Si Beitao's eyes narrowed slightly, and her long, slender, white fingers tightened their grip on the wine glass.

A fleeting glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He gave a cold laugh, set down his wine glass on the table with a soft thud, and slightly raised his thin lips.

"General, there's no need to mock me here. I've already had the two people at the entrance of the private room brought over. You should make your move sooner rather than later. If you fail this time, you may never have another chance."

Wen Yi stopped speaking, stood up, went to the door, opened it, and stepped over the threshold.

After scanning the restaurant for a moment and finding no one suspicious, Wen Yi looked away. Just then, a waiter carrying tea passed by, and Wen Yi snatched the tea from him.

"Oh, sir..."

The waiter was about to say something when he looked up and met Wen Yi's fierce eyes. His heart trembled, and he dared not say a word. He bowed and left.

"Knock knock knock".

"Oh dear, someone's knocking on the door! Sisi, open the door, Sisi, go open it~" Sisi's soft, sweet voice rang out from inside the house.

Wen Yi sneered. Perfect, the little princess herself delivered herself to her death, so he can't be blamed.

"Squeak."

The door was opened from the inside, and before Wen Yi could even see the scene inside, two gleaming swords were pressed against his neck.

Realizing something was wrong, he tried to run away, but a flash of cold light appeared, and Wen Yi groaned and knelt down on one knee in front of the door.

The dagger that pierced Wen Yi's thigh was none other than the one in Helian Ci's hand. Chang Ying glanced at Helian Ci in surprise. The Second Prince actually had such skill.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Helian Yi's gentle face and dark eyes before he quickly withdrew his gaze and elegantly sipped his tea. After all, he knew a little about Helian Ci's methods.

Little Helian You, who was eating pastries, had a fair, chubby face, and his curled eyelashes fluttered slightly.

His dark, bright eyes glanced intently at Helian Ci before he lowered his head, silently noting something down in his mind:

Second brother, you are truly cunning and treacherous, keeping your true intentions hidden.

The most bewildered person in the room was probably Helian Sisi. He was enjoying the show when suddenly his second brother by the Daming Lake covered his eyes.

"Hey, Second Brother, why are you covering Sisi's eyes?"

Mou Sisi pouted unhappily and tried to pull Helian Ci's arm with her chubby little hands.

"nothing."

Helian Ci withdrew his hand from the little girl's, and gently pinched her cheek with his long, porcelain-white fingers.

He just didn't want the little coward to see that he was the one who did it. After all, in the little coward's heart, he was the gentle second prince.

"Oh my god, big brother, you're so cruel!"

After seeing the scene clearly, Sisi's eyes widened slightly, and she covered her mouth with her chubby little hands.

Then look at the eagle beside her; its little face is full of terror.

Long Eagle: "..."

No, little princess, it was the Second Prince who threw it; it has nothing to do with me.

Changying looked at Helian Ci, wanting an explanation, but Helian Ci didn't even glance at him, and even nodded in agreement, speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Sisi is right, Chief Guard, you are too cruel."

Long Eagle: "!!!!"

No, Your Highness, Second Prince, what about your conscience?

Helian Ci: Smiling.jpg. I have no heart, no need to be polite.

Sisi believed it, and her delicate little eyebrows furrowed like caterpillars.

Looking at the eagle, she silently shifted her little bottom, her chubby little hands tightly hugging Helian Ci's strong and thin waist. Big brother is too scary, sob, it's still warmer in the arms of the second prince.

A smile appeared on Helian Ci's sickly pale face as he gently patted the little girl's back in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Sisi. We'll just stay away from him from now on."

Long Eagle: "..."
