"Where is the girl?" Gong Bingye asked sternly as he walked to the bed.
Xue Ni avoided his gaze and pretended to be dumb, "Girl? Is the prince talking about Xingchen?"
"When the variety show ended, I saw her still waiting for someone at the TV station entrance. I guess she should be going home by now, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed by in her peripheral vision. Before she could react, Gong Bingye grabbed her neck fiercely. Then, she forced herself to meet his terrifying eyes. "I don't like beating around the bush. If you don't tell me the girl's whereabouts, I can't guarantee that you will see the sun tomorrow."
Gong Leng never thought that Gong Bingye would dare to break into his bedroom and kill someone. He was furious: "Gong Bingye, who gave you the courage to dare to break into my bedroom..."
"Second uncle!" Gong Bingye interrupted Gong Leng harshly, "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. If the family knew about Xue Ni's existence, I'm afraid you would be embarrassed, wouldn't you?"
"You!" Gong Leng was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.
Xue Ni came from a humble background. If their relationship were really known to his family, he would probably be looked down upon by them.
He couldn't let a woman ruin his dignity and face.
Xue Ni, who was under Gong Bingye's control, was strangled so hard that her face turned red. She instinctively slapped his arms with both hands, but it was of no use.
This little bit of pain is like a tickle to Gong Bingye!
Originally, Xue Ni had hoped that Gong Leng could save her, but just now... Gong Leng's performance made her very disappointed.
So she pointed at herself and signaled Gong Bingye to let go.
Gong Bingye was not afraid of Xue Ni's tricks. To him, nothing was more important than Xia Xingchen's safety, so he let go without thinking.
Xue Ni coughed several times in succession, and it took a long time for the pain to ease. However, before she could say anything, Gong Bingye threatened, "You'd better tell the truth. If I find out that you're lying to me, you...will be dead soon."
Xue Ni slowly raised her head and subconsciously glanced at Gong Leng. Gong Leng threatened her with a vigilant look. Then, she looked at Gong Bingye, "Xingchen...she..."
Just when Xue Ni was about to tell the truth, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside.
Xueni was very clever. When she heard the laughter, she immediately changed her words, "I really don't know where Xingchen is? After the variety show, I told Xingchen that I would take her home, but she refused..."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the artists who are filming the show with us."
Gong Leng showed a sinister smile on his face.
This woman is not too stupid.
Gong Bingye was very familiar with the laughter coming from outside the door, because they were all directors of Gong Xia. To put it bluntly, they were all lackeys bribed by Gong Leng.
They came in the middle of the night. It must have been Gong Leng who called them.
"Second Master, your housekeeper seems to have fallen down the stairs..." After the laughter, the voice of one of the directors came closer and closer, and when he finished speaking, he came to the bedroom.
It was unclear whether they truly didn't see Gong Bingye, or were deliberately ignoring him. The second director continued, "Second Master, I'm so sorry to bother you so late. I just wanted to drink your tea so badly that I came to bother you..."
One of them played the good guy and the other played the bad guy. After they finished singing, they saw Gong Bingye standing beside the bed.
One of them was surprised and said, "Hey! Why is the prince here too?"
Another person immediately recognized Xue Ni sitting on the bed, "Isn't this woman the actress Mingjie just signed? Why is she here?"
"Hey, she is..." Gong Leng made up a random reason why Xue Ni was here. This reason was only told to Gong Bingye. In fact, these two people had already known the relationship between Gong Leng and Xue Ni.
Gong Bingye, however, had no intention of listening to Gong Leng's words. It was just that with the situation today, it would be difficult to get the girl's whereabouts from them...
Fortunately, he had sent someone to look for him on his way here, and I believe there will be news soon.
Gong Bingye's cold eyes swept over Xue Ni and Gong Leng one by one. He clenched his fists and before leaving, he said harshly, "If anything happens to the girl, I will make you, you..."
As he spoke, he slowly pointed at the two of them, and finally at the two directors who had just arrived, "And you, life is worse than death!"
The two directors were so frightened that sweat broke out on their backs. After Gong Bingye left, one of the directors asked, "Second Master, did the Crown Prince discover anything?"
"What are you afraid of?" Gong Leng didn't take Gong Bingye's words seriously at all, and even said arrogantly, "That damn girl Xia Xingchen will be fine."
The two directors didn't know what Gong Leng was keeping secret, and since Gong Leng didn't say anything, they didn't ask. "Second Master, the show is over, can we go now?"
Gong Leng waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Soon, the bedroom returned to its usual quietness.
At this time, Gong Leng remembered Xue Ni who was sitting on the bed. He walked over, but Xue Ni had turned her back on him in anger and ignored him.
In the end, under Gong Leng's sweet talk, Xue Ni forgave him.
After coming out of Gong Leng Villa, Gong Bingye called Han Ruizhe, "Is there any news about the girl now?"
Han Ruizhe on the other end of the phone was suspicious. He didn't answer Gong Bingye's question first, but asked, "Prince, are you sure Miss Xia has been kidnapped?"
Gong Bingye frowned, "If you have to fart, do it now."
Li Biao wouldn't lie to him, right?
After all…if anything happened to the girl, they would not survive either. How could they be so stupid as to joke with their own lives?
Han Ruizhe could hear Gong Bingye's anger from the phone call. He didn't dare to keep her in suspense and said directly, "According to the information I found out, Miss Xia has already returned to the palace?"
"What did you say?" Gong Bingye was shocked and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure your information is correct?"
Han Ruizhe was speechless. "Prince, I am the most famous detective in the world. My information is the most reliable. How could I be wrong?"
Gong Bingye frowned deeply. Could it be that Li Biao was really lying to her?!
"The best, really!" Gong Bingye hung up the phone and immediately dialed Xia Xingchen. Three seconds later, the call was connected.
He was startled and asked, "Girl, where are you?"
Xia Xingchen on the other end of the phone seemed to have just woken up, and her voice was a little slurred. "I'm in the palace, what's wrong?"
Is it really in the palace?
Then why...
"It's okay, I've finished the meeting and will be home soon. Wait for me."
Gong Bingye rode non-stop to the palace. He drove very fast and arrived at the palace in a short time.
He got out of the car and ran through the door.
It was already three in the morning. He had been searching for Xia Xingchen for two or three hours, feeling tireless. When he pushed open the bedroom door, he saw Xia Xingchen sitting on the bed, safe and sound...
