Chapter 231

‘Xing Chen? What… What’s going on? Why is Xing Chen here?’

Wei Wei was afraid that he was having an illusion. After he blinked again and saw the person in front of him did not disappear, his face suddenly turned pale and he shockingly looked at Xing Chen, who was equally as shocked as he was.

‘Wei… Wei? What is going on? How is he here? And he’s now… dressing in soldier uniform?’

Xing Chen felt like he had been struck by the thunder, and then his pupils dilated in shock, ‘The… eldest Prince?’

‘F**k!’ Xing Chen cursed in his heart and his eyes were full of anger.

‘My prince, I’ve told you to not let Wei Wei have contact with any of these people even if he threats you with his life. But why would you still approve him to be a spy here? Don’t you know how simple he is? It’s only a matter of time for him to be exposed.’

Seeing Xing Chen’s eyes were full of anger, Wei Wei immediately looked down. He looked like he was in panic and scared, ‘Is Xing Chen angry now? But that’s understandable, because I’ve begged the eldest Prince for a long time so as to make him approve me to help Nan Xiao here. And I’ve never talked about this with Xing Chen. It’s completely normal that he would be mad at me now. But, why is Xing Chen here, and he is injured? Was he caught?’

Wei Wei was a very simple man. He was so frightened by the situation that his fear was written all over his face.

And the relationship between Wei Wei and Xing Chen was a little complicated. Xing Chen was the little brother of Wei Wei’s elder brother’s wife, which meant Xing Chen’s elder sister was married to Wei Wei’s elder brother. A few years ago, Wei Wei’s brother and his sister-in-law were both killed, and he was alone ever since. In order to find the culprit, he persuaded Ke Jie to allow him to come here as a spy by He Jingyan’s side.

Of course, Ke Jie wouldn’t refuse this offer; the more people he got over there, the more likely his plan would success. in this case, he arranged Wei Wei to join He Jingyan’s crew without telling Xing Chen, and asked Wei Wei to help Nan Xiao. That was why they were so surprised when they met.

“So, are you still going to tell me that you don’t know what I’m talking about?” He Jingyan looked at the expressions on their faces and then turned to Xing Chen.

Because they were both too surprised just now, even a fool could tell that they knew each other just by seeing their mood swings. And of course, they were definitely not simply acquaintances.

“You can choose to remain silent. I won’t force you to say anything, but if I interrogate Wei Wei myself, I can’t guarantee that he can still stand in front of you intact.” He Jingyan threatened when he didn not hear Xing Chen’s answer.

Certainly, He Jingyan did not know their relationship in advance, but he guessed that Xing Chen must be in the same group as the spies here in his army. And now he said that because he had just felt the intense atmosphere between them; he decided to set up a trap for Xing Chen to see how familiar they were, or if he could threaten Xing Chen with Wei Wei.

Hearing that He Jingyan would harm Wei Wei, Xing Chen’s body went stiff because Wei Wei was the man whom his sister entrusted him to take care of. Xing Chen didn’t care about his own death, but he could never leave Wei Wei in the lurch.

“It’s useless for you to interrogate Wei Wei. He doesn’t know anything. Use whatever heartless torture skill you got on me, leave him alone.” Xing Chen’s tone sounded very emotional and he had lost his usual calmness.

Wei Wei was bewildered and he knew that his identity had been exposed. He immediately ran to Xing Chen and blocked him behind him, begging He Jingyan with a pale face, “Please don’t kill Xing Chen. I’ll tell you anything.”

‘I had already lost my brother and sister-in-law. It was Xing Chen who brought me the motivation to live. I can’t let Xing Chen die, no matter what.’
