Jiang Ning's question sent Liu Heng into a sudden moment of confusion. Liu Heng's face darkened the next instant.

He couldn't be bothered with Liu Heng at all. Before Liu Heng could retort, Jiang Ning walked right up to Zhang Heng. Their eyes met.

He had no idea why Jiang Ning was speaking up on his behalf.

They had only met each other once and had barely spoken to each other.

Zhang Heng had been the one who had instructed Luo Heng to kill Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning must be aware of that, so there was no reason for him to speak up for Zhang Heng.

"Mr Zhang is a good man with a good heart. He wouldn't hurt anyone," said Jiang Ning. "Besides, we don't know each other and bear each other no grudge. He has no reason to harm me."

Zhang Heng nodded. "That's right. This is only the second time I've met Jiang Ning. I don't harbor any personal grudge against him at all. None so great that compels me to kill him. Mr He, you shouldn't make baseless accusations against me."

He was helping Jiang Ning figure out who had tried to kill him and bring the perpetrator to justice. But what was Jiang Ning doing now? He was actually standing on Zhang Heng's side.

"Chief Liu, the person who wants me dead must be someone else. I don't believe that Mr Zhang would do something like that."
