Zixiu had always been fearless; a calm and collected demeanor was his consistent approach to handling matters.
Yet today, as he listened in silence to the words spoken by Mr. Guo, his emotions surged like churning waves, resembling a tempestuous sea. He desperately wanted to know who this Mr. Guo actually was, and whether his visit to Jincan Temple to pay homage to the Buddha was directed at him. They were complete strangers—was this pure coincidence, or a deliberate test?
That incident at the wharf had been carried out by Zixiu himself, without the participation of anyone else. Even Jintong was completely unaware of it. In the dead of night, without a trace, leaving no marks whatsoever, it could be described as utterly flawless. Even if Cao Shixiong had been handling this case as he used to, there was no way he could have traced it back to Zixiu. This was the firm conviction Zixiu had held in his heart all along.
