Zu An said with a sating the duke’s disappearance”
“Oh” Xu Yu nodded, but he was filled with emotions inside The other party didn’t seem all that interested in Sir Zuo’s case He was still in the mood to focus on the duke’s disappearance? Perhaps there had already been a conclusion in Sir Zuo’s case?
