Xu Qingshan sighed and patted his shoulder. "The dead are gone. All we can do now is make the true culprit pay the price they deserve!"

It was immensely satisfying to know that old dog Xie Songnian was finally going to face justice.
But he couldn't shake the feeling that things...
...seemed to be going a little too smoothly.
'With that old fox Xie Songnian's cunning and caution, how could he have left behind so many incriminating loose ends?'
'He colluded with the Demon Sect and plotted for the Sect Leader's position. How could something so monumental be exposed so easily?'
'Could it be... that the death of his son, Xie Xingwen, made him lose his composure and act so recklessly?'
