Chapter 339 - 339 YU MING HAD PLANNED EVERYTHING

339 YU MING HAD PLANNED EVERYTHING

So, that was the real reason, huh? Sure enough, someone like Yu Ming wouldn’t let someone he hated follow him for no reason, and the reason definitely wasn’t just because he needed someone else to help him protect Bai Chen tonight.

Bai Chen had accurately guessed that Yu Ming did have other motives so he decided to take Wu Jingguo with him tonight, and the reason was to use the Crown Prince to knock on the door of a noble surnamed Fan’s manor.

When Wu Jingguo heard Yu Ming’s statement, he immediately raised his eyebrows in disbelief, and he also looked to disapprove of Yu Ming’s idea. However, Yu Ming was indeed very cunning, and he calmly said that it was actually Wu Jinhai’s idea to bring Wu Jingguo to investigate tonight, and that was why Wu Jinhai would definitely be annoyed if Wu Jingguo did not comply.

Bai Chen looked speechless after hearing what Yu Ming said to Wu Jingguo. Previously Yu Ming said that Wu Jinhai was worried about his whereabouts when the man suddenly felt that he was not in the Imperial Palace of Xinyang, and it sufficed to say that Wu Jinhai originally did not know of Yu Ming’s idea of going to the noble surnamed Fan tonight.

The lie was too obvious, but to his surprise, Wu Jingguo ate the lie completely, and the blue-robed man looked like a fool as he completely believed Yu Ming’s nonsense.

‘Is he really the Crown Prince of Wu Li? How can he rule the empire with his gullible character?’ Bai Chen couldn’t help but wonder. Even if he had to admit that he wasn’t smart himself, he thought Wu Jingguo was even more foolish than him.

At this point, Bai Chen realized that there were some differences between Wu Jinhai and Wu Jingguo, and one of those differences seemed to be their brains.

In the end, Wu Jingguo led his brown horse toward the Fan manor, and Yu Ming smirked before following in the Crown Prince’s footsteps. Bai Chen was once again speechless, but he could only shake his head before taking his white horse to follow the two freaks.

Just like what Yu Ming had planned sneakily, Wu Jingguo knocked on the door, and then two guards came to open the door for him. Wu Jingguo didn’t even say anything to them and just showed the two men something like jade, and the two men immediately went on their knees as if knowing that the person standing in front of them did deserve the respect.

.....

Bai Chen had heard that every Wu Li royal family had a jade that was like their identity card, and that was why it was no wonder that the two guards immediately knelt when they could see that it was the Crown Prince of the empire visiting the manor tonight.

“I want to see Fan Zedong tonight. Is he asleep yet?” Wu Jingguo asked the two men still kneeling to show their respect for him.

“M-master Fan is resting now, Your Highness! He hasn’t been feeling well recently, and that’s why he went to bed early tonight!” Replied one of the guards in a tone full of fear as if the Crown Prince would immediately slit their throats if they failed to give a satisfactory answer.

“I also heard that he hasn’t been feeling well recently, and that’s why I came all the way from the palace to this place to visit him. Do you want me to return to the palace now?” Calmly, Wu Jingguo asked the poor guards again.

At this moment, Bai Chen and Yu Ming were standing two feet behind Wu Jingguo, and it looked like they were acting as the Crown Prince’s bodyguards or something. However, right now, Bai Chen had to admit that Wu Jingguo was quite the charmer, and it seemed like he really knew how he should act as the Crown Prince of this empire.

Suddenly, Wu Jingguo didn’t look so stupid anymore, and Bai Chen could understand why Yu Ming even brought the Crown Prince with them tonight. He just didn’t understand why Yu Ming could so casually involve Wu Jingguo in their investigation tonight even if the man knew very well that Wu Jingguo was Wu Jinhai’s rival.

Two rivals shouldn’t know each other’s business, right? So, why did Yu Ming calmly let Wu Jingguo “spy” on their activities tonight? Did Wu Jinhai know about this matter? What if Wu Jinhai disagreed with Yu Ming’s plan?

Bai Chen was confused by a few things, but he knew that he needed to focus on one thing at the moment, and that was why he once again turned his gaze to the two guards who were still kneeling on the ground.

He really felt bad for the guards. They were naive for sure, but they were put in a difficult situation by Wu Jingguo. Now, the decision rested with the guards even if they weren’t the owners of the manor, and Bai Chen could only wait for what the two men would say to the Crown Prince.

He could see how the two guards looked at each other as if discussing the matter with their gazes, and both of them looked extremely frightened before they turned to the Crown Prince once again.

“We... we will inform Master Fan of your arrival, Your Highness. Now please enter and wait in the reception room of the manor,” one of the guards voiced their decision in front of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince nodded to him, seeming to be satisfied with the decision.

The guards then rose from their positions before escorting the three guests to the reception hall. Only one of them was doing the job, while the other was off somewhere, probably heading to his master’s room to inform his master of the Crown Prince’s arrival.

Bai Chen and Yu Ming walked behind Wu Jingguo who was escorted by the guard, and when Bai Chen glanced at the man in black walking next to him, he could see how the man grinned in satisfaction.

Sure enough, Yu Ming had planned everything.
