Lian Zhan was furious.
It cannot be destroyed.
Yan Ce first inquired about Li Yun and Pei Yucheng's injuries, then turned his dark eyes to look at Nan Shi, who was standing in the corner of the ward, trying to minimize his presence. "Yecheng, as Cui Zhen's home base, has always been heavily guarded. As his personal guard, how could you allow him to enter Cui Zhen's secret underground palace with only a few people? And you!!!"
Yan Ce cast his gaze towards Xu Ze: "As his secretary, you are the best at strategy. Knowing that the trip to Yecheng was extremely dangerous, why didn't you follow him and instead went to Jincheng alone?! Fortunately, Cui Zhen didn't intend to kill him this time, but only coated the bullet with anticoagulant. If it was a highly toxic poison, what would the City Lord do? Who among you can bear this crime?!"
"Yan Ling, this time it is indeed my and Nanshi's fault. It won't happen again next time." Xu Ze said softly.
Xiao Yi said, "Next time?! Let Cui Zhen crush Cheng Ye again?!"
Xu Ze: "That's not what I meant..."
"Cui, you still want to crush City Lord?!" Before Xu Ze could finish his words, Lian Zhan's eyes were already blazing with murderous fire. "Whether he can see tomorrow's sunrise is a question."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the ward turned their attention to Lian Zhan.
After a moment of dead silence, Yan Ce asked, "Lian Zhan, what do you want to do?! Calm down and don't go to extremes!!"
"Our City Master has been bullied to such an extent, and you actually told me to calm down and not go to extremes?!" Lian Zhan said, "Don't you know?! Xiao Yi just told me that Cui Zhen, on the one hand, was throwing smoke bombs in Ye City to lure City Master into the game, and on the other hand, he took advantage of City Master's absence in Jing City to stir up trouble. How dare he bully City Master's wife and son?! Doesn't he know that City Master's son is my son, Lian Zhan, and that City Master's wife is my wife, Lian Zhan?! He actually dared to bully my wife and son. He's a typical man who doesn't care about his life!!"
Lian Zhan felt that his words were cruel enough.
However, the ward suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone's look at him became very... indescribable.
Lian Zhan hadn't reacted yet. The man who had been lying silently on the bed suddenly asked coldly, "Who did you say is your wife?!"
“…” Lian Zhan.
Pei Yucheng's gaze was indifferent.
But it is particularly sharp and fierce.
Lian Zhan immediately felt a chill down his spine.
He almost couldn't help but shudder.
Facing Pei Yucheng's death stare, Lian Zhan's legs went weak. "Master, I was just making a metaphor. Why are you so fierce?! Who else would care about that wife who only knows how to stab you?!"
“…” Pei Yucheng.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very quiet.
It was Yan Ce who stepped forward and broke the atmosphere first: "I'm just wondering, how could Cui Zhen see through Mr. Cheng's elaborate plan and use his own trick against him?!"
Yan Ce has never been able to understand this.
The muddy waters of the imperial capital's chaebol circles have always been difficult to stir up.
In other words, even without Pei Yucheng's secret signal, Cui Zhen was able to stir up trouble?!
However, the truth is: Cui Zhen, not only can he fight a coordinated battle in the imperial capital, but he can also fight tit-for-tat in Wucheng. So, he actually has another trick up his sleeve in his old nest?!
Judging from the current situation: It is obvious that Cui Zhen’s focus is on Yecheng.
He must have calculated long ago that Pei Yucheng would go to Yecheng.
That's why a tight net was set up in the underground palace.
Pei Yucheng was completely defeated.
Xu Ze frowned and said, "There must be a spy."
Lian Zhan said, "I was kept in the dark about this plan, how could there be a spy?!"
"Then why does Cui Zhen know so much about Mr. Cheng's plan?!" Xiao Yi asked.
After everyone discussed for a long time and still couldn't come to a conclusion, they were all waiting for Pei Yucheng's instructions.
After all, this loss cannot be in vain.
Cui Zhen must eat it back as well.
However, the man, who had been unusually silent from beginning to end, said something cold and gloomy that had nothing to do with formality: "According to the rules, Cui Zhen will leave Jingcheng tomorrow after finishing the final arrangements for the sacrificial ceremony..."
