A bad premonition suddenly swept over his body. He gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "Explain to me clearly, what do you mean by this?"
Mingjie snorted and laughed, "What it means is that Xia Xingchen is dead, and you will never see her again in this life!"
With a loud bang, Gong Bingye felt as if a ball of fireworks exploded in his brain, making his head buzzing and for a while he could not hear any sounds from the outside world.
He muttered to himself in disbelief, "No way, how is that possible? She's so skilled, even if you caught her, she'd find a way to escape. How could she let you slaughter her?"
Perhaps because he was too sad or couldn't accept it for the moment, his eyes suddenly turned red.
After a long, long time... Gong Bingye grabbed his collar tightly and asked with red eyes, "Did you kill that person?"
Mingjie squinted his eyes and pretended to be fearless. "I killed him, so what?"
"How dare you?" Gong Bingye practically roared, his hand gripping his collar, wanting to tear his clothes to shreds. He gritted his teeth so hard that they broke, his mouth soaked in blood, and the taste of blood filled his mouth as soon as he opened it. "You know that girl is the woman I love the most, and you still dare to touch her. You are truly fearless."
"In that case, I will grant your wish."
As he spoke, Gong Bingye raised his clenched fist and was about to hit Mingjie on the head.
Ming Jie was fearless and pretended to be calm, saying loudly, "Your Highness can kill me for Xia Xingchen, but... I am Young Master Gong's man. If you kill me, how will you explain to Young Master Gong?"
The moment Gong Bingye's fist landed on Mingjie's head, Mingjie suddenly stopped him in his tracks. Mingjie continued, "Young Master Gong has returned and will be looking for me soon. I'm a worthless person. How or when I die doesn't matter, but... before I die, having the Crown Prince take the blame for me makes my life worthwhile."
No wonder he was so confident, it turned out that he had already prepared a way out for himself.
As he spoke, he turned around and spoke provocatively, "I believe Gongxia is already facing internal and external troubles. The Crown Prince didn't quickly find a way to stop it, but instead wanted to kill me because of a woman. If this matter gets out, will it chill the hearts of Director Gongxia and the Gong family?"
"Are you threatening me?" Gong Bingye said coldly.
Mingjie laughed impudently, "I wouldn't dare. I'm just telling the truth. I believe the prince knows what's important and what's not."
I have your mother!
Gong Bingye grabbed his collar angrily, then threw him to the ground. The next second, he rode on him and grabbed his right arm with all his strength. There was a creaking sound, which was the sound of broken bones.
Mingjie suddenly let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
This sound is extremely painful just by listening to it.
"If I wanted to kill you, even the gods wouldn't be able to stop me, let alone a mere Gong Bingyu." Gong Bingye maintained the last bit of his rationality. "You killed my girl, so letting you die so easily is a bargain. I will make you live a life worse than death!"
He wanted to slowly take back the pain that Mingjie had inflicted on the girl.
He is unable to live or die.
He got up from Mingjie, took off his black gloves gracefully, and threw them on the ground. Then, with a wave of his hand, two bodyguards lifted up Mingjie, whose right arm was broken.
Mingjie was in so much pain that he didn't have time to struggle.
Xia Tian, who witnessed the whole process, was a little scared. She stood there motionless, not daring to move, her mind full of bloody images.
Before leaving, Gong Bingye walked up to her and asked coldly, "Are you still going with me?"
The frightened Xia Tian subconsciously shook his head vigorously.
Gong Bingye asked again, "Are you sure you don't want to come with me?"
Xia Tian still shook his head.
Gong Bingye: "This is your own decision, don't regret it!"
Gong Bingye waved his hand, and the bodyguards carried the injured Mingjie away.
Xia Tian stood there in a daze, still thinking about Gong Bingye's last words. When she regained some consciousness, she murmured, "I will regret it if I go with you."
Xia Tian glanced at the empty room and thought that Cui Jingshu was dead, Mingjie was arrested, and she was left alone again. At this moment, the empty room was like her heart, empty.

The news that Mingjie was captured by Gong Bingye soon reached the ears of Gong Leng and Gong Bingyu.
Gong Bingyu was drinking tea at Gong Leng's house at this time.
Gong Leng took a sip of tea and said insidiously, "I didn't expect Gong Bingye to be so impatient and start attacking Mingjie so quickly."
As soon as Gong Bingyu came back, Gong Leng gathered most of the directors of Gongxia and most of the members of the Gong family. Now, both Gongxia and the family members were divided into two forces.
One is centered around Gong Bingye, and the other is centered around Gong Bingyu.
In the past, family members with rebellious hearts were afraid of Gong Bingye’s power and did not dare to confront him. Now, Gong Bingyu is back, just like their emperor has returned, guiding them in the direction and giving them the capital to fight against Gong Bingye.
The reason why Gong Bingyu dared to come back with such a big fanfare was that during the two years he disappeared, he secretly regained other forces and small companies of the Gong family. Now, his power has grown stronger, and coupled with Gong Heng's prestige in the Gong family, Gong Bingyu has become even more unscrupulous.
At this time, Gong Bingyu looked more ferocious and more difficult to mess with than before.
He raised his lips and said, "I can't believe that after such a short time, my brother's personality has become so impulsive."
At this moment, Gong Leng thought of what Mingjie said to him yesterday, "I think the reason why Gong Bingye was so impulsive was because of Xia Xingchen."
Xia Xing Chen.
Hearing this name, Gong Bingyu's eyes were filled with unconcealed anger. He couldn't help but glance down at his lower body. Then, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What's wrong with her?"
Gong Leng: "He must have been killed by Mingjie."
Gong Bingyu suddenly burst into laughter. "What courage! This is the kind of courageous person I, Gong Bingyu, lack!"
As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Just for this reason, I have to go meet my brother and try to rescue Mingjie."

Even though Gong Bingye heard Mingjie say with his own ears that he had killed Xia Xingchen, Gong Bingye still did not believe it. He still sent people to secretly search for Xia Xingchen's whereabouts, claiming that he wanted to see him alive or dead.
He had no intention of handling Gongxia's work and handed it over to a director he trusted very much.
And he locked himself in the house.
Although Gong Nan and Ling Mei didn't know what had happened, since there was no trace of Cui Jingshu and the fake Xia Xingchen in the palace, they guessed that this matter was related to the real Xia Xingchen.
During this period, Ling Mei knocked on Gong Bingye's door several times, but Gong Bingye did not open it.
The two of them thought about going to find Gong Bingxue. After all, they had a good relationship and were of similar age, so Gong Bingxue should be able to find out something.
However, not long after they left, Gong Bingyu arrived.
