Fang Ze had subordinates capable of circumventing demigod protection to probe into one's mind, which was known to everyone.

As a result, after Sima Jin came to find Fang Ze, Fang Ze did not hesitate to take him down.
Over the past two days, Fang Ze had likely already rehearsed today's scenario in front of Sima Liu, which was why Sima Liu had remained utterly silent from beginning to end: he knew that the outcome of today's events had been predetermined as soon as Fang Ze had extracted the information during the interrogation.
