Meanwhile, Chen Long and his fellow disciples had been locked up in separate cells. The looks on their faces were fraught with fear and anxiety.
"Don't worry, the principal will find a way to save us," yelled Chen Long. He wasn't sure if he was trying to comfort his fellow disciples or himself.
Why had he bothered to conceal his true strength if he'd known this was going to happen?
He would have defeated Luo Heng in open battle. Things wouldn't have gotten so complicated. At the very least, he wouldn't be suspected of murdering Luo Heng.
DA DA DA.
The sound of footsteps resounded in the corridor. Quite a few visitors had arrived.
Chen Long peered into the distance. It was Mr He.
Was that Jiang Ning standing next to him?
"We've arrested every Inner Court disciple who is a likely suspect," said Mr He. "Which one of them do you think is the most likely to have killed Luo Heng?"
He turned and eyed Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning had pretty good sources. He had arrived as soon as they had locked up the suspects and said that he was here to help with the investigation.
After all, he had been the one that they had been trying to kill.
"I find them all highly suspicious. You should investigate everyone thoroughly," replied Jiang Ning.
Chen Long nearly cursed out loud when he heard that.
How could they suspect them? He hadn't done a single thing to warrant any suspicion.
"That's rubbish! That's utter nonsense!" Chen Long yelled frantically as he clutched the bars of his cell tightly. How he wished he could charge out of his cell right now and explain that the thought of killing Luo Heng had never crossed his mind.
Jiang Ning and Mr He walked down the corridor. When Jiang Ning passed Chen Long's cell, he glanced at the disciple and laughed softly. "I'm not speaking nonsense. Luo Heng was a disciple of the Inner Court and spends most of his time there. You're the only ones who might have any conflicts with him. Name someone outside the Inner Court with conflicting interests."
"You..."
"You're the greatest suspect of them all. You share the greatest conflict of interest with him," said Jiang Ning earnestly.
