Huang Haichuan immediately understood that this person was warning him about the trouble that was brewing in his own backyard.
"I wonder what the master thinks of the Zheng family?" Huang Haichuan asked tentatively.
"Master is determined to take over the Zheng family!" The masked man seemed hesitant, but considering Huang Haichuan was one of his own, he spoke up. "You know, Master is not far from completely controlling the Zheng family. But Master has also heard that your wife and Bai Nuo's relationship seems to be getting better and better. Zheng Lin cares about Zheng Pei's feelings. If you push the Zheng family and the Hu family to the same boat, Master will definitely not forgive you!"
Huang Haichuan was sweating profusely as he listened. He knew nothing about Zheng Pei and Bai Nuo's relationship and thought they were like oil and water. He never expected that, in the eyes of outsiders, their relationship was actually quite good.
When was it a good time? It seems they haven't had any contact with them before.
And I almost messed up my master's plans?
Thinking of that person's temperament, Huang Haichuan suddenly felt a chill of fear and said repeatedly, "Please put in a good word for me in front of my master, and I will definitely get Zheng Pei sorted out as soon as possible!"
"Your master went to great lengths to arrange for someone to rescue you, so you should thank him. You should go and tell your master about these assurances. It's getting late, and I should go back to report. Also, your master is waiting for you at the usual place!"
The master is willing to see me? Huang Haichuan was overjoyed. He had followed that person for so long, but had never seen their true face. He had asked to see them many times, but to no avail. He never expected that today, that person would take the initiative to ask to see him. In Huang Haichuan's eyes, this was it.
When he came to his senses, there was no one left in front of him, except for the bearded man lying not far away. Huang Haichuan looked at the corpse and cursed his bad luck, blaming the masked man for leaving without warning him.
Huang Haichuan quickly packed his things and fled the area. Following the road he remembered, he arrived at the front of a mansion. After explaining his purpose, he smoothly made his way to the door of the study inside the mansion.
In the study, a man sat behind his desk, his face obscured by the darkness. Two people stood before him, speaking to him, but he didn't listen. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, Father Emperor treats Hu Mingmei better than his own sons. Which of us sons didn't make great contributions when we were granted the title of prince? Hu Mingmei did nothing, yet he became a prince!"
Although there is a big difference between a Prince of the Second Rank and a Prince of the First Rank, and the Prince of the Second Rank is below the Prince of the First Rank, it is undoubtedly a slap in the face to an outsider who has done nothing to be granted the title of Prince of the Second Rank.
"Perhaps His Majesty just wants to adjust the prices in the capital, and maybe he's just forcing Prince Chu into this position..." After all, everyone can see that prices in the capital have been rising recently, and the people's resentment is growing. This is not a good thing in the long run, and as the ruler, he certainly doesn't want to see this and will have to intervene.
But before she could finish speaking, the man interrupted her, "You've been with me for many years now, do you think Father Emperor is that kind of person?"
The person who was supposed to speak didn't dare to open their mouth for a moment.
The man didn't expect him to say anything; he just wanted to vent his anger. The atmosphere in the study froze instantly, and no one spoke again.
"Master..." Suddenly, a servant's voice came from the doorway. The man asked with a stern face, "What is it?"
"Master Hu has arrived!" the servant replied respectfully at the door.
"That bastard, how did he find his way here? We told him not to come!" the man said angrily, while Huang Haichuan's voice rang out from outside the door, "Haichuan requests an audience with the master!"
"Now that everyone's here, if I don't see them, they might become disloyal, which wouldn't be good for my plans. Come in!"
When Huang Haichuan heard the voice inside telling him to come in, he was overjoyed and quickly pushed open the door. As soon as he entered, he saw three people in the study, and the face of the man behind the desk was not clearly visible.
Huang Haichuan knew that this was the master he followed. "Haichuan greets his master and thanks him for saving him."
The man's face remained hidden in the darkness, his true features not revealed. However, the man's reaction was not what Huang Haichuan had expected: "Rescue? What rescue?"
"Master, I almost lost my life at the hands of villains today. It was you who saved my life in time. I came here specifically to thank you. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, and even die for you!"
The man's reaction was indifferent. "You've got it wrong. I didn't rescue you, and I didn't know you were in trouble!" He had many men like Huang Haichuan under his command. If Huang Haichuan weren't a member of the Hu family, he wouldn't have given him a second glance, let alone offered to help him!
Huang Haichuan: "......"
Just as Huang Haichuan was about to explain, he heard a "whoosh" in the air. Immediately afterward, he saw a cold sword graze his face and stab straight at the man behind the desk. Huang Haichuan gasped in fright and shouted, "Assassin! Protect Master!"
The spot where he was standing happened to be in the way, and one of them shoved him aside. Huang Haichuan didn't have time to look closely, but he noticed a scar on the man's face. He caught the cold sword that came flying through the air, preventing it from getting close to the man behind the desk.
The swordsman didn't care. He chuckled, flicked his wrist, and the cold sword grazed the man's chest before he withdrew his hand. He then flew nimbly towards the door like a butterfly.
