Someone wanted to stop them, but the search was too fast. After the people had searched the shops, they began arresting officials of the military and cadres.

Through this search and capture, all Su Yan Mo’s connections under the prestige of the Su family were removed one by one.

Not only were her cronies removed, but even those who were familiar with her were wiped out as well.

This not only completely cut off Su Yan Mo’s power in the Capital, but it also served as a warning to her, at the same time sending a message to the public stating that if anyone helped this woman, they would also be severely punished!

All of these were done in the dark.

Not many people could react to this sudden initiative, not to mention Li Meng, who was preparing to escape from the Capital.

He was taking all the gold he could carry when he was instantly surrounded by the shadow guards who charged in.

When he finally came to his senses, all he could do was to wonder about the person who was behind this, the person who was arresting others in the Capital.

He could not possibly think that it was caused by the Third Prince himself…

When Li Meng came to yamen, he was covered in dirt from top to bottom, and in front of him was a pair of bloodshot eyes staring back at him. He did not care whether he had kidnapped the Seventh Prince. He believed in Madam Su’s words and insisted that Helian Wei Wei wanted to usurp the throne; she was the one to be blamed for all that had happened.

At this moment, the prince stood in the shadow of the interrogation room, listening to Li Meng’s words solemnly.

Li Meng was still not aware of the danger he was encountering. The chain on his hands jingled with his movements, releasing a dissatisfied sound. “I acted according to the order. Helian Wei Wei committed such a big crime, how is it possible that I have arrested the wrong person?”

Ah!

Baili Jia Jue stretched out his long legs and slowly walked out of the shadows. His eyes showed indifference, his thin lips pressed into a smile as he rose up and uttered, “What did you say?”

Li Meng suddenly screamed and his whole scalp was numb. He dared not move. He could only call out, “Third Prince.”

Before he had the chance to finish, Baili Jia Jue suddenly reached out his slender, pale hand, tearing through the darkness as he wrapped it around his neck!

The coldness was the first thing that flashed through Li Meng’s mind followed by agonizing pain and fear!

This was because he was being strangled by the neck while hanging off the ground!

The feeling of lifting his feet off the ground made Li Meng lose his center.

His lips began to tremble slightly; his eyes filled with horror.

Baili Jia Jue was too fast, and Li Meng had no time to react. In the darkness, his eyes were glowing red, and his skin was as pale as chalk without a tinge of blood, enough to frighten the soul out of anyone. “You think you’ve caught the right person, eh?”

His icy breath was filled with sinister. He pulled his face away from the darkness and a cruel smile could be seen plastered on his face.

As his throat was being crushed, it was extremely difficult for Li Meng to even open his mouth. His feet were still hanging in the air, and he felt like he would die in the next moment.

Standing to the side, the officer in charge of the interrogation quickly wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and slowly stuttered the words, “Your… Your Highness…”

Baili Jia Jue pretended to be ignorant, he elegantly stood in the center with his rosy lips and pretty white teeth complimenting his handsome and unparalleled face. He appeared like a deity emerging from a painting, but the corner of his mouth harbored ruthlessness, showing signs of not being unleashed for way too long. A strong desire for killing filled him. This was the true overlord who had once become famous and dominated the capital.
