He was going to die if he drank the wine.
What was Jiang Ning up to? Why had he called the guards to join him and Third Miss? He didn't have to feign friendship with his servants.
Luo Heng eyed his cup before speaking hesitantly. "Your humble servant doesn't wish to intrude upon Third Miss."
"He told you to sit down, didn't he? Well, sit down!” Liu Qing slammed her fist on the table without any warning and yelled, "Quit yammering!”
She was in a foul mood. That guard should have known better. Why was he giving her so much trouble?
Luo Heng clenched his jaw. He had no choice but to take a seat.
"Summon all the guards.” Jiang Ning turned towards the guard at the door and said, "Let's all have a drink together."
Luo Heng's heart sank when he heard that. Was Jiang Ning mad?
Why was he summoning all the guards?
He could feel his heart hammering in his chest. What was he going to do?
The wine was poisoned!
He couldn't possibly drink it. What if all the guards drank but not Jiang Ning? What was he going to do then?
Where could he escape to then?
"Third Miss, I'm still on duty. I have to protect you. I can't get drunk...” Luo Heng said hastily.
"I'm giving you a holiday." Jiang Ning looked at him. "It starts now. I call the shots. Besides, this is Qingshan Sect. Who's going to cause trouble here? They'll be punished seriously.”
He picked up the bottle of wine and filled Luo Heng's cup.
"You've been guarding Third Miss diligently all this while. It must be hard work. I want to take this chance to thank all of you."
Jiang Ning grinned. "We're counting on you to continue your hard work.”
His cup was filled to the brim. Luo Heng swallowed as he stared at the wine and the shimmering light passing through it.
He knew what kind of man Zhang Heng was. Zhang Heng was coldblooded and vicious, so Luo Heng was certain that the poison that Zhang Heng had given him would kill those that drank it.
He was going to die if he drank the wine.
Before Luo Heng could do or say anything, a dozen guards had arrived in the hall.
They looked excited.
