However, when Han Junyan returned to his own residence, he found an unexpected guest… Antony.
Antony sat on the sofa in the living room, a cigarette between his fingers, his cold eyes glancing at Han Junyan as he entered, raising an eyebrow, "Where have you been?"
That posture was naturally one of questioning.
"Meng Jingwei is missing, I went to help find her," Han Junyan did not hide it, truthfully informing him.
Antony brought the cigarette to his lips, taking a few puffs, his lips exhaling smoke and mist, "What does her disappearance have to do with you? Why do you need to find her? What, could it be that you still have feelings for her?"
"Am I that sentimental? Women are just for playing around with."
Han Junyan casually walked into the living room, sat opposite Antony, and said with a 'light and airy' demeanor, "Meng Jingwei is missing. I heard that the Hidden Tribe has a method to seal a person's memory. Once she has her memory sealed by Old Chen Tou, she will obey Old Chen Tou and He Xiaolan Ya implicitly. At that time, she will be He Kayian's greatest rival, and a major enemy for you, Prince."
He took a cigarette from the packet on the table, lit it, and with the cigarette dangling from his lips, continued, "You are rivals with Qing Muyye. If Meng Jingwei becomes the Hidden Lord, it will bring you no benefit. At this point, the enemy is a 'friend.' Helping her is helping yourself."
His righteous words seemed to be all from Antony's perspective, all for his own good.
In reality, Han Junyan had always cared for Meng Jingwei, but for some reason, it was inconvenient to expose his identity.
Antony was half-convinced, his sapphire-blue eyes fixed on Han Junyan, as if trying to discern the truth from his facial expressions. However, he couldn't see any abnormality after a long while.
He leaned back, crossed his legs, and tapped his knee with the hand holding the cigarette, lost in thought.
After a moment, he said, "Did you find her?"
"No."
Han Junyan shook his head, "From what Qing Muyye said, Meng Jingwei's memory has likely been sealed by Old Chen Tou. In the future, if Meng Jingwei obeys Old Chen Tou implicitly, Qing Muyye will never resist. I fear that your cooperation with He Kayian will become even more difficult."
"He Xiaobei, that old man, is truly ruthless towards Meng Jingwei. Didn't he watch Meng Jingwei grow up? His methods are truly despicable and shameful."
Even Antony felt that Old Chen Tou's actions were despicable, shameless, and without any bottom line.
"Old Chen Tou prioritizes the overall situation, his focus is on the position of Hidden Lord. No sentimentality will bind him."
Han Junyan furrowed his brow slightly, his handsome face showing a hint of worry, "Such a person is the most terrifying."
"I heard that Qing Muyye kidnapped He Xiaomingjin, broke a few of his ribs, and left him near death. Is that true?"
Antony asked.
"Yes, it is."
"He Xiaomingjin is that old man He Xiaobei's own grandson, and he doesn't care at all about He Xiaomingjin's life or death."
Antony felt a strange sense of dread towards He Xiaobei.
Facing such a ruthless person who stops at nothing to achieve his goals, he truly didn't know what unexpected situations might arise during a direct confrontation.
A person without any weaknesses is the most difficult to control and the most dangerous.
After speaking, he gave further instructions, "Continue to gather information about Meng Jingwei's situation. Also, seize any opportunity to eliminate Qing Muyye. He..."
Antony's narrow eyes slightly narrowed, a cold glint flashing within them, "Must die!"
As long as he lived, Antony would not have peace.
