Chapter 598

Xing Chen, who had been listening to the entire discussion, was frozen at the scene. ‘He Jingyan’s wife is the son of the previous king? His is His Highness the Prince?’

‘And this girl in front of me is our Princess? This… this is too unbelievable! The person we’ve been looking for is actually close at hand?’

Ke Moer didn’t avoid Xing Chen during the discussion because he knew that Xing Chen was now with He Jingyan and couldn’t possibly go around talking about it, so he just talked to Xu Nuanuan about it openly in front of Xing Chen.

The other guards were already scared once they heard that Xu Yangyi was the former king’s son. How would they have the heart to go around gossiping?

An Yan watched their conversation for a while, after which he silently took a gun and left.

Seeing this, Yan Chengyu hurriedly followed, “It’s not safe outside now! Don’t just walk around.”

An Yan coldly replied, “If you are afraid, you can hide inside and don’t have to come out. I am not forcing you to follow me.”

An Yan was back to his usual self, but with less anger. Probably, he was just talking to Yan Chengyu in his usual mood.

But Yan Chengyu thought An Yan was angry. ‘Why does he behave like that? The atmosphere was obviously good just now and he suddenly said that to me? Did I do something to annoy him again?’

Yan Chengyu began to reflect on himself, but he couldn’t think of anything he had said that was wrong.

“Fine! Then where are you going? I’ll accompany you.”

Stepping back and not dwelling on this with An Yan, Yan Chengyu said.

An Yan suddenly stopped and looked at Yan Chengyu for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then he resumed his steps and walked outside.

Just when Yan Chengyu thought that An Yan did not want to talk to him, An Yan suddenly said, “I’m just curious about how Yangyi made such a big explosion and a big wave of gunfire with just one person.”

When An Yan said this, Yan Chengyu also suddenly became curious, because he couldn’t figure out how Xu Yangyi had caused such a big commotion either.

When they both walked outside the villa, they found five rifles set up outside the window. The triggers were each tied with shoelaces and then tied to a fishing pole at a uniform length, while another long shoelace was tied to the middle of the pole.

Yan Chengyu bent down curiously and pulled one of the shoelaces to take a look, and the bullets suddenly came out in a burst, almost scaring him to death.

He let go of the shoelace and cursed.

Inside, Ke Moer and the others were miserable. They were almost shot in their heads, but fortunately, Xu Nuannuan reacted quickly and pounced on Ke Moer in time.

“Sorry, sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you guys!”

Yan Chengyu poked his head in from outside the window to apologise, still with a smiling face.

“You are a murder!” Ke Moer shouted as if his heart was flying out of his body.

“So I’m saying sorry to you! What’s the point of complaining so much? Aren’t you guys okay?”

There was no sincerity in Yan Chengyu’s words at all as he said lazily.

But Yan Chengyu also sighed, “Only Yangyi could come up with such a childish trick. It’s a good thing that this shoelace won’t trigger every gun, or they’d really have just died.”

“If there was enough time for Yangyi to think it over, I guess, Ke Moer and Ke Jie really would have died just now.”

An Yan even agreed with Yan Chengyu’s commentary, after which his gaze kept going to the fish pond not far away.

The bottom half of Yangyi’s body was wet just now. And the fishpond was below the window of this room, so it seemed that Xu Yangyi had gone around the front door through the pond, so it was no wonder they couldn’t find Xu Yangyi in the room.

But what about the explosion? And how had it come about?

Having figured that out, An Yan couldn’t think of why on earth the kitchen had suddenly exploded and it matched with the guns so wonderfully.

“I guess it was the bullets. He put the bullets in the pot and heated them continuously, burning them to a certain temperature, and then they would explode. After all, the bullets contain gunpowder.”

Yan Chengyu explained to An Yan after looking at the wet footprints all around and reasoning out the general process.

So that was it! The kitchen was the easiest place to catch fire, and that was why, through the butterfly effect, the bullets finally caused a big explosion.

An Yan and Yan Chengyu could not help but admire Xu Yangyi for a while. Although it was not a difficult ploy, it was practical enough to scare the enemy.
