In a clear voice, he asked, "Tell me how she died."
He Yun reported, "The prison guards didn't notice anything wrong with her because she was lying in bed. They only realized that something was off when they delivered lunch and couldn't wake her up. One of them entered the prison to check, and that's when they discovered that she was no longer breathing."
"So those prison guards didn't keep an eye on her?"
His eyes could no longer hide his fury. Even Pei Ge, who was standing beside him, could feel the anger simmering just beneath the surface.
"Sir, it is our negligence."
On the other end, He Yun was actually standing before Ji Miao's cell, watching the doctor transfer her body into the readied stretcher. The gray bed was stained with blood, as though she had shed her blood on the body.
