Nangong Jue's brows furrowed slightly as he stared at Byron: "Are you trying to make me grateful to you?"
“No, I…” Byron shook his head, about to say something, when his phone rang. “Can I take this call?”
“Okay.” Nangong Jue didn’t make things difficult for him, because he really couldn’t kill him right now. After all, Shuo Shuo was still in his hands. He had been tracking him, but the signal was cut off later. Obviously, the tracker on Shuo Shuo had been discovered.
Byron answered the phone, and the voice on the other end spoke in broken French.
Nangong Jue understands French, but he didn't hear clearly because the voice was soft.
Byron's expression quickly changed. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Nangong Jue and said, "Shuo Shuo was taken away by my princess sister's people."
"What?" Nangong Jue exclaimed, grabbing the other person's collar. "You..."
"I never expected she'd been following my men all along," Byron said, equally frustrated. "Just now, her men knocked one of my men unconscious and took the child away. You need to go find them right away..."
Where were you taken away?
"It's in the suburbs, right, the place where Han Binglan was buried by the mudslide. There's a small village not far away, and my people are there..."
Nangong Jue quickly picked up his phone and made the arrangements, then turned and walked out.
“Ah Jue…”
"Byron." Nangong Jue stood at the door and glanced back at him. "Let me give you a piece of advice: stop now. You can never earn all the money you want, nor can you spend it all." Then he left.
Byron gave a wry smile, then sat down in the chair. "Ah Jue, don't you know there's a saying in your country: 'When you're in the world of martial arts, you're not in control of your own destiny.'"
Before Nangong Jue could find Princess Diana, that person contacted him on his own initiative.
"My lord, it's been a long time." Princess Diana was still very polite on the phone.
“Princess Diana, I really didn’t expect that you were the one pulling the strings behind all this.” Nangong Jue smiled. “Speak, what is your purpose?”
“Sir, you’re so straightforward.” Diana didn’t speak much Mandarin, only a few simple sentences. If she wanted to say something more, she had to switch to English. “If I said I wanted Han Binglan dead, you definitely wouldn’t agree, would you?”
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Then I want the treasure map and key left behind by Master Ba."
"Do you think an adopted child is that valuable?" Nangong Jue sneered. "Or do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"That child isn't that valuable, but what if we add Miss Nangong to the mix?"
"What?" Nangong Jue's brows furrowed deeply.
“Miss Nangong, that’s Nangong Shuangshuang.” Princess Diana smiled. “Don’t tell me you and Nangong Jue have a bad relationship. I believe it, but Nangong Shuangshuang has always been very good to you, her second brother. This time, when she learned you were in trouble, she rushed over, dropping everything she was filming.”
“Princess Diana, you really are…” Nangong Jue took a deep breath. “Alright, I accept your threat, but let me speak with Shuangshuang first, otherwise, I won’t believe you.”
Princess Diana laughed: "I'm actually incredibly happy to be able to threaten the renowned Lord."
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Come on, I'll not only let you talk, I'll also let you video chat," Princess Diana said, switching directly to video mode.
