Chapter 158 Qian Renxue's Wrongdoings (Part 3)

“Even ants try to survive, let alone living people. When your enemies know they can’t fight you, do you think they won’t lie in wait, waiting for you to weaken so they can take advantage of your misfortune and deliver a fatal blow?” Miguel asked.

"Who exactly is this hidden person you're talking about?" Qian Renxue asked.

"There are many hidden enemies, including the prince you despise the most, Avalanche."

Qian Renxue didn't believe a word Miguel said about this person. She had sent people to monitor the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, and he showed no abnormalities whatsoever. Perhaps because he relied on Emperor Xue Ye's favor, he had always been lawless and was a universally hated figure in Tian Dou City. If he were to be said to be the most deeply hidden being, Qian Renxue would be the first to disbelieve it.

Do you have any evidence to prove what you're saying?

Although Qian Renxue didn't believe Miguel's explanation, she still outwardly appeared to be humbly seeking advice. Miguel understood why Qian Renxue acted this way. After all, in the original novel, after Qian Renxue poisoned his two older brothers, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng had been pretending to be a playboy for years. There were only two possibilities for Xue Beng's ability to maintain this facade for so many years without being discovered: first, Xue Beng was a deep and calculating person with a talent for acting; second, it could only prove that Xue Beng's true nature was that of a playboy, since only by playing himself could he convincingly portray the image of a playboy.

Either way, it proves that Xue Beng is no ordinary character. Unfortunately, Qian Renxue completely looked down on Xue Beng, a spoiled brat, and naturally wouldn't devote much attention to him. Therefore, Qian Renxue was completely unaware of Xue Beng's disguise. After all, in the original novel, Xue Beng was never discovered by Qian Renxue, which meant that when Tang San exposed Qian Renxue as the imposter Crown Prince and expelled her from the capital, Qian Renxue's infiltration plan was completely ruined. Meanwhile, Xue Beng, abandoning his usual spoiled image, inherited the throne.

"Before we talk about those hidden enemies, I'd like to ask Miss Qian Renxue a question, is it possible?"

Although Qian Renxue didn't know what Miguel was up to, she stuck to her initial opinion. Therefore, Qian Renxue was fearless and had no worries about Miguel's questions. So, Qian Renxue agreed to let Miguel ask his questions first.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Miguel immediately asked, "Does Miss Qian Renxue know who the Four Evil Young Masters of Tiandou City are?"

Upon hearing Miguel's words, Qian Renxue frowned. She quickly realized that one of the four spoiled brats must be Xue Beng, the fourth prince. Unfortunately, she didn't usually pay much attention to these纨绔子弟 (spoiled young masters), so apart from Xue Beng, she knew nothing about the other three.

Miguel noticed that no one present knew the answer, so he explained, "In the few days I've been in Tiandou City, although I haven't explored the city myself, I've gained some understanding of it from Salas, including about these four notorious young masters. They are the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, Marshal Ge Long's grandson Ge Hu, the Finance Minister's eldest grandson Qian Keyi, and the Right Chancellor's son Liu Zhou. With these four young masters together, they control power, military power, finance, and politics. Do you still think Xue Beng is just a minor playboy?"

After hearing Miguel's words, no one present had any reason to refute them. Even if Miguel hadn't said it, they all knew that these four playboys would be led by Avalanche. With Avalanche's power, plus politics, the military, and finance, who among them would believe that they had no ulterior motives?

Among the crowd, Qian Renxue was very clear about the situation of Marshal Goron, the Minister of Finance, and the Right Prime Minister, as these three families had caused her no shortage of trouble. Therefore, Qian Renxue began to believe that everything Miguel said was true.
