Chapter 99
"Steward Liu, where is the assassin?" A guard from the Prince's mansion rushed in, looking at the calm and uneventful room, and asked with some confusion.
"They've escaped! Oh dear, hurry up and chase them! They ran that way!" Liu Ming said anxiously, pointing in the direction the assassin had fled.
"He ran away? Steward Liu, what did he take with him?" the guard asked, frowning. After all, the room didn't look like it had been the result of a fight.
However, judging from Butler Liu's demeanor, it didn't seem like he was lying.
They didn't even notice that any outsiders had broken into the Prince's mansion.
"They kidnapped the young master of the Wei family!" Liu Ming said angrily, thinking to himself, "Now, how are we going to explain this to the Wei family?"
"Young Master Wei?" The guards were even more puzzled. Why was Young Master Wei in their palace, and why had he been kidnapped by thieves?
"Oh dear, you all hurry and go after him! You go to the Liu family and inform the Prince!" Liu Ming said, then paced anxiously, feeling remorseful. He shouldn't have kindly welcomed Young Master Wei into his mansion. Now look what's happened! How is he going to explain this to the Wei family?
Isn't this implicating the prince?
Liu Family
Xu Heming was counting the gold from Liu Zongcheng's side courtyard when a guard hurriedly walked up to him and whispered something in his ear.
Liu Zongcheng, who had been looking dejected, suddenly became smug.
It's done!
As long as Xu Heming's son is in his hands, Xu Heming probably wouldn't dare to report this matter to the Emperor.
Then I'll give him some gold, and that'll be the end of it.
Thinking of this, Liu Zongcheng stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and walked towards Xu Heming with a smug look on his face.
Xu Heming frowned upon hearing the guard's words.
The young master of the Wei family has gone missing in the manor?
Isn't that kid from the Wei family always at odds with my son?
Why would you go to my residence?
And by sheer coincidence, he was kidnapped?
Thinking of this, Xu Heming had a headache. He was always decisive and efficient in his work, and it was impossible for him not to have offended anyone.
It could even be said that Xu Heming has quite a few enemies in Lanno Kingdom.
However, this is the first time someone has dared to so openly kidnap people from the Prince An's residence.
But then another problem arose: that person had little to do with him.
What are these kidnappers after?
"Your Highness Prince An!" Liu Zongcheng walked up to Xu Heming with a smug look on his face, looking extremely proud.
"Is there something you need, Lord Liu?" Xu Heming frowned. For some reason, he felt that there was a hint of schadenfreude in Liu Zongcheng's eyes. But shouldn't he be worried that Liu Zongcheng had discovered so much gold hidden in his mansion?
His confident and fearless demeanor makes anyone who doesn't know better think that he has some kind of leverage over them.
Fortunately, Xu Heming has never been bound by anyone's rules.
“Your Highness, I know where your son is. If you cooperate with me now, I will guarantee your son’s safety!” Liu Zongcheng said smugly to Xu Heming.
son?
Xu Heming was taken aback. Wasn't his son at the Li family's house?
Could it be that the Li family and the Liu family have colluded?
wrong!
