Chapter 461 Rushing Back to the Capital

Chapter 461: Chapter 461 Rushing Back to the Capital

At this point, Bai Wuheng really didn’t know what to say anymore.

What Lin Fuying said today was beyond his expectations and was a huge blow to him.

After a fierce mental struggle, Bai Wuheng could only continue, "First tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

"Actually, it’s nothing much, Brother Bai. I just want to know about Brother Yunting’s recent situation."

Lin Fuying’s fierce expression eased, and she looked pitiful again.

"Could you have someone keep an eye on Brother Yunting for me? I suspect he might have done something bad."

"What did you say?"

Lin Fuying’s words only added to Bai Wuheng’s confusion.

He truly couldn’t understand why Lin Fuying would ask him to do such a thing.

Could it be that Ye Yunting was involved with another woman?

But then he thought about it and dismissed the possibility.

He had known Ye Yunting for so many years, and Ye Yunting had always been indifferent to other women.

The only exception over the years had been Chu Nanli.

But he had also heard about the fire at Chu Nanli’s residence. Driven by some motive, he even went to the scene of the fire.

With such a big fire, there was no chance that Chu Nanli could have survived.

But Lin Fuying’s next words took Bai Wuheng by surprise once more.

"I suspect that woman, Chu Nanli, didn’t die at all but was taken away by Brother Yunting!"

The reason Lin Fuying had such a suspicion was entirely due to Ye Yunting’s unusual behavior during this period.

If that vile woman, Chu Nanli, had truly died, why would Ye Yunting be so calm?

"That’s impossible. How could Yunting do such a thing?"

Bai Wuheng instinctively wanted to deny it, but thinking about Ye Yunting’s behavior recently, he felt that this suspicion might not be entirely impossible.

He could see that Ye Yunting’s attitude toward Chu Nanli had gradually begun to change.

A man who cares so much about a woman definitely harbors ulterior motives.

"How could he do this?"

He really wanted to ask Ye Yunting if he had gone mad!

Had he done all this just to take Chu Nanli away?

"I’m only speculating here, but I’m worried that Brother Yunting is doing this because he is obsessed, and eventually, he might do something regrettable."

In fact, what Lin Fuying was more worried about was that if Chu Nanli had indeed been taken away by Ye Yunting, then he would definitely try to force Chu Nanli to come back.

Whether Chu Nanli returned to the War King Residence willingly or was coerced, it posed a huge threat to her!

She would absolutely not allow this to happen!

And the reason she asked Bai Wuheng for help was because he had known Ye Yunting for many years.

Even though they had fallen out now, the people under Ye Yunting would still not be too wary of Bai Wuheng.

"I’m worried about Brother Yunting, but lately he has been unwilling to see me. You are the only one who can help me, Brother Bai."

Lin Fuying’s demeanor had returned to its usual closeness.

It was as if the threats she had just made didn’t exist at all.

She indeed could feign attitudes, but Bai Wuheng couldn’t act as if nothing had happened.

However, thinking about the consequences Lin Fuying had anticipated, and the many years of friendship between them, he finally agreed to help.

This might be the last time he would help.

"Alright then, I can arrange for someone to check on it for you, but that’s all I can do."

Bai Wuheng looked at Lin Fuying intently, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but Lin Fuying didn’t care about his feelings at all, completely unaware of his distress.

Seeing that Bai Wuheng finally agreed, Lin Fuying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid she wouldn’t be able to persuade Bai Wuheng.

Just now, she had indeed been impulsive and should not have been so blunt.

But all this was Chu Nanli’s fault!

If it weren’t for that despicable woman, why would she need to go to such lengths?

"I don’t know why that despicable woman has such a strong will to live, she’s still not dead after all that!"

"Wait, who said she couldn’t die!"

Lin Fuying’s eyes lit up as a malicious plan suddenly emerged from the depths of her heart.

...

Ye Jiuxiao hurried all the way, shortening a journey that should have taken three days to just one day and night.

This time he hurried back, bringing only one person with him to the capital.

By the time they reached the gates of the capital, it was already the middle of the night.

Ye Jiuxiao had Ling present the token, and the imperial army guarding the city gate quickly let the two of them in.

However, when the imperial army saw Ye Jiuxiao’s appearance, they were taken aback.

After a day and night without sleep, coupled with the hardships of the journey, Ye Jiuxiao was extremely haggard.

But after he returned to the Regent Prince Residence, he only briefly rested before he began to collate the information that had been collected.

That night, everyone he had arranged to protect Chu Nanli had died tragically.

Therefore, the information he could gather from here was not much.

There were no breakthroughs in other areas either.

Ye Yunting this time had concentrated all his strength just to deceive Ye Jiuxiao.

Of course, he didn’t expect to deceive Ye Jiuxiao for long.

With Ye Jiuxiao’s capabilities, he would eventually track down his involvement.

But Ye Yunting was confident that he could make Chu Nanli change her mind.

By then, as long as Chu Nanli was willing to return to his side,

what could Ye Jiuxiao do to him?

When Ye Jiuxiao learned that his subordinates had found nothing, he did not give up but went directly to the War King Residence as soon as it was dawn.

Ye Yunting was obviously extremely surprised by Ye Jiuxiao’s arrival.

Not to mention, Ye Jiuxiao had brought many guards, almost surrounding his War King Residence.

Being so bold, wasn’t he afraid that the news would reach the palace and displease the Emperor?

Even though he was furious in his heart, Ye Yunting still had to greet him with a smiling face.

"Uncle Emperor, weren’t you away from the capital on a quest to find treasures for Great Grandmother? Why did you come back so quickly? Could it be that it wasn’t going well?"

Ye Jiuxiao had left the capital to attend to matters that Ye Yunting had not heard about.

But he had already learned about it beforehand from the Empress Dowager, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to prepare so much.

Now facing Ye Jiuxiao, he could only pretend to be ignorant.

"The reason I came to see you is something you know very well," said Ye Jiuxiao, his gaze oppressive, even making Ye Yunting feel somewhat uneasy.

Soon, he calmed down.

He had prepared for so long to take Chu Nanli away; Ye Jiuxiao had just returned to the capital and definitely couldn’t have discovered anything!

Ye Yunting deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "What are you talking about, Uncle Emperor? I really don’t understand a single word you’re saying, please speak plainly."
