had gone to the West of the city.

“I met Chu Jiu at the government office just now. She produced the Emperor’s warrant and asked Governor Liu to do some cleaning up.”

So that was what happened!

Lu Liangwei nodded. “I told her to go.”

Hearing this, Lu Tingchen instantly tensed up. He grabbed his sister’s shoulders and looked her up and down. “What’s the matter? What happened? Why did so many people die?”

Lu Liangwei felt a tingling warmth inside. She had not wanted to reveal this matter to prevent anyone else from worrying. However, since he already knew, she would not hide it from him any longer.

“Those who died are assassins from the House of Swallow Snow,” she said briefly.

The expression on Lu Tingchen’s handsome face changed at her words. “What? Assassins from the House of Swallow Snow?”

“Yes.” Lu Liangwei sighed inwardly. Sure enough, the House of Swallow Snow was formidable enough that even her brother paled a little when he heard its name.

Lu Tingchen frowned. “How did you get into trouble with the House of Swallow Snow?”

Lu Liangwei shrugged. “I don’t know either. Maybe I offended some big boss without knowing, so they’re willing to spend all their money just to take my head.”

Lu Tingchen’s face turned grim. He would not allow her to talk about herself like that. “Nonsense!”

Lu Liangwei said indifferently, “It’s the truth, it’s just that I don’t even know when my life became so valuable. It probably takes a great price to get the House of Swallow Snow to do something for you.”
