Jian Huaifeng could hardly believe his ears upon hearing Prefect Yu's words!
The person he regarded as a close friend had been secretly harboring resentment against him for a long time, and had tried to harm him several times!
Poor him, treating someone as a confidant, benefactor, and family! Truly he was blind, truly blind!
In that moment, Jian Huaifeng really felt the impulse to gouge out his own eyes! He prided himself on being wise, understanding worldly subtleties, and being able to discern people, yet he treated hidden predators as family!
He blamed no one!
Now that everything had been revealed, Jian Huaifeng's body, already weakened by mourning, began to fail. The only reason he had lasted this long was sheer willpower.
Now that he was disheartened, that resolve dissipated, and he coughed up blood, his entire body collapsing.
Since then, he fell into a stupor and couldn't get out of bed.
