Chapter 1391 Gu Jingze Had Been Concealing His Power
“That’s strange. He still personally welcod her yesterday and invited her to the palace. Why is he suddenly sending an army to search for her today?”
“Who knows? We’ll never be able to speculate their world.”
Everyone soon knew how different Lin Che’s world really was from theirs.
Cheng Huanhuan grunted behind. “Seriously, is she the reason why we can’t go ho?”
“Alright, there’s no use complaining at this point.” Everyone was very tired. Hearing Cheng Huanhuan complain annoyed them further.
“Sigh, Lin Che is missing. What about Gu Shiyuan? Is she missing too?” It was only now that so realized Lin Che’s people were nowhere in sight.
“I saw quite a number of people taking Gu Shiyuan away this morning. They looked like Lin Che’s people and they seed to be in a hurry too. Perhaps sothing really happened at that ti but we had no idea.”
“Oh my, these rich people have threats too. It looks like there really is so internal conflict that we don’t know about.”
Everyone could only speculate. Not long later, they saw the news on TV.
The king passed away this morning.
They were stunned.
The news reported that the king passed away while the successor was yet to be confird.
So said that the First Prince Said was the rightful successor, but so thought that the king had his own preference and requested in his will for the Third Prince Hammond to take the throne.
But the royal family was discussing this now and the final outco had yet to be announced.
People at the airport finally understood why there was a sudden lockdown.
Sothing really happened, and it was not a small matter.
The program group started to understand sothing too.
“What’s going on now? Is a real palace fight going on?”
“It’s just like a period drama.”
“That’s strange. What does this have to do with Lin Che?”
“That’s right. How did Lin Che get caught up in this conflict? Would she really be involved in this political event? That would really be... too dangerous.”
Everyone had the chills. It was really dangerous to follow Lin Che.
They were just doing a program. Who would have thought that they would encounter so many things imdiately?
anwhile, at the palace.
Said waited there.
He sat in the large seat with a grave expression, casually fiddling with the gun in his hand.
There was nobody in the grand hall. Said sat in the empty hall like a ghost.
After so ti, he heard so footsteps.
“First Prince, we’ve searched all possible places, but Miss Lin is nowhere to be found.”
Said gritted his teeth. “Fine, fine. She ran away at this ti.”
“First Prince... Now...”
“Continue searching.”
“But our n outside have to go to the armory now. Third Prince is on his way. We...”
“What’s ant to co, will co. No matter how you defend, the successor will be as designated. Would he dare to kill if he doesn’t get it? I’m the First Prince. He can’t do anything to .”
Said was simply that stubborn. His subordinate did not dare to say anything else. He shook his head and quickly left.
On the outside.
Hammond looked at the people inside.
“Gu, you better not go in. It’s too dangerous. We’ll send soone in. if you go in and anything happens to you, I’ll be letting you down.”
Gu Jingze’s cold eyes stared inside, unblinking.
“No, I have to go in and see for myself.”
“Lin Che might not be in there.”
“I’m not giving up just because of one ‘maybe’.”
“But...”
Gu Jingze pushed him aside. His exquisite face was already carved with deep ruthlessness.
With a gun in his hand, he kicked the door open and walked in.
People behind followed. Guns were already held in position as they looked out on alert.
A figure flashed past. However, the people behind were not as quick at Gu Jingze. He went up and pulled the trigger. In one shot, the person was imdiately covered in blood.
His focus was extrely concentrated.
As if nothing else was more important.
He walked forward. He saw soone at the front and a murderous intent filled his eyes.
“Gu, don’t be rash... So people may not be Said’s people.” Hammond could only follow after him.
“I don’t care who they are. Anyone standing in front of is an enemy. There is no turning back for you and . Today, we absolutely cannot make any mistakes. Everything must be done perfectly.”
Hammond froze and looked at him. He could not say anything comforting.
True to what he said, anyone standing in his way was only t with death. It did not matter who the person was or who they worked for.
Until they reached inside...
—
Said looked out from in the room.
“Is he here yet?”
His subordinate stuttered, “Yes, First Prince. What do we do now...”
Said grunted. “The nerve of Hammond. He actually dares to kill.”
“First Prince, it doesn’t seem to be Hammond.”
“No?”
Just then, the door opened forcefully.
The first person who ca in wore a blue badge. It was a Gu family guard.
Holding a gun and standing in front, Said froze. Then, he saw Gu Jingze waltz in from behind.
He moved and looked at Gu Jingze in disbelief.
It was him. How could he be here?
Gu Jingze’s eyes swept the area. “Lin Che, where are you?”
Said paused and then burst into laughter. “I just knew it. Hammond wouldn’t be so brave to kill in the palace. It turns out it was you.”
Gu Jingze repeated. “Where’s Lin Che?”
Said laughed. “But how co it’s you? Haven’t you already left the Gu family? Aren’t you already not the house head?”
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes. “Where’s Lin Che?!”
Said stopped and looked at him coldly. “No wonder Lin Che refused to be with no matter what. She knows you still have power. You’ve been concealing your power and letting everyone think you’re weak after leaving the Gu family. However, you helped Hammond attain everything he has. Haha, you lied to everyone.”
Gu Jingze smiled coldly and looked around. “Where’s Lin Che?”
Said held his hands up. “I don’t know either. I gave her all the space in the world, but she ran away.”
Gu Jingze frowned and looked at him.
Just then, Hammond caught up with them.
“Gu. You... You’re too fast.”
Gu Jingze tossed the gun to Hammond. “I leave this place to you. I’m going to look for Lin Che.”
Hammond froze and then looked at Said.
“Well, well. You knew that Gu Jingze did it on purpose. You guys already planned it for a long ti, haven’t you?” Said scoffed.
Hammond smiled. “Being over-confident is not a good thing. It’s even worse if you underestimate the enemy. Gu may not be the house head of the Gu family anymore, but he’s absolutely the most capable person. As for you, you overestimated the family’s power.”
Said narrowed his eyes. “But you can’t do anything to either.”
“Yes, I won’t kill you. You’re still my brother, but once I’m king, you can never co back here.”
