Chapter 555: Chapter 555: The Stubborn Elderly Mr. Di, Secret Orders from Garrison Commander
Elderly Mr. Di blew his beard and widened his eyes: “I’ve been unworthy of Third Child since he was little, and I’m also unworthy of the Dou Family. This time, no matter what, I, as a father, will stand by his side!”
“Father, what are you talking about? Isn’t Gao Yuan also the son of you and mother-in-law? Father…”
Elderly Mr. Di shook his crutch: “Let me say it again, if you are afraid of being implicated, you can leave the family voluntarily or return to your Wang Family. It’s up to you!”
After saying that, he turned around and entered the room, leaving several people behind.
He was utterly disappointed in his second child!
Ms. Wang shouted from behind, but there was no response from the room.
…
Di Yelei was suffering greatly in the black prison.
Due to concerns about him escaping, when County Magistrate Su put him back into the black prison, he did not remove the collar and handcuffs on Di Yelei’s neck and wrists and ankles.
The collar was made of an unknown wood and weighed about a hundred pounds; along with the weight of the handcuffs and shackles, he didn’t feel the burden at first. However, as time went on, the pain of not being able to straighten his hands and raise his head became unbearable.
What was even more important was his anxiety for the safety of everyone outside. His heart was burning with impatience.
There was no reference point in the darkness, and he had no way of knowing how time passed. His anxiety grew stronger as time went on.
Finally, when the faint sound transmitted from the ground, he suddenly tensed up!
Why would there be movement underground?
Could it be…
The sounds underground continued, and Di Yelei’s muscles were tense, ready to strike at any moment.
Sure enough, after a moment, a stone slab at the edge of the black prison shifted slightly. Soon, it was lifted, revealing a pitch-black head.
“Speak! Who are you?”
As the head had not yet fully emerged, a stern shout sounded above it.
“Son-in-law? Finally, I’ve found you! Little Miss sent me…”
The visitor whispered, then jumped out from under the stone slab, revealing a rather short man.
“Little Miss?” Di Yelei squinted his eyes, filled with suspicion.
“Son-in-law, we are all servants of Young Master. Before Young Master entered the capital, he ordered us to follow Little Miss’s instructions.”
“Which Young Master?”
“…Young Master Nan, of course…”
“Oh, I see.”
Di Yelei nodded to show he understood: “How is Sisi now?”
“Son-in-law, please don’t worry, Little Miss, Young Master, and the little lady are all fine! That day… ”
While people entered the dungeon prison, the governmental office remained unaware. At the moment, they were busy greeting Tan Hong, a trusted envoy sent by Lord Garrison Commander.
Upon arriving, Tan Hong naturally searched for Xin Quan. County Magistrate Su was well prepared and quickly attended to the envoy carefully.
“Brother Xin is doing his utmost to serve the court, and he has been extremely busy. He worked tirelessly until dawn yesterday. Envoy, if you can wait a moment, allow me to call for Brother Xin, so he can follow your instructions?”
“Since Lord Xin is so exhausted, let him rest well. I can entrust the matter to you.”
These words delighted County Magistrate Su!
But he forcibly suppressed the excitement on his face: “Thank you, Lord, for your trust and cultivation. Your Honor, please wait a moment; I have prepared a delicious meal for you. We can wait until you are full and then discuss it in detail.”
Although he was extremely anxious in his heart, wanting to get the details from the envoy as soon as possible, he knew this was not something he could rush.
“No need. Food can be eaten anytime. Let me convey Lord Garrison Commander’s instructions first.”
