Chapter 689 - Trying To Arrest His Highness? Foolish! (2/2)
The man was still standing at the alley entrance. Holding his head high, he threw a glance at the back of Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue. He looked increasingly displeased and disgusted as he stared at them as if they were his servants. “You’re visiting the Yan family again? Hah, I really don’t understand why are there so many of you senseless people nowadays.”
The man took two steps forward as he spoke and stopped merely a few inches away from Baili Jia Jue. “I’ve warned you. You guys will never beat me. It’s better for you to give up now. Stop thinking so highly of yourselves just because you study and know a thing or two. Look at your shabby clothes. I bet there will be no young ladies who is willing to marry you.”
Baili Jia Jue did not utter a word. In fact, he simply raised his handsome eyebrows as he folded his right sleeve with his left hand nonchalantly.
It was then Helian Wei Wei watched as Blackie charged toward the man furiously, so fast that its fur flew in the wind. In a split second, it sank its teeth into his leg!
“Ahhhh!”
Immediately, his face turned ghastly pale before he bent his leg and hit the ground with his knees. He looked around, not knowing why he felt like he was bitten by something.
Seeing that his young master were on his knees, the servant reckoned that his master had slipped on the snowy floor. He hurriedly help him up and asked, “Are you alright, young master?”
They stirred up such a hubbub and awakened the entire neighborhood. Everyone was craning their necks to check out the commotion.
Feeling embarra.s.sed, the man flung his legs before he turned to block Baili Jia Jue in his way. “Well, well, well. How dare you ambush me! Do you not know who am I? There’s no way you’re leaving today unless you kneel down before me and apologize to me!”
Baili Jia Jue walked past him without sparing him a glance.
Never had the man seen someone who dared disregard him like this before. “Call the imperial officers over now. Tell them that I’ve found a suspect and I have some clues to provide!” he hissed.
“But, old master said that…” the servant attempted to convince his master.
The man sneered, “Father is asking you to purge me of suspicion. Now, there’s someone who is more suspicious than me. So, what the h*ll are you worrying about? Bring my father here too. Let’s see how are these fellows going to escape!”
Helian Wei Wei deepened her gaze upon hearing his words. She painted a curl on her lips before she pulled His Highness by his sleeve and started to communicate with him via consciousness stream, “It seems like he has a pretty strong background.”
“Second Master Zhang,” Baili Jia Jue enunciated.
Helian Wei Wei knew that His Highness was always intelligent and, naturally, he could easily make the right guess. Not only that, she also knew that the slower His Highness spoke, the more brutal he was planning to act.
Helian Wei Wei did not want to bemoan Second Master Zhang anymore for she knew that he would soon be dead meat.
Instead, she felt sorry to Old Master Zhang as he would most probably lose his official position…
Sigh…
Helian Wei Wei threw Second Master Zhang another glance and thought to herself. He’s a fool who only knows how to create trouble for his father.
The onlookers were looking at them too. Yan Liu’er immediately recognized the man who was having conflicts with Second Master Zhang. He was one of the two young masters who visited her residence a moment ago. Quickly, she came forward to help Baili Jia Jue.
“I’m afraid that you’re mistaken, Young Master Zhang. They are not suspects but Feng Shui specialists.”
Helian Wei Wei frowned instinctively upon hearing this. She and His Highness hid their martial Qi just now as they did not want to act rashly and alert the enemy.
They believed that the culprit must be among the families who stayed in this alley!
