Su Xuan nodded his head; he wasn't a fool, but this time, Azure Dragon and his wife had become the most innocent victims.
"The Eight Major Families joined forces, continuously sending out clansmen to harass Rumeng and me. In the end, it really became a do-or-die situation," Azure Dragon said coolly. "And with every assassination attempt, National Security would send strong protectors for Rumeng and me. This situation went on for two years until the Mid-Autumn Festival two years later. That night, Rumeng received news that her father, Mu Tianhou, had suddenly fallen critically ill and wouldn't live past three days. The news spread like wildfire throughout Beijing; anyone who made inquiries would know."
Han Caiyin frowned and said, "That must have been a conspiracy designed by the Eight Major Families, right?"
"Wrong." A cold glint flashed in Azure Dragon's eyes: "It was a conspiracy designed by National Security."
Han Caiyin did not respond.
