363: Where's the Youngest Prince?

Where's the Youngest Prince?

Thus, there was nothing else to discover from the bow and arrow.1

The Assassin Alliance was just an organization. Anyone could issue a mission. Unless they found the person who issued the mission, the imperial court could not blame the Assassin Alliance.

This was the only clue they had. They could not investigate anything else. Furthermore, an operation like assassinating the prince was not something they could investigate immediately.

Lin Yuchen asked the officials to carry the bodies of the killers back and verified at the scene that Guan Chibei and the rest were not lying. Coincidentally, the youngest prince's personal follower, Leng Han, was also present, which erased the suspicion on Guan Chibei.

"Where is the youngest prince now?"

After the officials cleared the scene, Lin Yuchen turned around and asked Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu.

Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu were speechless. "…" They did not know either.

"The customers said that a black panther saved the youngest prince." Lin Yuchen looked at them meaningfully. "I heard that everyone saw a black panther suddenly arrive at your shop and chase away a few killers. It also saved your three babies… In the end, it even took the youngest prince away, right?"

Lin Yuchen had a deeper meaning because he had long felt that Guan Chibei, a man from the mountains, and even Ye Lulu, was a little unusual.

Guan Chibei was too skilled and Ye Lulu was not like a farmer at all. Their three babies were different as well.

He had always felt that this family had secrets.

Now, it was strange for the black panther to appear and actually save people. From the descriptions of the customers, not only did it understand human nature, but it also seemed to know this family…

Which ordinary family would know a black panther?

The black panther even rushed out from the deep mountains to save their children at the critical moment?

Therefore, Lin Yuchen felt that there were secrets in this family that others could not know.

The officials stood behind Lin Yuchen, including Leng Han. They were asking Guan Chibei about the whereabouts of the youngest prince.

They seemed to have tacitly agreed that the black panther was raised by their family.

Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei looked at each other. The problem was that they did not know either!

However, with the county magistrate, Lin Yuchen, as the leader, they would definitely ask about the whereabouts of the youngest prince immediately.

If Guan Chibei and the rest did not answer, it was impossible for them to get away. Hence, Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu could only say, "The black panther lives in the deep mountains. Let's go back to our house and take a look. If it's not around, we'll wait for a while. The black panther should return in the end."

He could not guarantee that though.

However, apart from this, Lin Yuchen and the rest had no choice. Lin Yuchen and his followers were majestic and oppressive. He waved his hand and said, "Then, let's go to your house to pick up the youngest prince."

The entire hall was silent. Lin Yuchen, the follower beside the youngest prince—who was the number one guard in the imperial palace—and a group of officials followed Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu to Yunwu Village to see if the youngest prince was in the Guan family's courtyard.

Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu brought people to look for the youngest prince, but Mother Rong and the other Guan family members could only stay in the shop to clean up the remaining mess.

The night was dark, but the moonlight tonight was not bad. The path up the mountain was slightly bright, and one could see a little clearly. It was not frightening at all.

The officials went to Yunwu Village. The formation was intimidating.

Some villagers in Yunwu Village were alarmed by the commotion caused by the officials. Most of them were not asleep yet. When they walked out of their houses, they were all shocked.
