"Investigate, search thoroughly! Even if you have to dig three feet deep, find the person for me. I want to see who is trying to harm this prince!"
Anthony's eyes turned red with rage. He uttered these words and turned to leave.
Ignoring the knocked-out Li Yun'er, Meng Jingwei turned and walked towards Xiao Cheng and Antina. She said to He Ka Qing Tang, "Hidden Master, do you owe them an explanation and an account for this matter?"
He Ka Qing Tang was the one who had captured the people.
She had confidently declared Xiao Cheng guilty, and this matter required a proper explanation.
He Ka Lian Nu glared at Meng Jingwei, her eyes seeming to say: Have some shame! Your husband is clearly the main culprit, yet you have the nerve to hold my mother accountable.
Meng Jingwei deliberately ignored He Ka Lian Nu, pretending not to see her.
"Hahaha..."
He Ka Qing Tang stood up and waved her hand at the soldiers by the door. One soldier stepped forward and quickly removed the handcuffs and shackles from Antina and Xiao Cheng.
As the jingling restraints were removed, they flexed their wrists.
Antina gazed at Meng Jingwei with unfathomable eyes, ultimately saying nothing.
She was unaware of the full circumstances and didn't know how Anthony had been injured the previous night. She thought Meng Jingwei stepping forward to clarify things for them was an act of kindness.
She felt both jealous of Meng Jingwei and admired her perfection, a perfection that every woman envied.
"Mr. Xiao, Miss Antina, I was negligent in handling today's events. It is indeed my fault. However, I also hope you can understand. After all, it was Prince Anthony who insisted that Xiao Cheng was the perpetrator, so I could only order the arrest. Regardless, as the Hidden Master, this is my mistake."
She stood before them, bowing slightly, and apologized to them, "I am very sorry."
Then, straightening up, she added, "I will host you both later, no, including Miss Jingwei. Please attend a banquet at the Royal Palace, where I will personally entertain you as a gesture of my sincerity. As for compensation, I will have someone deliver it to your residence."
Having said this, He Ka Qing Tang turned and instructed He Ka Yan Yi, "Yan Yi, immediately prepare your Qing Yuan residence and have Mr. Xiao and his wife move in. Since they are guests of the Hidden Tribe, we must not neglect them."
"Yes, Mother."
He Ka Yan Yi nodded slightly.
"Hidden Master, I appreciate your kindness. Thank you," Xiao Cheng said.
He offered his thanks and turned to leave.
Antina said nothing, only feeling wronged in her heart, and followed Xiao Cheng.
Meng Jingwei nodded slightly to He Ka Qing Tang, "Hidden Master, thank you for your trouble. I will take my leave now." She glanced at Qing Mu Ye and gave him a look before leaving.
He Ka Ling Chuan remained silent throughout the entire ordeal.
However, he cast a disgusted glance at Li Yun'er lying on the ground, with an expression of utter disdain.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
How could there be such a big difference between sisters?
She withdrew her gaze, looking at the receding figure of Meng Jingwei. The memory of her heroic demeanor earlier filled her mind, fueling her admiration.
No wonder Anthony targeted Meng Jingwei. Who wouldn't like such a woman?
What a pity.
He Ka Ling Chuan had harbored feelings for Meng Jingwei, but upon learning of her extraordinary skills, he immediately abandoned any such thoughts and dared not harbor any other intentions.
Han Jun Yan glanced at Li Yun'er lying on the ground, feeling as though she was truly "mud that cannot be plastered onto a wall."
Frowning, he bowed slightly to He Ka Qing Tang as well, "Hidden Master, I will take my leave now. Could you trouble yourself to have someone escort her to my residence?"
Since he had spoken, He Ka Qing Tang naturally would not refuse.
