Chapter 348: No Doubt on My Head

Chapter 348

Fei Nanyu had been waiting for some time and hurried over when he heard the window open.

"Young Master Mo, you're here?"

Mo Jiuye jumped into the study room.

"Mr. Fei, how are the preparations coming along?"

Fei Nanyu closed the window behind him and invited Mo Jiuye to sit at the desk.

"Everything has been arranged. Tomorrow I will accompany Nan Qi to the birthday banquet and you can disguise yourself as a guard to enter the Ninth Prince's mansion with me."

Mo Jiuye had intended to do just that. He gratefully thanked Fei Nanyu for helping.

"Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Fei."

"Young Master Mo is too kind. I will call for a guard later whom you can knock unconscious."

Mo Jiuye naturally understood Fei Nanyu's implication.

"All right."

Fei Nanyu looked outside at the darkening sky then opened the door and called out, "Shadow, come here!"

At the same time, Mo Jiuye swiftly hid behind the door and held his breath.

In a flash, a man dressed in black appeared inside the study.

Before the man could react, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck and collapsed to the ground.

Fei Nanyu quickly closed the door.

He stared contemptuously at the figure sprawled on the floor.

He made no attempt to hide this from Mo Jiuye either.

"Two of my guards were sent by Nan Qi to spy on me. This was one of them."

Having spent a long time around Nan Qi, Mo Jiuye knew his palm strike would keep Shadow unconscious for at least two hours.

Therefore, he conversed openly with Fei Nanyu.

Now dressed identically in dark clothing, obscuring his forehead would make the resemblance even more uncanny.

Satisfied with his handiwork, Fei Nanyu carefully inspected Mo Jiuye. Confirming his likeness to the figure on the floor, he tossed all the cosmetic items into a copper basin and set them alight.

As he did so, he explained,

"I don't like leaving behind anything that can be used against me."

Seeing his actions, Mo Jiuye sincerely admired him.

A man of such meticulous cunning surely deserved to become an enlightened ruler one day.

Of course, that had little to do with himself - he was merely impressed.

Having disposed of the tools, Fei Nanyu gazed down at Shadow.

"He cannot be allowed to live."

Mo Jiuye understood that Fei Nanyu lacked the opportunity to deal with the body himself and would require his assistance.

"What do you intend to do?"

Fei Nanyu shook his head helplessly.

"He hasn't made things easy for me working in the shadows. I'll send him on his way today."

With that, he pulled a gleaming dagger from the drawer and plunged it into Shadow's chest.

Already unconscious, Shadow did not even grunt before his breath escaped him.

Fei Nanyu glanced at Mo Jiuye.

"I must trouble Young Master Mo to dispose of the corpse."

He pushed open the window at the rear of the study.

"The guards here have been dismissed for today. It's safe."

Naturally, Mo Jiuye would not refuse such a request - both out of gratitude for Fei Nanyu killing Shadow on his behalf and simply to repay the favor.

He nodded almost imperceptibly, picked up Shadow's body and leapt out through the open window.

Here, disposing of a corpse would be trivial for Mo Jiuye. His main concern was not creating future difficulties for Fei Nanyu.
