Chapter 785 - Bring Him (1/2)

After a long drive of three hours, both father and son arrived at a palace. It was literally like a palace. Since the Wen Clan were known as the royal descendants, even their family house was passed down from generations that looked like a big palace.

Standing before this familiar and yet unfamiliar place, Xin Zimen turned his head to look at his son. Xiao Li could feel his father's gaze but he chose to avoid it. There was really no need for his father to know what had he been up to.

”Don't just stand there, day,” with those words he made a run for his life and created a bit of a distance between himself and his father. He knew if he stood closer, his father would definitely end up beating him right here.

He wouldn't even care about rows of people gathered around with their head bowed slightly showing their respect towards their master.

Xin Zimen currently had too many questions for this son of his but he didn't want to question him before all these people around them. He only looked at Xin Kuan who had followed him and asked, ”Must be nostalgic for you, Brother Kuan.” Xin Kuan gave him a questioning look. ”You grew up here, didn't you?”

Xin Kuan took a moment to look around and nodded, ”It brings back a lot of memories indeed.”

”You knew what my son had been up to?” he inquired in a stern voice.

”I only knew that Wen Ai left her emblem of power with Xiao Li. Since I had been assigned to stay beside you, I never probed into the Wen Clan's matters.”

Xin Zimen's hands clenched tightly, ”Why would she leave such a dangerous thing in our son's hands?”

Xin Kuan had a thoughtful look as he replied, ”Because being surrounded by this danger was the only way for her to protect her sons.” He gave Xin Zimen a look and went on, ”Just because we don't talk about it, doesn't mean Xiao Li or Xiao Si had always been out of danger.”

Xin Zimen stayed quiet in reply. He knew why Wen Ai would pass on her Xiao Li. Technically, he was the rightful heir since he was Wen Ai's eldest son. He just always wanted to keep his sons away from dangers.

In front of him, Xiao Li stopped before a door and the men standing guard outside greeted him.

”What's the situation?” inquired Xiao Li.

”She likes to scream,” said one of the subordinates. ”We had to tape her mouth. Apart from that, we didn't hurt her at all.” The subordinates looked behind him and immediately bowed their head humbly before Xin Zimen, ”Master Zimen!”

”Open the door,” said Xiao Li.

The door was opened for them.

Xiao Li looked at his father and said, ”Dad, why don't you stay behind?”
