Chapter 556: Go to the Place She Went

Leng Jue quickly realized that this was a trap Huo Hannian had set for him.

When he remembered everything, he hated him to the bone and had always wanted to get rid of him.

This time, Old Master Leng was critically ill, so she used his desire to get the person in power to set up a trap for him!

Huo Hannian’s men quickly surrounded Leng Jue’s bodyguards.

Leng Jue saw that the situation was hopeless and quickly knelt in front of Old Master Leng’s bed.” Grandpa, I was blinded for a moment. I know I was wrong. Please give me a way out!””

Old Master Leng had a bad heart. When Leng Jue was only one year old, he had a heart attack and collapsed in the study.

Leng Jue, who had just learned how to walk, came to his room and saw him lying on the ground, crying loudly.

Leng Jue’s crying attracted the attention of the others in the family, so he was saved.

Ever since then, Master Leng doted on Leng Jue very much. No matter what mistakes he made, he would show mercy.

Even though he knew that Leng Jue had almost killed his own grandson, he did not punish Leng Jue and still let him stay in the Leng family.

But now, he actually wanted his life for power!

Old Master Leng’s aged eyes were filled with disappointment and pain. He closed his eyes and looked at Huo Hannian.” Nian ‘er, lock him up in the basement. When you and your father have gathered all the evidence of him plotting against you, send him on his way!””

Hearing that Old Master Leng did not intend to keep him, Leng Jue’s legs went weak, and his pupils constricted violently.

“Grandpa, you said that no matter what I do, you will forgive me. This is the only time. I really won’t do it again-”

Leng Jue’s face was ashen white. He really felt afraid.

Old Master Leng looked at Leng Jue with a complicated gaze. If he hadn’t been too ruthless, he wouldn’t have touched him.

“I don’t know where you heard this rumor from. I didn’t write the position of the family head in my will, but you can’t wait to take my life.”

Leng Jue looked at Old Master Leng, who did not show any mercy at all. His eyes were red as he said,”Do you think I want to become like this?” Wasn’t it because he grew up here and gained too much? He was afraid of losing it again, so he desperately wanted to keep it? If I were the bloodline of the Leng family, would I have to live in fear every day? Was there a need to treat Huo Hannian as a mortal enemy?”

Master Leng waved his hand.” You still don’t know how to repent. Take him away!””

..

In the dark room.

Leng Jue was chained to the cross.

Huo Hannian walked in and glanced at the battered Leng Jue.” There’s one thing. If you tell me the truth, I’ll plead with Grandpa to spare your life.””

Leng Jue pursed his lips and looked at Huo Hannian with bloodshot eyes.” I’ll never tell you what you want to know.””

Huo Hannian walked up to Leng Jue and grabbed his collar.” Do you think I won’t be able to find out if you don’t tell me?””

“Investigate? It’s been so many years, what have you found? The most you can do is to kill me. Can you find out who the person who wants your blood is?”

Huo Hannian’s expression darkened.” You’re Nangong Xiao’s lackey. It’s him, right?”

“Heh.” Leng Jue let out a cold laugh.” There’s a huge secret that I’ve hidden in my heart for many years. Do you want to know?”

Huo Hannian narrowed his dark eyes slightly.” The Mei Niang of Hutong Road 1 on East Street, is she qualified to exchange for this secret you know?””

Leng Jue’s expression changed drastically.

Mei Niang was the first woman that Leng Jue had truly fallen for in all these years. She was once his confidant, but later on, she took two shots for him and was injured in a vital part. She had been bedridden.

However, Leng Jue did not give up on her. He would visit her whenever he had time and hide her in his golden house.

“She’s a pitiful woman. Don’t touch her!”

Leng Jue suddenly realized that he had been too careless with Huo Hannian. Huo Hannian was much more scheming than he had imagined!

He had hidden Mei Niang so deeply, but he had actually found her.

“I won’t touch her, but you have to use the secrets you know in exchange.”

Leng Jue gritted his teeth, his eyes dark and gloomy. He asked Huo Hannian to come closer to him.” Come here, I’ll tell you.””

Huo Hannian took two steps forward and glanced at Leng Jue. Suddenly, his heart beat faster. He instinctively realized that something was wrong and quickly retreated.

Just as he retreated, Leng Jue’s entire body exploded with a loud bang.

Seeing this, Huo Hannian closed his eyes, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

….

Soon, Leng Jue’s autopsy results came out.

Father Leng looked at Huo Hannian, who was silent, and said coldly,”Someone planted a chip in his body with an eavesdropping function. When he was about to tell you his secret, the person who was eavesdropping on him felt threatened and took his life!”

Both Father Leng and Huo Hannian knew very well that Leng Jue was working for Nangong Xiao. The only person who could take his life from afar was Nangong Xiao.

“You have to be careful recently. Nangong Xiao might do something bad to you.”

Huo Hannian ignored Father Leng and left the office.

Looking at Huo Hannian’s tall and cold back, Father Leng frowned slightly.” You still hate me for telling Wen Ruan that you and the princess were married?”

Huo Hannian stopped in his tracks and said in a low and cold voice,” It’s all in the past.”

It had been four years, and there was nothing he could not do.

His leg injury had healed and he could walk normally. Although there was a scar and it would still hurt in the rain, it was still within the range of tolerance.

The earth did not stop spinning just because someone left them.

They were the same. It had been four years, and he was still alive and well, wasn’t he?

Although he didn’t want to admit that he was like a walking corpse sometimes.

….

Nangong Xiao quickly summoned Huo Hannian into the palace.

Knowing that Huo Hannian was still alive, Nangong Han was excited and happy.

She ran to the main palace to look for Huo Hannian, but before she could see him, she was reprimanded by Nangong Xiao.

“I have something important to discuss with the Fuma. If you have anything to say to him, you can tell him when he returns to the Princess Palace.”

Looking at the dignified Nangong Xiao, Nangong Han did not dare to say anything more and left in low spirits.

….

Nangong Xiao called Huo Hannian to his study.

He handed him a document.” A few days ago, two spies were found in the palace. One of them was executed, and the other escaped. According to his escape trajectory, it is very likely that he has reached the border. I will now send you to capture this spy alive.”

Huo Hannian looked at the information, and his dark eyes fell on the word ‘border’. His heart, which was already as still as water, began to ripple.

That woman, four years ago, ignored his desperate attempts to keep her, and forcefully left for the border!

He knew very well that Nangong Xiao had sent him to the border for other reasons. This trip would definitely be filled with danger, but when the words of rejection reached his mouth, it turned into the word ‘good’.
