He looked at her with a blaming gaze, exerting invisible pressure on her, causing her to tremble.
Su Yingxue felt that she might be in a little danger after the confrontation.
Chu Chengye sat in the referee’s seat. Seeing Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan exchanging glances, his eyes immediately turned frosty.
“Someone, bring in the prisoner!” he commanded coldly.
After a while, everyone from the clinic was brought in and made to kneel.
None of them showed any signs of injury, except for Manager Qi, who had been tortured and was covered in blood.
His face was pale. Upon seeing Su Yingxue, he smiled in relief. “Miss, 1 knew you had the capability!”
She wouldn’t let these people stay in prison for too long!
Seeing Su Yingxue, the clinic’s people lit up as if they had seen a savior, each becoming more spirited.
Chu Chengye snorted. “Silence! I didn’t ask for any of you to speak!”
“Seventh Prince, that’s because you didn’t ask! If you don’t ask, does that mean the wronged have no right to seek justice?” Su Yingxue’s tone was forceful, like a punch landing on Chu Chengye’s face.
Suppressing his temper, Chu Chengye’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “Someone, bring in the real felon! I’ll show all of you the consequences of harboring a criminal of the Imperial Court!”
His men went to the prison and came back trembling.
Seeing that he had not brought Qin Muyan, Chu Chengye snapped, “Incompetent! Where is he?”
The man knelt, trembling and drenched in sweat. “Your Highness, please spare me. The prisoner… is gone!”
“What?”
“What?”
Shock rippled through the hall. Even Su Yingxue looked surprised. How could the man from the Great Wei Dynasty have disappeared?
Had Zi Wei taken him away?
She hadn’t given that order!
Puzzled, she looked up and spotted Zi Wei hidden in the shadows. He shook his head at her and vanished.
Frowning, Su Yingxue wondered if it was not Zi Wei, who else could it be?
That man’s rapid recovery from injuries suggested he had escaped the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
Su Yingxue’s gaze remained fixed on where Zi Wei had been moments before. Suddenly, a black figure appeared where Zi Wei was just now. He was wearing a black robe and a black hat. His face could not be seen clearly, but he could stand steadily on the beam and not be discovered at all.
Though the man was like a shadow, Su Yingxue felt the weight of his gaze on her.
Suddenly feeling pressure, she looked back, finding the beam empty as though it had all been an illusion!
Su Yingxue’s gaze was perplexed. Was it an illusion?
Why did it feel so real?
Who was that person?
“Su Yingxue.” Chu Yihan’s voice brought her back. Another person had joined the hall.
It was Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan took out the portrait and instructed Liang Jin to summon the deceased’s family members and some witnesses to confirm that the person he brought was the court’s actual wanted criminal, while the one in Chu Chengye’s custody was not the wanted individual.
With a weighty and oppressive gaze, Chu Yihan fixed his eyes on Chu Chengye. “Verify his identity. This person is the true felon.”
Implicitly, Chu Yihan accused Chu Chengye of apprehending the wrong individual and causing an injustice.
Naturally, Chu Chengye refused to acknowledge it. “Imperial Uncle, are you insinuating that a person you randomly apprehended is a felon of the imperial court?”
Seemingly disinclined to respond to such a foolish question, Chu Yihan waved his hand, prompting Liang Jin to speak. “Seventh Prince, we have the portrait and testimonies of witnesses and the culprit. They sufficiently establish that this individual is the one you seek to apprehend..”
