Chapter 684 - Ruin (2/2)

After Mu Sihan hung up the call with Ye Fengjun, he opened his iPad and clicked on today’s headlines.

Accusing content filled the headlines.

“The Fourth Prince suffered from a serious illness and was saved by a skilled master. After he was cured, he repaid kindness with ingrat.i.tude and sent his close confidant to brutally kill that skilled master!”

There was also a recording.

The contents of the recording were what Ah Li had said only that morning.

Other than the recording, there was another video of the testimonies of the villagers from the village.

The village head and his family were interviewed. “We didn’t expect that he would be the Fourth Prince of Country S. When he came to our village to look for Old Mr Bai to treat him, he was well-dressed and courteous. n.o.body expected that he was fiend in human skin. Old Mr Bai saved him, but that monster killed Old Mr Bai.”

“No one is above the law! We can’t treat it like nothing happened just because he is a prince! Even if he is going to shoot all of us in the village today, I will seek justice for Old Mr Bai!”

Yi Fan had also seen the video and he was in disbelief.

“Young Master, this is a conspiracy! Someone wants to stop you from being the Crown Prince.”

This was a homicide and compared to the scandal previously, it was much more serious.

Yi Fan’s face was tensed and furious. “Could it be the Fifth Prince?”

The political fight in court was unpredictable and had always been cruel and intense. In order to be in power, compet.i.tors would use all kinds of despicable methods.

If you won, you would rise to impossible heights, but if you were to lose, your reputation would be ruined to the point it might even cost you your life.

Those were the rules of this game.

Mu Sihan’s tall body leaned against the leather chair and his dark eyes narrowed. “It shouldn’t be Ye Yanfeng this time.”

Recently, the news of Shangguan Wan going to Yukou border had hit Ye Yanfeng very hard. Even if Ye Fengshu was being ambitious behind Ye Yanfeng, the two of them did not know that he was poisoned by the parasite, let alone find out that he had gone to the village to look for Old Mr Bai for a cure.

There were only a few people who knew about it.

…

Nan Zhi was awoken by her phone’s ringtone.

She opened her eyes and it took her awhile before her thoughts slowly came back.

Finding her phone, she pressed the answer b.u.t.ton.

“Little Flower, are you okay?” Hearing Gu Sheng’s clear voice, Nan Zhi closed her eyes and opened them again. “I’m fine. How’s Ling’er?”

“She woke up once, but she is still in low spirits,” Gu Sheng was silent for a few seconds before continuing, “Are you still at Mu Sihan’s? Did you see the news?”

Nan Zhi frowned. “What news?”

After she hung up, Nan Zhi clicked open a news website.

She was stunned when she saw the headlines.

Ah Li had only just killed himself and the recording of his conversation with Mu Sihan was already leaked.

Noone should have been able to record their conversation in the palace this morning.

Could it be that there was a listening device on Ah Li?

For a royal prince, a matter involving death was fine to be settled in private and not made known to people. But now it had already spread to the internet and become known to the world. If it was not settled properly, it would make the people lose their trust, affecting their support for him. This was no doubt a devastating blow!

Nan Zhi was 100% sure that someone bribed Ah Li, asking him to kill Old Mr Bai and then push the blame on Mu Sihan.

Mu Sihan had said before that his close confidants were people he trusted. So who had the ability to bribe Mu Sihan’s closest confidants?

Not only that, in order to make Mu Sihan lose the support of the people, the person had planned this series of schemes so meticulously that it was frightening.

But who could it be?
