On the other side of the old mansion, Bai Xu nearly jumped out of his skin in disbelief: "How is that possible? Bai Shangmo's influence is so formidable that even Bai Yao is wary of him. How could he be defeated so easily?"

Bai Qifeng, seated on the sofa with furrowed brows, replied, "I also find it hard to believe, but the news of the police manhunt is everywhere. That can't be fake, can it?"

Bai Xu asked, "How did He Ju manage it?"

Bai Qifeng explained, "He used public opinion and the police to his advantage. Tonight, he was supposed to be implicated, but with an eyewitness to Zheng You killing Xu Le, He Ju was able to clear himself of suspicion. As long as the police don't suspect him, whether he's at the old mansion doesn't matter. And if any of us were to accuse He Ju now, we'd become a thorn in his side."
