344: Chapter 293 344: Chapter 293 Liu Xu followed Ye Tian, with Long Feifeng and some guards trailing behind as they entered the military prison.
The prison was quite clean, but the prisoners were not.
The appearances of the prisoners in the military prison were a bit horrifying.
They were all shackled by iron chains at their hands and feet, and even had their necks locked for those with severe sentences.
Their gazes were terrifying, and their bodies were covered in wounds.
The severely injured lay crippled among piles of straw on the ground.
Each cell contained different prisoners, and despair filled the eyes of many.
Liu Xu, worried about his own son, felt nothing upon seeing these prisoners unless his son was among them.
As those in power, they could easily take lives with just any excuse—like the King, if he says you are wrong, then you are wrong, and your whole clan might be exterminated.
Liu Xu was already fearful.
His son had been brought here, and he didn’t know how much of their secrets Ye Tian was aware of.
If this man and his family were not eradicated, they would always be a huge concern for them.
The Ye Family was harder to deal with than Tang Weiguo’s team.
These terrorists had caused a major disturbance but were almost wiped out, with survivors going into hiding.
The Ye Family was credited for this achievement, especially General Ye at his side.
Liu Xu didn’t believe that Tang Feiyang, a mere young man leading a bunch of bookworms, could accomplish anything significant, certainly not compared to the team his son had led.
Liu Xu saw a cell with one person sleeping alone in the grass, not knowing whether they were dead or unconscious.
This person was lying on his side, back turned to them.
Liu Xu would recognize that figure and build even in ashes—it was his son.
“Tao’er…”
The sleeping person did not respond, remaining motionless.
Liu Xu’s loud calls caught the attention of other prisoners in the cells.
“Ye Tian…
quickly, have someone open the cell.”
Ye Tian signaled to the jailer to unlock the cell.
The jailer unlocked the cell, and Liu Xu hurried in, pushing his son, turning his body over to see his son’s face pale.
Liu Xu turned around angrily and glared at Ye Tian:
“What have you done to my son?”
“Prime Minister Liu, you are wronging me.
I did nothing to your son.
I have already told you that your son is not in his right mind.
Someone put a Sleeping Drug in his drink, and he has been acting mad, not eating or sleeping well.
If I hadn’t sealed his acupoint, he might have died in his delusions.”
“Hmph, is that so?
Should I thank you for that?”
Liu Xu didn’t believe Ye Tian’s words, convinced that Ye Tian had captured his son as an act of revenge against him.
Over the years, he had carried out numerous acts against the Ye Family in secret, and it was sheer luck that the terrorists hadn’t harmed his family.
It was other families that had stirred up trouble, and even the terrorists feared the Ye Family.
“There’s no need for thanks.
If you don’t believe me, let me show you just how mad your son really is…”
With a wave of his hand, Ye Tian directed a flow of Spiritual Energy at Liu Tao, unlocking his sealed acupoints.
Suddenly alert, Liu Tao opened his eyes and hugged his father close.
“Yingzi, I like you so much, I love you so much.
Be mine!”
Liu Tao hugged his own father, speaking madness, and his hands roamed over his father’s body.
“Tao’er, wake up, I’m your father…”
Liu Xu shook his son, his face turning red with embarrassment and anger, embarrassed beyond measure.
To lose face in front of his opponent like this was akin to offering his face up for a slap.
Liu Xu had thought that Ye Tian’s treatment of his son was responsible for this madness, his son’s crazed actions, and lack of clarity must have been a result of the Love Intoxication Drug; his delusions filled with love for a terrorist.
Liu Xu felt it was a poor reflection on them in front of the Princess, making their future union even more difficult.
Holding imperial power in his hands, becoming the King of the country, was not meant to be just a dream.
“Yingzi, be mine, and from now on, whatever you say goes.
I don’t even want the Princess anymore; she’s not as beautiful as you.”
Liu Tao, still delirious, kept saying in front of Ye Tian that he preferred another woman to the Princess, which angered the Princess.
“Fine, Liu Tao, I would never have thought you to be such a person.
The sweet nothings you used to tell me, they were all lies.”
The Princess couldn’t bear to watch and felt too ashamed to stay any longer in Ye Tian’s presence, as she was still an innocent girl at heart.
She had fantasized about many men, but it was just that—a fantasy.
She had never acted on it, believing that Ye Tian was the one for her.
To win Ye Tian’s heart meant she couldn’t take any other men into her chambers.
Long Feifeng led the maids out of the cell.
Using his Cultivation Technique, Liu Xu exerted some force on his son.
Liu Tao, already weak from days without proper food and rest, was overpowered by his father’s martial force.
Though he struggled, he couldn’t resist his father’s force, and continued talking nonsense; he didn’t see his father before him.
To him, it was like he was with a beloved woman, and to Liu Tao, even her use of force was a form of affection.
He enjoyed this violent embrace, enamored with the woman of his illusion.
