Chapter 351 - 351 FRIEND AND FOE

351 FRIEND AND FOE

The three men finally gathered again in Yu Ming’s room, but the three of them were sitting at the table now. Wu Jingguo was no longer sitting at the window like he did last night, and he was also properly wearing his blue robe again. The Crown Prince still had a shame, after all, and Bai Chen was glad that Yu Ming also still felt a bit of embarrassment as he too dressed properly once more before finally gathering at the square table.

“So, you did meet your mother’s ghost, Prince Bai Chen?” Yu Ming asked Bai Chen again, and the Werewolf Prince let out a heavy sigh as the fish demon kept saying the word “ghost.”

“Are you afraid of ghosts, Yu laoban? You are a demon, but you are afraid of ghosts?” Bai Chen asked the older man instead of answering the question given by the man.

Of course, Bai Chen knew the difference between demons and ghosts, but he still couldn’t believe that Yu Ming was indeed afraid of ghosts when the man held the status of Wu Jinhai’s master.

“Why should I be afraid of ghosts? I’m asking just out of curiosity!” Yu Ming denied it, but Bai Chen just stared at him flatly.

There was probably no need to continue talking about ghosts, and that was why Bai Chen seriously explained, “I didn’t meet my mother’s ghost, but she came to my dream and told me a bit of a hint about the person who killed her all those years ago.”

“Do you believe in dreams, Prince Bai Chen?” This time, it was Wu Jingguo who asked the question.

Turning his gaze from Yu Ming to the Crown Prince, Bai Chen replied, “I know it wasn’t just an ordinary dream, Your Highness. My mother died many years ago, and sometimes she did come into my dreams, but the dream I had just now was different. It felt so real that I almost thought I actually met the ghost of my mother.”

If Bai Chen could tell the truth about his opinion regarding dreams, then he needed to say that he did indeed believe in dreams. After all, even Bai Lang often came to him in his dreams, and he was certain that he had started having extraordinary dreams after he returned to this world.

.....

But he knew that he couldn’t express it in front of the two men, and that was why he chose to explain the situation realistically.

“I believe in Prince Bai Chen,” Yu Ming chimed in from the side. “I also had a dream like that when my mother visited me. And like your experience, my mother also told me something important.”

Even if Yu Ming was acting like a child just a moment ago, he suddenly looked serious when talking about his mother. At this moment, Bai Chen knew that he was not much different from the fish demon. Both of them had lost their mothers, and because of that, he could understand why Yu Ming’s attitude had changed slightly when they talked about their mothers.

“Earlier you said that it was the person your mother trusted the most who killed her, right? Perhaps you could start listing the people around your mother when she was alive,” Wu Jingguo suddenly voiced his opinion, and Bai Chen turned to the man as he tacitly agreed with the man.

It probably wouldn’t be too difficult for him to list the people his mother was close to when she was alive. After all, his mother didn’t have many friends, and that was why the list wouldn’t be long if he intended to make one.

“Before you list, I have a question for you, Prince Bai Chen,” Yu Ming once again joined the conversation, and Bai Chen once again turned to him. “Your mother was killed many years ago, and I heard she was killed in your palace. Don’t you have someone in mind, Prince Bai Chen?”

That incident happened a long time ago, and of course, Bai Chen did suspect someone to be his mother’s killer.

“I suspect my half-brother, but I know my suspicions were wrong,” Bai Chen replied, but he averted his eyes from Yu Ming when he suddenly felt terrible in his heart.

In his previous life, he had suspected Bai Renshu of killing his mother. Even if he carefully worked out a few theories in his head, it made sense that Bai Renshu hated his mother so much because his mother was the one who had destroyed his family more than two decades ago. Bai Renshu did have a motive, and that was why Bai Chen hated that man so much in his previous life.

But after he returned to this world and things changed because of the system in his head, he finally found out that Bai Renshu was innocent. The older man might seem like a criminal, but deep down, that man cared for him and his mother.

He didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry after knowing the truth. He only thought that everything was too vague in this world, and he couldn’t just tell which people were good and which were bad.

In the end, Bai Chen even needed to explain about how he ended up changing his opinion of Bai Renshu. Perhaps the information was also quite unexpected for Wu Jingguo and Yu Ming, and that was why the two of them didn’t respond right away even after he finished explaining.

“A foe turns out to be a friend, huh?” Finally, it was Yu Ming who responded to the Werewolf Prince. “Then, it’s possible for a friend to turn into a foe, isn’t it, Prince Bai Chen?”

Yu Ming had just casually voiced his opinion, but that simple opinion was enough to shock Bai Chen. In this world, everything was indeed unclear. A friend pretended to be an enemy for a reason, and it was indeed possible for an enemy to pretend to be a friend for a reason too.

Things were indeed not simple, and Bai Chen’s brain was scrambling to find some clues after he realized that Yu Ming might not be wrong with his theory.

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind, and his body froze.
