Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning)
Chapter 2041 A Thorough Investigation

Luo Heng didn't retaliate. He was trembling in terror.

They were right. The wine had been poisoned.

He stared at the spilled wine on the floor. The poison had been fatal.

He couldn't believe how vicious Zhang Heng was.

"Who are you?" The captain of the guards thundered. He could tell that Luo Heng wasn't a guard at all. He pulled his sword out and held it against Luo Heng's neck.

That had been a close shave.

Every one of them could have died just now.

He didn't care if they died. But Third Miss could have died. Jiang Ning could have died.

This bastard. How dare he poison the wine!

BAM!

Someone pulled Luo Heng's helmet off him, revealing his face. Liu Qing shot to her feet instantly.

"Luo Heng? That can't be true." She was gradually sobering up. She glanced at the poisoned wine. That woke up her instantly. "Were you the one who poisoned the wine?" Liu Qing's eyes turned red.

This was Qingshan Sect.

She was the sect leader's daughter. She couldn't believe that someone had had the audacity to poison her!

She couldn't believe that that person was the most powerful disciple in the Inner Court, Luo Heng. How dare he?

The air was taut with tension. A dozen guards surrounded Luo Heng and bound his wrists.

Luo Heng dared not fight back.

How could he?

Even if he were to kill these guards, he wouldn't be able to escape out of the sect's compounds. Killing them would simply earn him another sentence. It would mean a more painful death. He looked up and stared right at Jiang Ning. The man was looking at him with indifference. His heart skipped a beat.

"You knew it was me all along, didn't you?" Realization dawned upon Luo Heng then.

"That's right," Jiang Ning admitted. "So I thought I'd have some fun with you."

"You!" Luo Heng snarled. He could taste blood in his mouth.

Jiang Ning had seen through his disguise before he had made his move. In fact, he had stepped right into Jiang Ning's trap and exposed himself!

"If I'd wanted to...all of you would have been dead!" Luo Heng snarled softly. His body shook violently. He knew that he was finished.

This was the end of him.

"Do you really think we're idiots?

Maybe you're the idiot." Jiang Ning shook his head. "Why would you let them drink the wine if you knew that it's poisoned? You should thank your lucky stars that you made the right decision. Otherwise, that'd really be the end for you."

Luo Heng had stopped in the nick of time. He had saved himself. Otherwise...

Luo Heng's jaw dropped at that thought. He couldn't utter a single word.

Had Jiang Ning just saved his life?

"How dare you make an attempt on your fellow Inner Court disciple's life! Men!" The captain of the guards roared. "Seize him and hand him to Mr He!" Luo Heng went without a fight.

He knew that this was the end for him. His future was ruined. But at least, he was going to get out of this alive.

He was struck by a sudden

revelation of how terrifying Jiang

Ning was. There was nowhere Luo Heng could hide as long as Jiang Ning was around. He had

overestimated himself. He had never stood a chance against Jiang Ning.

And now, Jiang Ning had saved him. He was beginning to regret his actions.

Liu Qing had been reluctant to let Luo Heng go. She wanted to chop his head off right there and then.

That bastard had tried to poison her!

"We're letting him off too easily," she said as she clenched her jaw. "He was going to kill us!"

"I was the only one he wanted dead," said Jiang Ning. "Luckily, he's not rotten to the core. There's still some good in him."

He looked at Liu Qing. She resembled a tiny angry leopard right now.

"Alright, we're done drinking. Head back to your room and have some rest."

"But..."

"Don't worry about him. No one's going to harm you. You're all the rage now and everyone needs you alive," said Jiang Ning. "Someone tried to kill me though. I'm going to find out who that person is." A murderous glint flashed across his eyes.

The temperature around them plummeted suddenly.

Jiang Ning was convinced that Luo Heng hadn't come up with the idea to disguise himself as a guard and slip poison into his wine. It had been a clumsy ploy. He wouldn't have dared to attempt something like that if he didn't have someone's backing.

Luo Heng had also looked petrified, so someone must have instigated him to poison the wine.
