404: Chapter 404 【Prince Makes His Move】Fourth Update!
Chapter Four!
“Senior Ye is Ye Mingtian, the heir of the Ye Family, a prominent family in the Capital City.
However, he doesn’t have the slightest bit of the playboy traits typical of wealthy heirs.
He’s kind, courteous, top of our department, and an absolute heartthrob.
He’s the school’s acknowledged ‘campus prince!'” Chu Qingxue said slowly.
“Ye Mingtian?
Ye Mingtian?” Ye Chenfeng muttered these two names, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
Chu Qingxue looked at him in confusion: “Is there a problem?”
“No, by the way, Xue’xue, you and the ‘campus prince’ should have ended up together, right?
Why didn’t you?” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask.
Chu Qingxue thought for a moment and replied: “He did take great care of me.
We used to go to the library, the cafeteria, and the gym together, almost like a couple.
But still, something was missing.
I always saw him as a good friend, nothing more!”
“Good thing you didn’t have other feelings for him.
Otherwise, standing in front of you right now would be Ye Mingtian!” Ye Chenfeng laughed.
“Ye Chenfeng, you…” Chu Qingxue glared at him angrily again.
Ye Chenfeng hurriedly said: “Alright, alright.
So, what happened next?
Did you two lose touch?
You’ve been here for so long, and I didn’t even know this person existed.”
“When everyone thought I would marry Senior Ye right after graduation, something big happened to me, and Senior Ye disappeared, almost as if trying to avoid me!”
“What big thing?” Ye Chenfeng naturally focused on Chu Qingxue.
Chu Qingxue’s eyes showed a hint of evasion: “It’s hard to explain to you!”
Seeing that Chu Qingxue was unwilling to say more, Ye Chenfeng didn’t push her.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he suddenly thought of something and asked: “Xue’xue, in the past twenty years, have you liked anyone?
Of course, besides me!”
Chu Qingxue glared at him: “Shameless, who likes you!”
“Alright, alright, so do you like someone?” Ye Chenfeng asked.
This question seemed to pierce Chu Qingxue’s heart.
Her face reddened, showing a shy expression.
“Something’s up!” Ye Chenfeng clapped his hands.
“I don’t know if it’s really liking.
He always pops into my mind.
I admire his heroism.
I think it’s more of an admiration!” Chu Qingxue said hesitantly.
Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile: “Who is this handsome guy?
Is he more handsome than your Senior Ye?”
Chu Qingxue glanced at Ye Chenfeng, her face turning cold: “Why should I tell you?
Don’t you always keep things to yourself?”
“Hehe, you don’t have to say it; I already know who it is!” Ye Chenfeng said instinctively.
However, upon saying this, Ye Chenfeng suddenly realized he might have slipped up.
As expected, the clever Chu Qingxue looked at him suspiciously and curiously asked: “You know who it is?”
Oh no!
Ye Chenfeng knew that Chu Qingxue already had various suspicions about him.
Wasn’t this just asking for trouble?
“Yes, I know!” Ye Chenfeng actually nodded and admitted it.
“Who is it?” Chu Qingxue’s breathing became a bit rapid.
“It’s definitely me!” Ye Chenfeng laughed heartily.
Chu Qingxue nodded: “That’s right, it’s you!
You finally admitted it!”
“Admit what?” Ye Chenfeng seemed completely clueless.
“Didn’t you just admit that person is you?” Chu Qingxue asked in return.
Ye Chenfeng scratched his nose: “What are you talking about?
I don’t get it!”
“A bastard dressed in black and wearing a mask!” Chu Qingxue said angrily.
If Ye Chenfeng hadn’t held back, he would have sneezed on the spot.
“The person you like is dressed in black and wearing a mask?” Ye Chenfeng asked.
“I knew you wouldn’t admit it, so it’s pointless to talk more!” Chu Qingxue appeared very angry.
“What are you talking about?” Ye Chenfeng was completely confused.
“Sister, brother, why are you two up so late?” At this moment, a small head poked in from outside the door.
It wasn’t Chu Qingfei, who else could it be?
Chu Qingxue’s face turned red with the feeling of being caught.
Chu Qingfei noticed that after going out, the relationship between Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue had improved significantly.
…
“Godfather, I have dispatched people to verify it.
This time, only Ye Chenfeng and three others came back from Tianshan.
Although Ouyang Qingcheng and two others came out of the ancient tomb, they disappeared mysteriously and probably went abroad.
As for the Crown Prince and others, they didn’t come out of the ancient tomb and are likely dead!” Liu Fangfei stood in front of the Prince, appearing to be on pins and needles.
The Prince silently smoked his cigar, seemingly expecting this outcome, and nodded: “Yes, understood!”
“Godfather, the Crown Prince once said there was treasure inside the ancient tomb.
However, based on our investigation, Ye Chenfeng and the others who came out didn’t carry any treasure!
Do you think the Crown Prince deceived us and expended a great deal of resources only for his own private gain?” Liu Fangfei cautiously remarked.
The Prince raised his head, his eyes shooting two beams of icy light: “Say less of such things in the future.
Or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“Yes, godfather, my mistake!” Liu Fangfei bit her lip.
“The Crown Prince is dead, but I must avenge him.
Ye Chenfeng must die!” Although the Prince spoke lightly, Liu Fangfei felt a chill run down her spine.
“To kill Ye Chenfeng?” For some unknown reason, Liu Fangfei’s heart tightened.
The Prince said: “Yes, he must die.
Now go find Miao Jin, the task is in the envelope!”
As he spoke, the Prince handed an envelope to Liu Fangfei.
Carrying her doubts, Liu Fangfei took the envelope and left.
The night was as dark as ink.
Gu Shaoqing and his group walked on the streets of Jiangnan City.
The autumn wind was piercing, making them involuntarily raise their collars.
“Senior Gu, we’ve been here for so long and haven’t made any progress.
Shouldn’t we go back?” Liang Hongjun suggested.
Gu Shaoqing snorted coldly: “Going back now would be like slapping our own faces.
We came to Jiangnan and accomplished nothing, not even more than the local police!
Wouldn’t people laugh at us?”
“But Senior Gu, you’ve had us idling around every day, doing nothing.
It’s natural progress would be slow!” Liang Hongjun complained.
Even Peng Yu showed signs of dissatisfaction.
“When I need you, I’ll inform you!” Gu Shaoqing remained cold.
“Alright!” Liang Hongjun nodded: “But I think Junior Sister Fu Shiyin has already lost her patience and will probably return to the Capital City soon!”
“Ignore her!” Gu Shaoqing said irritably.
Just after parting ways with them, Fu Shiyin was on her way back to the hotel when a black figure suddenly appeared before her.
She found a note in her hand.
Unfolding it, it read: Follow me.
After throwing away the note, the black figure walked off in a certain direction.
Fu Shiyin, being quite bold, thought for a moment and then followed.
