Chapter 549 (2/2)

He shook his head. “I didn’t! If I did, I wouldn’t have entered like that. I’d use another method, taking Li Yue away secretly.”

“If you didn’t know, then why did you prepare so many items? Who were you planning to fight against?”

“The Li family, of course. I was prepared to make the entire family sleep. I initially wanted to make that happen before I appear but Li Yue was talking bad about me so I couldn’t help but talk too.”

“...”

These people sulked even more. They couldn’t believe their men were ‘mistakenly harmed’!

“I’m sorry I got you all involved too. They’re just sleeping, there won’t be a problem.” Ye Lang seemed to understand why they were upset so he tried to comfort them to no avail.

“...” They lamented, “It’s not about the sleep. We just can’t afford to provoke the empress, she’ll get angry if she knows we failed.”

“Let her talk to me instead!” offered Ye Lang heroically.

“That’s what she’s been trying to do, but do you want her to?” huffed another guy who was deeply disgusted by Ye Lang faking his heroicness.

“Nope!” he shook his head. “And that is why, I’ll be leaving now. You don’t have to send me off!”

Ye Lang left with Li Yue in his arms as he spoke. At this moment, Li Tianjun and the rest tried their best to surround Ye Lang.

However, Ye Lang broke through their circle in the blink of an eye, his silhouette appeared at the gates. No one could stop him.

Although they were mildly influenced by the drug, their skills weren’t diminished so much that a person could escape just like that! Was the thirteenth prince really secretly a master?

The group stared as Ye Lang disappeared at the gates, stunned. They knew Ye Lang might break out but they hadn’t expected it to be so easy.

“After him!!”

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone remembered what they were supposed to do- catch Ye Lang. However, they realised there was another problem- something they were very impressed by too.

When they exited the house, the entire area around the residence was covered in a thick veil of fog. Visibility was extremely low, how could they catch Ye Lang like that?

The fog didn’t just function as a sleeping drug, it was also a fog bomb so he could escape within the fog.

“We’ll split up!”

Since they had no other choice, everyone left who could still move split up to chase after Ye Lang while calling for backup to block Ye Lang from the outside. However, the area they were working with was very big.

The Li Residence was already huge, and now Ye Lang covered a huge area outside of the Residence too. That was why no one knew which direction Ye Lang would run in, it was difficult to strategize.

Basically, Ye Lang had succeeded again! He’d easily kidnapped Li Yue right under so many people’s noses, everyone could not believe their eyes!

To be fair, Ye Lang’s success also relied on some help- which involved his approval ratings in this city.
