Chapter 480: He is Taotie

Hearing his subordinate's report, the elderly man slowly turned his head, looking at his subordinate.

"Is that so? How far has it progressed?" the elderly man asked.

"According to the report from our spy at the front... Xu Cuilian had awoken from her vegetative state and much of her memory had been restored... She even disclosed the secret document to Lin Shuang," the subordinate reported solemnly.

"Oh? That document was finally revealed, huh? Heh... Seven years ago, so many were killed... yet Lin Jianguo was not forced to hand over the document. Unexpectedly... after seven years, that document would appear so easily? Heh... fate is ironic," the elderly man said slowly, shaking his head with sarcasm in his voice, "It seems that not killing Xu Cuilian back then and using her as bait was quite an effective move."

Seven years ago, Xu Cuilian would have died in that fire.

The assassin sent from the Imperial Capital was extremely ruthless, so why would they leave Xu Cuilian alive?
