“I’m sorry, Colonel. It’s my fault. I fail to keep the Second Prince safe. I’m sorry.”
An Yan apologized, then slapped himself hard.
He was not reconciled, but it was because he had not taken his enemies seriously that it happened and it was all his fault.
“So, where is my wife?” He Jingyan’s voice was still cold. Even though it was not a yell, there was still an obvious pain attached to it.
“He is probably taken away with Ke Moer. We didn’t know what their purpose was, but it was an unexpected event and there was no way we could have prepared for it.”
This was something they didn’t want to see either, so Long Chen spoke in favor of An Yan.
Hearing it, He Jingyan let out a painful sigh and even the action of normal breathing hurt him.
He hated himself for not being tough enough and letting Xu Yangyi run around, which led to this to happen.
“Who took them?”
He Jingyan returned to normal and calmed down.
“Man Na’s younger brother, Man Lin.” Long Chen said.
Ke Jie, who heard the name of Man Lin behind He Jingyan, found it hard to believe. ‘Man Lin?’ Then he became furious.
He clenched his hands and went straight to punch Man Dali, then roared, “Where are you keeping Ke Moer? Give him back to me.” He then grabbed Man Dali by the collar and glared at him, revealing the pain inside his eyes.
Now Ke Jie also regretted that he took away Ke Moer’s gun. If he hadn’t taken it, Ke Moer could be able to protect himself with the gun when Man Lin approached him.
“Tell me, where are you keeping Ke Moer?” he continued to shout at Man Dali as he shook his body.
Man Dali had just been punched in the face and was still feeling dizzy now, so he didn’t answer Ke Jie’s question in time.
This was the first time he saw Ke Jie being so angry. Normally, he just showed discontent on his face.
“I… I don’t know. I really have nothing to do with it.”
Man Dali knew that it was his second son who took Ke Moer away, but he would never admit it.
“He Jingyan’s subordinates said that it was Man Lin who took Ke Moer away. You, Man Dali, wish to disassociate yourself from it? Do you think it’s possible?” He roared again.
“No, First Prince. Man Lin is not from my family. He is my sister’s adopted son! How can this have anything to do with me?”
Ke Jie’s sudden temper made Man Dali’s heart tremble, but he was afraid that it would make He Jingyan hate him even more so he could only shut up.
‘The damned boy, Man Dasi, how does he dares to touch He Jingyan’s wife? Doesn’t he know how much He Jingyan cares about his wife? Now with this gun fight, I’m surely a dead man and there’s no way I can explain my innocence.’
“First Prince, this is all my younger brother’s doing. Please let my father go.”
Man Dawei suddenly rushed out to stop him and even exposed Man Dasi.
‘Man Dasi, I didn’t expect you to ask for trouble by yourself. Now that things have escalated, you surely have offended He Jingyan.’
Man Dawei sneered in his heart because he have always wanted to eliminate Man Dasi but he couldn’t find an opportunity.
With the incident today, Man Dasi no longer had the power to compete for the throne with him. Man Dali was the only one who was in his way to the throne.
“Man Dawei?” Man Dali was stunned.
“Things have come to this. Do you still wish to protect him?” Man Dawei acted as a good man.
“He’s your younger brother!”
No matter how heartless and cruel Man Dali was, he would never betray his own sons.
