Chapter 334: Accomplices

Unfortunately, this sincere heart did not belong to her.

When He Ying failed to obtain Sang Ruoshui's confession, he thought of her two confidantes—Xiang Ying and Xing Ce.

Since these two were confidantes, it was impossible for them not to notice Sang Ruoshui's unusual behavior before the assassination.
