But who did it? And more importantly, who is the traitor?
'Could it have been Zhang Xiaotian?' he thought. 'Although he is too weak to get there undetected, he used to be a resident of this mansion. He might know secret passages.'
It wasn't a far-fetched idea, though a bit far-fetched considering the current course of events. What's more, that kid was no fool.
From what little he knew of him, he could tell that he was an intelligent young man. If he killed Lucheng, wouldn't that be counterproductive? After all, it could bring the wrath of the family upon him, and that would not be good now that he was weak.
With that in mind, it seemed unlikely that this was the case. But the hatred that Count Lu saw in the little boy's eyes told him that his idea was not so far-fetched.
He shook his head. Better to wait for the intelligence report.
It didn't take long to arrive.
