Qu Jianlei contacted Gradi, still using Star No. 3 as a relay to ensure that no one could detect his real location.
The Guard Captain's wife was at home and was a bit surprised when she received his communication. "Didn't you say you had been quite busy lately?"
Qu Jianlei immediately understood that Hertman hadn't told her what he was about to do.
Such situations were actually rare in the Imperial realm because a family's rise was the whole family's rise, and their fall was the whole family's fall as well.
Perhaps, this matter of assassinating the Supreme was too serious, which is why the Guard Captain didn't want his wife to know?
Qu Jianlei didn't dwell on these details; he directly asked, "I heard someone was assassinated?"
"Huh, who knows if it's true or false?" Gradi replied dismissively.
"There are two possibilities: one is that an enemy truly made a move against him, but my husband believes it's more likely an act!"
