Chapter 98: Just being tough
"Royal brother." Ye Lingchen smiled ingratiatingly.
"Greetings, the Regent." Su Xing bowed politely, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
Ye Linghan didn't even look at Ye Lingchen, his eyes were always on Su Xing. As Su Xing spoke, his eyes became more gloomy.
After a moment, he asked dangerously, "Did the king ever say you could leave?"
Although Su Xing no longer cared about life or death, his body instinctively trembled slightly because of Ye Linghan's aura.
He paused for a moment before slowly speaking: "No."
As soon as the words fell, the temperature in the study dropped sharply, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.
Seeing that Ye Linghan was about to explode, Ye Lingchen ignored the danger and shouted loudly: "Brother, don't be angry. We left for a reason!"
He quickly recounted the series of events that had just occurred. Fearing that Ye Linghan would lose patience, he spoke very quickly, and in the end his tongue almost fought with his lips...
After hearing this, Ye Linghan's expression did not improve, instead a mocking look appeared on his face.
He stared at Su Xing and sneered, "What's the point of a dying man doing this?"
He thought that Su Xing would, like before, want to redeem himself by making meritorious contributions and beg for mercy.
However, Su Xing replied calmly: "I have been involved in this case for so long, I just want to do my part before I die."
He knew what Ye Linghan was thinking, but he was not.
Like he said, he just wanted to do his part in the end.
If he could solve the case before he died, he would have done something meaningful in this world.
When his guess was denied, Ye Linghan felt like he was slapped in the face in public, and his face instantly darkened.
What an ungrateful guy. He originally thought that since this guy's brain still has some value, it would not hurt to give him another chance.
I really didn't expect that he was just being too sentimental! Oh!
"No need!" Ye Linghan suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Don't think you are so great, this case can be solved with or without you!"
While speaking, he was observing the changes in Su Xing's expression.
When he saw that Su Xing was still half-dead, his anger suddenly rushed from his chest to his head.
"Someone come! Bring..."
"Royal brother!" Ye Lingchen was almost going crazy. He had finally realized that these two people were determined to torture him to death.
There is no need to talk about Ye Linghan. He clearly didn't want to kill Su Xing, but he was being stubborn.
Su Xing was the same. It was such a good opportunity just now, why didn’t he seize it?
He was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could only bite the bullet and said, "Brother, calm down. With your skills, this case is indeed a piece of cake, but now something happened in the Princess's Mansion, and you are inevitably too busy to handle it."
"Why don't you take care of the affairs of the Princess's Mansion first, and leave the investigation to me and Su Xing?" Ye Lingchen volunteered and raised his hand: "As for Su Xing's problem, let's wait until the case is over, how about that?"
Ye Linghan patiently listened to what Ye Lingchen had to say, but he smiled sarcastically as if he was looking at a clown: "Ye Lingchen, have you forgotten who you are after staying in the Prince Regent's Mansion for so long? Do you think you are the master here?"
He narrowed his eyes suddenly and asked in a cold tone: "Who gave you the courage to make decisions for me?"
Ye Lingchen's heart trembled violently, and he was stunned for a long while before he said with a smile on his face: "My Royal Highness, you are too kind. How can I make a decision for you? I just want to share your worries!"
"Look, my brother." Ye Lingchen pretended to be calm and said, "Today, Tianyi is injured in bed, Tianer is tracking down the whereabouts of Marquis Muyuan, Yingyi and Yinger also have their own things to do. Although my brother has many people to use, who knows the case as clearly as Su Xing and I do?"
"In addition, as for the matter of the Princess's Mansion, although you haven't publicly announced your intention to marry Luo Ling'er, everyone already knows it. You must give priority to this matter."
Perhaps it was because Ye Lingchen's words were sincere and reasonable, Ye Linghan did not seem as disdainful and unhappy as before.
He stared at Ye Lingchen coldly, and suddenly said: "For an irrelevant person, you are going to great lengths to do this!"
"It's a pity..." Ye Ling glanced at Su Xing coldly: "The person involved doesn't appreciate it!"
Ye Linghan himself didn't realize that when he said this, there was a hint of resentment in his tone...
Ye Lingchen caught this instantly and quickly winked at Su Xing.
Su Xing had long wanted to speak up to stop Ye Lingchen, but he was afraid of angering Ye Linghan and harming Ye Lingchen instead.
Ye Linghan would not forgive him anyway, so he just waited for the final judgment.
But what made him embarrassed was that Ye Lingchen pleaded for him again and again.
In such a situation, he could no longer remain indifferent...
Su Xing bowed with both hands and said, "I know my abilities are limited, but as a citizen of the Night Country, I am willing to do my best for the Night Country."
He still did not ask Ye Linghan to forgive him. This was the best he could do at the moment.
Ye Linghan didn't expect Su Xing to be so stubborn. For the first time in his life, he had the urge to bite someone.
Stupid guy!
He ignored Su Xing and shouted at Ye Lingchen in great displeasure: "You are the one who saved this person. If things don't go well, I will hold you responsible!"
After saying that, he left without looking back, taking away the coldness and evil spirit in the room.
Ye Lingchen took an exaggerated breath and then sat down.
It’s not easy!
It's finally okay!
Su Xing looked at Ye Linghan's back calmly until he could no longer see him, then he looked away.
"Your Highness." Su Xing suddenly lifted up his clothes and knelt down towards Ye Lingchen: "I'm sorry, Your Highness."
Ye Lingchen was so frightened that he almost jumped up from his chair. He stared blankly for a moment and shouted, "Su Xing, what are you doing?"
He was so angry that he pulled Su Xing up and scolded him: "I helped you because I treated you as a friend, what are you talking about? If you keep being so distant with me, I will break off our friendship!"
Su Xing did not take Ye Lingchen's threats seriously. Instead, he felt even more guilty: "I know your Highness's intentions, but I don't want to implicate you. Your Highness, please don't take risks for me again. Otherwise, Su Xing will not be able to rest in peace even if he dies."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Lingchen glared at him angrily, "What are you talking about? You'll be fine. Don't say such unlucky words!"
Su Xing didn't know what to say, and he didn't want to argue with Ye Lingchen anymore. Anyway, he had made up his mind and was ready for Ye Linghan to take his life at any time.
Ye Lingchen thought Su Xing didn't believe him, so he continued, "Have you forgotten what I told you? You are different from others to me. I have no intention of killing you. Otherwise, it would be useless for anyone to beg you!"
Originally he was worried that Su Xing might be in danger, but from this morning till now, he realized clearly that Ye Linghan was simply unwilling to kill Su Xing.
Su Xing shook his head: "Your Highness is wrong. The Regent King just likes to torture me more. When he has tortured me enough, he will kill me without hesitation."
