The lives of his entire family were in Qi Haoran's hands. Even if Yu Cheng was anxious, he couldn't do anything. By the time he saw the Westerner brought in in a sorry state all tied up, he had already given up. Now that he was to be held responsible if the Duke of Peaceful State was found to be dead, could it be that he was afraid of being exposed for accepting bribes?
At this moment, Yu Cheng felt defeated.
Qi Haoran's attention was entirely on the Westerner.
Having grown up in the capital and then gone to the north, this was the first time Qi Haoran had seen a Westerner. Reason being, Westerners would not go to that godforsaken place called the north. Due to Great Zhou's maritime ban, no Westerners would appear even in the prosperous capital.
Therefore, he was highly astonished. Still, at this moment, he kept a straight expression. As his eyes were big to begin with, no one noticed that his eyes had widened slightly.
