Su Pei'er was stunned.
'I thought the case would be under review for some time. How could it have been closed so quickly?'
As if sensing her confusion, the guard on duty lowered his voice and explained, "Lord Han Tong died suddenly of a heart attack. With him dead, the case is naturally closed."
Su Pei'er was deeply shaken. 'Han Tong is dead!?'
She unconsciously tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand. "Th-Then... Mr. Han..."
The guard glanced around.
"He's gone mad."
With the father dead and the son mad, what was the point of investigating further?
In an instant, a flurry of thoughts raced through Su Pei'er's mind.
'How could Han Tong have died so suddenly? What did he say before he died? And Han Yao... they said he'd gone mad, but was he truly mad?'
'Just like that time he pretended to faint...'
Her thoughts spinning, Su Pei'er swayed and started to fall, but Dong'er quickly caught and supported her.
"Miss! Are you all right?"
