Chan almost cried when he looks at the person inside the carriage. For the first time in his life, he feels immense relief to see her looking as good as she can be. He stands on the spot for several seconds to deliver the information into his head before his face broke into a smile.

He gets in impatiently and urges the driver to take him home as fast as possible. It didn't take a long time for the carriage to reach their home, but it took him the entire journey to calm his heart.

He steps out from the carriage and looks at the person in front of him.

"Jen Jen... you're alive."

Jennie smiled weakly. She never expected that her grandfather's reaction will be this great. "Grandpa, do you think I will die that easily?"

"No, of course, you don't."

"You're worrying too much. I had almost done in by their trap, but it's not like I hadn't had my preparation for this," Jennie smiled.

"You have planned for this?"

"Not this incident, I'm not that good to the point of predicting their scheme. But, I have already prepared for my own death."

Chan's eyes almost popped out. This brat, do you even know what you are saying? You almost died and I had flung into a rage, if you were to die for real, what do you think my reaction would be? I would destroy the whole capital, and if it's needed, the whole country.

"Not real death, fake death," Jennie rolled her eyes as if she knows what her grandfather is thinking.

"Why are you faking your death? Don't you want to keep leading Kim family into rising?" Chan didn't understand. If they want the Kim family to flourish, don't they need someone strong to lead them?

Jennie smiled. "You will know about it soon enough, Grandpa. We need to finish the matter on hand first."

"You mean, the judgment for Lan family, I will take care of that. You should just prepare yourself and don't do anything dangerous anymore. Are you hurt anywhere?"

"There is a slight burn on my hand, but it's not serious," Jun Hua said quickly as she sees her grandfather is going to fly into a rage again. "I will get it treated after we come back, but make it a secret. No one should know that I got burnt."

"Alright."

Despite that was what Jennie said, Chan still run here and there to fetch people to get medicine and all. The burnt is not big and with medicine, it won't leave any mark. After the doctor ensured Chan that the wound won't leave any mark, he could finally feel calm and at ease.

"What exactly happened in that room of fire?"

Jennie looks towards her grandfather. "They prepared drinks with sleeping medicine. I'm sure that Krystal only targeted me, but she is the one who falls asleep for real. When I approached her, I notice the bottle on her. It doesn't make sense to use it when she is trying to make me fall asleep.

 That's when I noticed that the scheme overlapped, which means there are two people who are scheming for different things. I hurriedly prepared for everything before waking Krystal. At that time, the fire had spread and I could only bundle her into a wet blanket to save her."

"How did you get out?" this is the question he wants to ask the most.

Jennie smiled. "I'm the one who destroyed the pillar. That is the reason my hands got burned. As for getting out, it's easy with my martial skills, I slip from the back of the building before it collapses."

Chan remembers the special method she could employ to boost her speed. If she used that, traveling a far distance in a second wouldn't be impossible. But, the danger to stay in that kind of room is still really big.

"If you want to do something dangerous, you should have told me beforehand," Chan chided. He doesn't want to feel like today anymore.

Jennie laughed. "I won't be going to the battlefield anymore, so there won't be any time when you're feeling that much anxious anymore. I will stay on the baseline and watch the fight from afar."

"Coming from you, it still feels suspicious."

"Grandpa!"

After a long time, Jennie manages to ensure her Grandpa Chan that she's alright. Then she turned to Xia who is looking on the side anxiously.

"Don't look at me that way, Xia. I'm not going anywhere."

"But Miss, when they are saying that you have died, almost all of us cannot believe it," Xia sulked.

Jennie didn't tell anyone about this plan since it's dangerous and she might get hurt for real. Besides, some of her people won't be able to act as if it's not real, for example, her grandfather. Because of that, there is no way Xia could know what Jennie is planning.

By the shadow, Yeji truly wants to beg her Miss to never do that anymore. She too almost cannot believe it when they heard the news. Seeing that Jennie is safe and that the incident is partially her plan truly makes them relieved.

"Someday I will die, but not today," Jennie smiled.

"Miss..."

Jennie laughed. That is true because she is still a human. She turned around in her bed and covered herself with the blanket. Today is truly tiring, she wants to have some sleep first.

Seeing their Miss is tired, Xia didn't say anything anymore and stands by the side while Yeji guards the area carefully. They won't let anyone hurt her again.

...

Ten and Krystal are interrogated individually. Both of them cannot keep it secret and soon, the truth comes out. 

What makes them shocked is that Krystal actually wants to try to seduce a boy younger than her. And Ten helping her is something that can be considered a natural thing. That was their conclusion for they didn't know the thought Ten had with his cousin.

With the interrogation method the government employed, both of them feel that they are going through the worst day in their life. After the interrogation ended, the two of them finally could rest in a separate prisoner room.

"It shouldn't have ended this way," Krystal hugged her feet. She didn't dare to move around because she was tired and hungry. With this plan, she hoped that she could get close to Jayn, who would have thought that this plan would backfire?

Between a general and a young girl like her, which one would Teng try to protect more?

That was such a simple question with an obvious answer. For someone as smart as Krystal, she knows that there is no hope left for her. They would blame everything on her and let Ten go. What a good result that is!

"Trying to blame me? Truly like their way."

Krystal still remembers the incident back in her younger days very clearly. Because she's still very young, they let her go, but they didn't know that she know the matter as clear as day.

She hates her uncle very much for cooperating with the emperor in order to seize control of Lan family. He didn't feel that killing his own brother and nephew are wrong. Krystal always hides the fact that she knows about it and behaves like a good and somewhat ordinary smart girl. But, now everything had ended.

The girl's eyes are looking towards the faraway place, her fist is clenched so tightly that her hand starts to bleed. Who dares to ruin the scheme she had planned perfectly?

Krystal's eyes are staring with heated fire. Today is the most humiliating day for her to get her scheme ruined. She thought that he would...

"Forget it, since Jayn is death, it will be better if I leave,"  Krystal's lips curved up. If there is anyone seeing this scene, their eyes would surely pop out. The girl whom everyone thought was a weak girl, especially with her pitiful appearance before, is not truly weak.
