There was no expression on his face, but his brow was furrowed.

While Jiang Suizhou was in a daze, he pushed Wei Kai away, controlled his wheelchair, entered his room, and shut the door to the outside.

“What are you up to?” Huo Wujiu asked.

Jiang Suizhou only thought about concealing the truth. “Nothing. It’s just Gu Changyun, who…”

“Are you going to fool me with words that fool outsiders?” Huo Wujiu’s gaze looked mean. He stopped on Gu Changyun’s face and looked back at Jiang Suizhou.

“You have been talking with the two of them for a long time today, and now you’re going out. What is it that I cannot know?”

Huo Wujiu looked aggressive and fierce, but only he knew that he had been waiting for Jiang Suizhou for the whole day today.

He figured that Jiang Suizhou was up to something. Otherwise, the main house wouldn’t be so busy today. However, Jiang Suizhou, who should have dropped by to speak with him long ago, was slow in coming.

Huo Wujiu had been edgy all day and finally ran out of patience.

He didn’t know why Jiang Suizhou was hiding things from him. He only knew that he needed to stop Jiang Suizhou and clarify things.

Jiang Suizhou knew that it was impossible to hide from him.

He took a deep breath and could only explain honestly and concisely, “It’s really nothing. I just have an appointment with General Lou and have something to say to him.”

Huo Wujiu swung his wheelchair in front of him and stretched his hand towards him. “Take it out.”

Jiang Suizhou reluctantly put the prepared evidence in Huo Wujiu’s hands.

Gu Changyun next to him was dumbfounded.

When did His Highness start listening to Huo Wujiu like this? And this Huo Wujiu… Although he sounded a bit fierce, his gaze on His Highness was both angry and helpless.

This was the first time he saw such vivid emotions on Huo Wujiu’s face. When the two were facing each other, the atmosphere they exuded was really that of cut sleeves.

Huo Wujiu had no time to pay attention to Gu Changyun. He took the letters handed to him by Jiang Suizhou, skimmed through them, and then put them on his lap.

“What are you going to do? Remind him, or threaten him?”

Although he threw the question, Jiang Suizhou perceived that Huo Wujiu had already guessed what he wanted to do.

Sure enough, without waiting for his response, Huo Wujiu continued, “Do you really think Lou Yue is a weakling and so easily scared? You’ve only known him for a few days. Do you know what kind of person he is and what he will do? Jiang Suizhou, you really have a lot of guts.”

This was the first time Huo Wujiu called Jiang Suizhou by his full name.

Jiang Suizhou hesitated, but still expressed himself somewhat defiantly, “I made a few preparations…”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?” Huo Wujiu questioned.

Jiang Suizhou replied, “You have a close relationship with him, so later… it’s still inappropriate for you to step forward.”

Huo Wujiu didn’t know what Jiang Suizhou had vaguely said in the past and what he was going to do in the future, but after hearing his answer, he couldn’t help but get angry, but at the same time feel helpless.

It was fine for him to think about protecting this and that all day long, but to protect him in front of Lou Yue? He was really stupid.

Huo Wujiu did not comment much. He just folded the letters a few times, then stuffed them straight into his lapel, and looked at Jiang Suizhou.

“Let’s go then.” He said, “Wait for me.”

——

In a very inconspicuous compartment in Golden Jade Pavilion, four people were sitting around the table. Among them, Lou Yue and Gu Changyun were both dumbstruck, so no one spoke for a time.

Gu Changyun was here as an alibi, the excuse for Jiang Suizhou’s visit to the Golden Jade Pavilion. It was just a trifling matter, but against all expectations… he witnessed such a shocking scene.

Huo Wujiu’s legs were actually healed. He heard Huo Wujiu say “Wait for me” to the Prince, but he didn’t expect that Huo Wujiu was talking about waiting for him at the Golden Jade Pavilion.

When he and the Prince arrived at the restaurant by carriage and entered the private room, he saw Huo Wujiu, who was standing with his legs intact, inside.

He only stared at Huo Wujiu, feeling a chill run through his body.

At some point, this man, who was once a cripple and bullied by others, became the War God who could snap necks with a hand. He didn’t even know it, much less Pang Shao, who had been stirring trouble these days.

And Lou Yue…

His oval eyes widened and he stared at Huo Wujiu in surprise.

He initially made full plans and was waiting to confront the unfathomable Jingwang. Unexpectedly, the one sitting directly opposite him tonight was Huo Wujiu, with one hand on his knees and a cold, solemn look.

Jingwang sat beside him without saying a word, showing a pitiful look.

“General Lou, take your seat.” Huo Wujiu was not polite with him. He raised his hand and let the waiters serve the food. He then picked up his wine cup and gestured an invitation towards Lou Yue.

The look on Lou Yue’s face couldn’t be painted, but he could do nothing about it: “Wujiu, cut to the chase.”

“Jingwang has also told you today, right? The present is different from the past. General Lou. I’m afraid you can’t reject me today,” Huo Wujiu said.

His tone was cold and unyielding. It didn’t look like he was here to discuss things with him at all. On the contrary, it was as if he placed the word threat on a plate and served it to the table.

Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help but break a sweat. Lou Yue, on the other hand, revealed indignation.

“Are you so sure?” Lou Yue retorted unhappily, “You’re forcing me to commit treason. Wujiu, your father didn’t even do this back then.”

But Huo Wujiu said, “I’m not forcing you, Pang Shao is.”
